Gopro Hero 4 Session action camera first impressions

I recently purchased a Gopro Hero 4 Session action camera and here are my first impressions after un-boxing, charging, pairing, and recording two short videos with it.

I already have a point and shot camera capable of taking photos and videos, as well as smartphone, tablets, and video cameras but didn’t have anything like a more rugged and small action camera such as this one.  I don’t currently participate in extreme sports activities but I do travel a lot and when I do I want to minimize weight and space so as to allow using only carry on sized baggage.

I needed to buy a micro SD memory card for use with it, as it doesn’t have any internal storage for videos and pictures.  I also purchased an additional mounting kit that contained a head worn harness, and a clip that could be used with a cap that’s tuned backwards.

The first thing I had to do after unpacking the camera is install the micro SD memory card behind a small hinged door on the side.  This is also where I connected the charging USB cable and let the camera charge for about an hour.
