Amazon is having another one-day-only deal on a GoPro camera. This time they're slashing $150 off the price of the GoPro HERO+.
It's not the newest member of the GoPro family, but the HERO+ is still capable of taking full HD footage in impossible-to-capture-otherwise situations.
Like every other GoPro, the HERO+ is small, light, and durable. It can capture both 720P and full 1080P HD footage at 60 FPS (frames per second). When recording action-oriented video, how many frames per second a camera can capture becomes important. The sweet spot is 60fps.
On the durability front, the HERO+ is waterproof up to 131 feet, and comes in an enclosure meant to withstand both drops on hard surfaces and dust. This camera is meant to be used in places where you wouldn't normally take a camera. Heck, you can buy a strap for it, and attach it to your head while snowboarding or skiing if you'd like to.
The HERO+ has two standout tech features that make it a compelling choice for on-the-go, action-oriented people. The first is its touchscreen. Rather than fumbling around with small buttons on a small camera, all of the settings on this camera can be toggled using touch.
The second feature is that the HERO+ has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi built in. That means your giftee can post their latest stunt to the internet straight from the camera. They also have the option of connecting the HERO+ to a computer, where they can edit together a montage or add extra effects.
Normally $300, Amazon has slashed the price of the HERO+ in half, making it a very attractive potential present. If you know an active person who would rather show you their latest trick than just tell you about it, this is a deal you won't want to miss.
GoPro HERO+, $149.99 (originally $299.99), available at Amazon
