Features

The Latest Affordable, High-Performance GoPro

After a long wait, the new budget-friendly HERO (2024) has arrived. As GoPro’s technology has advanced, prices have also risen, but the HERO (2024) is priced at a relatively affordable $199. This makes it about half the price of the HERO Black series, a great point for first-time GoPro users or those looking for a camera for light use.

A Mid-Sized GoPro Between the Black and Mini Models for Easy Use

The standard HERO series has been a subtle favorite among budget-conscious users. While previous versions of the HERO have often shared the same body design as higher-end models with reduced features, the HERO (2024) sports an entirely new body design.

Weighing just 86g, the HERO (2024) comes with a built-in battery and rear display, combining the convenience of the HERO11 Black Mini with the ease of shooting typically found in the HERO Black series.

Budget-Level Video and Stabilization Features

On the flip side, its video recording capabilities max out at 4K/30fps, which is quite modest compared to recent GoPro models. Additionally, stabilization is applied post-shooting through the Quik app, rather than being hardware-based, which further highlights its budget nature as an action camera.

That said, for light users looking to record travel memories, family videos, or even use it as a dashcam, the HERO (2024) offers more than enough features to get the job done.
