One thing is for sure – if you’re out there putting your life and reputation on the line, you should be documenting the “crash and burn” of your rise to stardom. Today, we’ll be looking specifically at the GoPro HERO range of cameras and how these amazing little pieces of trickery can be used for whatever senseless idea you’re able to think of.
GoPro originated in 2001 after a surfer named Nick Woodman decided to duck tape a camera to his hand in order to capture footage closer to the action. Since strapping a 35mm to your paw has its obvious limits, Nick headed back to his mom’s garage where he was staying at the time to find a more practical solution. Fast-forward a couple of years and you now have one of the handiest, must-have action cameras – the GoPro. It’s tough, durable, versatile and it works.
GoPro HERO10
You’ve probably heard of the Emmy Award winner for HyberSmooth video stabilisation action camera – the GoPro HERO10. It takes speed and quality to the next level.
It features a revolutionary new GP2 chip that captures 5.3K video with double the frame rate, 23MP photos and enhanced low-light performance in all modes. The moment you charge the device, it automatically uploads your footage to the cloud at 100% quality.
The HERO10 excels in livestreaming with features like HyperSmooth 4.0 stabilisation and sharp resolution that makes your vlogs stand out. You can also add the optionally Media Mod featuring a built-in directional mic to reduce wind and ambient noise.
