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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gopro-hero13-black-creator-edition) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Touchscreen Action Cameras:** Opportunity to develop affordable action cameras with built-in touchscreens - **Entry-level Action Camera:** Opportunity to focus on market segments for entry-level action cameras with advanced features - **In-camera Video Trimming:** Opportunity to incorporate in-camera video trimming in various types of cameras ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to create more affordable, touchscreen-equipped action cameras - **Outdoor Sports:** Opportunity for companies in the outdoor sports industry to produce more affordable and versatile action cameras with built-in touchscreens - **Digital Photography:** Opportunity for digital photography companies to introduce cameras with in-camera video trimming as a key feature ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Sports-Ready Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-action-camera.md) - [Portable Action Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-12-black.md) - [Accessory-Focused Action Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gopro-1.md) - [Miniature Action Wireless Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insta360-go-3.md) - [Limited-Edition Forest Green Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero13-black-camera.md) - [360-Degree Action Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insta360-x3.md) - [Vlogger-Targeted Action Cam Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gopro-hero10-black-creator-edition.md) - [Improved Subject-Tracking Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/action-5-pro.md) - [Thumb-Sized Action Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-action-camera.md)
