Not for sensors, but rather for connecting to your mobile phone. They also added in the WiFi and Bluetooth Smart compatibility. With the HERO+ LCD, the display problem is now solved, with this new $299USD offering including the LCD built into the back of it. That meant that you couldn’t take it out of the case, which in turn meant you couldn’t add in any additional rear-attaching accessories such as the extra battery packs or LCD screen. You’ll likely remember that the entry level GoPro HERO was $129US, and had a non-removable external case. Well, and connectivity over WiFi and Bluetooth Smart. The new GoPro HERO+ LCD is sorta exactly as the name implies: It’s the 2014 GoPro HERO…plus…an LCD screen. The new cameras are apparently already on the way to me, so I’ll likely have a better hands-on first-impression of them soon (and then likely an in-depth review some period later). While I normally don’t post about products unless I’ve had hands-on time, I’m also keenly aware of how many e-mails/tweets/etc I’d get if I didn’t post about this one. And don’t forget that even more crazy 16-camera virtual reality mount they built for Google. And that’s all before we talk about an apparent upcoming software update to start cloud sync of GoPro files to some sort of still unannounced internet service. Last week they announced both their intentions of launching a drone early next year, as well as their crazy 6-camera spherical mount system. It also bookends a rather busy week of announcements for the company. This marks the first time GoPro has done an ‘off-cycle’ release of a new camera product, as the company has historically released new action cams in the September/October timeframe. Today GoPro announced its latest action camera, the GoPro HERO+ LCD.
