GoPro Lit — Compact action cam with built-in LED (Pre-order $270)
GoPro has introduced the Lit Hero, a compact entry-level action camera that borrows the Hero form factor but adds a built-in LED for on-camera face lighting. With improved video capability and a price between the standard Hero and the high-end Hero 13, the Lit could be a great option for vloggers and creators looking for a small, rugged B-cam.
Key features
- Built-in LED light for better face illumination in low light or shadows — useful for vlogging and on-the-go streaming.
- 4K video at up to 60 fps (allows 2x slow-motion at 4K), plus 4:3 capture for easy vertical/social resizing.
- Social-ready 12MP 4:3 photo mode.
- Waterproof to 16 ft / 5 m and rugged for action use.
- Uses GoPro’s Enduro battery (over ~100 minutes of 4K60 video per charge under ideal conditions; LED usage will reduce runtime).
- Pre-order price: $270. Shipping starts Oct 21.
Who it’s for
The built-in light and front record button make this attractive for vloggers, creators who need quick face lighting without carrying extra gear, or as a compact B-cam for action shooters. It lacks a front display, which might be a dealbreaker for some selfie-vloggers.
