The cheapest GoPro action camera has just been announced

Before now, getting a low-cost GoPro camera would mean you would have to sacrifice the wireless, which is a big deal.

The company has decided to have some mercy on the less buoyant public and unveiled the Hero+, an entry-level action camera that makes a lot of sense.

You will only pay $200 to get Bluetooth and WiFi instead of the usual $300-plus price, which will be very helpful when you’re looking for a remote control or want to send footage to your phone.

In addition is a welcome upgrade to 60 frames per second, up from the standard 30 FPS, and a boost in still shooting from 5-megapixels to 8.

The Hero+ should be available in stores worldwide from October 4, and it won’t be the only low-cost camera in the GoPro lineup.

This is because GoPro is simultaneously slashing down the price of its extra compact Hero 4 Session to $300. That might still make the cuboid camera a little expensive to some people, but at least it’s not the same kind of money you would have to pay for a full-size Hero 4 with 4K video, touchscreen control and other add-ons.
