SQUAW VALLEY, CA -- Along with the new Hero 5 Black, Hero 5 Session and Karma drone, GoPro announced a new accessory called the Quik Key, which will make it a whole lot easier to transfer GoPro footage directly to your smartphone for sharing online. 。

The Quik Key is essentially a microSD card reader that fits on a keychain and plugs into either your iPhone through the Lightning port or Android devices through either Micro USB or USB-C. 。
