GoPro Hero8 Black review: Have action cameras finally hit a wall?

GoPro HERO8 Black CHDHX-801-RW review

The Hero 8 Black doubles down on features introduced by its predecessor, while also embracing a new ecosystem of modular accessories that add greater versatility to this already-capable little camera

GoPro Hero 8 Black Review

An excellent refinement on its predecessor that expands on some of the Hero line's most powerful and unique features, with the likes of TimeWarp 2.0 and Hypersmooth 2.0 being particular highlights. There's room for improvement with regards to low light performance and other aspects of image quality but the sheer versatility of the Hero 8 Black, plus the addition of the powerful new Mods ecosystem, makes it hard to consider other action cams around this price point.

With the ultimate features we have described the HERO8 Black Go pro, you must have gotten the idea as if it is the ultimate camera to own, and it is. The features that the engineers have offered in the compact design and construction are all up to the mark and with all of it being waterproof!

GoPro Hero 8 Black : Steady as she goes

Lots of small improvements add up to a significant upgrade for GoPro’s flagship camera

GoPro Hero8 Black review: The best gets better

Last year’s Hero7 Black was GoPro’s biggest release in years. It introduced HyperSmooth, a type of electronic image stabilization (EIS) so good you didn’t need a gimbal — even for the roughest trail runs or rides. It was a truly useful innovation that set a new bar for EIS, and action cameras in general. It also raised an important question: Where could GoPro possibly go from there? The answer is the $400 Hero8 Black, which features the first physical redesign since 2016’s Hero5 Black and includes an integrated mount — that’s right, you can ditch the mounting frame. It’s also compatible with a new line of accessories, called Mods, which transform the camera into a powerful vlogging and storytelling tool. Then there’s HyperSmooth 2.0, which now works across all frame rates and resolutions. Combined with optional horizon leveling, it’s another leap forward for EIS. It’s only been a year, but with these and many other new features, the Hero8 Black compares very favorably against the Hero7...

Overall quality

Pin sharp image , incredibly stable. Tried it in gym outside on bike , even put it on dog's collar. Voice control good wifi ok depending on coverage. Overall very happy.

Amazing miniature video camera

This is a great piece of kit. If you need to film in any weather or even under water you will not find a better or more versatile camera unless you want to spend a fortune... Great delivery and service from John Lewis as per usual.

Crystal clear footage

Perfect for mountain biking. Easy to use . Very smooth footage . Sharp image quality
