The GoPro Hero 6 has leaked, we’ve got all the details. Here’s all you need to know about the GoPro Hero 6 release date, specs, and Black Edition news and rumours.
It’s looking increasingly likely that a new GoPro camera is in the works, and could be launching later this month.
We’ve rounded up the latest news and rumours about the new camera, which is tentatively being dubbed the GoPro Hero 6 Black. Official details are relatively thin on the ground for now, but we’ve got a decent idea of what to expect nonetheless.
GoPro Hero 6 Black Release Date: When is it out?
The previous round of GoPro cameras launched late last year, so it’s not a huge stretch of the imagination to suggest that we’ll see a similar timeline for 2017.
Yes, rumour has it that the next GoPro cameras will be announced on September 28, 2017.
It’s also worth noting the following comments, which were made by GoPro CEO Nick Woodman, speaking in February this year:
“We can confirm there will be new cameras and other accessories released during the year, and [a] new camera namely being Hero 6. But we’re not going to share any information as to the timing or any other details around the release of those new products as you can imagine.”
GoPro Hero 6 Black Specs and Design: What’s new?
The best information we have to go on so far comes courtesy of PhotoRumors, a camera blog that obtained an image of what appears to be the retail packaging for a GoPro Hero 6 Black Edition camera.
As far as design goes, the new camera doesn’t look too dissimilar to the existing Hero 5 mode. Importantly, it seems as if the waterproofed exterior has been retained, which means you won’t need additional casing to keep it dry when filming underwater.
The packaging also seemingly reveals a number of spec details, including the following capabilities:
- 12-megapixel still image capture
- 4K video capture at 60 frames per second
- Waterproof to a depth of 33 feet / 10 metres
That 4K60fps video capture is a welcome step up from the GoPro Hero 5, which was only capable of 4K30fps capture.
GoPro Hero 6 Black Price: How much will it cost?
The GoPro Hero 5 Black Edition action camera launched at a fairly lofty price of £350, so we’d expect similar pricing for the camera’s sequel.
Our bet is a price tag of somewhere between £350 and £450, so start cracking open those piggy banks and hunting for long-lost pennies under the sofa cushions.
