it will not have 60 fps. i emailed gopro yesterday and it will not include 60 fps. this is the exact email i got.

Hi Jesse,

Thank you for contacting GoPro!

Unfortunately as we are still developing the HD HERO 960, there is no official release date at this time.

It will not be able to shoot in 60fps, just in 30fps.

We sincerely apologize for the lack of information.

Many Thanks,

GoPro Support

30fps looks like shit in slowmo compared to 60fps.
get the 1080 HD one now if you plan on doing any serious editing.

The GoPro HD was the best purchase I've ever made. I take it skiing and surfing and its go good, easy to use and produces a great picture.

Hmmm I'm not trying to lie to people but I also emailed gopro and this is what I got

Update for Case #60999 - "New gopro 960hd"

Hello Tanner,

The HD HERO 960 will have the original 4 resolution modes (to include 720p at 60fps).

Unfortunately, we do not have a release date for the HD HERO 960 but anticipate it's release in the fall.

Let us know if you have any further questions.


Many Thanks,


GoPro Support

but it won't include 1080p, hence the name go pro 960, but 1080p was one of the original 4
