Has anyone on here got one of the above cameras? Got given one today for my birthday and looks great - but left it at home charging whilst I've gone to work.
Only thing is, it doesn't have a screen on the back to see what you're aiming it at. I'll probably be using it either on a chest harness or maybe stuck on the top of my full face helmet for uplift days (but reluctant on helmet as not sure if it'll compromise the helmet in a crash). Even my £37 Sjcam m10 has a screen on it so you can see where you're aiming it!
The session seems to have wifi and I've just downloaded the app to my iPhone 6s. Can you live connect to it when putting it in a harness and get a real time view to see if you've got it at the right angle?
Hi, good choice on the Session I've a few of them and they are great. They have a very wide angle lens so getting it in the correct position is pretty simple.
I have mine mounted on the side of my helmet and usually have the camera in line with my vision. Just pop your helmet on and ask a friend to line it up.
As for the app, yes it has live streaming so you can use the phone screen to help position it too. Hope that helps 😀
You can live stream them. I have a mount/frame for both my chest harness and have marked the joining part between the frame/mount with some nail varnish so makes it easy to line up again.
Yeah it's pretty much just a matter of using the phone app to gauge where the camera should be once, and then you can remember. I found my guess of where to point it was way out so I recommend riding for a few minutes then checking the footage first.
It's got a really wide field of view too, so there's some margin for error as well.
Thanks for the quick replies - really looking forward to using it now. Will be Feb sort of time before I can ride off road with it though. Boo.
Got a chest harness already got my sjcam - I think the go pro mount will slide straight into that which is good. Going to use my old camera attached to the back of the bike I reckon - so I can get done shots of the rider behind chasing me.
Just hope my pc is man enough for a little bit of light video editing. About a 4 or 5 yr old Mac mini - think an i5 with 8gb of Ram. I'm not that good with computers so no idea if that's good enough or not.....
Halfords have the bars/seat post mount for £10 ATM, I'm picking one up later as I just got a gopro session for myself.
Ah, good heads up. Maybe I'll have a look at the seatpost mount myself.
Although I might have the relevant mounts anyway. My sjcam came with loads of mounts and fittings. Compared to go pro costs they were really cheap.

for an extra £10 you can have all of this extra kit
On quick look that appears to be a lot of extra stuff. Might check it out when home on the home pc. Thanks! Genuine go pro stuff seems ludicrously expensive for what it is.
joebristol - ive got that kit for my gopro session and there's a lot of useful stuff in there. its all good quality stuff too at a pretty decent price
Connected my session to the phone this evening - amazing! So clever how that works.....
