The Hero 2024—what I like to call “simplicity in a tiny package”—takes GoPro’s latest tech and wraps it up in a lightweight, durable design that’s perfect for adventure. It’s made for people who value ease of use over endless settings. With just two video options (1080p and 4K) and a photo mode, it offers everything you need and nothing you don’t—and honestly, that’s what I love about it!
Despite its minimalist approach, the Hero 2024 still delivers. It records gorgeous UltraHD 4K video at 30fps and captures sharp 12MP photos. Want slow-motion? You’ve got 2.7K video at 60fps. The Quik app makes it even easier to edit your footage or grab 8MP stills straight from your videos. Plus, HyperSmooth stabilization ensures your shots stay steady, whether you’re biking through the woods, skiing, or chasing your dog around the park.
Weighing just 86g (about 3 ounces), it’s pocket-sized and perfect for on-the-go adventures. The rear LCD touchscreen is super user-friendly, letting you frame your shots and tweak settings easily. And with built-in Wi-Fi, voice control, and compatibility with the Quik app, you can control everything effortlessly.
If you’re someone who doesn’t need the 5.6K resolution of the GoPro Hero 13 Black and prefers something sleek, compact, and straightforward, this is an amazing choice. Sometimes, less really is more!
