In the fourth quarter ended December, GoPro gained market share in Asian markets including Japan, China, Korea and Thailand, while in the United States it had an 87 per cent share of the action camera market by units, the San Mateo, California-based company said.

GoPro launched its new product lineup including its flagship, HERO7 Black which is priced at Rs 37,000. It comes with a video stabilization feature called as  HyperSmooth. It makes it easy to capture professional-looking, gimbal-like stabilized video without the expense or hassle of a motorized gimbal, as told by GoPro. It reportedly works underwater and in high-shock and wind situations. The GoPro Hero Black can shoot 4K videos at 60 frames per second frame rate and, it can capture images at 12MP resolution. 

With HERO7 Black, GoPro is also introducing a radical new form of video called TimeWarp. TimeWarp Video applies a high-speed, ‘magic-carpet-ride’ effect to your videos. Imagine a scenic drive, ocean dive or walk through the city compressed into a super-stabilized, sped-up version of itself.

The HERO7 Black also supports live stream, enabling users to automatically share in real time to Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, Vimeo and other platforms.

Other features of the HERO7 Black include SuperPhoto, Portrait Mode, Face, Smile + Scene Detection, Short Clips, Photo Timer and GPS Performance Stickers.

Moreover, GoPro is inviting HERO7 Black owners to shoot this year’s HERO7 Black highlight video for their cut of $1,000,000. Beginning September 27 worldwide, users can submit their best HERO7 Black raw video clips to the Million Dollar Challenge. The GoPro team will pick their favorite shots for the highlight reel and award an equal cut of a million dollars to the individuals whose footage is selected.
