Nens MitchellSome adventure-loving people and travelers are still torn over what GoPro Hero 5 camera model to buy for their trips. The year 2017 has arrived and action camera enthusiasts have weighed on the two choices.
Released in September 2016, both the GoPro Hero 5 Black and Session came with a 4K video shooting capability and are waterproof up to 33 feet. Users of the GoPro Hero will not need to buy an additional underwater accessory since the device itself can already be used for water adventures.

Sold at a higher price of $399, the GoPro Hero 5 Black is also the bigger option since it houses a 2-inch touchscreen. Through this, users will be able to see the appearance of their photos and videos using their the screen at the back of their action camera.

The 12MP lens of the GoPro Hero 5 Black can capture videos up to 30 frames per second. There is also less movement in the video because of the stabilization feature of the action camera.

The two GoPro Hero 5 models can be both charged using a USB-C port but the Hero5 Black also has an HDMI connector giving users the chance to directly connect the device into a monitor or a television. They also both have slots for a microSD card.
