The [GoPro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-action-camera) Hero+ is an entry-level [action camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-osmo-action-6) 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](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.
