GoPro HERO6


Although there are a fair few contenders in the wearable camera market these days, GoPro are still the undisputed leaders, and with the release of their sixthgeneration camera, things look set to continue that way.

The HERO6 Black may not look any different to the previous model, but inside it’s been given a serious boost, in the shape of a new ‘GP1’ processor that’s twice as fast as before. This means you can record 4K Ultra HD video at 60 frames per second, and shoot 1,080p Full HD footage at 240fps, for incredible slow-mo results.

GoPro say the faster processor also improves image stabilisation and performance in low light and at night. The new camera is also claimed to interact faster with their phone app, making it easier to upload footage and improving the usability of the ‘QuikStories’ editing function.

Some of the features of the HERO5 have been retained, such as the touchscreen interface, voice-activated controls and waterproofing down to 10m. The new camera costs $150 more but is compatible with all the same accessories.

Price $750

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.
