GoPro has unveiled two new action cameras – the Hero6 Black and Fusion – that offers an all-new level of quality as well as a way to capture stunning 360-degree videos so you’ll never miss a moment.
GoPro has introduced a new processor, improved image stabilisation and a faster QuikStories app that makes it even easier to share short videos.
GoPro also unveiled new mounts and accessories as well as new modes for the GoPro Karma drone.

When you add the GoPro Hero6 Black to the Karma’s drone you can enjoy new features with the drone including two new auto shot paths – Follow and Watch.
Follow frames you in the shot and follows as long as you’re holding the Karma controller. Watch will keep whoever is holding the Karma controller in frame as it hovers.
Cable Cam has also been updated and now allows pilots to set 10 waypoints while Look Up Tilt can now tilt the drone upwards to look above the horizon.
