GoPro Teases Hero8 Announcement and More for October 1st

GoPro is preparing to announce a couple of new action cameras on October 1st, according to a teaser posted last week to the company’s social media accounts.

The teaser video doesn’t reveal much, but we do get a brief glimpse of the GoPro Hero8. Here’s a brightened screenshot of that short clip, which matches the leaks we’ve seen so far:

The official reveal is slated for October 1st at 9am Eastern, and there’s already a YouTube livestream scheduled that you can set a reminder to join.
