Video Quality
HERO captures the same immersive footage that’s made GoPro one of the best-selling cameras in the world. With gorgeous 1080p30 and 720p60 video, and user-friendly modes like QuikCapture, SuperView and Auto Low Light, it’s easier than ever to get the shot and achieve professional-quality results every time.

Diverse Photo Capture
A variety of photo capture options gives you the power to document your passions any way you want. Shoot 5MP still photos to share with friends on Facebook, Instagram and more. Time Lapse mode automatically captures a photo every half-second. It’s great for gear-mounted shots when the shutter button is out of reach, or capturing a series of photos so you can pick the best ones. Burst mode shoots up to 5 photos in one second—perfect for fast-action sequences.

Rugged, waterproof, all in one design
The HERO camera is built directly into a rugged housing1 that’s waterproof to 131’ (40m). It’s designed to withstand dirt, sand, water and nearly anything else you can throw at it. So whether you’re getting after surf, snow or singletrack—or just splashing in the pool with your friends—you can take it with you without a worry.

Small + Lightweight
Weighing just 3.9 ounces, HERO is super small, ultra portable and perfect for low-profile mounting. Its compact design means you can comfortably wear it or mount it to your gear as you capture your favorite activities, or slip it in your pocket or bag to take anywhere.

QuikCapture convenience
Be ready to capture the moment at a moment’s notice with new QuikCapture mode. It turns your GoPro into a one-button camera, allowing you to power on and start recording automatically with the press of a single button. Press once to record video, press and hold for two seconds to capture Time Lapse photos. Never worry again about missing an epic shot.
