GoPro’s Hero 9 Black might include a color front screen for vloggers

[ad_1] It’s not certain when the Hero 9 Black will ship or how much it will cost, provided the leak is accurate. GoPro has timed recent launches for late summer or early fall, however, so it may just be a matter of weeks before a new model arrives. This could be a particularly important launch. […]

GoPro Labs gives users access to experimental features

[ad_1] “These features may never make it to a camera release, but they’re cool enough and cooked enough to give you a taste,” GoPro wrote. GoPro acquired ReelSteady in March. The software gained notoriety with the drone crowd, which used it to better smooth out their flight videos. Now, the GoPro Labs firmware optimizes the […]

GoPro lays off 200 employees as sales hit hard by coronavirus

[ad_1] GoPro has announced that it will lay off 200 employees or around 20 percent of its workforce due to the coronavirus pandemic.

GoPro’s Media Mod is an upgrade for vloggers on the go

[ad_1] If you ever used GoPro’s Karma grip, the Media Mod will give you deja-vu. Aesthetically, it’s similar to the part that housed the camera. Including the fact you’ll have to remove the GoPro’s battery cover to connect to the USB-C port. That makes sense, but it also means you don’t have easy access to […]

GoPro Karma drones are unable to fly due to a possible GPS flaw

[ad_1] The company told Engadget that “engineering is actively troubleshooting” the problem, but didn’t have more to share. This might be a product of the GPS rollover flaw that has affected numerous devices. Some hardware will reset its GPS date when the associated clock hits 1,024 weeks, throwing off timing and thus location-finding abilities. GoPro […]

GoPro’s first Hero 8 Black ‘mod’ is a light for vloggers

[ad_1] The first to make it out the gate is not the Media Mod (which I am particularly eager to try). Instead, it’s the $50 Light Mod. It might not be quite as exciting as the Media Mod with its built-in shotgun mic, or the LCD Display Mod, but it does give us a (well-illuminated) […]

Can DJI compete against GoPro in the action camera arena?

How GoPro makes you want a GoPro

[ad_1] It’s mid-July, and GoPro is shooting its promo for the Hero 8 Black camera that will launch a few months later (that’s today). I was offered a behind-the-scenes look at how the company shoots its most important video of the year, the one it hopes will inspire millions of people to pay $399 for […]
