Those who are familiar with GoPro’s naming conventions will know instantly that the Hero+ is an updated model of the entry level Hero action camera that GoPro released in fall last year.

The latest model has a built-in touchscreen LCD, a feature which was previously limited to the Hero 4 Silver. However unlike the Silver, the LCD can’t be removed from the waterproof case on the Hero+.
