GoPro Hero 5 Black & Hero 5 Session

The long awaited upgrade to the Hero 4 is finally here! GoPro's founder and CEO, Nicholas Woodman, introduced a new line of HERO5 cameras, cloud-based software, a stabiliser mount and Karma drone to international press at the base of Squaw Valley, CA. I love the fact without the waterproof case its 3 microphones will pick up better quality sound than previous models that needed the waterproof case.

"With these new products, we're delivering on our promise to make it easy to capture and share engaging stories," said Woodman. "HERO5's ability to auto-upload photos and videos to a GoPro Plus account dramatically simplifies mobile, on-the-go editing, sharing and enjoyment. This is a game-changing experience that we will continue to build upon." Product video:

Woodman adds, "We're stoked to launch Karma and show how much more it is than a drone. Karma packs Hollywood-caliber aerial, handheld and gear-mounted image stabilisation into a backpack for $799. It's so easy to use, a beginner can have fun straight away."In addition to significant gains in performance and convenience, GoPro's all-new HERO5 line of cameras can auto-upload photos and videos to GoPro Plus, a cloud-based subscription service that makes it easy to access, edit and share GoPro content anytime, anywhere using a phone or computer.
