Until now, you had to dig deeper into your wallet at GoPro if you wanted touchscreen control, which was only available from the "Hero 4 Silver" model onwards. Now this operating advantage is also available in a cheaper version, the recently introduced "GoPro Hero+ LCD" model. Here, the camera is already built into a waterproof housing suitable for outdoor sports; to operate the touchscreen, a flap on the back of the camera has to be opened each time.

In terms of recording quality, the "GoPro Hero+ LCD" is no slouch: sporting exploits can be recorded in full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels) and 60 frames/second. Individual images are shot with a resolution of 8 megapixels. WLAN and Bluetooth for simple, wireless data transfer are also on board. The supplied software includes an editing module, which can be used, for example, to simply and easily remove distracting sequences at the beginning and end of the film.
