GoPro HERO Summary
The GoPro HERO is the most compact 4K action camera from GoPro’s current range, and ideal for content creators who want an action camera with incredible capabilities but is amazingly small and portable. Weighing just 86 grams, it’s as small as an AirPods case, which is perfect to bring on any adventure, and weighs about half the weight of the HERO12, and barely noticeable in your pocket, on a helmet, or clipped to your backpack.
Despite its ultra-compact size, HERO records stabilised 4K30 video and captures 12MP photos, making it ideal for everyday adventures, travel, and spontaneous moments. The built-in touchscreen, voice control, and one-button operation ensure that capturing footage is quick and intuitive, even for first-time users. With built-in mounting fingers, it’s compatible with a wide range of action camera accessories too, expanding your creative possibilities.
While it lacks some advanced features of HERO13 black such as GPS and interchangeable lenses, the HERO camera offers a straightforward and user-friendly experience with a smaller device, which is ideal for new creators and anyone who want the lightest option possible.

GoPro HERO in More Detail
Tiny, Tough, and Ready to Go
GoPro HERO is small enough to take anywhere, whether you’re travelling, hiking, or recording everyday moments. It’s half the weight of HERO12, yet built just as tough, while being shockproof and waterproof to 5m, which is perfect for beaches, pools, and rainy conditions.
4K Video from a Pocket-Sized Camera
Despite its compact size, HERO records crisp 4K video at 60fps and takes 12MP photos, ensuring great detail and colour in every shot. You can grab high-quality 8MP frame grabs straight from your footage too, making it easy to capture photos to share, without missing any of the action.
HyperSmooth Stabilisation for Steady Footage
GoPro’s HyperSmooth stabilisation delivers shake-free footage, whether you’re cycling, skiing, or simply walking around. It automatically smooths out movement, resulting in natural-looking action shots and professional results, with no gimbal required.
Simple to Use, with Smart Features
HERO is easy to use, with an intuitive touchscreen, voice control, and one-button recording. Just tap the screen to switch modes, or use voice commands to start and stop recording when your hands are busy.
Mounting Flexibility with GoPro Accessories
The built-in folding mounting fingers ensure that HERO is compatible with over 35 GoPro accessories, including body mounts, helmet mounts, and tripods. Whether you’re recording POV footage or setting up time-lapses, HERO integrates seamlessly into the GoPro ecosystem.
Cloud Backup and Instant Edits
Plug in HERO while connected to Wi-Fi, and it automatically uploads footage to the cloud. The GoPro Quik app creates auto-edited highlight videos, complete with music and effects, so you can share your adventures instantly.

Our Verdict
The GoPro HERO is the perfect option for anyone who wants an easy-to-use action camera in the smallest possible size. It’s lightweight, durable, and waterproof, which is ideal for travel, vlogging, and adventure filming.
With stabilised 4K video, simple controls, and automatic cloud uploads, HERO captures brilliant footage without the complexity of higher-end cameras in the range. HyperSmooth stabilisation, voice control, and slow-motion recording are perfect for capturing action sports, POV shots, or just everyday moments.
While it lacks some of the advanced features of the HERO12 or HERO13 (such as GPS tracking, interchangeable lenses, or 5.3K resolution), its small size and ease of use make it a great option for beginners, and creators who want the smallest GoPro that fits in a pocket.
