GoPro introduces supersmooth video with the new HERO 7 Black

GoPro has officially announced their new HERO 7 lineup. Though the cheaper HERO 7 White & Silver will likely be very popular sellers, they are essentially repackaged versions of previous generations with a few small changes. The HERO 7 Black however, brings with it the best features and specs available in any action camera from GoPro or otherwise. Standout new features and specs include:

HyperSmooth video Stabilization
Live Streaming to Facebook, Youtube, etc
TimeWarp Video
12MP photos and new SuperPhoto mode
Enhanced audio recording
4k/60fps & 1080p/240fps video

According to the press release on GoPro’s website.

HyperSmooth is the best in-camera video stabilization ever featured in a camera. It makes it easy to capture professional-looking, gimbal-like stabilized video without the expense or hassle of a motorized gimbal. And HyperSmooth works underwater and in high-shock and wind situations where gimbals fail. HERO7 Black with HyperSmooth video stabilization – you’ve got to see it to believe it.

With HERO7 Black, GoPro is also introducing a radical new form of video called TimeWarp. TimeWarp Video applies a high-speed, ‘magic-carpet-ride’ effect to your videos. Imagine a scenic drive, ocean dive or walk through the city compressed into a super-stabilized, sped-up version of itself, with the entire experience playing out in seconds. TimeWarp Video transforms longer experiences into short, flowing videos that are compelling to watch and easy to share.

And when it comes to sharing, there’s no faster way to do it than live. HERO7 Black is the first GoPro to live stream, enabling users to automatically share in real time to Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, Vimeo and other platforms internationally. The result is an exciting and convenient way to share life’s more interesting, on-the-go moments.

“HERO7 Black is the GoPro we’ve all been waiting for,” said GoPro founder, Nick Woodman. “With HyperSmooth video stabilization, HERO7 Black is a camera anyone can use to capture amazingly smooth, professional looking shots of their favorite activities. And they can do it live.”

Availability

Sounds pretty exciting on paper we’ll have to wait and see how these new features perform in real world situations. The new GoPros including the HERO 7 Black are available for preorder today and will be available September 30.
