Camera rumors in 2025: what cameras are coming, officially and otherwise!

GoPro rumors 2025

As the brand expands, I'm seeing more GoPro rumors about applications for its mobile imaging tech beyond the core action camera segment.

We've just had the expected GoPro Hero 13 Black, along with the rumored $199 GoPro Hero 2024, but it looks like we're imminently going to see another 360 camera and maybe even a helmet camera from the Californian company.

These are the GoPro rumors that have been whispered around the water cooler lately…

New GoPro Max

After an excruciating five-year wait, we will finally get a new GoPro Max this year – though it could carry an excruciating $599 price tag.

Since the original Max was launched in 2019, GoPro has fumbled the ball and allowed Insta360 to dance all over the end zone with it. Again there haven't yet been any leaks on specs or info, but with the company alluding to a $599 camera in its most recent earnings call we could very much be looking at a premium product.

With two of GoPro's three registered cameras now having launched, in the shape of the Hero 13 and Hero 2024, all signs are pointing towards the last remaining model being this new Max. And if it is indeed going to be a bank balance buster, GoPro probably played its hand well by releasing the $199 Hero first…

GoPro tech helmet

GoPro has acquired Australian tech-enabled helmet manufacturer Forcite. However, while Forcite specializes in motorcycle helmets, GoPro intends to expand into other helmet markets – and also plans to partner with other manufacturers.

"In addition to our plan to develop our own GoPro-branded line of helmets, we are excited to partner with other leading helmet brands to help tech-enable their own helmet lines," said GoPro founder Nicholas Woodman. "We have great respect for established brands, and we look forward to working with them to help drive the industry forward, together."
