GoPro has just officially announced the Black Hero 5, first light camera action the company since the Hero 4 was unveiled in 2014. the company also announced the Hero 5 session, and update to the original session - the small camera, cube-shaped, which was published last summer. The cameras were unveiled at the GoPro Karma drone launch event at Squaw Valley Ski Resort in Northern California, and the two are compatible with the first quadcopter GoPro. They will be available 2nd October.
a surprising number of features and traits $ 399 The Black Hero 5 and by $ 299 Hero 5 Session. Both shoot 4K images up to 30 frames per second, and both are strong outside the water box up 33 feet without housing. Each camera also has voice control, with seven languages supported at launch. And both are able to automatically save images and photos in the new GoPro service plus a subscription cloud (more than in a bit).
There are significant differences between the two cameras, however. The Black Hero 5 looks like a more robust 4 hero, takes photos 12 megapixels, comes with an LCD touch screen 2 inches, the GPS functions, and can capture RAW images and high dynamic range video. The Hero 5 Session on the other hand, takes 10 megapixel photos (probably with a smaller sensor), and there is no screen, no GPS, and no RAW or WDR mode. (The session will still ProTune GoPro video mode, though, which allows users to capture an image flatter which is easier to correct colors when editing.)
GoPro is also touting a simple menu system for two cameras, with a single button (as the company offered the Hero 4 session). The Black Hero 5 even has dedicated buttons for photo and video recording. Each unit comes with stereo microphones, too. GoPro Hero 5 said the new cameras will also "professional quality", stabilization of electronic or digital image. It is something that GoPro has never offered before, but it is also one of the few notable drawbacks considering Sony has announced that the new cameras in its range of action Cam have the mechanical image stabilization.
Moreover cameras and Karma drone, GoPro GoPro also announced officially over. Nick Woodman, CEO of GoPro was teasing the cloud storage service for some time now, and the details of how it works disclosed last month. It basically goes like this: users pay $ 4.99 per subscription fees a month, and when they plug in their cameras at home images and photos they shot will start uploading to the cloud . These files can then be accessed by all mobile apps Edition GoPro (Quik and Splice), the newly refreshed mobile app (now known as the capture name) app or the company office. The desktop application, to be updated and renamed today. It will now be known simply as the desktop version of Quik and GoPro added standalone editing functions I had a glimpse of the history of May.
The disadvantage of GoPro Plus is that users will be able to download the files and edit them locally - you can not start editing a project on one device and pick up seamlessly on another. The subscription includes a free GoPro more music library of law, and 20 percent off the camera mounts and accessories. It will be available from September 29th.
The throw-in features of GoPro GoPro more so the tip hand on how he will market these new cameras. The flagship features of the two 5s Hero are not really unique - you can find most of them competitors like Sony or Garmin - but the strong top-down experience that is always offered GoPro becomes even stronger with ads today. Now it's just a question of whether this ecosystem reinforced-up and announcement of Karma will be sick enough to save the stock of the company.
