GoPro put a light on its Hero action camera to illuminate your adventures, making it easier to capture epic moments even after dark. The new GoPro Lit Hero comes with built-in LEDs, performance upgrades, and a design perfect for creators who don’t want to carry extra lighting gear.
Built-In LEDs For Nighttime Recording
The GoPro Lit Hero adds a cluster of four bright LEDs next to its lens. While GoPro hasn’t confirmed the exact brightness, the LEDs are noticeably stronger than your phone’s flashlight. This makes it ideal for nighttime hiking, biking, or underwater exploration.
An included diffuser lets you soften the light for close-up shots, preventing harsh shadows and giving your footage a natural glow.
Price And Availability
The GoPro Lit Hero is available for preorder at $269.99 and starts shipping on October 21st. For comparison, the standard Hero still costs $199.99, making the Lit Hero about $70 more. At just 93 grams, it’s only slightly heavier but comes with significant upgrades.
Performance Boost Over The Standard Hero
Beyond the LEDs, the Lit Hero improves recording performance with 4K/60fps video compared to the standard Hero’s 4K/30fps. The battery life allows up to 100 minutes of shooting at full quality with the LEDs off, making it more versatile for longer sessions.
Designed For Adventure And Underwater Use
Like the standard Hero, the Lit Hero is waterproof up to 16 feet. While the light isn’t powerful enough for deep-sea dives, it shines in close-range scenarios—like lighting up faces, trails, or underwater subjects. It’s a practical upgrade for creators who often shoot in dim or unpredictable lighting.
Why The Lit Hero Stands Out
By adding built-in illumination, GoPro has solved a common pain point for action camera users: carrying an extra light source. Whether you’re capturing late-night skateboarding, camping adventures, or underwater shots, the Lit Hero simplifies the process while enhancing video quality.
