SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc.
(NASDAQ: GPRO) this week introduced HERO8 Black and its
performance-expanding Mods, along with MAX, the company's new
dual-lens camera that's so versatile it's like having three cameras
in one.
"It's been 15 years since the first GoPro camera, and from the
start our purpose has been to help people share experiences in
exciting ways," said GoPro Founder and CEO Nick Woodman. "And we're delivering on that
purpose in a big way with this year's new lineup. HERO8 Black, the
Mods and MAX totally redefine what's possible with a camera."
Here's a quick overview:
$399 HERO8
Black
HERO8 Black sends it big with
next-level HyperSmooth 2.0 video stabilization—featuring
dramatically improved stabilization
over HyperSmooth 1.0. HyperSmooth 2.0 benefits
from significantly improved baseline performance and now works in
all resolutions and frame rates. It also features a new
Boost mode, plus in-app horizon leveling. Also
new, TimeWarp 2.0 features automatic rate adjustment and
tap-control speed ramping. HERO8 Black sports four digital
lenses to make it easy to choose a desired field of view,
improved audio performance with enhanced wind suppression, new
customizable mode presets and a 14% lighter, frameless design that
features folding mounting fingers for improved simplicity and
convenience. Waterproof (33' / 5m)
and durable, HERO8 Black delivers everything you've come to expect
from a flagship HERO camera, and more.
$79.99 - $49.99 Mods
The Media Mod, Display Mod and
Light Mod are modular accessories that enable users to enhance the
performance of their HERO8 Black.
The Media Mod ($79.99) is an add-on frame for HERO8
Black that provides professional-grade shotgun-mic
performance, two cold shoe mounts plus I/O support including a
3.5mm external mic port, HDMI and USB Type-C ports.
The Display Mod ($79.99) is a folding,
1.9" front-facing display that attaches to the Media Mod to
make framing easy when vlogging and using HERO8 Black as a selfie
camera. When not in use, the Display Mod can fold down and out of
the way, functioning as a rear-facing display.
The Light Mod ($49.99) is a waterproof (33' /
10m), rechargeable LED light that can
attach to the Media Mod or any GoPro mount to provide enhanced
lighting in low light settings. Given its versatility, the Light
Mod very well may be the world's most versatile light.
For those seeking expanded performance, Mods enable users to
transform their HERO8 Black into a production powerhouse.
$499
MAX
MAX is a dual-lens
GoPro camera that maxes out on versatility—it's like
having three cameras in one. Use MAX as a waterproof (16' /
5m), maximum-stabilized single-lens
HERO camera, dual-lens 360 camera or next-level vlogging camera
with its built-in front-facing display and shotgun-mic
audio capabilities. No matter how you use it, MAX delivers
next-level, unbreakable video stabilization with
Max HyperSmooth — GoPro's highest performance stabilization,
ever. MAX also features four digital lenses, including the new
ultra-wide Max SuperView—GoPro's widest
field of view, ever. Additional features include
in-camera 360 video and photo stitching plus ultra quick and
convenient keyframe-based editing of 360 content in the
GoPro app. GoPro MAX is like no other camera in the
world—perfect for innovative users looking to take their creativity
to the MAX!
GoPro's New Four-Camera Lineup

feedback from its customers, GoPro is delivering its most
impressive lineup, ever:
$499 MAX — the
ultimate tool for those looking for the maximum in creative
freedom. It's like having three cameras in one.

entry level GoPro.
"This year's lineup offers the right level of performance and
value at each price point," said Nick
Woodman. "Our customers have made it clear what they want to
see from us across the range, and this year we're delivering with
each and every product we make."
The Updated GoPro App

the goodness of the award-winning Quik video
editing app is now built right into the GoPro app. The
GoPro app also supports both GoPro and phone content in edits, and

new themes inspired by iconic GoPro videos created by the company's
