GoPro Hero is equipped with a 10-megapixel sensor and is limited to recording video as 1440p at a frequency of 60 frames per second. The speed of successive serial shooting is 10 frames per second. Supports proprietary system of electronic image stabilization and voice control. The body of the novelty can withstand immersion in water to a depth of 10 meters. On the back there is a 2-inch touchscreen display.

In size, the camera is identical to GoPro Hero6 Black, so there will not be a lack of accessories. Photos and videos can be transferred to your smartphone via WiFi.

What is not?

Recording of 4K-video, built-in GPS-module and support for a faster 5 GHz Wi-Fi standard was left for older models. It also does not use the custom GP1 processor, and therefore the stabilization system will be a bit simpler. A simple GoPro Hero is incompatible with the Karma drones, however, the company has already left the drones market . You can not connect an external microphone either.

How much is?

GoPro Hero is already on sale in some countries. In the US, it costs $ 200, and in Europe the recommended price is 220 euros. A couple of years ago, for this money, the user received HERO + without a screen, but the competitors did not sit still. In the same price range, there is a Yi 4K (review), and a relatively new Xiaomi Mijia 4K Small Camera will cost two times cheaper.

"Average" GoPro Hero5 Black with 4K-shooting at 30 frames per second costs $ 100 more than the usual Hero, and the flagship Hero6 Black in the beginning of the year fell to $ 400.
