Action camera HDR-AS50 vs GoPro hero session?

GothicGhost · 12 Jul 2017 at 23:11

Looking to buy my first action camera mostly for airsoft with a bit of cycling.

I was so set on the Go pro session but the AS50 looks really nice and same spec I think.
Also with the ability to change the battery mid game as I don't think you can with the go pro?

My only major concern about the AS50 is getting protective casing for the camera body if taking hits in the side of it.

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks I do like the gopro but the battery life is what's putting me off.
The girlfriend was saying about you can get battery packs then you plug in to use as an external battery.
Not sure how good they are.

Thanks I think I will get the gopro as I will get a battery pack for airsoft.

I was reading up with some battery packs you can't use the camera at the same time?
Is that certain cameras or some battery packs that have that issue?

Thank you.

Thank you I have ordered the GoPro hero session with a bike mount and picatinny rail mount for my guns.

Going to get something like this later so I can use the gopro on my pistols.

On my rifles I will use this for now to protect my gopro and scopes http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RIFLE-SIG...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

And getting another cheap Protective Frame Case then glue plstic panels where the holes so no BB can hit the gopro at all.
