Summary

The GoPro Hero4 Session is a tiny cube that records HD video at 1080p 30fps and 8-megapixel still images. I'm really liking this camera. Its had some negative reviews and people seem to misunderstand how to get the best footage out of this camera. As mentioned in the video - color grading is done in DaVinci Resolve which you can get for free. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve The plugin I used with final cut to reduce the wide angle distortion the GoPro records is the Alex4D Wide Angle Fix - its free as well. http://alex4d.com/7-alex4d-wide-angle-fix-effect Twitter: http://twitter.com/tedforbes Instagram: http://instagram.com/tedforbes Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aop.podcast Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/tedforbes Website: http://theartofphotography.tv And get on our mailing list to stay up to date on photography news and the latest episodes: http://theartofphotography.tv/about/mailing-list/ Ted Forbes The Art of Photography 3100 Main St #135 Dallas, Texas 75226 Thanks for watching - if you like this video, remember to share it with your friends!

0:14.6	What's up everybody in this video? I want to take a look at the GoPro Hero 4 session which is this little guy and the Hero 4 session is an action cam that is capable of shooting HD video at 1080P at 30 frames a second as well as 8 megapixel still images and there is a mode in here that allows you to do time lapse as well. When the GoPro came out last year it came out with a
0:19.1	price tag of $400 which was pretty ridiculous and very competitive with other products in the GoPro
0:24.0	lineup.
0:25.0	However, probably due to poor sales and also some of the valuation problems that go pro has had recently
0:29.8	on the stock market, they have lowered the price to 199. Now at
0:33.0	199 it does make a lot of sense and I've been shooting on this for a couple
0:36.5	weeks now and I really love this mainly because of the size and the
0:39.9	simplicity and I want to kind of go through and show you some
0:43.4	footage as well. So it's a cube and it's black so it's very inconspicuous.
0:47.4	On the front you have the lens. On the top you've got a button and
0:50.6	when you press that button it powers the camera on and starts recording.
0:54.0	To stop recording you press it again and it will follow by powering the camera off as well.
0:58.0	There's a small LCD screen which gives you some basic information of how much time, battery life you have left, time on the
1:03.8	card, etc.
1:05.1	On the side you have a little door here and when you open that up that gives you access to the
1:09.4	micro-sD card as well as the USB port that you're going to use for charging.
1:13.0	And on the backside you have this small button down here which you're going to use to
1:16.9	scroll through the settings and they will come up, they're kind of quick
1:20.1	settings and they're going to come up on the screen and you're going to use that in combination with the power button to change settings on the camera.
1:25.0	Now they're just quick settings and to access all of the settings and options that you have available to you.
1:30.0	You're going to want to pair this up with your smartphone and use the
1:33.3	GoPro app to do that. I'm filming with the Hero 4 session right now and what
