Gopro Hero6 Black

GoPro’s best, most powerful action camera ever

- Phil Hall & Matt Swider

The new GoPro Hero6 Black can capture super-slow-motion video at a high resolution, output a stabilised image in 4K, and transfer everything to your phone at fast speeds.

The biggest update is the arrival of the GP1 processor. This allows the Hero6 Black to offer 4K video capture at a smooth 60fps. It can also capture 1080p Full HD footage at 240fps. Between these extremes, it’s possible to shoot 2.7K footage at 120fps.

GoPro hasn’t just concentrated on boosting its frame rate. Thanks to the GP1 processing engine, it’s possible to have image stabilisation active while shooting 4K footage. Stabilisation is capped at 30fps (for 4K), but it’s available at up to 120fps at Full HD. The Hero6 Black can capture 12MP images in single, burst and time-lapse modes, and there’s a new built-in HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode for high-contrast scenes.
