If you thought the GoPro Hero4 was convenient, wait until you check out the Hero4 Session, available this Sunday at all Best Buy stores and on bestbuy.com.
The Hero4 Session is the smallest GoPro yet. In fact, it’s 50 percent smaller and 40 percent lighter than the rest of the Hero4 series. It’s not only easily mountable; it’s easily wearable, and, waterproof (up to 33 feet) without any extra casing.
It’s also easy to accessorize. Best Buy will have 13 accessories for the Hero4 Session at launch, including those all-important mounts.
If you’re looking to sharpen your photography skills, then head to a Best Buy Camera Experience Shop near you for some professional training.
Aspiring photographers can attend a free workshop, taught by a local expert, from 10 a.m. to noon this Sunday at more than 60 locations across the United States. Another session will be held on July 26.
Professional photographers will teach techniques for taking action shots, portraits, low-light photos and close-ups. Attendees will receive expert feedback and advice, and be able to try out lenses and accessories.
Whether you’re an amateur or professional photographer, drones can be complicated and intimidating.
Not anymore.
Introducing the Solo™ by 3D Robotics, which will hit over 400 Best Buy stores on May 31, just in time for Father’s Day. It’s the first-ever drone powered by two integrated Linux computers, making capturing the perfect shot easy. The Solo retails for $999.
Solo can define its own flight, freeing users to focus on getting the shot. This intelligent drone is also the first to support full control of GoPro® cameras and deliver live-streaming HD video straight to mobile devices or through the controller’s HDMI port.
