GoPro Introduces Smaller, Simpler Action Camera

GoPro Inc. added a smaller, simpler-to-use camera to its Hero line, part of its strategy to maintain dominance of the action-camera segment it has popularized in recent years.

Called the Hero4 Session, the camera is 40 percent lighter and 50 percent smaller than GoPro’s Hero4 Black and Silver models, the company said Monday in a statement. The device doesn’t have a screen for visually setting up shots like other models, but records video when the user pushes the only button and turns off when it is touched again.
