Back in June, GoPro unveiled the $300 Hero+ LCD,  but the cheaper Hero+ is essentially the same camera minus an LCD screen. The Hero+ captures 1080p60 and 720p60 video, as well as 8MP still photos. Like its fellow Hero brethren, the new action cam has Time Lapse and Burst capture modes, is integrated into a GoPro waterproof housing, and allows users to connect the GoPro mobile app through Wi-Fi.

Here's a promo video to explain some of the key features:

GoPro also announced that they've dropped the price of the Hero4 Session from $400 to $300. That's some good news considering the fact that the HERO4 Session is half the size of the original HERO4, 40% lighter and only shoots at 1080p at 60fps or 720p at 100fps. So, you're getting a mixture of a bargain on some great features and a price adjustment for some not so great features.
