HERO is our smallest 4K camera that features a rugged, super-light design, simplified control and more. It is 35% less volume and 46% less mass than HERO13 Black, but it’s still waterproof and compatible with 35 GoPro mounts and accessories. It captures 4K30, 1080p30 video, and 2.7K60 and 1080p60 slo-mo video, along with 12MP photos and 8MP photos from video. NOTE: HERO is not compatible with HB-Series Lenses.

The built-in battery lets us keep the HERO camera extra compact and lightweight. Like many electronics with built-in batteries, we recommend you keep it charged—and consider plugging it in when it’s not in use. And like a smartphone, you may want to ‘top off’ the battery, or recharge it throughout the day when using it.

No! The HERO camera provides stabilization of your video automatically in the GoPro Quik app. If you watch a clip on the HERO camera’s display, it will appear without image stabilization applied. To see what your footage looks like with image stabilization, watch your content in the app. And if you want to use your footage in other apps like Adobe Premiere Pro, simply export the footage from the Quik app with the image stabilization applied, and it’s ready to go! Note: if you try to use footage directly in these apps without using Quik to export it, stabilization won’t be applied.
