The GoPro Lit Hero is my first GoPro, have several other action cams but this is my first GoPro, and I love all the features. With my other action cameras, I struggle to find the right attachments and equipment to use with them, but it seems like the world is set up for the GoPro. The Lit Hero is a compact, entry-level action camera that adds a built-in LED light to the Hero line, making it a solid choice for creators who shoot in low-light conditions. I went to a wedding and had a great time making videos, it is small enough that I could place it in my jacket’s breast pocket and leave it and it captured a lot of conversations and dancing that I would not have been able to capture otherwise. I swore an oath that I would not post any of those videos, it might incriminate someone. Here’s a breakdown of what makes the Lit Hero stand out—and where it falls short: PROS: It offers 4K60fps video: Delivers crisp footage with the option for 2x slow motion at full resolution. It has a ½.8” CMOS Sensor able to take 12MP still photos. It has a 140-degree field of view and can create MP4 of HEVC format videos. It has a built-in LED light: A standout addition for low-light shooting, especially useful for vloggers or indoor creators. The battery life is amazing at over 100 minutes of 4K recording. It is waterproof but only down to 5 meters. CONS: These are not deal killer just observations. There is No removable battery: Limits flexibility for extended shoots, must charge as needed. There is no built-in stabilization, only in the app, not ideal for action-heavy use without post-processing. It has limited waterproofing: 16ft is fine for pools, but not for diving. There is no horizon lock or front display: Less suited for advanced creators and there is no front screen: May be a drawback for vloggers who want to frame themselves. The Lit Hero is a clever pivot for GoPro—less about extreme sports, more about lifestyle and social content. If you’re building cinematic sequences or character-driven content, this could be a great action camera for tight shots or dramatic lighting setups.
