hey guys I'm been from authentic and
today we'll be comparing the new gopro
hero five black 405 session verse the e4
k now you might have seen my previous
video where i pitted the 4k for scope
rose older hero for camera and it kind
of blew it away but now we have the
brand new hero five lineup packed with
some new features and better pricing how
do they stack up
well let's dive in always a quick
disclaimer before the trolls start
commenting I've received zero dollars
from both ye and go pro I literally just
bought the GoPros myself I picked him up
from bestbuy and here's my receipt suck
it no it's impossible for me to cover
all the topics and comparing details
that i want to so if you have additional
questions leave me a comment down below
and lastly i've updated all firmwares at
the time of filming this video starting
with an overview of specs and shooting
resolutions they're all kind of similar
they all can shoot 4k @ 30fps the hero
five black and you can both do 1080p a
hundred 20fps while the session is close
behind at 90 FPS you can view all the
resolution specs online the new hero
five black finally has a built-in screen
this is very nice and helpful they also
update their UI and navigation which was
a good step forward but i do still like
the East screen a bit more
it's a tad larger sharper brighter image
on-screen and feels faster in a bit snap
your while the GoPro was sometimes
glitchy might even froze up the screen
went work power button won't turn off to
pull the battery to restart it
hopefully these are software bugs that
will get fixed and future updates the
new session doesn't have a touchscreen
but I do appreciate the little LCD
screen to toggle few options and view my
camera settings plus both the GoPros now
support one button control so even when
they're turned off you just single press
and all auto start recording right as it
turns on the two new gopros are
out-of-the-box waterproof this is huge
and super awesome they're ready to go
down to 33 feet the you can go
underwater but you'll need to buy that
underwater housing case you won't have
access to the touch screen and audio
will be highly muffled more on the
shortly
next up battery life the hero five black
as a 1220 million powers battery session
has a built-in 1000 and the years at
1,400 sorry i did not have time to
thoroughly and scientifically test this
but in my couple days of filming I
observe two things first I could tell
the GoPros at a bit more juice lasting
longer compared to their older models
and secondly here the battery
percentages after a few hours of filming
this session clearly wins by having no
touchscreen with the e and second place
next is the most important topic in my
opinion
how's the actual image quality dynamic
range clarity starting with some
side-by-side comparison shots make sure
you're viewing this in 4k if you can and
you'll be able to make out some slight
differences i first tried comparing all
in a flat color profile and the GoPros
killed the 4k in that division just
because they use color balances way off
when shooting flat it's pretty terrible
so then i switched to how most people
the average shooter will be capturing
and that's with a normal color profile
turned on
here's a few my observations straight up
each camera looks pretty dang good
even the tiny session cam holds up well
when zooming in on the details i think i
like the image quality and clarity of
the hero five black the best with a year
in a very close second place though it's
almost relative to personal opinion I'll
let you guys decide dynamic range is
impressive on all three even shooting at
very high contrast scenes there's often
plenty of details left in both the
highlights and shadows
jumping to some lowlife test I first
compared to all three at dusk
I found the two GoPros to be a tad too
saturated though this can easily be
fixed if you're shooting a flat profile
also the hero five black has a bit more
details in the dark areas over the
session camp but the yay holds up best
with clarity in the shadows and even
better in the highlights and then I
filmed windows nighttime turning on auto
low-light options in each camera and
raising the iso limits the hero five
session has a lower ISO limit and was
pretty dark and kind of unusable then we
have the hero five black and it can see
a lot more in the dark however the image
is pretty noisy and grainy at high iso
and that strong red shoe last up was the
4k which I personally think produce a
bit more accurate colors in the dark
with much less iso noise and cleaner
image in the shadows for these two low
light has i'd rate the e on top
moving on to another big features
stabilization my test would pretty
scientific i basically walked and
scooted around while holding the cameras
take to a piece of cardboard they all
did pretty well but side-by-side i think
i'd have to rate the year for the best
stabilization with the hero five black
in a very close second
the session and third-place however all
these cams must be placed in a lower
resolution for stabilization be turned
on all these were shot at 2.7 k wide
angle and I think the image quality was
the worst at this res it's downgraded
quite a bit while the GoPro still
maintain a nice image
it's a bit of a compromise next up a lot
of you asked about microphone so here's
some audio comparison shots for you
this is an audio test gopro hero five
lakh audio test to go pro hero five
session audio test 3e 4k audio test test
gopro hero five black audio test gopro
hero five session audio test ye 4k test
test 123 in my opinion the GoPros win
this one also note the hero five black
has three Mike ports constantly auto
switching and balancing or you can
switch to manual control plus it has
external microphone support and both
GoPros worker
the underwater world hope I'm gonna pop
one who since the year has to be placed
inside that case audio is almost
impossible underwater so GoPro wins for
all things audio and water
ok so lastly and importantly price the
hero five is four hundred dollars it
finally has that built in touch screen
and a ton of other new features and
improvements lots of things I didn't
even get a touch on like built-in GPS
hdmi port exposure control raw and HDR
still photos voice control some great
bonus features that help warrants that
price tag
next the new session is $300 ok so not
bad i love it small form-factor plenty
of shooting resolutions and frame rates
and overall can produce some
great-looking shots
lastly is the e4 k and it's only 250
dollars it captures great-looking shots
has a fantastic touchscreen built-in and
it's cheaper than both so here's my
closing thoughts
thank you go pro for stepping up to the
plate their new hero five cans are
greatly improved all-around price a bit
more competitively I'd say you can't
really go wrong with any of them as it
depends on what your budget is and what
key features you're looking for if
you're needing something more affordable
yet can capture fantastic shots a 4k
might be the best action cam for you but
if you're looking for a lot more
features packed in the very best of the
best image quality lots of underwater
usage external audio input then i
definitely recommend going with the hero
five black and what about the session
while most days i'd recommend the year
over the session because it's cheaper
and has that built in screen but if
you're really needing that built-in
waterproof and hardcore durability or
you need that ultra small form factor
that's when the session might be perfect
for you hopefully my comparison helped
you out today make sure you subscribe
and I'll definitely be reviewing the new
car madrone as well as the new DJ I
mavic bistree smack that thumbs up
button if you want to see those videos
and until next time let's live fantastic
