GoPro Hero+ LCD delivers stunning Full HD video recording and 8MP photos as well as seamless content sharing.
Design and Touch Display
GoPro Hero+ LCD doesn’t appear much different from last year’s Hero. It comes in the same dark gray finish. However, it packs in an LCD touch panel – something that was exclusive to the impressive higher-end camera Hero4 Silver before now.
The built-in colour touchscreen allows you get a clearer idea of what your shots will look like so that you can tie up all loose ends before capturing. The touch display also enables you navigate through menus and control settings more comfortably using touch.
GoPro Hero+ LCD boasts same waterproofing (up to 40 metres) as the Hero4 Silver, but comes with a non-removable housing.
Improved Capturing
Video capturing has been enhanced on GoPro Hero+ LCD, compared to the original Hero. It records Full HD (1080p) videos 10 up to 60 frames per second. Still shot shooting has also been improved to 8 megapixels, as against the Hero’s 5 megapixels.
A Time Lapse mode enables users to capture pictures at set time intervals ranging from 0.5 to 60 seconds. Five shots can be taken in just one second in Burst mode! Superview, QuikCapture and Auto Low Light modes further helps to guarantee professional shots.
