GoPro action camera fans are super excited. GoPro today has posted a teaser where we can clearly see they are hinting at a major announcement on September 23, 2025, at 6:00 AM PT. As usual in the traditional teaser-style video, there are two cameras hidden in the silhouettes and obviously a tagline “9.23.25 | 6 AM PT | gopro.com.” Now we do know exactly what’s coming next from GoPro on September 23, so let’s explore that.
Lit HERO and MAX 2 Leaks, Specs, and What to Expect
A source recently sent an image, better to say a screenshot of accidentally uploaded upcoming GoPro cameras from the GoPro official website. Obviously, the camera in the middle, the HERO 13 Black, is already available from September 2024, but the most interesting part is the camera on the extreme left—it is the upcoming camera and the name is GoPro HERO Lit. It’s an update to the GoPro 4K camera, now with LED lights in the front. The camera on the extreme right side is GoPro MAX 2, a 360 camera from GoPro and an updated version of the original GoPro MAX, now coming with a large 1-inch sensor, and we have already shared a lot of details related to the camera in our previous post.
GoPro Lit HERO: A Bright, Affordable Entry into 4K Action
GoPro wants to expand its consumer base, and obviously, that’s why they are introducing a budget and reliable 4K action camera—the GoPro Lit. Without a doubt, the GoPro series already has a very established HERO lineup, but at the same time, they have to expand their consumer base and specifically create new products against the upcoming ultra-compact 4K POV cameras like the Osmo Nano, which is also about to arrive on the same day, this September 23, as well as Insta360 GO Ultra. Now take a look at the set of specifications we have related to the upcoming GoPro Lit HERO camera.
Rumored Specs and Features:
- Video Resolution: 4K at 30fps, 2.7K at 60fps for fluid slow-motion, and 1080p at 120fps.
- Photo Resolution: 12MP stills, loaded with burst modes for action shots.
- Low-Light Enhancements: New updated sensor, LED lights in the front of the camera body for brighter footage in dim conditions, and HDR support.
- Stabilization: Basic HyperSmooth technology to minimize shake during hiking or biking.
- Design and Durability: Waterproof to 10 meters (33 feet) without a case, compact size.
- Battery Life: Up to 2 hours of continuous recording.
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for quick app pairing and sharing via the Quik app.
- Price and Availability: Expected around $199–$299.
- Pre-orders start post-announcement, with shipping in October 2025.
GoPro MAX 2: Elevating 360 Video with 8K Resolution and AI Tools
The star of the show, the MAX 2, is the latest 360 camera from GoPro and offers 8K video recording capability. We have been covering the information on the MAX 2 for more than a few weeks and have published a lot of details related to the upcoming camera. Now it’s time to have a quick look at what’s coming inside the MAX 2.
Key Rumored Specs and Features:
| Category | Details |
| Video Resolution | 8K 360-degree at 30fps, 5.7K at 60fps, with single-lens mode up to 4K. |
| Lenses and Design | Replaceable glass lenses for easy repairs and customization; rugged, waterproof build to 5 meters; classic GoPro mounting with 1/4-inch thread. |
| Stabilization | Advanced FlowState-like EIS with horizon lock for seamless footage in extreme sports. |
| Processor and AI | New GP chip for faster processing; AI-powered Reframe tools for automatic subject tracking and dynamic editing in the Quik app. |
| Battery and Heat Management | 1,800mAh battery; improved cooling system with vents for longer recording sessions without overheating. |
| Audio and Connectivity | Four microphones for spatial audio; Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS for geotagging. |
| Additional Features | Camera FX effects, cloud integration for editing, and compatibility with GoPro mods. |
| Price and Availability | $400–$500, undercutting rivals like the Insta360 X5 ($549). Expected immediate availability post-reveal. |
Specifically, we have seen that GoPro has kept the design of the upcoming MAX 2 camera; to make it compatible for High-Res recording and manage internal heat, they have updated the design carefully by adding heat sink layers to the outer body of the camera, which makes it durable as well as heat-resistant at the same time. At the same time, GoPro’s CEO already hinted at the two different sets of camera announcements within 2025, and now we have it.
GoPro CEO Nick Woodman has recently said in an interview at Oppenheimer’s 28th Annual Technology Conference: – In the commentary, the company CEO noted:
“We expect to introduce two new cameras, including our Max 2 360 camera,” among the list of priorities for the rest of 2025.
It also silently indicates that the HERO 14 announcement has been delayed for now, and maybe it is coming sometime in the first quarter of 2026. As per the initial set of information, GoPro was expected to announce only two cameras in late 2025, but again, stay tuned for more information. If anything arises on our desk or message box, we will post it as soon as possible.
