- General
- Brand: GoPro
- Model Number: CHDHF-131-AT
- Product Name: HERO Action Camera
- Color: Black
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 1/1.3" (9.6 x 7.2mm)
- Digital Zoom: 2x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Optical Zoom: 1.25x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
- Image Stabilization: Digital (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- 360 Degree Capture: true (The capability of the product to record an image incorporating a 360 degree point of view.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Exposure Control
- Maximum Aperture: f/0 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 15 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- Effective Pixels: 12 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Minimum Focal Length: 1 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 1.76 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Slow Motion Recording: false
- Video Encoding Formats: MP4 (The process of preparing the video for output, where the digital video is encoded to meet proper formats and specifications for recording and playback with the use of a compatible device.)
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)

- Night Recording: false (The ability to capture and record video in low-light conditions, typically via infrared light or intensifier tubes that amplify existing light to illuminate the scene.)
- Wind Noise Reduction: true (If you take a lot of outside videos, in windy conditions, you'll need to make sure you have wind noise reduction on your camcorder. It does just what it says it does, cuts down the noise of the wind as it hits the microphone.)
- Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: WiFi, Bluetooth (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Microphone Type: Built-in (condenser)
- Microphone Input: true (The device features an input for connecting an external microphone.)

Very practica
Very practical and lightweight, its size allows you to carry it with you. The downsides are the very small battery and the very basic recording and photo modes; nighttime photos are very poor.
