Customer Ratings & Reviews

Video quality is great and clear. Very easynto use.

This is our first time using a camera like this . Honestly it’s a great camera , picture and video are exceptional

Feels artificially limited in its settings in software, but the little light on it works well for my purposes. It's less expensive if you lose one of these than the current Black versions.

Amazing love it great purchase recommended to anyone who’s interested!

No gps so no auto time sync but good camera for the price

Let's start with the obvious first - this isn't the top tier of GoPro cameras for those that want to start a career as a professional vlogger or make high end production movies. No, that's the NUMBERED HERO Black line that has features like interchangeable device shoes, replaceable batteries, larger lenses, front screens and is priced considerably higher. This camera is part of the basic / consumer level action camera line that started with the last generation and the basic GoPro HERO. This new "LIT HERO" has a lot of the features that made that first gen entry model a winner - ease of use for new users (built-in batteries that charge fast with USB, a single touch screen and a compact, lighter weight and durable camera body that's fully waterproof when closed) with a video light (diffuser is included and can be used or not) for filming in low light conditions. And that light is BRIGHT - it can be a little harsh, so I've been using the diffuser and the lower settings only - which means you can still get clear shots even at night. The compensation for that light is, of course, a slightly higher price so you'll have to decide for yourself if it's worth the price of entry vs the first generation. Video quality is good, though with a smaller lens and fewer options, it's not quite as good as the top tier camera. You do still get 4K 60 frames per second and your choice of 16:9 or 4:# aspect ratio shots and I've found that with good lighting (including the built-in light in the dark) you get good results. Of course you also get the standard GoPro mounting "fingers" to attach any accessories you might want. The battery is solid if not spectacular, but you can use an external battery for longer sessions, though at the cost of not being waterproof when doing this. The GoPro app is a requirement to use the camera effectively and access some settings / upgrades, but you don't need to buy a subscription if you don't want to, which is nice. At the end of the day, this is a nice upgrade on the entry level GoPro HERO that's solid for beginners / general consumers who want an action cam that's good in all light conditions without the price of the numbered HERO Black flagship line. Is it right for you? Well only you can answer that!

Action cameras are flooding the market and many are trying to look and feel and provide similar technology to the device that started it all, GoPro. The best thing about these action cameras is that they pack a serious amount of tech inside a very small package and this device unlike others, has a built in light and a larger lense with absolute 4K video and 12MP photo. Just like other GoPros its waterproof up to 16 feet, is lightweight and has similar touchscreen. This device is also voice controlled and its easy to set up and use with the Quik Gopro app and your video or photo gets auto uploaded to the cloud even while this is charging. The great thing about using these action cameras, it is the most stabilized camera in the industry compared to others and includes 2x slow motion in 4K which makes your action videos even more compelling. The other good thing with this device, its reasonably priced for all the tech it includes which is even better and more of reason to purchase this action camera.

GoPro’s latest camera might sound like a drunk protagonist, but it’s a tight little package that sheds light on situations where other GoPro products wouldn’t capture much. The Lit HERO is a budget friendly action camera that includes a bright LED light on the front. Let’s see what it can do. GoPro is basically the original action camera, and the Lit HERO represents a sub $300 LED lit action cam that can do slow motion, 4:3, 4K60, and 12mp photos in a very small package. The physical size of this device is 2 1/4 inches wide, a little under 2 inches high, and slightly thicker than an inch. It sports a small touch screen to help frame shots, and is really intuitive to use. Out of the box, you get a couple mounts, usb cable, and some stickers. The mounting options are basic, but do offer a sticky mount for a helmet or other curved surface, as well as standard tripod mounting screws and compatibility with a lot of GoPro’s mounting accessories if you have previous investment in this space. The camera is picky about what SD cards it wants to use. It wants V30 cards; and reads the cards metadata to determine if the card is such. If not, it displays a warning, letting you know you may not be able to use the card for the highest settings. The camera truly is small, and built well. GoPro is legendary in it’s durability, and this unit seems no different. The outer frame appears to be an aluminum alloy, with plastic innards that help enable the wireless connectivity. The lens protector easily rotates off, and is replaceable which means if it gets scratched, it’s a fairly easy and cheap fix. The LEDs are protected by a glass cover. The camera also supports 16ft (3m) water proof certification. This means this camera can survive a bit of rain, and even a shallow pool. The footage captured seems congruent with what I’d expect. The sensor likes light, and the LED light helps. In low light conditions, the noise and blurring are quite high. Adding light from the LED helps, but it shines in outdoor situations. I prefer 60Hz, and thus 4:3 being limited to 30hz for 4k is a bit of a problem. Luckily you can do 16:9 4k at 60hz. The microphone is passable for general use, but you’ll want to sync in an external mic if you’re doing vlogging. Battery life seems to be at least an hour, with some additional time depending on the light usage and what resolution you’re recording in. The Quik app is the primary means of interfacing with the camera. This app is available on iPhone and Android, with the desktop clients being unsupported since late 2024. The one advantage of the apps is that they will do a wifi direct connection to the camera and download videos. The camera itself supports hosting on 5Ghz wireless, which means you can get some pretty decent data rates, making downloading large 4k shots less annoying. Even 20s of video can be almost 30mb of data, so WiFi 5Ghz is greatly appreciated. Once the videos are transferred they’re stored in the Quik app, and you can export them to your phone. Watch the advanced settings or you’ll get a scaled down version of the original video. I played with a few of the functions in the app, and it’s suggested edits, while cool - were sometimes hilariously tone deaf. It was interesting to see it mixing and matching footage with what was in my own phone’s video/photo library. I appreciate the creativity, but some of these AI creations are really strange. That said, the edits are sometimes perfectly on point and allow casual users to have a professional take on their video without much work. Overall the Lit HERO is a pretty solid little camera. My use cases will expand when the weather gets better, but I have no doubt that the camera is up to the challenge. With decent battery life, and durable construction with a budget price, the Lit HERO is a solid little offering. Highly recommended.

no instructions included you have to download and scan, etc. etc. It needs a specific microSD card, which is nowhere stated l.dcpjk
