Limited frame rate options vs HERO5 Black, Need to use the Capture App for most settings
The resolution offerings are finally on par with the market's expectation, and the picture quality is far better than its little brother, the HERO4 Session. We would like more menu control on the Session and a replaceable battery, but overall found it to...

The Hero5 Session is a major specs boost for GoPro's tiniest action camera. It now shoots stabilized 4K video and has a variety of new field of view modes. It's more expensive, but worth the upgrade if you're okay with no replaceable battery...
