GoPro Hero Features
According to the company, the GoPro Hero weighs 86 grams. It is claimed to have 35 percent less volume and 46 percent less mass (including the built-in mounting fingers) than the Hero 13 Black, its other new offering.
The action camera is said to be waterproof up to 5 meters (16 feet) and is ideal for use in places with mud, snow and water. It comes with a touchscreen LCD screen that allows swipe gestures to change the recording modes. Alternatively, GoPro Hero users can also use the Mode button for the same. There is a dedicated shutter button for capturing videos. The hydrophobic cover glass on the camera is said to repel water and is easily replaceable.
GoPro Hero supports video recording in 4K or 1080p resolution. It also has slow-motion capture capabilities at 2.7K at 60 frames per second (fps). Creators can also take 8-megapixel photos from videos recorded in 4K using the companion Quik app. The same app can also be used to share content directly to social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat.
The action cam also features a HyperSmooth video stabilization feature that is said to smooth out the bumps in footage. It shoots horizontally in a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is said to be YouTube-ready.
GoPro says its newest and smallest action camera can record continuous video for up to 100 minutes on the highest video setting on a single charge. It’s compatible with more than 35 existing GoPro mounts and accessories.
