GoPro just officially unveiled the Hero 6 Black at an event in San Francisco, and it will
be on store shelves this afternoon around North America. It carries the same exterior design over from the Hero 5, waterproofing included, with the highlight features being increased frame rates, better overall image quality and speed, thanks to a new and custom processor. That improvement will come at a steep price: the company’s newest flagship camera will retail for $499, a hundred bucks more than its predecessor.
Weeks of retail store and website leaks mean we knew a lot about the camera coming into the event today, but now we have those specs confirmed, and we see the rest of the puzzle pieces. The big advancement is the ability to shoot 4K footage at 60 frames per second. GoPros have shot in 4K for a few generations now, but athletes and professional users have long clamored for a higher frame rate. Higher frame rates offer a smoother look that can be nice in the right setting. More importantly, they make it possible to create slow-motion footage. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/9/28/16373978/gopro-hero-6-black-4k-video-60-fps-available-now
