Is it time for a new camera? GoPro have released their GoPro Hero 6 camera for all of you to get your hands on.

Add that capability in with their new GP1 chip that optimizes the capture for smoother stabilized footage and vastly improved image quality, which is a big improvement over the Hero 5. Add in that it’s waterproof up to 33 ft without a housing and you have a high quality, durable and affordable camera that you can take anywhere you go. Below you can get a taste of the quality this little camera can produce…

“Walk away from every adventure with incredible looking footage—and an awesome story to share. Introducing HERO6 Black with QuikStories. It’s a whole new game, and a whole new GoPro.”
