The Smallest, Lightest and Widest Angle GoPro
Camera, Ever—A Camera So Small, You'll Forget It's Mounted to Your
Gear
Critically Acclaimed as the Best Action Camera
Available for Under $200 Thanks to
Unbeatable GoPro Quality
SAN
MATEO, Calif., Jan. 30,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro's (NASDAQ: GPRO) tiny,
flyweight, 86-gram HERO action camera is getting a big
upgrade that enables much wider, more immersive video with a new
4K 4:3 aspect ratio video setting and
in-app SuperView Digital Lens option. Existing HERO owners can
update their camera for free today via GoPro's app.
"The tiny HERO camera is so small and
lightweight, you forget it's there," said GoPro founder and CEO,
Nicholas Woodman.
The new 4:3 aspect ratio utilizes the sensor's full height and
width when filming and is ideal for capturing:
- Ultra-immersive first-person perspectives that make you and
your audience feel "like you're there"
- More engaging selfie shots that easily fit you, your family and
friends and your surroundings into the shot
- Taller videos that are better for sharing directly to
Instagram, TikTok and Facebook
You can also crop your 4:3 videos to 16:9 aspect ratio for a
more traditional widescreen look.
There's also a new SuperView Digital Lens option available in
the GoPro Quik App, which lets you convert your massively wide
angle 4:3 video into a 16:9 video with a "that's so insanely wide"
effect. SuperView makes everything you capture look faster, more
immersive and more exciting. Previously only available in more
expensive GoPro cameras, the SuperView Digital Lens setting is now
available for free as an in-app option for the tiny $179* HERO camera.
With these new updates, the 86-gram HERO camera is now the
combined smallest, lightest and widest angle GoPro, ever.
"The new, tiny HERO camera is so small and lightweight, you
forget it's there. It's brilliant for everyone from kids to
experienced GoPro users looking for the ultimate miniature
ultra-wide-angle camera from GoPro," said GoPro's founder and CEO,
Nicholas Woodman. "HERO has become
one of my favorite GoPros ever, and I'm stoked we continue to
improve its performance with each new update," Woodman added.
Independent reviewers are celebrating HERO as the world's best
action camera for under $200 thanks
to its renowned GoPro quality, simplicity and diminutive size and
weight:
- The New York Times Wirecutter named HERO "The best
budget-friendly action camera."
- CBS News says: "The GoPro HERO camera is priced at just
$200, so it's the perfect entry-level
action camera that can also serve as an everyday point-and-shoot
option."
- ZD Net notes: "The GoPro 4K
[HERO] condenses the main features that people want from an action
camera—ruggedness, stabilized 4K
video, and broad accessory base of attachments and mounts—and packs
them into a small, versatile, easy to use camera."
- Unofficial Networks' key takeaway is: "For the person who's
just hoping to capture memories, get some good quality footage of
their big ski trip, or get their first action camera, the GoPro
HERO could be an amazing way to do so."
HERO's exciting new, ultra-wide 4:3 video and Superview Digital
Lens updates are available now via the GoPro Quik app on
iOS and Android or on GoPro.com.
