In the last couple of years we’ve seen a steady stream on GoPro copycats and to be honest some of them are as good if not better than the GoPro Hero4, so with the GoPro Hero5 it’s good to see that the new cameras build is significantly different to the cameras that have been before, and you can see that the product designers have really gone to town on the design.įollowing on from the original Session the new camera loses the bulky waterproof housing and instead fits inside a skeleton caddy that features the usual GoPro mount on the base. Starting with the camera it instantly feels like a step-up in class over the Hero4, the build and feel is far more solid and although the GoPro Hero4 felt like a quality camera the Hero5 is in a completely different league.

However these values and the GoPro mount are all the remains of the old style GoPro everything else from here on in is new.
These specifications are essentially the reason for GoPro, to shoot video and the odd still at the best possible quality for the size and style of the camera. The camera is still rated at 12 million pixels and still has a good selection of modes including burst and time-lapse.
#GOPRO HERO 4 THE FRAME VS SKELETON HOUSING 1080P#
We still have a top resolution of 4K at 30fps, 2.7k at 60fps, 1080p at 120fps and WVGA at 240fps, and ProTune is still there for the video pros. Taking a quick look through the specs you can see that actually it seems that very little has changed between the Hero4 and 5, especially when it comes to video resolution and frame rates. The Hero5 is a very different camera to the first four iterations of the Hero, the biggest change is of course that it loses the waterproof housing, but really side-by-side, compared to the Hero4 you can instantly see that this is a product that has grown-up. The GoPro Hero5 Black has arrived, and although I’ve been able to check out the camera briefly over the last few weeks, this is the first time worried friends haven’t quickly recalled their new and prized possession.
