Easy one-button control.
A single press of the shutter button powers on the camera and begins capturing video or Time Lapse photos automatically. A second press of the shutter button stops recording and powers off the camera. It’s that simple.

World’s most immersive video.
HERO4 Session features SuperView™, a GoPro-exclusive video mode that captures the world’s most immersive wide–angle field of view. It allows you to capture more of yourself and your surroundings in the shot—resulting in captivating, ultra engaging footage of every adventure.

HiLight Tag your best moments. HiLight Tag enables you to mark key moments while recording so you can quickly locate your best clips later for convenient playback, editing or sharing. Just press the button on the camera or Smart Remote3 when you capture a moment you’d like to tag. You can also tag your highlights using the GoPro App.

Dual mic system.
HERO4 Session features two microphones: one on the front of the camera and one on the back. When you’re filming in windy conditions or during high-speed activities like motorsports, the camera automatically switches to the mic that’s best-suited for capturing optimal audio. The result? Reduced wind noise and enhanced audio capture—no matter what the conditions or activity.

Built-in battery.
The battery is built directly into the camera and offers up to 2 hours of recording time on a full charge.4 The included USB cable allows for charging the camera with your computer or the GoPro Auto or Wall Charger.3
Mount upside down, capture right-side up.
When the camera is mounted upside down, Auto Image Rotation automatically adjusts the capture orientation to right-side up so there’s no need to flip your footage in post-production.
