GoPro Hero 5
Even with a difficult year behind them
there is a lot of anticipation around the Go Pro Hero 5, more so now the first
leaks have been released online.
GoPro are under serious pressure this
year, not only are their sales lower than ever, but competition is even more
fierce than ever before. Small Chinese brands have been flooding the market
with cheap GoPro knock off’s for years now, and many of them are becoming
rather good, while more recently XiaoYi released their 4K flagship action camera
boasting many of the features we expect to see on new GoPro cameras.
The next GoPro will be the Hero 5, and
in new details that emerged this weekend we now finally have some idea of what
the new POV camera will have to offer. We have seen GPS in other POV cameras and the feature
can offers some nice touches to action video from current speed to even showing
a small map of where the wearer is over video.
The screen has also been update on the
Hero 5 to recognise gesture controls with a simple swipe down from the top to
access a quick settings menu. GoPro are expected to release the Hero 5 in
September along with their first ever drone named the GoPro Karma. We’ll have
more news on both when it’s available.
