PRESS RELEASE
Today, GoPro is introducing HERO8 Black, Mods and Max—and redefining what’s possible with a camera. For more information and the full announcement, please check out our news page The Inside Line.
HERO8 Black
HERO8 Black sends it big with next-level HyperSmooth 2.0 video stabilization—dramatically improved stabilization over HyperSmooth 1.0 (if you can believe that!). HyperSmooth 2.0 works in all resolutions and frame rates, features a new Boost mode and has 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 easily select a field of view, improved audio with enhanced wind suppression, customizable mode presets and a lighter, frameless design featuring folding mounting fingers. Shazam!
The Streamlined Design and frameless mounting with built-in folding mounting fingers mean the camera is more pocketable and 14% lighter. The frameless design also makes changing batteries and SD cards even faster; plus, the lens is now 2x more impact resistant. For additional protection, Tempered Glass Lens & Screen Protectors are available.
Mods
The Media Mod, Display Mod and Light Mod are modular accessories that deck HERO8 Black out with professional-grade audio, a front-facing display and enhanced lighting. For those seeking the additional performance, Mods enable users to transform their HERO8 Black into a production powerhouse.
Max
GoPro 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, 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. Max also features four digital lenses, including the new ultra-wide Max SuperView—GoPro’s widest field of view ever. Additional updates include in-camera 360 video and photo stitching plus 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 … errr...Max!
