What we like about GoPro HERO+ LCD

  • Built-in 2-inch touchscreen makes framing and menu navigation easy
  • Records smooth Full HD 1080p video at 60 fps
  • Rugged integrated housing is waterproof to 40 metres
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support app control and sharing
  • Simple features such as QuikCapture and SuperView suit beginners

What we don't like about GoPro HERO+ LCD

  • The camera cannot be removed from its protective housing
  • The built-in battery cannot be replaced in the field
  • No electronic image stabilization
  • No HDMI output or 4K recording

Verdict

The GoPro HERO+ LCD is an entry-level action camera featuring a built-in 2-inch touchscreen display for easy framing and settings navigation, an 8-megapixel CMOS sensor, and the capability to record Full HD video at 1080p or 720p at 60 frames per second. Main advantages include its rugged, integrated housing that provides waterproof protection down to 131 feet (40 meters), dual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for effortless remote control and sharing via mobile apps, and user-friendly features like QuikCapture, SuperView, and Auto Low Light modes. However, the camera suffers from notable design limitations, as it cannot be removed from its polycarbonate outer shell, lacks electronic image stabilization, omits an HDMI output, and features a built-in, non-removable battery that cannot be swapped in the field.
