  • General
    • Product Name: HERO HD Waterproof Action Camera
    • Brand: GoPro
    • Model Number: CHDHB-501
  • 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.)
    • Digital Zoom: None (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.)
    • 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
    • Effective Pixels: 10 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Display
    • Screen Size: 2 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
    • 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.)

    • Integrated Speaker(s): false
    • Night Recording: true (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.)

Q: How long does the battery last on a charge ?

A: Battery life will depend on which mode you're shooting in. For example, at a high resolution and frame rate like 1440p and 60 fps, the battery should last about an hour and 20 minutes. At a lower setting like 1080p and 30 fps, you should get about two and a half hours of battery life per charge.

Q: Do you need any housing at all or can you just take the camera under water by itself?

A: By itself. I bought a floating handle just in case I dropped it though.

Q: This $200 gopro. what gopro is it? 4/5/6?

A: Its the hero 2018, which is between the 4 and 5. Basically its a 5 with less options like no 4k, limited time lapse, limited video settings and 10mp camera vs the 12 in the 5. The 5 would be the better one, but its $100 more.

Q: Is it possible to use the GoPro as a dash cam in the car, and if so are accessories available like a windshield or dash mount and power adapter?

A: Yes, it's possible to use a GoPro as a dash cam. The Suction Cup mount is an option that may work for you. Also, the camera comes with a USB cable to charge the camera, so any adapter that can plug into your car and provide enough power should work.

Q: Hi is the new hero compatible with the smart remote?

A: No, it is not. I bought the remote to only find that out after I can't return it.

Q: Is there a video rec limit?

A: It depends on the size of the memory card you use. I have a 128G card it holds 8 hours worth.

Q: An the new GoPro Hero do timelapse?

A: Yes; video and picture
