GoPro Hero5 raises the bar for action cameras

Tech Tools: Cutting-edge device shoots in ultra-high quality 4k and features voice commands

If you are an extreme sports fans, it’s highly likely that you already know what a GoPro is: a pricey action camera that you can attach to different bits of you and put through utter hell, just for the video footage.

But the latest version, the GoPro Hero 5 could be its best yet. Two reasons: 4k footage and voice control.

The newest GoPro supports shooting in 4k, the ultra-high quality video standard that is currently taking hold, with 12 megapixel stills in the mix. It has one touch operation and a touchscreen on the rear and it’s waterproof.

No extra accessories needed. But it also responds to voice commands for shooting, starting time lapses and so on.
