GoPro has announced a brand new HERO to its action camera family. The new HERO that costs $200 becomes the most budget-friendly camera in the GoPro lineup. According to the company “It’s a camera that makes GoPro accessible to all”.
The HERO comes with a 2-inch touch display that helps you capture and review its 10-megapixel photos and 1080p60 videos. It’s “as easy as using your phone,” GoPro says.
There’s also voice control that lets you do things like snap photos and turn off the camera hands-free and it’s also waterproof and is extremely durable and the improved video stabilization provides smoother capture of bumpy experiences.
Memories captured on the GoPro HERO are transferred to the GoPro app on a smartphone or tablet, saving you the trouble of working with memory cards or having to plug the camera into a computer.
The new GoPro HERO is compatible with all preexisting GoPro’s 30+ mounting accessories.
This latest camera is an effort by GoPro to stabilize its flagging business as its stock price remains at all-time lows. Earlier, GoPro had announced that it had begun licensing out its lens and sensor technology for use in third-party cameras.
The GoPro HERO is available now for $200 from the company’s website and through authorized retailers.
