Photography enthusiasts got the first glimpse of the GoPro Hero 7 after images of the successor of GoPro Cameras were divulged via a store display.
The GoPro Hero 7, which is set to be unwrapped this September, will allegedly come in three colors such as black, silver, and white. In addition, the camera will seemingly feature an enhanced gimbal-like image stabilization as well as a waterproof depth with a range of up to 33 feet.
It is worth noting that a couple of the GoPro Hero 7 models seem to appear without a front screen, which is resonant to the Hero 4 version. It can be brought to mind that the Hero 4 silver version was released without the screen.
The device itself looks to be approximately the same dimension and design as the Hero 6 version, which was announced around this time last year. The Hero 6 exhibited video competencies up to 4K video at the rate of 60 frames per second.
Important Device For GoPro
Industry analysts believe that the upcoming camera model will be a very important device for the company moving ahead. Engadget noted that the GoPro Hero 7 will assume a critical role in keeping people involved in an era wherein many people take videos using smartphones and drones. It can be recalled that GoPro has had a couple of fuzzy years after it sliced its camera lineup to three models in 2016 in the hopes of reducing costs to launch the Hero 6 and the GoPro Fusion.
The GoPro Fusion 360 camera, which was priced at $699, featured two lenses that had the ability to capture a 5.2K video at the rate of 30 frames per second and 18-megapixel spherical images. Additionally, the device had a waterproof depth of up to 16 feet and functions well with most GoPro mounts.
Earlier this year, GoPro introduced an entry-level camera known as Hero, which costs $199. The Hero, which had a custom-built GP1 processor, was also GoPro's first budget release in a span of two years. Hero's release came after the company decided to end its drone division after its Karma drone received run-of-the-mill reviews, a major product recall, and layoffs.
Just this year, rumors about the company considering a partnership or a buyout circulated in the industry but nothing panned out. Apart from producing cameras, GoPro has also resorted to other sources of income as they began licensing its camera advancements to competitors.
