For GoPro Hero 5 fans who are eagerly waiting for its release, fresh reports suggest the upcoming action camera will be released as far as October, just in the time for the holidays. The Karma drone on the other hand, will be launched a few months before the camera's arrival.
According to Christian Times, the Karma drone might be the reason behind the GoPro Hero 5's delayed released. Since it's the company's first ever drone camera, it's anticipated that GoPro will make a big deal out of the launch.
The Karma drone is anticipated to hit the market shelves in the first half of 2016. Nevertheless, there is still no official announcement from GoPro Inc. with regards to the details of the release. Reports, however, are saying that it would likely be in May or June. If the rumored schedule is accurate, Hero 5 patrons are expected to see the upcoming GoPro Hero 5 by October. With this, consumers could definitely expect the Hero 5 before the year ends, a few months after the roll out of Karma drone.
When it comes with the specs and features, MNR Daily noted that the GoPro Hero 5 will be expanding its water-proofing capabilities, allowing the device to be submerged up to a depth of 60 meters. This will be a very significant improvement to the underwater capabilities of its predecessor, the GoPro Hero 4. This will also make the action camera a handy companion for divers, diving enthusiast, and underwater photographers and videographers.
The GoPro Hero 5 is predicted to be able to shoot video at 8K resolution which will outdo all the other high-end action cameras in the market who are still offering 4K resolution. Other speculations suggest that the sport camera could also be arriving with dual lenses for users to capture their own 3D images and videos.
Aside from the information about the GoPro Hero 5 and Karma drone, Day Herald reported that the company also confirmed that the sale of some existent GoPro cameras in the market will stop altogether from the coming month of April. These include the Hero, Hero Plus and the Hero Plus LCD.
Nonetheless, there is still no exact release date for the GoPro Hero 5 and Karma Drone. However, it is expected for the company to reveal every specific of these devices as the release nears.
