Walking around town with the Session hooked up to my backpack’s shoulder strap via the QuickClip, I got the impression that nobody I passed had a clue I was capturing every line of their face in pristine 1080p 60fps video quality. The QuickClip is tiny, so teamed up with the similarly tiny Session it makes for a very discreet way to film. I tried it with three mounts: a head mount (“Wow, I look ridiculous.”), a chest mount (“OK, I look slightly less ridiculous.”) and a QuickClip, which allows you to swiftly attach the camera to a backwards baseball cap, rucksack strap or similar. You won’t get great audio unless it’s a sunny day with very little wind about – so almost never in the UK then. Unlike some GoPro models, the Hero4 Session also features a built-in microphone that delivers passable, if unspectacular sound. It’s waterproof to a depth of 10m out of the box without the need for a separate housing. Strap it to your chest, head, arm or other appendage and you’ll pretty much forget it’s on. While previous GoPros haven’t exactly been back-breaking millstones, the Session is on a different level entirely. The camera is so light as to be essentially weightless if you’re wearing it. A hatch on one side pops open to reveal a USB port for charging and data transfer, and a microSD card slot. You’re going to want to use the free GoPro app (for iOS, Android or Windows Phone) to delve into the camera’s settings, you see. A red light on the front blinks when the camera is recording, while a blue light tells you when the Session is connected to another device. There’s a rubberised, grippy texture around four sides, two buttons and a small, rectangular LCD panel that gives you some info about the current settings. The Session is a cuboid roughly 35mm in width, depth and height. The tiny cube that can’t be killed (at least not easily)
