GoPro has announced a new product that is neither drone nor camera, but rather an accessory that would be useful in a variety of situations: the Zeus Mini. This model features 10 LED lights and a magnetic swiveling clip, enabling users to mount it for light while shooting with a camera or use it as an accessory in other situations. The Zeus Mini is compatible with existing GoPro mounts.
GoPro's Karma drone has never been a massive hit as far as consumer drones are concerned, but its model is owned by a number of enthusiasts...ones who have been unable to fly their drones since around the beginning of the month. The issue is due to some bug that has finally been identified by GoPro and fixed in a newly released firmware update. The problem, according to the company, had to do with the arrival of the new decade.
GoPro has introduced Light Mod, a new lighting accessory for the HERO8 Black action camera. The mod is essentially a removable flash that sits on top of the camera in the same way a flash would use the hot shoe on a mirrorless or DSLR model. The company introduced the Light Mod too close to the holidays to get in time for Christmas, but the model is now shipping in the US.
The GoPro HERO8 Black isn't the only new model from the action camera company today, with the GoPro MAX rebooting the 360-degree video idea first tried with the GoPro Fusion. Two cameras, one on each side, allow the GoPro MAX to both shoot 360 and regular HERO-style video and photos, as well as power what GoPro is calling "unbreakable stabilization."
There's a new action camera in town, with the GoPro HERO8 Black arriving with the company's second-generation HyperSmooth 2.0 stabilization and new GoPro Mods. GoPro has also added an integrated mount, so that you no longer need a frame in order to attach the camera to a bracket or similar.
The GoPro Hero8 Black has leaked out again, and this time, we're learning of some accessories to go along with it. Not only does this latest leak give us more information about Hero8 Black itself, but it also shows us two useful accessories for the action camera: an LED lamp and what is essentially a life jacket that fits over the Hero8 Black.
There may now be many action cameras littering the market, especially cheap knockoffs, but the one that can be credited for having started them all is GoPro. It has quite the work ahead of it in terms of regaining its market share. Its next attempt has just been spotted in a few places on the Internet and details about the GoPro Hero8 as well as a GoPro Max are now leaking to whet the appetites of fans.
Action camera company GoPro has updated its mobile app with a new user interface, as well as an integration of the Quik video editing app and select other changes. These offerings are powered by a new software engine, according to the company, which says today's update is the first in 'a series' of planned app updates that'll unify camera control and content editing.
Chinese drone company DJI is developing its own action camera, according to a new leak, one that will allegedly compete with GoPro's flagship HERO models. The camera is expected to be based on the company's existing OSMO Pocket super-wide handheld camera, and one image has leaked showing what the model may look like. DJI has not confirmed the camera's existence, however.
GoPro has revealed a limited-edition version of its HERO 7 Black action camera, and it comes in Dusk White. This new color option is a pleasant deviation from the company's typical camera design, though it may be difficult to find if dropped in snow. The limited-edition Dusk White model features a mostly white color design, though the lens housing remains dark.
GoPro has announced a big change for its Plus subscribers: unlimited cloud storage. Even better, this new perk stores photos and videos in their original, full resolution, meaning users don't have to choose between paying for a storage plan or settling for lower quality. In addition to its cloud storage change, GoPro is also offering its Plus subscribers big discounts on accessories.
GoPro has released a new public beta firmware update for its Fusion camera, enabling a 5.8K capture resolution resulting in 5.6K spherical footage. According to GoPro, the new support results in the most "cinematic quality" produced by the Fusion camera to date, something made even better by support for recording at 24fps.
