I have the GoPro Hero4 Session which is the new small one - cost about ?159


+ points

Excellent picture quality


- points

Not intuitive

Connecting to phone app fiddly and unreliable

Does not do all the things it is supposed without a lot of messing around e.g. loop recording

Very fussy about which SD cards it works OK with


This should be a great piece of kit, but instead is just frustrating to use and not worth the effort.


I have ?10 dashcams of eBay that are easier to sue

I've got one for snorkeling trips. Older model (Hero 3+), which has a depth rating of 40m. There are three buttons on a GoPro, which makes it baffling to learn how to use initially but you will get used to it via muscle memory like I did.


GoPro has no built in memories, but I use two 64GB micro SD card which records about 4hr in 1440p mode on each cards (roughly 2hr in 4K mode on the newer Hero4 Black). Make sure you get a UHS-I card (eg Sandisk Extreme, Samsung Pro) as GoPro records in high bitrate.


Some of the newer models has build in LCD, which is useful for framing (though probably useless when snorkeling). You can also get a live feed when used with the iPhone/Android app.


If you do get a GoPro, get multiple third party batteries (DSTE on Amazon are far cheaper than GoPro batteries, and just as good) and anti-fog inserts (essential for snorkeling/diving).

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.   
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
