Yesterday, GoPro announced their new action camera(s) for 2019. We say plural as there are now 2 new Hero cameras w/ one being a modest update and the other being a newer vision of their cameras. Say hello to the Hero8 and the Hero Max.
The new Hero8 Black offers a 12MP sensor a new SuperPhoto that optimzes better HDR + noise-reduction, can do RAW photos, capable of up to 4K video @60fps & 1080p up to 240fps, capable of Night Lapse video, HyperSmooth stabilization is even better, LiveBurst, custom presets, 8x slow-motion, 3-mics on board, and waterproof up to 33ft.
GoPro made sure to add new Mods to kind of rig your new GoPro up w/ an external light, external monitor, and a Media mod for 2.5mm + 3.5mm audio jacks, HDMI out, & shotgun mic.
This new camera is the new GoPro Max. This is more of a versatile camera as it acts as a 3-in-1 shooter: a Hero Camera, a 360 camera, and vlogging camera all in one.
