Go Pro Hero 7: No more shaky footage

The key to a good movie is a good story, good perspectives, sophisticated editing and sound - and, of course, shake-free shots. Go Pro's latest camera now ensures this: it offers image stabilization that is reminiscent of the performance of gimbals.

HyperSmooth is the name of the core competence of the brand new Go Pro Hero 7 camera and, according to the action sports camera pioneer, the best integrated video stabilization ever seen on a camera. The aim is to easily create professional-looking videos with gimbal-like stabilization - without the cost or effort of a gimbal with motors. The HyperSmooth function also works underwater and in strong shocks and strong winds, where a gimbal fails.

With the Hero 7 Black, GoPro is also introducing a whole new type of video called TimeWarp. With TimeWarp video, videos are greatly accelerated to create a "flying carpet" effect. A ride through impressive landscapes, a dive in the sea or a tour through the city - all of this is compressed with TimeWarp into an extremely stabilized video in which the whole experience plays out in a matter of seconds. TimeWarp video transforms longer experiences into short, fluid videos.

The new Go Pro flagship is also the first GoPro with live streaming - allowing users to automatically stream to Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, Vimeo and other platforms in real time.

While the new Hero 7 Black costs CHF 449, GoPro is also introducing more affordable cams. The Hero 7 Silver for CHF 349 offers 4K recording and the Hero 7 White for CHF 229.90 films at 1080p. Both are robust, tiny and waterproof up to 10 meters. Both are easy to operate with voice commands or a shutter release to switch the camera on and start recording automatically. Both the Hero 7 Silver and the White offer significantly improved video stabilization.
