Fans of the best GoPros are having the best time this Black Friday. First, the flagship GoPro HERO 13 Black gets its first Black Friday price drop; now, the brand-spanking news HERO also drops to its lowest-ever price just months after its release. Now is the time to shop for action cameras, people!
The GoPro HERO is a beginner-friendly, rugged camera. It can shoot in 4K up to 30fps and has a long battery life (for such a small camera). Weighing only 86g, the HERO fits in your pocket and hand and can be mounted almost everywhere.
The camera has a 1.76-inch rear touch LCD for intuitive controls and focuses on simplicity. While the HERO doesn’t have in-camera stabilisation, it supports HyperSmooth stabilisation via the GoPro Quik app, ensuring smooth footage once videos are processed.
Standout features include voice command support, allowing hands-free operation for taking photos, recording videos, or turning the camera off.
The built-in 1,255mAh battery offers decent runtime, recording 4K footage for up to 75 minutes, though it’s non-removable. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-C, making it easy to transfer files.
The HERO is a steal at full price, let alone now. At £177, it's practically half the price of the Insta360 GO 3S, the competitor brand's small 4K-capable camera.
