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).

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
