While the rest of the world still reels in disbelief over Enrique Iglesias’ run in with a DJI Inspire 1, GoPro has quietly announced the impending release of the HERO+ LCD camera.
The HERO+ LCD delivers 1080p60 video and 8MP photos, and, like the HERO4 Silver, features a touchscreen display. The LCD is an essential addition, as framing shots and navigating menus is far simpler. The new camera also touts built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® for connection to the GoPro App. The app allows shot preview, total camera control and content sharing to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and more from your phone or tablet.
The HERO+ LCD is waterproof to 131’ (40m), and features QuikCapture, a feature giving the camera the ability to power up and record at the press of a button. It also captures 1080p and 720p at 60 frames per second. GoPro staple features such as SuperView and Auto Low Light round out the feature set.
When it comes to time lapse, intervals can be set between 0.5 and 60 seconds. Burst mode allows the HERO+ LCD to shoot 5 photos per second.
The HERO+ LCD will be available in the US and Canada on June 7, 2015 for $299.99 USD.
