In addition to the heavily updated HERO5 Black, the smaller HERO5 Session also receives significant upgrades. Video resolutions up to 4K at 30 frames per second are now available, as are professional quality 10MP photos, voice control, simple one-button control, waterproof without a housing up to 10 metres, professional grade electronic video stabilisation and distortion-free wide angle video and photos with the new linear-view setting.

To compliment these updated HERO5 offerings, GoPro also released their new cloud-based software solution. When a HERO5 Black and Session cameras are charging, they can now auto-upload photos and videos to GoPro Plus, a cloud-based subscription service that makes it easy to access, edit and share GoPro content anytime, anywhere. Editing and sharing is now easier than ever thanks to this all-new service.

GoPro Plus subscribers will also benefit from additional premium offerings including access to an expansive library of music soundtracks for editing, 20 percent off mounts and accessories, exclusive access to GoPro apparel and premium support. GoPro Plus supports all camera models, although only the HERO5 models support auto-uploading to the cloud while charging, other GoPro models can upload to GoPro Plus via the Quik App for desktop. Following a free trial, the GoPro Plus subscription costs US $4.99 per month and will be available worldwide beginning January 2017.
