New GoPro 5 Exposure: Touchscreen + Waterproof

This article was compiled from Technobuffalo

Earlier this month, GoPro leaked a new video of the operation of the GoPro internally. The new GoPro display in the video was added to the touch screen function for the first time, giving fans a look of anticipation.

Recently, the Japanese website Nokishita released a set of starting images of the legendary GoPro 5, and the photos were immediately deleted, but they were still captured by the camera blog Mirrorless Rumors. In addition, a shared account on Reddit revealed that Hero will launch other hardware products when it launches GoPro5 later this year.

The news revealed that the biggest update of GoPro is that the fifth-generation GoPro supports waterproof function, which makes up for the regret that GoPro 4 Session cannot run underwater. The new camera is capable of resisting water pressure of 10 atmospheres, and it is also possible to introduce a more advanced waterproof version to meet market segment needs.

The redesigned camera is expected to have a huge touch screen on the back, as can be seen clearly in the picture above. The front of GoPro5 will remove the previous Power/Mode button and all menu controls will be integrated in the LCD touch screen. Thanks to a more streamlined structural design, the new model seems to be more durable, and of course the final product may differ slightly from the current leak map.

The new GoPro's battery will reach 1,220 mA, which is significantly larger than the old one, and the battery can be removed and replaced at any time. The new camera is also more three-dimensional than its predecessor, reaching 62 mm x 44.6 mm x 33.7 mm. Unlike the old model, which uses the Mini USB interface, the new GoPro has finally replaced the slightly normal USB-C interface.

With regard to the new release date, no specific information has yet flowed out. But obviously, according to the current exposure rate, I believe the new model will soon meet with us. Mashable's picture additional information is displayed as PVT3, meaning Production Validation Test. This shows that GoPro5 has undergone long-term testing and is about to enter pre-production. I believe the official press conference will soon Held.
