A video possibly showing the new touchscreen on the highly anticipated GoPro Hero 5 action camera has been apparently leaked today. Providing a teaser of what we may be able to expect to see when GoPro finally announces their next-generation action camera and follow-up to the already available GoPro 4.
The brief teaser video posted to Vimeo and shared via Reddit, apparently shows a quick look at the navigation and new touch-based interface that is expected to be incorporated into the rear panel of the GoPro Hero 5 action camera.
Enhanced User Interface
The leaked video reveals a significant upgrade in the user interface of the GoPro Hero 5. Unlike its predecessor, the Hero 4, which relied heavily on physical buttons for navigation, the Hero 5 seems to embrace a more modern, touch-based interface. This change is likely to make the camera more user-friendly, allowing for quicker and more intuitive access to settings and features. The touchscreen interface could also mean that users will have an easier time framing their shots and reviewing footage on the go.
Potential Features and Improvements
While the video is brief, it hints at several potential features and improvements that could be part of the GoPro Hero 5. For instance, the touchscreen interface suggests that the camera might come with enhanced menu options, making it easier to switch between different shooting modes such as time-lapse, slow motion, and burst mode. Additionally, the touchscreen could offer more precise control over settings like exposure, white balance, and frame rate.
Another exciting possibility is the integration of voice control. Although not shown in the video, voice control has been a growing trend in action cameras and could be a natural fit for the Hero 5. Imagine being able to start and stop recording, take photos, or change settings simply by speaking commands—this would be a game-changer for adventurers and athletes who need to keep their hands free.
As you would expect, GoPro has made no comment as to whether the footage is legitimate or not, so we will need to wait a while longer before knowing exactly what the GoPro Hero 5 camera will look like and its specifications. But let’s hope we don’t have to wait too long and GoPro will finally unveil the new camera. Until then, check out the leaked video below for a quick teaser to whet your appetite.
Community Reactions and Speculations
The GoPro community has been buzzing with excitement and speculation since the video leak. On Reddit, users have been discussing potential new features and improvements that could come with the Hero 5. Some users are hopeful for better battery life, which has been a common complaint with previous models. Others are speculating about the possibility of improved image stabilization, which would make the Hero 5 even more appealing for extreme sports enthusiasts.
There is also talk about the camera’s potential connectivity features. With the rise of live streaming, many are hoping that the Hero 5 will offer seamless integration with social media platforms, allowing users to broadcast their adventures in real-time. This would not only make the camera more versatile but also more relevant in today’s social media-driven world.
