SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc.
(NASDAQ: GPRO) today announced its new product lineup including its
$399 flagship, HERO7 Black, which
sets a new bar for video stabilization with its standout feature,
HyperSmooth.
HyperSmooth is the best in-camera video stabilization ever
featured in a camera. It makes it easy to capture
professional-looking, gimbal-like stabilized video without the
expense or hassle of a motorized gimbal. And HyperSmooth works
underwater and in high-shock and wind situations where gimbals
fail. HERO7 Black with HyperSmooth video stabilization – you've got
to see it to believe it.
With HERO7 Black, GoPro is also introducing a radical new form
of video called TimeWarp. TimeWarp Video applies a high-speed,
'magic-carpet-ride' effect to your videos. Imagine a scenic drive,
ocean dive or walk through the city compressed into a
super-stabilized, sped-up version of itself, with the entire
experience playing out in seconds. TimeWarp Video transforms longer
experiences into short, flowing videos that are compelling to watch
and easy to share.
And when it comes to sharing, there's no faster way to do it
than live. HERO7 Black is the first GoPro to live stream, enabling
users to automatically share in real time to Facebook, Twitch,
YouTube, Vimeo and other platforms internationally. The result is
an exciting and convenient way to share life's more interesting,
on-the-go moments.
"HERO7 Black is the GoPro we've all been waiting for," said
GoPro founder, Nick Woodman. "With
HyperSmooth video stabilization, HERO7 Black is a camera anyone can
use to capture amazingly smooth, professional looking shots of
their favorite activities. And they can do it live."
