GoPro hasn't had an easy few months; since the release of the Karma system and Hero5 cameras, the company has taken hit after hit in the media and the stock market. But today they announced something a bit more upbeat: they are now officially selling the Karma Grip stabilizer by itself.
If you're one of the unlucky people who purchased a GoPro Karma drone only to have to send it right back because it might fall out of the sky, there's a silver lining to your annoying predicament: GoPro is offering you a free Hero5 for your trouble.
If the GoPro Hero5 Black and the GoPro Karma are a bit too rich for your blood—or you just don't think you're extreme enough for these cameras—the Hero5 Session might just be the perfect GoPro for your less-than-insane lifestyle.
GoPro is calling the new Hero 5 Black "Simply the best GoPro, ever." They're not wrong. Waterproof to 33ft out of the box and featuring 4K video, stabilization, voice commands, and more, the Hero 5 Black is a lot of action camera for $400.
Some photos of and a user manual for the upcoming GoPro Hero 5 have allegedly leaked online, showing a camera that looks like a hybrid between the Hero 4 and Hero Session cameras, will focus heavily on GoPro's upcoming cloud service 'GoPro Plus,' and may feature voice commands.
It's not glamorous, but the first glimpse we get of the long-awaited GoPro Hero 5 may be this super short how-to video that shows you how to connect the unreleased action cam to your smartphone. Still, even at just 9 seconds, there's plenty to be gleaned by this "sneak peek."
