Action Camera Appraisal

GoPro Hero Action Camera in Waterproof Housing

The item is a GoPro Hero action camera, encased within a clear, rigid plastic waterproof housing. The camera itself is a rectangular block, primarily gray in color, featuring the prominent 'GoPro' logo and 'Be a HERO.' slogan on its rear surface. Below the branding, there's a detailed information panel that includes regulatory marks such as 'FC CE' and 'EAC,' indicating compliance with various international standards. A visible serial number, 'C3111024015018,' is present on a white sticker, along with 'MADE IN CHINA' text. The housing securely encloses the camera, providing protection, and appears to be made of a durable, clear polycarbonate or similar plastic, allowing visibility of the camera's rear display and information. Despite the clear housing, reflections distort some areas, but the overall condition appears good with no significant visible damage or cracks to either the camera or its housing. There are subtle markings on the clear plastic that suggest minor wear from handling, but no deep scratches or functional impairments. The camera features a vertical slot, likely for a battery or microSD card, and another smaller port at the bottom right. Text indicating 'Quick Capture Mode:' with instructions like 'Video - Short press shutter' and 'Time Lapse - Long press shutter' are visible on the camera body, suggesting specific operational features. The design is characteristic of modern action cameras, prioritizing ruggedness and portability. The estimated age would be relatively contemporary, likely manufactured in the last decade, given the visible 'GoPro Hero' branding which is current to recent models. This particular model appears to be an earlier generation Hero, possibly a Hero 7 Black or similar, given the visible rear display and button layout.
