Anyone know if there will be a new gopro version coming out soon, or during 2016 ?
Or updated versions of the current lineup ?
The old gopro hero 4 versions had some problems or at least users reporting of overheating,
but with these new Ambarella chipsets it looks like this could be a thing of the past, so nice
that they have been able to move to 14nm chip size and such a low power consumption, as the
old gopro hero 4 chips had 32nm and consumed much more power.

I am thinking
Gopro Hero 5 Black, with Ambarella H2 chipset
Gopro Hero 5 Silver, with Ambarella H12 chipset
Just like the current gopro hero 4 lineup, but updated hardware, and perhaps some better
dashcam functionality. Also these new chips does have image stabilization.
Me personally would like to see a extra micro USB port with a special adapter cable
that would give you microphone input and headphone output. Nice if you want
better sound and using it for recording video and monitoring the sound being recorded.
At least the current versions of the gopro can take external microphone with the adapter.
Better than nothing I guess, and I do hope they at least keep that with the new versions
coming out soon.

Looks like we have to wait for a long time, as I guess gopro does not want to introduce another
low price camera. Seems we will have to wait until the second half of 2016 before these new
products are out.
