Review of the appearance of the tiny 4K camera 'GoPro HERO' weighing only 86g, and a size comparison with the GoPro HERO13 Black

The ' GoPro HERO ' is a small and lightweight camera that weighs 86g, and despite its tiny size, it can shoot 4K / 30fps videos. I was able to borrow a GoPro HERO, so I first thoroughly checked its appearance and also compared its size with the '

GoPro HERO13 Black '.

The GoPro HERO package looks like this.

In addition to the GoPro HERO itself, the box contained a USB Type-C cable and mounting parts.

Stickers and instructions were also included.

This is what the GoPro HERO looks like from the front. The lens aperture is F2.3, and the focal length in 35mm format is 15mm.

The camera part protrudes slightly from the body.

The back is equipped with a 1.76-inch touch-enabled LCD display.

There is a slot cover on the left side.

Hidden beneath the slot cover are the microSD card slot and the USB Type-C port.

The right side is equipped with a power button and mode switching button.

There is a recording start button on the top.

There is a folding hanger on the bottom.

When the folding hanger is unfolded it looks like this.

The folding hanger allows you to connect GoPro compatible accessories.
