Shooting Performance and Features Differ
The shooting performance of the HERO (2024) and HERO6 Black is similar in specifications, but overall, the HERO6 Black is superior.
In terms of shooting performance, both models support a maximum resolution of 4K, but the HERO6 Black supports 4K at 60fps, while the HERO (2024) only supports 30fps. Both models can handle 2.7K at 60fps, but for Full HD, the HERO (2024) is limited to 30fps, whereas the HERO6 Black supports up to 240fps. This makes the HERO6 Black superior in terms of frame rate.
Additionally, in shooting features, the HERO6 Black outshines the HERO (2024). The most notable difference is image stabilization. While the HERO6 Black does not include HyperSmooth, it features standard built-in stabilization. On the other hand, the HERO (2024) relies on the QUIK app for post-processed stabilization. Furthermore, the HERO6 Black supports loop recording, which is not available on the HERO (2024).
Differences in Body Features
When it comes to body features, the HERO (2024) has the edge.
The most significant difference is the mounting mechanism. The HERO (2024) has a built-in, foldable mount, allowing it to attach directly to various accessories without a case. In contrast, the HERO6 Black requires a case to mount accessories.
Another notable difference is micro SD card capacity. The HERO (2024) supports up to 1TB, while the HERO6 Black is limited to 128GB. For shooting 4K videos, 128GB can run out quickly, making the 1TB support of the HERO (2024) a more practical option.
As for the front display, the HERO6 Black features a monochrome display. However, with the increased functionality available through the QUIK app, this difference is not as significant nowadays.
The HERO (2024) is Smaller and Lighter
In terms of size, the HERO (2024), positioned as a compact model, is slightly smaller and more than 30g lighter. Considering that the HERO6 Black requires a case, the weight difference becomes even more pronounced.
While the HERO6 Black excels in shooting specifications and features, the HERO (2024) is the better choice if portability and mounted weight are your priorities.
