hero5

We were able to squeeze in a bit of alone time with GoPro's newest and top of the line action camera -- the Hero5 Black. One of the key features of the GoPro action camera is its portability and it still hasn't changed for the Hero5. In fact, since it no longer needs a separate, bulky case, the camera is now more compact to hold and carry around as it could even slip into a pocket with no fuss (yes, we pocketed the Hero5 and gave it back shortly after). Even with the frame protecting the edges of the Hero5, it still isn't as beefy as the previous Hero devices with their waterproof housing. There's another button at the right side which slides through the available modes, and since the attached display is touch-sensitive, the Hero5 is simpler to operate with its 1-button setup. Yes, it is, but it has a different form factor than the Hero 4 Black -- meaning you wouldn't be able to use those batteries for the new Hero5. Quick comparo of specs and main features of the Hero5 with its previous iteration: [table id=251 /] The GoPro Hero5 Black retails for Php21,990 and is available through Dan's and Moduvi which are the exclusive distributors of GoPro in the Philippines.
