Our take on the GoPro Hero Compact Waterproof Action Camera 50 In 1

The GoPro Hero is the entry-level model in GoPro's action camera line. It is waterproof to 16 feet without a housing, weighs about 3 ounces, and has a touchscreen and Wi-Fi for phone control. It shoots 1080p and 1440p video and 12MP photos, well below the 5.3K and 27MP of the Hero12 Black, but it is far simpler and cheaper. It suits casual users, kids and first-time action-cam buyers who want a rugged GoPro without the flagship price.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the Hero as a solid starter GoPro: easy to use, genuinely waterproof and tough for the money. Reviewers note the missing 4K and weak stabilization, and say it is best for daylight clips rather than serious filmmaking.

What people mention
  • Video qualityMixedFine in bright daylight, but soft and noisy in dim light.
  • StabilizationCriticisedNo HyperSmooth, so handheld and bike footage looks shaky.
  • WaterproofingPraisedOwners take it in the pool and sea without a case and it holds up.
  • Ease of usePraisedThe touchscreen and Quik app make setup and sharing quick for beginners.
  • BatteryCriticisedContinuous shooting drains the battery fast; spares are recommended.

Questions and answers

Is the GoPro Hero worth it over a phone?
If you need something waterproof, mountable and tough, yes. A phone beats it on stabilization and low light but not on durability in water and on mounts.
Does it shoot 4K?
No. It records up to 1440p at 60fps and 1080p. For 4K and 5.3K you need a Hero Black model.
Is it waterproof without a case?
Yes, it is rated waterproof to 16 feet (5m) without a housing. Rinse it with fresh water after saltwater use.
Does it have image stabilization?
It has basic electronic stabilization, not GoPro's HyperSmooth. Expect some shake in fast action or low light.
What comes in the box?
The camera, one battery, a curved adhesive mount, a mounting buckle and a USB-C cable. No microSD card is included.
Can I use it as a webcam?
Yes, it can work as a webcam over USB with GoPro's software, though resolution is limited.
