GoPro’s Hero6 Black captures your wipeouts in even more glorious 4K

Action cams have been a little overshadowed by their flying cousins, the drones, in recent times. But here to grab back some of the limelight is GoPro’s highly evolved Hero6 Black (£499, gopro.com), its new flagship crash-cam. This Hero5 successor can now capture 4K at a buttery smooth 60fps and 1080p at an impressive 240fps, making it perfect for your slow-mo highlight reels. That’s twice the rate of your mate’s Hero5 Black. With improved image stabilisation and a new GoPro-made processor keeping the action cam running as slickly as its footage, other cams will have a tough job trying to muscle it off your handlebars.

About

Mark's first review for Stuff was the Nokia N-Gage in 2004. Luckily, his career lasted a little longer than the taco phone, and he's been trying to figure out how gadgets fit back into their boxes ever since. While his 'Extreme Mark Wilson' persona was retired following a Microsoft skydiving incident, this means he can often be spotted in the wilds of South West London testing action cams, drones and smartwatches, and occasionally cursing at them.
