GoPro HERO 5 black – Hands on Review
GoPro HERO 5 black was officially announced September 19th along with HERO 5 Session and HERO Session, accompanied by GoPro’s new Drone / Stabilizer Ecosystem Karma.This time HERO black (the only remaining) edition has an integrated 2″ touch screen to frame your shot, change settings, play back and trim your footage. In comparison HERO4 black didn’t have a LCD screen included, a LCD backpack is sold separately. Hero4 silver came with an integrated LCD screen, but the camera was not capable of 4K video resolution in 30fps.GoPro Hero 5 offers electronic image stabilization, which is possible for resolution 1080p up to 60fps. It is not available in 4K as some extract sensor space is required to stabilize the image. That’s similar to most other action cameras, only Sony’s FDR-X3000 offers video stabilization in 4K, but it is optically stabilized not electronically.Most users expected 4K in 60fps or a even higher resolution like 8K, but GoPro HERO 5 sticks with the same resolution as HERO 4 black. These rumors were coming up all the time, but I’m don’t think consumers would take advantage of these resolutions and can even process them. Currently I don’t know which sensor or processor is used. Due to the fact photo resolution is 12 MP a respective sensor seems to be used, but I guess a more advanced one compared to HERO 4 black’s 12 MP sensor.A new “linear” FOV mode removes the fisheye effect automatically.Let’s summarize: The new GoPro HERO 5 offers max. 4K resolution at 30fps. That’s the same as GoPro HERO 4 black. However it is waterproof without a case up to 10m and has an integrated 2″ touch screen. That’s new to a black edition as only GoPro HERO4 silver was equipped with an integrated display, but was not capable of 4K video recording in 30fps.
Many users were waiting for 4K recording at 60fps or even 8K recording. They may be disappointed with the offered resolutions, but I think GoPro did a great job to improve other features for better control, imaging & audio to make it the best camera they ever built.
