The GoPro Hero 6 has been unveiled by the brand at an event in San Francisco and promises to be the device that will help it keep the title of action cam king when it comes to performance. Set to retail for $499, the camera is able to capture 4K footage at 60fps, while it will also be able to shoot 120fps at 2.7K resolution when in slow-motion mode. This can also be increased to 240fps at 1080p resolution to make the playback up to 10-times slower when played back without any stuttering.
The GoPro Hero 6 also boasts 5GHz WiFi for transferring data to your smartphone at a speed that's three times faster than the previous models, while it's also able to capture 12MP photos.
