GoPro introduced two new action cameras into its line-up last night including the 2024 iteration of compact Hero camera. Said to be the company’s smallest and most affordable 4K camera to date, it is now readily available for pre-order in Malaysia.
GoPro Hero (2024) Malaysian pricing
Here is where things may get a little bit confusing. On the main page of GoPro Malaysia’s official Shopee Mall store, there is a banner which says that the new Hero (2024) is available for pre-order at RM999.
However, depending on the platform that you use to visit Shopee (web or mobile), the price for the Hero (2024) might be listed as RM1,149 instead. Don’t panic just yet – all you need to do is make sure to use the store’s RM150 discount voucher to reduce the price tag to RM999.
Alternatively, you may place your pre-order at authorised GoPro dealers. One such example is Shahshinki who also listed the new Hero (2024) at RM999.
GoPro Hero (2024) quick specs
Weighing at just 86g, the Hero (2024) is quite tiny although still larger than the Hero Session models of yesteryear. The 4K action camera is equipped with a 12MP sensor alongside a 15mm f/2.3 lens and a hydrophobic cover glass that can be swapped out if it gets damaged.
Despite its tiny footprint, there is still a 1.76-inch touchscreen on its back. In terms of battery life, GoPro claimed that the camera’s 1255mAh built-in battery can deliver up to 1 hour and 40 minutes of recording time with the highest video setting.
Furthermore, the company also said that the Hero (2024) has been designed to withstand water depths of up to 4.87m (16ft). In Malaysia, the new camera is expected to be available at retail stores starting from 23 September.
