About this model
The GoPro Hero is the entry point to GoPro's action camera range. It is built for everyday adventures: the body is waterproof to 10 metres without a housing, so you can take it swimming, surfing or snorkelling straight out of the box. It records video up to 1440p and takes 10-megapixel photos, with a touchscreen on the back for framing and changing settings. The camera uses the same mounting system as other GoPro models, so it fits the wide range of GoPro mounts and accessories.
