The GoPro Hero+ is an entry-level action camera that is part of the Hero line. This budget-friendly touchscreen-equipped camera features video recording to up to 1080p at 60 frames per second, built-in WiFi, Bluetooth as well as waterproof housing.
Perhaps the highlight attraction of the GoPro Hero+ is that built-in touchscreen, which not only lets users better compose their shots and better see what they're trying to shoot, but also gives them the ability to review clips. Moreover, in-camera video trimming allows users to cut unwanted footage before sharing it via the companion app.
At $300, this camera is still reasonably affordable given its functionality, and will give action video enthusiasts lots of good service.
