      This or GoPro hero 2018 ?

      • r0xz on 26/12/2018 - 01:29

        Hero 2018 if you need a screen, otherwise this would be just the same.

          Gopro Hero 5 session does 4k recording, but Hero 2018 doesn't. Hero 2018 is the same as Hero 7 white besides a little screen at the front

          • easternculture on 26/12/2018 - 01:32

            @Juniormin: Hero 2018 can be flashed to hero 5 black if that makes any difference

            • [Deactivated] on 26/12/2018 - 01:33

              @easternculture: True. Question is where to find one for around the $200 mark.

                @[Deactivated]: It's was $150 at Amazon as they price matched JB hi-fi's deal that lasted probably 20 minutes before it sold out

                Hoping they will repeat the deal on Amazon

                • [Deactivated] on 26/12/2018 - 01:37

                  @easternculture: Yeah I was so dissapointed I missed out! I hope they do the sale and Amazon matches it, i'll be all over it this time :D

              @easternculture: One of the major advantage of Hero 2018 is you can change with a spare battery if you run out the juice, but with session you can only plug in to recharge it. Session ia much more compact and I only use it during day time mostly staying on my motorbike helmet. Just bought one.

              • Smokey010 on 26/12/2018 - 01:39

                @Juniormin: Juniormin is go pro on motorbike helmet legally allowed? Also how have you it placed it on your helmet? Any links would be appreciated. TIA.

                  @Smokey010: I'm not sure about other states but in SA mounting a camera on helmet is not a problem. There is a curved mount comes with the camera that you can stick on the helmet in front of you chin or even mounted on top or side, depends what you prefer.

                @Juniormin: Can you Mod a session and use it as a dashcam

  • superroach on 26/12/2018 - 01:33

    Cracker of a deal, It's a shame they gave up on this size

  • zeckem on 26/12/2018 - 03:17

    just to let you know Hero 7 has HyperSmooth roller-shutter correction which is spectacular technology, similar to a gimbal. you would otherwise have to purchase the Hero 5 and a gimbal to get the same result. a Hero 7 might just be the same price.

    i recommend you read reviews and youtube the differences, HyperSmooth is unreal! i just don't want anyone to regret it after buying the older model.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/12/2018 - 03:22

      Fair point, but a slightly different product. The session has no screen so is a much smaller form factor. Plus the price point is better than even the white 7.

    • wattstar on 26/12/2018 - 05:19

      Also worth mentioning that only the Hero 7 Black comes with HyperSmooth, other models don’t have this feature.

    • lilkid28 on 26/12/2018 - 05:28

      Seems like quite a few reviews with camera freezing issues though ….

      • Juniormin on 26/12/2018 - 09:16

        And Hero 7 black cost 3 times more…

    Amazing camera, love that you can rotate it in the frame to shoot at odd angles.

    Mostly the same as the 5 Black (which is still better than the 7 Silver/White) but without GPS or swap-able batteries

  • grads5 on 26/12/2018 - 14:01

    Does anyone recommend a waterproof housing for this? Would love to take it diving? Would it do a decent job, I am not wanting to turn pro or anything, just wondered if this will do the job?

  • aedalat on 26/12/2018 - 14:37

    it may be an stupid question, but I cannot find the difference between this and the following:
    https://www.amazon.com.au/GoPro-HERO5-Session-Professional-C…

    the price in the second one is much more.

    Also appreciate if someone can confirm what the package include, I could not find it anywhere. cheers

    • blonky on 26/12/2018 - 14:46

      Same product. Includes the standard frame + 2 sticky mounts and USB-C cable.
      I recommend the SanDisk Extreme, Lexar 633x or Samsung Evo Plus or Evo Select microSD cards - 64GB gives you around 2 1/2hrs of 4K or 5hrs of 1080p video

      • zoidee on 27/12/2018 - 16:11

        Does Samsung Evo Plus/Evo Select work with the session 5?? It doesn't list the compatability on the gopro website so I was a bit hesitant to rush out and buy it at Officeworks which matched Harvey Norman

        • blonky on 27/12/2018 - 17:39

          I’m currently using all of the above cards for 4K with no issues; pretty sure the Evo plus/select are recommended on some of their cameras

  • grads5 on 26/12/2018 - 17:06

    It's currently not available now :(

      Yep, decision has now been made for me.
