GoPro announced that its new cloud-connected cameras, HERO5 Black and HERO5 Session, are now available.
GoPro’s all-new HERO5 line of cameras can auto-upload photos and videos to GoPro Plus, a cloud-based subscription service to access, edit and share GoPro content anytime, anywhere using a mobile phone or computer. Additionally, HERO5 cameras are now waterproof to 33 feet without the need for a separate waterhousing and feature voice control, image stabilization, simplified controls, and improved battery life.
Also new to both HERO5 cameras is the ability to capture non-fisheye perspectives as well as the traditional wide-angle look GoPro has become famous for.
