GoPro HERO+ (Wi-Fi Enabled)

HERO+ captures immersive 1080p60 video and 8MP photos and features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for connecting to the GoPro App and Smart Remote. The GoPro App lets you control your camera remotely, preview shots, play back content and create short video clips for easy sharing. Waterproof to 131’ (40m) and packed with user-friendly camera modes, HERO+ is the perfect entry-level GoPro for those who want high-quality capture and on-the-go connectivity.

This is my first "proper" Amazon review as I feel this product truly merits it. I not only like this product, I love it, and find myself looking for possible uses for it beyond the security setup I have planned (explained below)

To save readers time, I've attached a single frame snap & sped up video of a dash-cam setup, more on par with real world usage. I used one of the two 3M VHB backed mounts to mount it on my car's dashboard. The other mount is curved, would conform to a helmet.

Comes out of the box waterproof with an additional back backing for optimal voice & sound in wind under 100mph. No microSD card included, so grab the $199 Amazon bundle while you can which includes a 32G high speed microSD card.

In addition to the video attached, I've added a frame snap, as I took it at full 1080p HD. You will see GoPro's wide angle quality, what merited this review alone. I recorded myself driving back home at night as a test, excuse the darkness, the snapshot will give you an idea of a snap from the 60fps 1080p HD video recorded. I was shocked to see I drove up to 7-11 and could literally make out the cashier counting money at the register later on. Full review and context follows below.


User Experience :

I'm writing this review as a fairly new user of GoPro products. I've tested the hero, hero+ LCD, and hero 4 session. Of the four, I only kept the hero 4 session for its form factor.

A few key features/benefits of the Hero+ are:
- Price Point
At $200, you get WiFi and Bluetooth. Those were the only real features missing on the every level Hero.
- WiFi and Bluetooth
As a new user, having a way to frame each shoot is important. All without having to buy the expensive $400 hero+ LCD model!
- Instant Sharing with App
It's the main reason why we record our activities. Now it's possible to share some it without hooking it up to a computer.
-Simplified UI
Single press Record and hold for Burst. It's not anything new with gopro, but I still find it super easy to use compared to China knockoffs.
- (edited: no image stabilizer)
- Auto low light captures better video, (gopro standard)

In short, this is the best entry model GoPro. It's a clear upgrade from the original entry level Hero for an extra ~$70 and you get wifi. And with wifi, you get everything.
If you're considering your first action camera, go GoPro. Go Hero+.
