They are also releasing a new mini camera called the HERO. HERO is their smallest 4K camera that features a rugged, super-light design, simplified control, and more. It has 35% less volume and 46% less mass than the HERO13 Black, but it’s still waterproof and compatible with 35 GoPro mounts and accessories. It captures 4K30, 1080p30 video, and 2.7K60 and 1080p60 slo-mo video, along with 12MP photos and 8MP photos from the video. The built-in battery lets us keep the HERO camera extra compact and lightweight.
