After previously unveiling their new entry-level
GoPro Hero action camera. GoPro has this week Made it available to purchase
together with the newly launched GoPro Fusion 360 camera which was made
available on April 2nd, 2018 priced at US$ 650. The entry-level GoPro Hero is now
available to purchase directly from the GoPro online store and worldwide retail
partners priced at US$ 200.
As expected the entry-level GoPro Hero action camera
when compared to the more expensive GoPro action cameras offers a little less
performance. With a max resolution and frame rate of 1440p at 60 frames per
second. So if you are looking to record 4K Ultra HD resolutions or super slow
motion footage you will need to invest more into the GoPro range, or look
elsewhere.
The US$ 200 GoPro Hero is powered by the Ambarella chip
enabling it to capture 10 megapixel photos and the camera is equipped with just
a single burst shooting option that is capable of capturing 10 frames per
second and one-time lap setting of 0.5 seconds per shot. Other features of the
new Hero action camera include a 2 inch touchscreen, voice control, digital
video stabilisation and a waterproof casing that allows users to take it to a
depth of 30 feet.
