GoPro HERO5 (CHDHX-501)

The fifth "hero" from GoPro has been updated both externally and internally: the camcorder for active shooting has received a more rounded rubberized body and acquired an electronic image stabilization system, previously unavailable in the lineup of a trendsetter in the production of action cameras.

security

The redesigned body of the model has dust and water protection according to the IPX8 standard, withstanding diving under water to a depth of 10 m. Perhaps that is why the manufacturer decided not to include an underwater box in the delivery package, which simultaneously acts as a protection for the camera from shock. In which case it can be purchased separately.

Control

The action camera is controlled both using a 2-inch touch screen located on the back of the case, and via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless networks. And if you can’t free your hands, voice commands will come to the rescue — out of the box, the camcorder supports 7 language packs.

filming

The action camera's belonging to the top segment is fully confirmed by its video capabilities. A 1/2.3-inch 12MP sensor is responsible for the sharp, clear and rich picture, which allows you to shoot video in 4K resolution at up to 30 fps or FullHD at a recording speed of up to 120 fps. To get a wider dynamic range, you can activate the WDR function (similar to HDR for photos). By the way, photos are recorded on a memory card in JPG or RAW formats.

fashion trends

Modern fashion trends have embodied in the use of USB Type-C for charging. The battery capacity has also grown (up to 1220 mAh), on a single charge of which the action camera is able to record about 2 hours of video in FullHD resolution or 1 hour in 4K shooting format. However the included GPS module tends to eat up battery power and reduce the duration of video recording.

Functionality

GoPro HERO 5 lets you capture moments of outdoor activities or extreme sports in ultra-high resolution with high detail and smooth video footage. And the camcorder's excellent functionality makes it one of the most competitive models on the active camera market.
