Come home and your footage starts uploading to GoPro’s cloud storage service, no futzing with cards and cables. As its fortunes hang in the balance, GoPro earns my respect for finally making a stand-alone camera that’s at least as smart as a smartphone. Anyone familiar with the Hero 4 Black camera will be happy to know the new Black comes with GPS, and it is waterproof without any external housing.
