About this model
The GoPro Hero 6 Black is a compact, rugged action camera built for capturing high-quality video and photos in demanding conditions. It uses GoPro's GP1 processor to record 4K footage at up to 60 frames per second, and can also shoot 1080p at 240fps for slow motion. The camera is waterproof to 10 metres without a separate housing, and its built-in stabilisation helps smooth out shake when mounted to a helmet, bike or chest harness. Photos are captured at 12 megapixels, and the touchscreen on the back makes it easy to frame shots and change settings. It is a popular choice for travel, sports and outdoor filming.
