GoPro’s voice control supports seven languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. However, GoPro both allows you to customize these commands and has more commands than the VIRB Ultra 30. Next, both the Hero5 Black and Hero5 Session include voice control, fairly similar to what Garmin introduced with their VIRB Ultra 30 cameras a few weeks ago. On the Hero5 Black, these mics are located on the sides and top of the camera, and the unit will automatically choose the best sounding microphone during recording. This puts it more inline with the VIRB Ultra 30 in terms of minimizing wind noise. For example, on the audio front they’ve introduced three microphones, including noise cancelling. The Hero5 Black does see improvements in video and audio though. The entire GoPro lineup of cameras is now waterproof to various levels, with the Hero5 Black being waterproof to 10 meters (33ft). However, that touch screen menu system has been greatly simplified, making it easier for folks to figure out what they’re doing:Īs you probably noticed above, the touchscreen is on the exterior of the camera case – and that’s because the cameras are now fully waterproofed – no external case required. It’s got the resolution/quality specs of a Hero4 Black (4K video 30FPS), but it’s got the touchscreen like a Hero4 Silver did. The Hero5 Black is in many ways the features and specs of a Hero4 Silver & Black merging together. But if you’re still looking for a bit more – read on. With the video watched, you’re a pro now. Here’s a video deep-dive into the Hero5 cameras: Note that down below I have a comparison table comparing the features of the higher-end Hero5 Black to that of Garmin’s VIRB Ultra 30 offering, but for this section I’ll highlight the key new features.īut…if text and photos aren’t your thing – I’ve got you covered. This means that the entire lineup has received a refresh, and it’s also down to just three camera models (from six). Back in April they reduced that count a bit, but now they’ve cut everything down to these three new models:ġ) GoPro Hero5 Black: $399 – Their top-end camera, complete with GPS and 4K, voice control and image stabilizationĢ) GoPro Hero5 Session: $299 – The square Session body with high-end 4K specs, voice control, and image stabilizationģ) GoPro Hero Session: $199 – Same square Session from before, but with a minor microphone update Over the past two years they had amassed a wide number of camera price points that confused the market. So what has GoPro done? Well, they’ve simplified. Now technically, there are two new Hero5 branded cameras and one new non-Hero5 branded, but that’d have made for too long of a section header. Let’s dive straight into things! The New Hero5 cameras: Obviously there’s quite a bit of interest given it’s been two years since a major GoPro camera lineup launch (or, over a year if you count the Session). Now, I’ll be putting together a more hands-on piece over the next 24-48 hours, but until then, consider this a bit of an appetizer and landing place to discuss the new units. These include a handheld gimbal, external microphone/remote combos, and even a nifty $19 adapter to quickly sync your videos to your phone sans-battery. Today GoPro announced three new action cameras, a drone, and a rather interesting flotilla of accessories. Update: Go see my full GoPro Hero5 Black In-Depth Review here!
