What is new from the HERO6 Black (from DCR):

– Added HyperSmooth enhanced stabilization (sorta halfway between previous stabilization and a gimbal)

– Added ability to smooth 4K/60fps footage with HyperSmooth (previous limit was 4K/30)

– Added 1GB of RAM to use for processing (which is where most of these features come from)

– Uses exact same GoPro GP1 image/graphics processor and associated camera optics as Hero 6 Black

– Added TimeWarp for hyperlapse style video time lapse

– Completely revamped user interface on back of camera

– Added new portrait mode for videos/photos (similar to taking video/photos with your phone in portrait mode)

– Added ability for both front and rear menus to rotate to portrait orientation

– Added short clips option (specifies an automatic 15s or 30s recording duration and provides a visual countdown)

– Added photo self timer option (such as 3s or 10s duration until a photo is taken)

– Added SuperPhoto (somewhat replaces HDR photos in past, but handles movement better)

– Fixed microphone distortion related issues (tries to reduce audio tunneling type sounds)

– Added Apple MFI integration (for iOS users, makes pairing/connectivity far cleaner/faster)

– Added Livestreaming (720p livestream via WiFi access point or cellular to Facebook or RTMP output)

– Added GoPro Karma Grip/Gimbal and GoPro Karma Drone support

– Added Speed/Map/G-Force/Track overlays directly to mobile app (no need for desktop anymore)

– Added new resolutions (1440p/120fps, 960p/240fps, 960p/120fps, 720p/240fps)

– Added two new voice commands (GoPro Capture and GoPro Stop Capture, which just starts whatever mode you’re in)

– Added on-camera scene detection for white balance automation. Can now detect underwater/snow/urban/beach/forest situations (plus face/smiles)

– Added ability to enable/disable slow-mo on preview playback on camera itself

– Changed edge of lens cover to tapered, which should minimize scratched look of lens edging

– Re-instated ability to change GoPro name in app/WiFi pairing. Finally!

– Set the default video mode to 1440/60p (in 4:3, yes, for real)
