Questionwhich one is better to buy ? hero 4 or the new mini one ??
Asked 10 years ago by Mahmood.
- Answer Depends on your needs... I love the Hero 4 sessions because it's very compact but very powerful. Here's my review on it... This camera has been a dream. I'm an action news photojournalist and push this camera to it's limits in every way... light/dark, heat/cold, dry/wet. It has come in especially handy when I need to stick a camera under water in hurry. It's become my go-to camera in most situations. As for the reviewer who says "doesn't work most of the time", he/she obviously didn't read the directions. It is a very dependable camera and I'm planning on acquiring more. The new app features allow us to quickly pull 15 & 30 sec clips to post to social media to alert our followers of breaking news situations with quality video from the scene right out of the camera. 100% of this cat rescue footage in this news piece was shot with the GoPro Hero4 Sessions: http://psn911.us/2015/09/01/cat-mini-cooper-rescue/ **no... I have not been paid or asked to do this review, me and my team are just that impressed with it.

Asked 10 years ago by Roger.
- Answer I definitely recommend the GoPro Hero Sessions 4. It is a mighty-might of cinematography in my opinion. It's very light and it's compact size should enable you to come up with some creative mounting options.

QuestionCan I easily switch between taking pictures and recording video while underwater? Or I should have gotten the Hero+?
Asked 9 years ago by UnderwaterGirl.
- Answer You can switch fairly easily as long as you don't have gloves on its a very small button on the back of the camera that lets you cycle, I personally have not used the photo mode because it is much easier to grab a still photo from your video, if you are taking alot of still photos I would suggest an underwater camera. I mainly use the Hero for Video and I have a Sony DSC-TX30 for underwater Stills and that takes amazing underwater pictures, It also has a Video mode in which you can click stills simultaneously while videoing although the battery dies pretty fast while taking lots of video so I got the HERO Session for my future videos
  I would recommend:
  - Sony - DSC-TX30 18.2-Megapixel Waterproof Digital Camera - Black

QuestionI was told the hero4 session you are not able to switch batteries and it only last 1 hr and needs to be recharged. is this correct?
Asked 9 years ago by ED.
- Answer Correct, you cannot exchange batteries. From my experience I have used it and it lasted about 2 hours. Of course you can always buy a portable charger and just charge it on the go, that is what I do.
