GoPro introduces wireless capabilities to latest affordable action cam

You’d have to shell out a lot more than US$300 to get wireless capability on your GoPro action camera. This time though, GoPro’s introducing the new Hero+ the $200 option with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It can take videos with up to 1080p/60fps video resolution, 8-megapixel stills in time-lapse or five photos per second burst modes. It integrates other features like QuikCapture one-button control for speedier recording; HiLight Tag; and Low Light mode.

The Hero+ comes with a watertight case you can take up to a depth of 131 ft. If you record at the maximum resolution, you should last for about an hour and 45 minutes with Wi-Fi on or around two hours with Wi-Fi off. It doesn’t have its own LCD viewfinder though. The new Hero+ will be available next month starting October 4^th in stores and online.
