GoPro makes some pretty fancy cameras aimed at pro-level users, and the new Lit Hero … well, it ain't one of them. It does deliver the basic goods, however, and it is the first-ever Hero to feature its own onboard fill light.

Although GoPro's Hero actioncams have featured digital image stabilization for quite some time, the company hasn't recently offered gimbals … but now it's doing so again. The Fluid Pro AI 3-axis gimbal not only tracks subjects, it also packs a light.

It's been six years since GoPro refreshed its 360-degree action cam, and the new model brings plenty of new features and thoughtfully updated hardware. The Max2 promises 21% more resolution than than competing models, and easily replaceable lenses.

Insta360 flipped the switch on action cams when it first released the first 360-degree One RS in 2022. Now, the company has just upgraded its flagship line with the all-new X5. But for a camera that was already near-flawless, what could it have done more?

The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is the latest action camera on the market. The successor to the Ace Pro gets quite a few features including Leica-engineered color profiles, a dedicated Pro imaging chip, 8K video quality, and most importantly, AI processing.

What do you want from an action cam? It should be rugged, reliable, and able to capture great video and audio. But that’s just the bare minimum for DJI and its all-new Action 5 Pro – a serious big hitter that might just displace GoPro from its throne.

With interchangeable lenses, a magnetic mount, and a magnetic charger, GoPro Hero 13’s biggest upgrades are on the outside. But that’s not to say nothing's new on the inside; it gets a bigger battery with new power delivery and is priced at US$399.

If you're paying up to $550 for a GoPro, you'd better be sure that you're allowing it to deliver the best footage possible. The ActionBox Cine housing is designed to make that happen, with an adjustable lens shade, quick-mount filters and more.

A new AI-based system allows coral reefs to be 3D-mapped faster and easier than ever before. It could prove integral to saving threatened reefs, by letting scientists study them both onsite and at their computers in their labs.

GoPro has taken the wraps off the Hero 11 Black actioncam, which has been joined by a Creator Edition and a Mini version. All come with a larger image sensor, improved stabilization, and simpler operation.

If you own an actioncam, you've probably at least thought of mounting it on a drone. Unfortunately, though, many of the cameras are too heavy to go airborne … which is where the GoPro Hero10 Black Bones is designed to come in.

While the GoPro Hero is still pretty much the name in actioncams, it can be fiddly to operate, plus its battery life may be too short. The new Volta is designed to address those shortcomings, combining one-handed controls with a battery pack.
