GoPro HERO+ unveiled with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity

HERO+ rounds out an exciting 2015 GoPro lineup that now boasts the new and impossibly small and simple to use HERO4 Session at a more accessible price of $299.99 MSRP.

Hero+ slots between Hero and Hero+LCD, and might just be the best option of the three if you are looking to get into the GoPro action camera game. Here is what you need to know.

GoPro today unveiled HERO+ as its affordable HERO series action camera with a price tag of $199.

The main difference between the Hero+ and the Hero+ LCD and Hero is its video resolution. It’s pretty incredible how they manage to pack in the optics, battery, storage and all the other inner workings, as well as the included case which makes the camera instantly waterproof to 40 meters and incredibly rugged. That’s a solid feature set at this price point. The rest of the camera is seemingly the same, so you do get Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and 1080p60 movie capture. That brings it down to the same price as the Hero+ LCD at about $300 or £250 and AU$430 in the United Kingdom and Australia, respectively. It also houses an 8MP sensor which can snap 8MP stills (rather obviously) and record both 1080p and 720p at 60 frames per second – upped from the Hero’s 30 frames per second. It also misses out on HiLight tag, Wi-Fi connectivity, and GoPro app support.

HERO+ is integrated into an ultra-durable waterproof housing that delivers GoPro’s legendary durability and versatility. Notably, the Hero+ sits above the GoPro Hero in GoPro’s hierarchy of action cameras. It is now $100 cheaper than before, being offered at $299.99 instead of $399.99.

GoPro has launched their new Hero+ action camera which capture 1080p 60 FPS. the new Hero+ is scaled down in capability, dropping support for 4K video, a touchscreen or dual microphones.
