GoPro Hero review

 

For the past few years, while GoPro was dominating the upper end of the action cam market, it sort of neglected entry-level buyers who wanted the GoPro experience, losing them to other camera makers. That changes to some extent with the Hero.

The GoPro Hero offers very good video quality for the money, gets you into the large mount ecosystem and the integrated housing is waterproof to 131 feet (40 meters).

The camera is permanently in its polycarbonate housing; the battery is built-in; it doesn't have GoPro's port for adding a touchscreen or extra battery pack or Wi-Fi; very limited shooting options.

Though the GoPro Hero is nearly devoid of features, this entry point for GoPro's lineup is just enough to get you started in the world of little, mountable cameras.

GoPro Hero review

 

Meet the GoPro Hero, the entry level action cam from the camera company that's essentially defined the action cam space. While it doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the latest Hero4 Black, it's a much more price conscious effort at around £100,...

The GoPro Hero, well, looks like a GoPro. If you've seen one of the small cameras attached to a helmet, bicycle or selfie stick before, you know what you're in for: a rugged little snapper that you can place almost anywhere. Unlike many of its siblings...

As the budget, entry-level GoPro, the Hero's missing out on plenty of functionality its bigger brothers boast. For starters, the polycarbonate housing is not replaceable, meaning if it does get all bashed up, or you scratch the lens cover, you'll have...

While the GoPro Hero doesn't have all the fancy features of its bigger brothers, it's still a capable little camera, and it's well priced to get you started with the GoPro craze. If you're not looking for all the extra features the Hero4 packs in,...

Poor battery life. Did a Rough Runner run and it didn't last the 3 hours or so.

GoPro HERO Action Camcorder

 

Go pro at a great price. Records at 1080p 30fps or 720p 60fps. Also can take 5mp stills. Comes in waterproof case ad battery life is better than removable ones.

I was frustrated that it was sold as having wifi so to allow me to view live on my smartphone, and to allow me to edit whilst out. That said I couldn't take it back as I couldnt afford anything more expensive so had to settle with that anyway.

GoPro HERO Action Camcorder

 

Very easy too set up and use

A bit bulky and a rear view screen would be helpful in order to make sure camera angle is correct.
