gopro hero+ lcd waterproof case manufacturer

HERO11 Black & HERO10 Black are rugged and waterproof right out of the box, but this housing handles anything you can throw at it. It protects from dirt and flying debris, and it’s waterproof down to 196ft (60m) for deep-water diving.

I heavily debated for months getting a cheap, Chinese knock off like the ones right here on Amazon you have probably scene with random names like "Chinaface" and "ODRVM" and "Apeman". Those prices ranged from $50-75 then i came across this Hero+ LCD e-commerce packaging one for $158. What is really strange is that this same modeled listed as "WIFI enabled" sell for over $200 and this product new is $300 but i called GoPro directly and they dont even sell it anymore just through Amazon or vendors.So i felt that was a good background for others researching heavily like i did. To the camera:Pros:- inexpensive- waterproof- awesome clear picture- It DOES NOT come with the backdoors - skeleton (for audio), the original waterproof one not touchdscreen and touchscreen for underwater but i called and they sent it to me for free because they don"t sell it anymore. It did come with the waterproof casing (people on here said it didnt though so it could be different)- small and lightweight- reputably USA brand (worst customer service ever though, thats below)Cons - there is actually alot but i would still recommend this camera- Customer Service - after playing around with it today i had a ton of questions, i spent 1 hour, 40 min waiting for customer service to pick up. I had two phones going with different options i selected. I finally spoke to this Indian guy, very tough to understand him, he put me on hold 2-3 times as he didnt know the answers then we got cut out but the line didnt hang up its like he pretended to just not be there. So i hung up and waiting 30 min then i called again. I then spent over 2 hours waiting!! I actually googled "awful GoPro customer service" then a ton of websites popped up of customers recently as of IN THE LAST 24 HOURS saying how awful they are and how long they waited. So i eventually talk to someone then i wanted to plan a call later today as i was busy and i knew i would have time later. So he said he would call in the next 2-3 hours later, he never did.- Camera doesnt include all back doors but i put it in Pros up top as well but i had to call and alot of people have said this product could be used but Amazon saying its new- The camera comes with GoPro quik - which is movies you only can make 60 secs and it selects random footage and pics which i dont like but it did make a cool random 60 sec videos- If you have a mac and use Movies/iMovie you will like it much better than GoPro studio or you can play around with it for a while and end up really liking it but i think Movies on Mac/iMovie is greatSo overall, i tried to include everything i could to help you on your researching journey of GoPro/other action cameras.* I attached two pictures to make it extra helpful for you to see the product**Please click "helpful" to spread this review and it also encourages me to write more reviews :)*** If you have any questions, i would glady help :)

Released in June of 2015, the GoPro Hero+ LCD is covered by a grey waterproof casing with the logos under the lens. The GoPro Hero+ has a latch on top of the device that removes the casing, and allows access to the touchscreen. This camera also has a built in mount and three buttons that allow the user to control the camera without opening the casing. The Hero+ LCD edition came with new additions to the GoPro line such as: built in Bluetooth, WiFi, LCD display, and a touchscreen. The Bluetooth allows the user to use one"s phone or tablet as a remote to have full control over the camera"s functions. After capturing the video or photo, WiFi allows the users to upload their work or art to social media. Please be aware that these capabilities can only be used if the GoPro App is downloaded onto a smartphone or tablet.

GoPro has introduced the Hero+ LCD camera, sharing many features with the entry-level Hero with the addition of a touchscreen. The Hero+ LCD is waterproof to depths up to 40m/131 ft, and adds both Bluetooth and integrated Wi-F with support for the Android and iOS GoPro App. Videos can be recorded at up to 1080p/60, and 8MP still image capture is offered.

The Hero+ LCD"s features include HiLight Tagging for marking notable moments while recording or playing back footage, as well as in-camera video trimming for rapid editing and sharing without the use of a computer. Content can be shared directly to Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Like the Hero, the Hero+ LCD offers a QuikCapture setting, allowing the user to power the device on and start recording with one button press. The battery allows for about two hours of recording per charge; microSD cards up to 64GB are supported.

The Hero+ LCD will launch in the United States at retailers and online on June 7 for $299.99 USD. The camera will then go on sale internationally on July 12.

SAN MATEO, CALIF. (June 1, 2015) – GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRO), enabler of some of today"s most immersive and engaging content, has announced the availability of its new HERO+ LCD camera. Capturing life-like high definition 1080p60 video and 8MP photos, the HERO+ LCD features a convenient touch display for easy shot framing, settings control and access to an all-new in-camera video trimming feature. Like the entry-level HERO, the HERO+ LCD is built directly into its waterproof housing. The simplicity of this all-in-one design now combines with expanded features to make capturing life’s memorable moments easier than ever.

Rugged and waterproof to 131’ (40m), HERO+ LCD also includes advanced features like HiLight Tagging and in-camera video trimming to make it easier to identify and share your favorite moments. HiLight Tagging lets you mark key moments while recording and during playback so you can easily find them later, and the all-new video trimming feature allows you to create short clips in-camera for easier sharing without a computer.

Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® connect the HERO+ LCD to your GoPro App-enabled smartphone or tablet for easy camera control and shot preview when your camera is mounted or out of reach. The GoPro App also allows for easy content sharing to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and more and combines with the new in-camera video trimming feature to form a convenient content sharing solution.

“HERO+ LCD illustrates that even as we push the limits of life capture with bleeding-edge devices like the HERO4 Black, we’re also focused on delivering accessible, high-quality capture solutions to anyone wanting to GoPro,” said Nick Woodman, founder and CEO of GoPro.

Whether you are a first-time user or a GoPro veteran, the HERO+ LCD is an impressive capture solution. It combines GoPro’s famed image quality, versatility and durability with WiFi connectivity, long battery life and touch display convenience in an all-in-one design.

HERO+ LCD will be available for purchase in the U.S. at authorized GoPro retailers and GoPro.com beginning June 7, 2015. International availability will begin July 12.

GoPro’s Hero action cameras are aimed squarely at the entry-level, leaving the more fully-featured Hero4 for serious film-makers. The Hero is still well-equipped and more than capable of capturing quality footage though. There are now three cameras in the Hero range: the GoPro Hero (around £94), GoPro Hero+ (around £169) and GoPro Hero+ LCD (around £199). The Hero+ gains Wi-Fi for pairing with an iOS and Android companion app, but the Hero+ LCD gets an LCD display too.

This gives you a live view for framing your video and photos, and lets you play back recorded clips, but also functions as a touchscreen. The LCD gives you a quick and easy way to adjust settings, as well as providing in-camera trimming so you can cut down videos to easily sharable sizes.

The camera will feel familiar to GoPro users, with the same typical three-button design. The power button is on the front, the shutter button on the top and a settings button the side. The side button is also used for “HiLight” favourites tagging when recording video, making it simple to mark important parts of your footage to make editing easier. You can also mark HiLights when you’re watching back video on the LCD display.

One of the biggest differences from the Hero4 is the non-removable waterproof case. Before the entry-level Hero arrived, every GoPro had a separate, detachable waterproof housing. With the Hero+ LCD, the casing is permanently fixed in place, which you might find a little unwieldy if you plan on using handheld gimbals designed for caseless action cameras.

The permanent case also increases the overall size, even when you’re not planning any aquatic escapades, but when you do get wet, the Hero+ LCD can survive being submerged to depths of 40m. The case is otherwise very rugged and will stand up to a good few knocks. As a whole, the Hero+ LCD weighs 127g - lighter than the 152g Hero4 Black. You get the usual array of curved and flat adhesive mounts, but the Hero+ range works with all of GoPro’s existing mount range.

Various different backdoors are included for the case, including one that will allow you to still access the touchscreen, but it’s worth noting that the touch backdoor is only waterproof to 10m. A skeleton backdoor can also be used that doesn’t obstruct the microphones as much for improved sound quality, but this isn’t dust or waterproof.

The Hero+ LCD might be more of an entry-level camera, but it’s still well-specified when it comes to video resolutions. It’s capable of up to 1080p video at 60fps, which is excellent for a sub-£200 camera - many are limited to 30fps. Where the Hero+ range is lacking is when it comes to higher frame rate video, which is useful for creating slow motion footage. The similarly-priced Veho Muvi K2NPNG allows for 720p video at 120fps. You’ll have to step up to the Hero4 Black to get 240fps video from a GoPro.

The Hero+ LCD is also capable of capturing 8-megapixel still images, in addition to a burst mode that rattles off 10 frames in 2 seconds. There’s also a time lapse photo mode, with intervals between 0.5s to 60s.

Footage captured from the Hero+ LCD was very crisp, with nice and vibrant colours and decent sharpness when given outdoor lighting. Under low light there’s a reasonable amount of noise, with the auto low-light function adjusting the frame rate dynamically to match lighting conditions. The resulting 8-megapixel still images captured a surprising amount of detail.

Battery life was excellent, matching the Veho Muvi K2 NPNG, which was one of the longest lasting action cameras we’ve tested. Shooting 1080p video at 30fps, the Hero+ LCD managed a fantastic 2 hours 27 minutes - significantly higher than the GoPro Hero4 Black. The battery isn’t removable, however, so there’s no swapping out batteries while you’re in the field.

As an entry-level GoPro, the Hero+ LCD is an excellent choice provided you don’t need the more advanced functionality of the full-blown Hero4. With not much money separating the Hero+ LCD and regular Hero+, the added convenience of a touchscreen display is definitely worth paying extra for.

The Muvi K2 NPNG has more included accessories (and support for GoPro mounts) but the Hero+ LCD has better image quality and a superior companion app. In any case, with both you’re getting very capable action cameras for not a lot of money.

Today GoPro announced its latest action camera, the GoPro HERO+ LCD.  This marks the first time GoPro has done an ‘off-cycle’ release of a new camera product, as the company has historically released new action cams in the September/October timeframe.  It also bookends a rather busy week of announcements for the company.  Last week they announced both their intentions of launching a drone early next year, as well as their crazy 6-camera spherical mount system.  And that’s all before we talk about an apparent upcoming software update to start cloud sync of GoPro files to some sort of still unannounced internet service.  And don’t forget that even more crazy 16-camera virtual reality mount they built for Google.

The new GoPro HERO+ LCD is sorta exactly as the name implies: It’s the 2014 GoPro HERO…plus…an LCD screen.  Well, and connectivity over WiFi and Bluetooth Smart.

You’ll likely remember that the entry level GoPro HERO was $129US, and had a non-removable external case.  That meant that you couldn’t take it out of the case, which in turn meant you couldn’t add in any additional rear-attaching accessories such as the extra battery packs or LCD screen.

They also added in the WiFi and Bluetooth Smart compatibility.  Not for sensors, but rather for connecting to your mobile phone. This connectivity allows you to transfer photos and videos over to your phone, and then up to the interwebs.  Further, the HERO+ LCD includes the remote highlight tagging, which wasn’t available on the lower end model.  This means you can use the remote control to tag highlights so you can find them quicker later on during editing.

Finally, the camera has an internal editing capability, allowing you to slice the clips a bit better before transferring them.  This helps reduce the time to transfer video clips to your phone, making the process a little bit quicker.  This is planned to come to the HERO4 Silver later this summer, and the HERO4 Black as well (if you have bought the additional LCD back touchscreen).

The Hero+ LCD unit includes a few different back doors, so you can use it in wet environments and still touch the screen, as well as using an open door too.

Definitely an interesting market for sure.  For those curious about my recommendations – for 95% of folks it’ll likely shift from the Hero4 Silver to the HERO+ LCD, assuming there are no issues with it.  The reason being that if you’re using it for cycling and such, you can actually use your Garmin Edge device with the GoPro, inside of Garmin’s free VIRB Edit software suite – thus getting all the benefits of data overlays there (I suppose Garmin is probably happy you’re buying their device).  It’s really only if you’re doing direct to camera sensors and don’t already have a GPS device for speed/distance/pace/altitude that I’d recommend looking at the Garmin X/XE lineup.
