GoPro launches HERO7 Black – video stabilization in-camera

GoPro has announced its new product lineup, including its Rs.36,000 flagship, HERO7 Black, which sets a new bar for video stabilization with its standout feature, HyperSmooth.

HyperSmooth is the best in-camera video stabilization ever featured in a camera. It makes it easy to capture professional-looking, gimbal-like stabilized video without the expense or hassle of a motorized gimbal.

With HERO7 Black, GoPro is also introducing a radical new form of video called TimeWarp. TimeWarp Video applies a high-speed, “magic-carpet-ride” effect to videos. Imagine a scenic drive, ocean dive or walk through the city compressed into a super-stabilized, sped-up version of itself, with the entire experience playing out in seconds. TimeWarp Video transforms longer experiences into short, flowing videos that are compelling to watch and easy to share.

And when it comes to sharing, there’s no faster way to do it than live. HERO7 Black is the first GoPro to live stream, enabling users to automatically share in real time to Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, Vimeo and other platforms internationally. The result is an exciting and convenient way to share life’s more interesting, on-the-go moments.

According to GoPro Founder Nick Woodman, “HERO7 Black is the GoPro we’ve all been waiting for. With HyperSmooth video stabilization, HERO7 Black is a camera anyone can use to capture amazingly smooth, professional looking shots of their favourite activities. And they can do it live.”

With HyperSmooth video stabilization, HERO7 Black makes it easier than ever to capture professional looking shots of favorite activities. To celebrate, they are inviting HERO7 Black owners to shoot this year’s HERO7 Black highlight video for their cut of $1,000,000. Beginning September 27 worldwide, users can submit their best HERO7 Black raw video clips to the Million Dollar Challenge. Their creative team will pick their favourite shots for the highlight reel and award an equal cut of a million dollars to the individuals whose footage is selected.

GoPro has a new HERO camera for everyone this fall, including newbies, active go-getters and social sharers of all ages. Joining HERO7 Black, to round out the lineup, are HERO7 Silver and HERO7 White – the perfect active-lifestyle cameras for entry- and mid-level users.

The 4K Rs.27,000 HERO7 Silver and 1080p Rs.19,000 HERO7 White are tough, tiny and waterproof to 33 feet. Tell them what to do using voice commands, or just tap the shutter button, and the camera will turn on and capture the moment automatically. And of course, it wouldn’t be a GoPro without the stunning video and photo quality that’s made GoPro the best-selling camera in North America for more than four-and-a-half years straight. Both HERO7 Silver and White feature significantly improved video stabilization, making it easier to get great looking shots on-the-go.

The Rs.36,000 HERO7 Black, Rs.27,000 HERO7 Silver and Rs.19,000 HERO7 White are available for pre-order at GoPro.com. Cameras will be available in-store internationally beginning September 27.
