GoPro, Inc. has released an all-new Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® enabled camera dubbed the HERO+. Clocking in at under two hundred bucks, the HERO+ is an affordable entry into the GoPro lineup.
The HERO+ is waterproof and mountable, as expected, and it’s compatible with GoPro’s huge selection of mounts and accessories.
From a performance standpoint, the HERO+ captures 1080p60, 720p60 and 8MP single, Time Lapse and Burst photos. The biggest differentiation between the entry level HERO and the new HERO+ is the addition of Wi-Fi, which allows it to connect with GoPro’s mobile app.
“Whether mounted to a weather balloon floating 100,000 feet above the earth to capture a sunrise across the stratosphere or in the hands of a child recording their backyard tree house adventures, HERO+ is built to capture your imagination wherever it takes you,” said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro’s founder and CEO. “Even as we continue to raise the bar for our highest performing cameras like HERO4 Black, Silver and Session, we remain committed to developing simplified products like HERO+ that make GoPro life-capture accessible to everyone.”
