Everthing about GoPro Cameras

GoPro is an American corporation that develops, manufactures and markets high-definition action camcorders. Founded in the year 2002.

Reason behind the name GoPro

Nick Woodman was motivated by a surfing trip to Australia, in which he was hoping to capture quality action photos, but could not due to amateur photographers could not get close enough or to purchase superiority equipment at reasonable prices. His aspiration for a camera system that could capture the professional angles motivated the name ‘GoPro’.

Usage

It is often used in extreme action video photography. These are compact, light weight, rugged and or wearable or mountable on vehicles. Cameras capture still photos or videos in HD through a wide angle lens. You can also configure the degree of remote control or intervention required.

GoPro acquired Cine-Form. Achievement included Cine-Form video codec, used in the movie Slumdog Millionaire. It has appealed that the codec “makes HD and 3D editing quicker and more appropriate without foregoing image quality”. GoPro 35mm Hero is the first digital camera released by Woodman. As the technology forward-looking the performance of the GoPro is increasing day-by-day.

Hero Specifications

The newest cheap camera from the company is called Hero. GoPro makes out at 1080p resolution at 30fps, and if you want to shoot in 60fps, you can only do so at 720p resolution. Also, it only shoots 5-megapixel stills. It works with all of your existing GoPro mounts, remotes, and accessories, and like the other cameras from the company, it’s waterproof and tiny. It would make a great starter camera for a kid, a back-up camera for pros, or just an awesome POV camera for people who can’t spend as much.

GoPro Cameras help people capture and share their lives most significant understandings with others to rejoice them together. Like, how a day on the mountain with friends is more meaningful than one spend alone.

Now, let me take you to the products of GoPro cameras:

ü        GoPro HERO 32mm, it’s a all-season Sports Camera: It was described as a "reusable wrist camera" and included a roll of 24 exposure Kodak 400 film

ü       Digital HERO 3: A 3-megapixel camera and shot standard definition 512 × 384 video

ü       Digital HERO5: Marketed as the Hero Motorsport Wide and can capture still photos with 5MP, supported with 512*384 video capturing capacity. Runs on two AAA batteries of 16MB internal memory and could function with a 2GB of SD Card.

ü       HD HERO 960:  Shoots a maximum of 960p video

ü    HD HERO: Shoots a maximum of 1080p video on its 5Mp sensor

ü     HD HERO2:  It has an 11 MP image sensor, improved low-light capability and records at up to 120 frames per second

ü     HERO3: These new cameras came in three editions: black, silver and white. Hero3 Silver and Black cameras have significantly less battery endurance than the Hero1 and Hero2. The Black Edition has a new 12 MP sensor that can capture 4K digital video at 15 fps, 2.7K video at 30 fps, 1440p at 48 fps, 1080p at 60fps, 960p at 100fps, 720p at 120 fps and WVGA at 240 fps. The Silver Edition uses the same 11 MP sensor as the Hero2, and the White edition uses the same 5 MP sensor as the HD Hero1.

ü         HD HERO3+: It is available in Black and Silver Editions, which replaced the HERO3 generation. The HERO3 White Edition remains as GoPro's low-end device. The Black Edition has video modes of 1440p48, 1080p60, 960p100 and 720p120 as well as 4K15 and 2.7K30 and can shoot 12MP stills at up to 30 frames per second. The Silver Edition has video modes of 1080p60 and 720p120 and can shoot 10MP stills at up to 10 frames per second. 

ü        HERO4: Available in Black Edition and Silver Edition, which replace their respective HERO3+ generation predecessors. The HERO4 Black Edition still has a 12mp CMOS and a f/2.8 fixed maximum aperture. It adds Bluetooth connectivity.

Possibly one of the most thrilling improvements on both the Hero4 Black and Hero4 Silver GoPro’s is their presentation in low-light circumstances. Though, a DSLR or attired compact system camera still overtakes the GoPro for handheld photos at night, the GoPro has great budding for striking long introduction shots when left on a tripod.

By making more options available, GoPro is hoping to convince a wider range of prospective of camera owner from soccer moms to professional filmmakers to fastening a GoPro onto a helmet, a dog, a guitar, or whatever else might hold the Tic-Tac-box sized camera.

It is now currently developing a Drone, code-named as Karma, you can expect the release of this in October 2016. Recently GoPro announced three fresh action cameras, a drone, and a rather fascinating flotilla of fixtures. These include a handheld gimbal, remote combos/external microphone, and even a nifty of $19 adapter to rapidly sync your videos to your phone sans-battery.

And of course, these days it’s not higher frame rates at 4K that sells cameras. Rather, it’s simplicity and integration! It’s the ability to sync videos and have a quick and easy edits that you can share to Facebook, Instagram and other platforms with a single touch. And on these elements, GoPro seems to be working on the right path. With the Karma Drone sealing the deal for those wanting to get their nerds on.
