The GoPro 4K is smaller and lighter than the original GoPro and retains a few of the external features that users have become accustomed to, such as using a microSD card for storage, a removable lens cover in case the original breaks, the two buttons, and the built-in mounting fingers on the bottom of the camera.

GoPro has announced its latest devices – HERO13 Black and HERO – a brand new action camera duo that caters for all price points.

SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO) announced that its new $199 "4K'ing Tiny" camera, simply named "HERO", is now available on retail shelves around the world and for purchase online at GoPro.com .

One of the biggest complaints I hear about the GoPro action camera is that the price -- $400 -- is too steep. After all, you can pick up 4K action cameras for a fraction of that price. Sure, the output quality is no match for the GoPro, but for most, it's still good enough.

GoPro recently launched its flagship Hero13 Black and announced the Hero, a compact 4K camera. While the Hero13 Black was immediately available, the Hero has now gone on sale. It is designed to withstand harsh conditions and is waterproof up to 16 feet.
