In this article, I will tell about the new Gopro Hero5 series of sports cameras, including the flagship Hero5 Black and Hero5 Session, which has a compact and portable body. It is worth mentioning that both feature 4K/30fps video recording capabilities. Most importantly, GoPro also joined voice control and cloud storage for the first time.

GoPro Hero5 Black Specifications:

It comes with a 12 MP image sensor and a 2-inch touch screen;

Support 4K/30fps video recording and RAW/WDR photo format;

Electronic video stability system, stereo microphone;

10 meter waterproof capacity;

GPS support.

Hero5 Session Specifications:

It comes with a 10MP image sensor;

Support 4K/30fps video recording;

Electronic video stability system;

Waterproof capacity of 10 meters.

All GoPro Hero5 series action cameras support voice control (currently supports seven languages, including Chinese). And when you upload the camera, it will automatically upload the photos and videos you take to the cloud.

Compared to the regular launch product line of sports cameras, the official debut of the Karma RC drone opens a new journey of GoPro. By the way, GoPro sports cameras (Hero4 and its improved models) go perfectly with the Karma RC drone. And this becomes the obvious advantage if you enter the UAV market. If you like to shoot FPV, you can give it a try.

GoPro Karma is the foldable RC drone that you can put in your backpack. In addition, the complementary control handle and the removable anti-vibration gimbal can be combined into the stable handheld gimbal. Depending on the remote controller equipped with a touch screen, users can view and control the UAV’s flight and aerial conditions in real time.

Karma is the Quadcopter, which reserves the place on its head to place the camera lens (external camera fixed gimbal), instead of placing the camera lens at the bottom of the fuselage. This different unique design is disputed by some players. They wonder if the experience collides with an accident, then it is likely to cause damage to the camera and PTZ.

In addition, Karma’s maximum flight speed is 56 km per hour and the control distance is 1 kilometer. Except for that, it is built in a 5100 mA battery with a duration of about 20 minutes.

As for me, I am looking forward to the release of the GoPro Hero5 series action cameras and the Karma RC drone. And I think all of them will raise a hot topic. If you are interested, you can stay tuned for news.
