GoPro has released the HD Hero 960 bundle. Unlike the company’s flagship 1080p HD Hero, which costs $300, the new device is priced at $179.99. What buyers give up is resolution, as it’s now capped at 1280×960, and no Hero Bus expansion port, so users can’t connect external displays or batteries.
The camera can record at the 960p or 720p resolution at 30FPS, or at 848×480 at 60fps. The new cam still has the hands-free five-megapixel timelapse photo mode. The camera’s clear housing can be submerged and keep the camera dry at depths of up to 180 feet.
