SAN MATEO, Calif., July 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc.
(NASDAQ:GPRO), enabler of some of today's most engaging content, is
proud to announce HERO4 Session, the smallest, lightest, most
convenient GoPro yet. 50% smaller and 40% lighter than
GoPro's best-selling HERO4 Black and Silver cameras, HERO4 Session
packs GoPro's Emmy® Award-winning image quality and
performance into an exciting new low-profile form factor. HERO4
Session benefits from a durable waterproof design that eliminates
the need for a separate housing and features simple one-button
control to make capturing immersive photos and video quicker and
more convenient than ever before. HERO4 Session is compatible with
existing GoPro mounts and will retail for $399.99 MSRP at authorized GoPro retailers around
the world and on GoPro.com beginning July
12, 2015.

"With HERO4 Session, we challenged ourselves to produce the
smallest, lightest, most convenient GoPro possible," said
Nicholas Woodman, GoPro founder and
CEO. "HERO4 Session combines the best of our engineering and
user-experience know-how to deliver our most convenient
life-capture solution, yet." Woodman adds, "I'm so excited about
the launch of HERO4 Session because now I can finally use mine in
public!"
HERO4 Session captures GoPro-quality 1080p60, 720p100 and
1440p30 video along with eight megapixel photos in Single, Burst
and Time Lapse modes. It features many of the same innovative
features found in GoPro's best-selling HERO4 Black and Silver
cameras, including SuperView™, Protune and Auto Low Light recording
modes. An expanded set of controls and settings can be accessed
when using the GoPro App or Smart Remote.
Operating HERO4 Session is very simple. A short press of the
shutter button quickly powers the camera on and video recording
begins automatically. A long press of the shutter button powers the
camera on and triggers Time Lapse photo capture. Press the shutter
button again to save video or photo content and power the camera
off. This simple one button design drastically improves the speed
and convenience of capturing life moments as they happen.
HERO4 Session is built to GoPro's famous rugged standards and is
waterproof to 33 feet (10 meters). It features a sleek frame
mounting system that is compatible with GoPro's expansive array of
mounts. An innovative dual microphone system dynamically
switches sound recording between microphones to reduce wind noise
during activities. Audio performance during water-based activities
has been dramatically improved thanks to HERO4 Session's waterproof
design that eliminates the need for a separate waterhousing, which
can often muffle sounds.
"At GoPro, sound quality is as important as image quality and
we're very excited about the stunning audio advancements we've made
with HERO4 Session during water-based and windy activities. It's
incredible what this little GoPro can capture," remarked
Woodman.
