It may be either a loose connection to the LCD screen, that the LCD screen is faulty and needs to be replaced or worst case that there is a fault on the motherboard.

Try shining a torch at an angle close to the LCD screen to check if you can detect an image at all when using the camera. It will be very faint so try it in a darkened room if possible.

If you can detect an image it means that there is a backlight problem with the screen. Either there is no power being supplied from the motherboard to the backlight circuit in the LCD screen or the backlight circuit in the screen is faulty and the screen will have to be replaced as it cannot be repaired. Hopefully it is not a motherboard problem in supplying backlight power to the screen.

If you cannot detect an image (or even if you can) then unfortunately without a schematic, the only way to determine if it is a problem with the screen or the motherboard is to replace one or the other. Again hopefully it is not a motherboard problem.

Here’s a link to a video that shows how to replace the LCD screen + digitizer in the camera. This will also help you to check if the LCD video flex cable connection is OK.

Here’s a link to the GoPro Hero5 Black Repair guides which may also help if the video isn’t clear enough at some points. Unfortunately there is no ifixit guide showing the LCD screen removal.

I have the exact same problem. Bought my GoPro 2 weeks ago, used it for 2 weeks... downloaded / updated the firmware this morning using the iPhone app... restarted and now the back / LCD screen doesn"t turn on at all. I chatted with support for 2 hours and they had me manually install the update which I downloaded here:

and then installed by coping the resulting "UPDATE" folder to my SD card, which after a couple tries did take but didn"t fix the problem. I"m left with a 2 week old GoPro that has a non-functioning LCD screen.

I"d put money on the firmware update being the issue as 1) that"s the only thing that"s changed for me since this morning and b) the problem is that the touchscreen isn"t displaying anything at all.

Hero GoPro4 was the first revolutionary GoPro to come with a built-in touch LCD but it also arrived with a blank screen problem. If you’re facing misery as well, let me tell you that you aren’t the only one.

First, reinsert the battery and camera immediately. Then, charge the camera to a USB wall charger with a 5V and 1A rating. If the screen still doesn’t start working, change the battery and replace it with a new one.

Even though the GoPro camera is waterproof, sometimes water may go inside it if you go too deep under the water. The same goes for extreme temperatures as the screen stops working over and under certain temperatures.

The optimum level of water resistance and temperature resistance is specified in the manual. You should in no circumstances go further beyond the limit. Otherwise, problems such as the back screen not working may occur.

Another possible reason would be recording continuously for a long time. Now, remember that the GoPro series offers multiple high-end features that require high battery consumption.

The higher the battery consumption will be, the more heat will be produced. That’s why, if you shoot for a long time without a break, the produced heat may damage the back screen. In the worst case, GoPro Hero 4 won’t turn on at all.

Sometimes, the back screen gets damaged due to charging through the wrong cable. If the charging cable doesn’t match its requirement, it may hamper the LCD if you continue charging with it for a long time.

Again, if the back screen of the camera stops working suddenly, but the front monitor and battery are in a good condition, then probably, the problem lies with the back screen itself. You may need to replace the screen to get to work again.

Okay, it is time to talk about how to fix the GoPro Hero 4 back screen. But before you fall into any situation like this, you should use the camera carefully. Just go through all specifications carefully and don’t leave its optimum operating temperatures and heights underwater.

If the back LCD is damaged already, remove the battery immediately and reinsert it after a while. Then, restart the camera. If this doesn’t solve the problem, you have to reset the GoPro Hero 4 repair.

To reset the camera, press the “Mood” button continuously until the “Reset” button is highlighted. Select the option to reset the camera. If there’s something wrong due to a software issue, the back screen should run this time.

If you’re unlucky and the screen goes really damaged, you may have to end up replacing the screen. In that case, check if it is still under the warranty period. If so, you’ll get the screen from the manufacturer. I hope this should solve the problem.

If the LCD doesn’t turn on, you should restart the camera and reinsert the battery the first time. Then, charge the camera with an authentic charger. Check if there’s a red dot that appears which indicates the charging state. The LCD should turn on after a substantial charge.

Yes, the Hero 4 Black comes with a built-in touch LCD in front of the camera. You can also add an additional screen on the back of the camera as an optional accessory.

So, that’s all of the article concerning how to fix GoPro Hero 4 back screen not working. The GoPro camera is known to be extremely durable and reliable. The screen should not stop working until something really bad happens.

For those wondering what gopro cameras THIS specific kit is for, it"s for the hero 3+/hero 4. It mounts to the back of the 3+/4 as pictured and comes with 3 back doors for the hero 3+/4 housing. 3 doors included; 1 skeleton(open to touch the screen directly), 1 waterproof touch case(has a thin plastic membrane in the back to touch the screen with but is only waterproof to 3m/10"), and the full waterproof back(functions as normal waterproof back. screen not touchable but is view-able). the extra side button is for turning the display on, playback mode, and off. overall it"s very easy to use and go through menus to change settings.

I like that I can now frame my shots better and see what I"ve recorded. it adds some thickness to the camera but i"m not concerned about it. I"d only use to it line up shots and see how they came out. it doesn"t need to be on all the time... to conserve battery life. I don"t know how it effects battery life yet, but i"m not too worried about that. I use a telesin 1300mAh/4.81Wh aftermarket battery with the gopro hero 3+ factory(1180mAh/3.885Wh) battery as backup with my 3+ silver.

"The LCD Touch BacPac backdoor has a thin plastic film across the back that lets you use the BacPac"s touch functionality even while in the housing. The backdoor"s thin plastic film can however be damaged if there is a big difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the waterproof housing. It"s important that you are aware of the conditions that can cause this, so that you take the necessary precautions to prevent damage to the film.

If you plan to use the camera in any such scenarios, we recommend that you do not use the LCD touch door, but rather the fully sealed waterproof door or skeleton back door.

Kit comes with a short mount extension. Out of the box gopros come with a 90 degree turned extension. This one is straight. Also, double-tapping the screen goes between live view and playback. Holding the side display button for 3 seconds turns it off.

Exactly one year ago today GoPro announced the Display Mod, as part of the larger Hero 8 suite. At the time, a year before the Hero 9 would come out, it promised a way to see yourself from the front of the camera, aimed somewhat at vloggers, but realistically anyone that just wanted to frame the subject from in front of the camera (which I think is way more people than just vloggers). Undoubtedly it was a response to the DJI OSMO Action with its dual front and rear color screens.

Unfortunately, with delay after delay after delay, it wouldn’t finally see the light until just a week or two ago. By then, the GoPro Hero 9 had launched, which featured a similar front-facing screen as the DJI OSMO Action, negating the value for most people. Still, plenty of people have the Hero 8 cameras, and the Display Mod also offers a larger screen than the Hero 9’s front facing display. So perhaps there was still some value there – it was time to find out!

To begin, the Display Mod comes with both a USB-C charging cable (just like a normal GoPro would), as well as a small case for it, keeping it safe for when it’s not on your camera:

The GoPro Display Mod requires the GoPro Media Mod. In the case of the Hero 8, that’s the Hero 8 Media Mod, and in the case of the Hero 9, that’s the Hero 9 Media Mod. These are different models and aren’t cross-compatible because the GoPro Hero 8 and Hero 9 are different sizes, thus their shells are different sizes:

But, the good news is that as long as you have the appropriate Media Mod for the right camera, then you can use the same Display Mod with either. Also, for fun, I tried using the Media Mod with the GoPro Hero 7 (which has an HDMI port on it), and while it would illuminate, it would only show a gallery view of existing content on the card (like plugging into a TV), except half the navigation icons are cut-off, so you’re basically navigating blindly with the Hero 7 Mode & Power Buttons, hoping you don’t delete anything in the process.

Now, you’ll twist up the Display Mod, which has the screen on the front-facing side. This hinge seems well built in terms of up/down movement, but wouldn’t do well with a strong shear (lateral) or twisting force on it. Long term I think disconnecting and re-connecting the wire is probably what will break first.

Next, go ahead and hold down the left button, this turns it on. If you have the screen on, but not yet the GoPro, you’ll see this (which assumes you haven’t connected the cable). You’ll also see the battery state in the corner (of the display mod). Once you turn on your GoPro, you’ll see yourself on the Display Mod, and the GoPro Hero 8 or 9 back screen will turn off:

On the front Display Mod screen you’ll only ever see the exact same thing: Yourself and the Display Mod battery. Meanwhile, on the front GoPro status screen you’ll see the recording time details more or less like normal. You’ll see the mode you’re in, recording time, battery life of the GoPro, etc…

At first you’re like – OK, no biggie, right? Except…biggie. See, you can’t adjust any settings now unless you literally turn off the Display Mod (which means it’s now sitting there flipped up and off – cause if it’s flipped down, it blocks your rear touchscreen):

See, the Display Mod isn’t a touchscreen, and it *NEVER* shows display settings, or allows you to adjust settings. It just shows yourself. That’s it. Again, it only shows yourself. Take for example this super cool new audio feature on the Hero 9 Media Mod (green lines at the bottom) – this is when the Display Mod is turned off:

That’d be brilliant on the Display Mod, and arguably, there’s no better place for that than facing yourself – since that’s kinda sorta when you want to know whether the audio is working (perhaps wireless mics you’ve got plugged in like I do). Except nope.

Or, perhaps you want to adjust from Wide to the new GoPro Hero 9 Linear Horizon Leveling mode. Nope, you can’t do that either without shutting off the Display Mod, waiting for it to slowly disconnect itself, and then illuminate the other screen. And then of course once that’s done, you’ll turn back your Display Mod on.

So when you’re not having the Display Mod in use, then you can flip down the screen like this (shown partially, it goes all the way down as shown above elsewhere):

And that’s fine, you can still see the GoPro screen. Except it doesn’t go to sleep like the normal screen does. So it’ll just burn battery forever. Also, again, you can’t adjust any settings, or even see the recording times from the back – because that’s only on the status. Mind, you, all this is the same on the Hero 8 or Hero 9.

Further, it ignores the GoPro display timeout settings as well. It’ll just stay on forever, until the GoPro turns off physically, in which case two minutes later the Display Mod turns off too. But this doesn’t match the normal settings where the displays go to sleep (timeout) earlier to prevent battery drain.

As in, there’s nothing else to talk about. That’s the sum total of the GoPro Display Mod’s capabilities. It’s basically a simple non-touchscreen display that you clip on the top and it reduces the functionality of your GoPro, by only very slightly increasing one aspect (seeing yourself on the front if on the Hero 8, or slightly bigger on the Hero 9). But that’s a massive tradeoff for the functions.

Not exactly. It sounds like it’s light rain resistant, but definitely not dunk proof. Its got open ports (the USB-C port on the side for example), and openly plugs into other open ports (the micro-HDMI port on the Media Mod).

The screen measures 2” diagonal and has a resolution of 480×320, the exact same as the GoPro Hero 8 rear screen (but smaller than the Hero 9 rear screen).

No, it has its own battery that you must charge separately. Meaning, you’ll need to plug in two cables (one to your GoPro to charge that battery, and one to your Display Mod to charge that battery). The Media Mod doesn’t have an internal battery, so no need for a third cable there.

No, according to GoPro “Current hardware limitations prevent output to the Display Mod and enabling the full functionality of the Hero 9 Black back touchscreen at the same time”. Which, is exactly what I’ve seen. It will show status on the Hero 9 front display screen, just like the Hero 8 front display screen.

When GoPro announced the Display Mod, it was clearly in response to DJI. Some day we’ll find out for real whether this was in the hopper before DJI announced their OSMO Action 5 months earlier. My guess is it might have been on a napkin somewhere, but that’s about it. When GoPro held various media events leading up to the Hero 8 launch last September, the Display Mod was nowhere to be found, save under a glass case…untouchable. Yet, it was still slated to be released by December 2019 (something I was skeptical on at the time).

I’ve bought literally almost every product GoPro has made. Every action cam, almost every mount, and even that drone. Yes, the remotes and accessory cables too. And ultimately, I think this is the most disappointing thing GoPro has made. It’s as if the concept never really left the napkin stage and went through a proper productization. It’s as if someone shipped the napkin off to a manufacturer in Asia, and they shipped back this hardware with a coffee-stained half-ripped sticky note that says “KThxBye!”.

For Hero 8 users this would have helped bridge the gap, and sure, if you’ve already got the Hero 8 + Hero 8 Media Mod, and don’t care about changing settings or often changing the direction of your camera to point at something else, then maybe this is a good intermediate option for ya. But if you’ve got a Hero 8 with no Media Mod, you’re basically looking at $160 for both the Media Mod + Display Mod, which is about half-way to the cost of a Hero 9 assuming you’ve got GoPro Plus.

Even in the case of the Hero 9, there’s so much real potential for the Display Mod for its intended target audience – vloggers. Why couldn’t GoPro have put the audio levels on the screen? Why not an exposure graph? Why not additional ProTune metrics on the screen like ISO or shutter speed? Why not the ability to change zoom levels like the Hero 9 screen? Why not a 16:9 overlay when recording 4:3 content? Why not even GoPro GPS-based metrics that are available through the app, like speed? Why not dual-screen support like their actual product page originally showed? Why doesn’t it auto shut–off the screen per the GoPro screen savings settings? Why can’t I change settings when the Display Mod is enabled?

Hopefully you found this review useful. At the end of the day, I’m an athlete just like you looking for the most detail possible on a new purchase – so my review is written from the standpoint of how I used the device. The reviews generally take a lot of hours to put together, so it’s a fair bit of work (and labor of love). As you probably noticed by looking below, I also take time to answer all the questions posted in the comments – and there’s quite a bit of detail in there as well.

Summary: Is your GoPro troubling you? This post shares solutions to the 13 most common GoPro camera errors and video problems. The fixes are for all models of GoPro cameras — HERO 5, HERO 6, HERO 7 Black, HERO 7 White, HERO 7 Silver, HERO 8, Fusion, Max, and others. It also suggests the best GoPro SD card recovery and repair software for the camera"s deleted, lost or corrupt videos.

You love your GoPro camera for many reasons. First, it offers ample opportunity to shoot unique videos of premium quality. It is waterproof without casing up to 131 feet (40 m), eliminates lens fog, is super tough, shock-proof, has excellent stills, and can capture 4K 360-degree videos. But with this and much more to vouch for, your GoPro camera errors are technical hitches.

There have been complaints about GoPro video footage not playing after import to the computer, camera freezing, SD card errors, quick battery drainage, and more.

The solutions shared here are applicable for all GoPro models, including HERO5, HERO 6, HERO 7 Black, HERO 7 White, HERO 7 Silver, HERO 8, Fusion, Max, and others.

The ‘SD ERR’ or ‘NO SD’ message on your GoPro LCD screen indicates that your camera cannot properly connect with the SD card. If you view this error, ensure that the SD card is fully inserted into the camera.

Although formatting will delete all SD card videos and pictures, it will fix the issues causing the GoPro SD card error. While if you have missed taking a backup of the GoPro SD card, you can use Stellar Photo Recovery software that works on formatted memory cards and recovers photo and video files without affecting their original quality.

If your camera SD card has free space but still shows the error ‘SD card is full’ when you try to record videos, try formatting the SD card in your computer. Also, make sure your GoPro has the latest firmware by regularly updating your camera.

GoPro camera SD card may suddenly stop working if it is very old or continuously being used on multiple devices. Because of this, the SD card turns corrupt or inaccessible. However, you can attempt formatting to fix the issue or switch to a new SD card.

This problem may also occur using a lower Class SD card to store high-quality GoPro videos. Always use Class 10 high-capacity SD cards to record GoPro videos. Opt for GoPro recommended SD cards for your specific camera model is advisable.

Dust could be another reason for the SD card to stop working suddenly. Clean the memory card with a soft cloth and then try to access it in the GoPro camera again.

If you cannot access such corrupt SD card multimedia files, get an effective GoPro SD card recovery software such as Stellar Photo Recovery Premium that can restore video and photo files from corrupt SD cards.

Video playback issue is a common complaint among GoPro users. Sometimes, GoPro videos don’t play properly, freeze, or show a black screen. They are jerky or have choppy playback. There are also cases when the videos have no audio.

Most of the time, the issue is related to incompatible system support. For example, your media player or computer may not support GoPro videos recorded using high-quality HEVC settings. The other reason could be the corruption in the GoPro video.

You can do the following to fix GoPro videos playing choppy or jerky, etc.: Try to play GoPro videos in VLC Media Player. Unfortunately, Windows Media Player doesn’t play 1080p or above-resolution videos.

If the above techniques don’t fix the GoPro video playback problem, the video file is corrupt, and you need Stellar Repair for Video software to fix the playback issue.

Video loss from GoPro SD cards can be due to many reasons like accidental deletion, virus infection, interruption in file transfer, improper SD card handling while inserting or removing cards from the device, and more. In any such scenario, to recover deleted GoPro videos and photos, use a media recovery software – Stellar Photo Recovery. It scans the memory card for lost and deleted video/ photo files and restores them with their original name, date, and timestamp. Ensure you do not use the SD card after file loss, as it will overwrite the data.

If your GoPro videos are not opening and showing errors such as ‘Can’t play video,’ ‘File not found,’ error code 0xc00d36c4, etc., your file is corrupt. It can be due to obsolete video drivers on your PC, malware, improper file transfer, etc. You can repair any corrupt MP4 or MOV video file from GoPro HERO5, HERO6, Fusion, or other models using Stellar Repair for video software on your Mac or Windows PC. You may also once try to fix the GoPro video error with VLC Media Player as the player also has a video repair feature that sets minor corruption issues.

GoPro can withstand extreme temperatures. But some HERO 6 and HERO 7 users complained about the camera freezing when the device is underwater or at a high altitude. The problem is temporarily resolved by removing and reinserting the battery.

If you are facing such a problem, update the GoPro camera software. If your camera is in a frozen state at present, try to reset it by holding the ‘Mode’ button for 10 seconds. Next, hold the top ‘Shutter’ button. Then, on the HERO Session/ HERO4 Session camera. Before doing this, turn off WiFi and GPS, and remove any battery BacPac and all other connections.

HERO3 cameras usually run into this problem. You can do the following to fix the problem for any GoPro camera. First, remove and reinsert the GoPro battery. Next, press the Power button to power on the camera. The update should now be completed. If this doesn’t help, update the camera manually.

If the export fails every time at the same point, the section of that video file may be corrupt. You can trim that section from the video to fix the issue or use video repair software to repair the corrupt GoPro video.

You want to edit your video footage in GoPro Studio on your computer. But the videos won’t import into the GoPro Studio interface. You may see an error message like ‘Unable to play the file. The filemay be corrupted or in an unsupported format’or nothing happens as you select and import the video file.

Suppose you see the error ‘Unable to play the file. File may be corrupted or in an unsupported format,’ then update your Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA graphics card. Also, make sure it is compatible with GoPro Studio.

Import the file into the correct ‘Step’ in GoPro Studio. For example, MP4 files of GoPro cameras are imported in Step 1: View & Trim, whereas files converted into GoPro Cineform AVI or MOV format are imported into Step 2: Edit.

If you still face issues, check if the videos are playing in VLC Player or QuickTime to rule out any corruption issues. To repair corrupt or damaged GoPro MP4 or MOV videos, use video repair software.

It happens because you may not have adequately updated your GoPro software to function with the Battery BacPac. Update your camera software again to fix the audio problem in HERO.

Video files imported into the computer using GoPro Quik app for Windows Desktop sometimes don’t play. It may be because your MP4 video files are large, so that they couldn’t be completely transferred, or there was an abrupt interruption during file transfer due to which the videos got damaged. Use a GoPro video repair tool, and see if you can fix such corrupt MP4 video files on the computer.

Are you facing a ‘quick battery drain’ problem in your GoPro camera? It could be because of too many features on your camera at a time, like voice control, WiFi, GPS, etc. So turn off all the parts if not in use.

The very low temperature in a cold environment can also drain the battery faster, for instance, when the camera is underwater or during snowfall. So keep the camera in a warm place. Also, if your GoPro camera battery is very old, it will drain faster. So replace it with a new one.

The high-end GoPro cameras are not free from technical hiccups. To avoid GoPro camera errors and video playback issues, it is essential to keep your camera software updated and use the SD card recommended by the manufacturer for various camera models.

You can use the professional Stellar video recovery software to recover and repair corrupt videos in uncalled situations related to GoPro video loss or corruption.

GoPro, Inc.GoPro and sometimes stylized as GoPRO) is an American technology company founded in 2002 by Nick Woodman. It manufactures action cameras and develops its own mobile apps and video-editing software. Founded as Woodman Labs, Inc, the company eventually focused on the connected sports genre, developing its line of action cameras and, later, video editing software. It is based in San Mateo, California.

The company was founded by Nick Woodman in 2002.surfing trip to Australia in which he was hoping to capture high quality action photos, but could not because amateur photographers could not get close enough or buy appropriate quality equipment at reasonable prices.

On May 19, 2014, GoPro filed its Form S-1 with the SEC without specifying the number of shares or their price. The company stated that they hoped to raise at least $100 million through the sale of shares, using the money to pay off debt in full ($111 million as of March 31, 2014) and "to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, technologies or assets". They said that they planned to list on the NASDAQ stock exchange using the symbol "GPRO."

The expected price range was $21 to $24 a share; on June 25, 2014, GoPro sold 17.8 million shares to initial investors at $24 per share (totaling $427.2M).

One reason for GoPro"s decision to go public was the potential to become a media company to generate additional revenue from the content its cameras create.

Woodman worked on his first camera for two years after founding the company, eventually introducing the GoPro 35mm HERO in September 2004 at San Diego"s Action Sports Retailer trade show.

On September 28, 2017, GoPro released the HERO6 Black, which claims improved stabilization over the HERO5 models and is capable of capturing 4K video in 60 FPS.

On September 20, 2018, GoPro came out with the HERO7 Black, which apart from providing improved stabilization over HERO6 models with HyperSmooth, also featured the new form of video capturing, "TimeWarp", providing a high speed effect to the videos. HERO7 also came out with capability to stream live across multiple platforms like Facebook and YouTube .

On October 15, 2019 GoPro released the Hero8 Black, which included improved in-camera stabilization by way of Hypersmooth 2.0. The Hero8 Black introduced integrated mounting "fingers" which could be folded down for use, and was also notable for not having an easily replaceable lens available from GoPro, though a third party replacement lens kit is available from a company called Camera Butter.

In 2014, GoPro entered into discussions with DJI for a private label model built with the GoPro branding. After the failure of these negotiations, GoPro entered into an agreement with 3D Robotics (3DR) for a similar partnership based on 3DR"s flight controllers. 3DR failed to meet their agreed-upon timelines. As a result, GoPro took full control of the development process in mid-2015.

Scheduled to be released early 2016, the GoPro Karma project was delayed several times before the GoPro Karma was announced with an introduction date of October 23, 2016. The Karma was released along with newer models of the HERO5 and Session cameras and features a removable handheld stabilizer (gimbal) integrated into the design. After a few customers complained about power failure during operation, GoPro recalled Karma drones and gave customers full refunds.

In November 2017, GoPro launched the Fusion camera,omnidirectional camera which is capable of recording 360-degree footage. The Fusion was the first GoPro to feature an increased maximum resolution of 5.8K.

GoPro produces various mounting accessories for its cameras including a 3-way mount, suction cup, chest harness, jaws-type flexible clamp, dog harness, surfing mount, etc.

In April 2014, GoPro was listed by Adweek as one of the "Top 10 Best Brand Channels on YouTube" based on a combination of views, shares, comments and overall engagement.

As part of its transformation to a media company in 2014, GoPro created additional channels with GoPro content on YouTube, Virgin America, and Xbox Live.PlayStation Network in 2015.

The GoPro Wide HERO was the first model with a 170° wide-angle lens. It was released in 2008 alongside the Digital HERO5 and had the same 5MP sensor (2592 x 1944), capable of 512x384 at 30fps video with sound recording (up to 56 min. on a 2GB SD card), 5MP Photos, 10s Self Timer, 3X sequence still photo burst and Auto "Photo every 2 or 5 seconds" mode. It was powered by 2 x AAA batteries (not included in the box).

The second generation of the HERO cameras (2010–11) were branded HD HERO for their upgraded resolution, now offering up to 1080p high-definition video. With the HD HERO generation, GoPro dropped the optical viewfinder.

The HD HERO also offered an expansion port on the camera"s rear panel, branded the HERO Bus. Optional accessories included the LCD Bakpac, which offered a small monitor that displayed and played back video, and the Battery Bakpac, which doubled the battery life of the camera.

All three versions of the HERO3 come in a 30% smaller and 25% lighter package, with WiFi built in. The change of the physical dimensions of the cameras compared to the previous generations (HD HERO and HD HERO2 were physically identical) means that some accessories for HD HERO Original and HERO2 are not compatible with HERO3, so GoPro made new versions of those accessories specifically for HERO3, which mostly also were compatible with HERO3+, see below. Those new versions of accessories are usually not compatible with older Hero camera generations. However, a lot of other accessories are compatible with all HD Hero camera generations.

The Black Edition cannot record at 25/30 fps in 720p and WVGA resolutions; it can only record at very fast frame rates in those resolutions. This is a deliberate firmware limitation, as the manufacturer does not expect that this high-end camera model will be used at these lower resolutions and frame rates.

The HERO3+ camera models claim dramatically improved low light performance and have a waterproof enclosure which is 20% lighter and 15% smaller than the HERO3"s, according to the GoPro website. The HERO3+ camera housing is 20% smaller than the HERO3. The cameras are claimed to have improved image sharpness (close focus down to 7" vs about 3 ft on the HERO3, at the expense of distant focus which is slightly less sharp

The HERO4 Black Edition still has a 12 megapixel (MP) CMOS and a f/2.8 fixed maximum aperture and focus free. It adds Bluetooth connectivity, Highlight tag, Protune Available for photo and a new processor claimed by GoPro to be twice as fast as that of the HERO3+ Black Edition, doubling the frame rates in most resolutions. The HERO4 Black Edition can record 4K UHD video (3840×2160) at a frame rate of 24, 25 and 30 fps.Wi-Fi disabled at 4K/30, GoPro claims the HERO4 Black Edition battery life to be 65 minutes, increasing to a maximum of 1h 50" at 720p/240.

The HERO4 Silver Edition is basically a HERO3 Black Edition with the addition of a micro speaker,touchscreen display, Protune for photo and highlight tag (the first GoPro with this), a lower clocked Cortex-A9 and missing the Black Edition"s integrated analog-to-digital converter which supports a wider variety of professional low-sensitivity external microphones.4K video (3840×2160), but it supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and contains the sameAmbarella Inc. A9system on a chip (SoC) as in the HERO4 Black.

The HERO4 models maintain the H.264 video codec of previous versions and MP4 file formats. GoPro claims the mono microphone in both the Black and Silver Editions has twice the dynamic range of that in the HERO3+, and that the HERO4 Black and Silver Editions have improved low-light performance.

In September 2014, GoPro released an entry level camera named simply "HERO", priced at $130, alongside the HERO4 Black and HERO4 Silver. It is built into a waterproof housing, unlike the HERO4 line.

The GoPro HERO (2014) can capture 5mp still images and has a 5fps burst option. It is able to record 1080P at 30 or 25fps and 720P at 60 or 50fps on to a MicroSD card up to 32GB. It has an LCD non touch display on the front and is waterproof down to 40m.

In June 2015, the company started to sell the GoPro HERO+LCD, which provides video recording at 1080p at 60 fps and 8 megapixel photos. The HERO+LCD is also built into a waterproof housing.

The HERO6 Black was introduced on September 28, 2017.HEVC video recording at up to 60 fps and 1080p at up to 240 fps, automatic upload of footage to cloud, voice controls and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. It was the first GoPro sporting GoPro"s custom system on a chip (SoC) the GP1.

The HERO7 White, HERO7 Silver and HERO7 Black were announced and released in September 2018, as the seventh-generation action camera series from GoPro.

By contrast, the HERO7 Black was introduced at the high-end level and primarily encompasses the features of the HERO6 Black with major improvements. The HERO7 Black introduced a heavily improved electronic image stabilisation known as "HyperSmooth" video stabilization, which GoPro has advertised heavily as "Gimbal-Like", as its primary improvement.

On February 28, 2019, GoPro released HERO7 Black in a new "dusk white" color. This is a limited edition and it has the same specs as in regular version and differs just in color.

The HERO8 Black essentially contained the former features of the HERO7 Black, however improved on certain functions. Most notably, the "HyperSmooth" feature introduced in the HERO7 Black was improved on and named "HyperSmooth 2.0", also resulting in an improvement of the TimeWarp feature introduced in the HERO7 Black. The HERO8 Black also improved the image quality, improving the HDR functions of the camera to allow HDR to assist the SuperPhoto function of the camera that automatically chooses what image processing to use such as high dynamic range (HDR). GoPro also reintroduced the field-of-view (FOV) functionality as, "Digital Lenses" which retains the original SuperView, Wide, Narrow, Linear FOV settings. Moreover, live-streaming now streams in 1080p instead of the HERO7 Black"s 720p and the RAW imaging functionality has now been expanded for all photo modes.

The HERO8 Black largely introduced several new functions into the camera. Physically, the HERO8 Black now incorporates the connecting prongs that are used to connect accessories, directly onto the camera. Originally, the cameras would only be able to access the prongs if the cameras utilised either the frames (for cameras HERO5 to HERO7) or the protective cases for HERO4 and before. Moreover, the GoPro logo moved under the LCD screen to make way for extra microphones. More additions to the camera most notably were part of the software aspects of the camera. These included an option to switch between various settings presets, including standard, activity, cinematic and action shots and adjusting on-screen shortcuts of the user interface. Most notably as part of software, was the introduction of the night-lapse video, which similar to the time-lapse video mode, automatically stitches the frames captured by the camera at set intervals, however with the addition of improved low-light performance.

The HERO8 Black also attempts to address vloggers who may wish to use the GoPro in such a manner. As such, GoPro has also introduced an external accessory known as the "Media Mod" which includes a USB Type-C port for supplying power to external microphones and accessories, a micro-HDMI port and a 3.5mm microphone port. Moreover, the accessory includes a mount to connect either external microphones, LEDs or an LCD screen.

The HERO9 Black essentially contained the former features of the HERO8 Black, however, improved on certain functions. Most notably, the "HyperSmooth" feature introduced in the HERO7 Black and refined in HERO8 Black was improved on and named "HyperSmooth 3.0". It also features a max resolution of 5K for video and 20M for photos and adds a front-facing 1.4-inch color "selfie" screen.

The HERO10 Black essentially contained the former features of the HERO9 Black, however, improved on certain functions. Most notably, the "HyperSmooth" feature introduced in the HERO7 Black and refined in HERO8 Black was improved on and named "HyperSmooth 4.0".

GoPro released the 3D HERO system in April 2011, which coupled two HD HERO cameras via a synchronization cable in a single housing to form a stereoscopic 3D camera. One of the cameras is used in upside-down mode.anaglyph to be viewed wearing red-cyan glasses.

In 2014, GoPro released an update as the Dual HERO system, which provides similar functionality using two HERO3+ Black edition cameras. The updated Dual HERO BacPac sync/link cable now has an asymmetric design: the right or primary camera (viewed with the lens facing away from the user) is larger than the left (secondary) camera, and the left camera is used in upside-down mode.

The GoPro GP1 is their own System-on-Chip with the main task of image processing. It replaces the earlier used Ambarella SoC"s and launched in the GoPro HERO6.Socionext.
