GoPro's founder and CEO, Nicholas
Woodman, introduced a new line of HERO5 cameras, cloud-based
software, and drone, Karma, to international press at the base of
Squaw Valley, CA, near Lake Tahoe.
The event was broadcast live and can be seen HERE.
"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."
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 stabilization 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,
