It is possible that GoPro Hero 5 will have an option for an even better underwater shooting and recording capability to distinguish it among all the other GoPro action cameras and make it a cut above the rest that GoPro has been saying all along.
There was a recent test review of the underwater capability of one GoPro Hero action camera in a diving expedition over at the Orkney Islands in Scotland. Based on the test, it showed that the device performed well at a depth of 40 meters, but it got a little compromised when it reached the 41-meter mark.
Apparently, there was a need to replace the housing of the GoPro Hero action camera to the dive housing but the change should have been made out of the water and not under.
Much has been said about the powerful capabilities of the upcoming GoPro Hero 5 action camera with the focus primarily on its capability to record 4K videos, shoot in 3D, and feature an 8K resolution.
Those three major attributes alone would put the GoPro Hero 5 a cut above the rest of all other cameras in the market today. It will likewise effectively position the device as the most powerful videographic equipment in the world, as what GoPro has envisioned it to be.
