It is not made for diving, but the Fusion is waterproof up to 16 feet. Of course it has all the usual technical goodies – Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope and compass, but one of the best features is image stabilization, always a big help if you’re walking around or riding on something. It’s not all about video, it will capture 360 degree still images at 18mp and will do also do time-lapse. You will be limited to 30 fps at 5.2k but can shoot 3K at 60 fps. The Fusion can shoot in 5.2k resolution, which is nice, and also records audio in 360 degrees so your sound will follow the video. It does use the traditional GoPro mount which is a plus if you have a box of mounts and adapters you have collected over the years, like I do, from your other GoPros, or if your new to GoPro, you can get the ¼-20 adaptor mount and put it on whatever you want. It uses different batteries but than would be expected due to the additional power needed to run two cameras. To connect to the Fusion, there is a USB Type-C connector, which is the same as all the newer GoPro models. Like most 360 cameras, it is best controlled through an app on your smart phone. The outside has almost the same basic layout of two buttons and a small menu screen.


Looking like a Hero 6 on steroids the Fusion is has the signature square look that GoPro has used since the company started. The introductory price, $699, is a bit higher than competitors, but it might just be worth it. The long awaited 360 camera from GoPro is almost here.
