GOPRO HERO7 BLACK

ACTION cameras have their place in the world, which is why

GoPro continues to raise the bar with each subsequent release.

Its latest flagship model is the US$399 HERO7 Black, which offers HyperSmooth video stabilisation that will deliver far more than what is expected from an action camera. With HyperSmooth, it opens up the door for one to capture professional-looking, gimbal-like stabilised video without having to fork out additional money for a motorised gimbal. Not only that, HyperSmooth works equally well when underwater, as well as in high-shock and wind situations, giving it an advantage where a regular gimbal is unable to perform. In addition, the GoPro HERO7 Black is also the first model from the company that boasts of live stream capability, letting you share all that is happening in real time to various social media platforms.

Another new form of video that the HERO7 Black is able to deliver is the TimeWarp. TimeWarp Video will apply a high-speed, “magic-carpet-ride” effect to recorded videos, transforming longer experiences into a short, flowing video which is not only compelling to watch but also easy to share. The HERO7 Black is also smart enough to recognise faces, expressions and scene-types to enhance your shooting, while the availability of the Short Clips feature that restricts video recording to just 15- or 30-second clips makes it faster to transfer media to phone, while easing the pain of editing and sharing. Whether you are capturing 4K video at 60fps or 12MP photos, the HERO7 Black from GoPro is the action camera to purchase. www.gopro.com
