GoPro Hero 8 Black review: Steady as she goes

The GoPro Hero 8 Black doesn't represent a massive jump forward in image quality over the Hero 7 Black, then, but GoPro hasn't rested on its laurels. The new built-in mounting prongs are a big improvement over the clunky clip-on frame of previous generations and it's good to see GoPro giving its...

GoPro Hero 8 Black review: smooth operator

It's that time of the year again. Fall brings us, along with decorative gourds, new GoPros. Other brands such as DJI have been threatening to eat GoPro's lunch, recently, while the past couple of revisions of GoPro's signature camera have largely been iterative.

GoPro HERO8 Black CHDHX-801-RW review

Again GoPro has managed to produce a camera with almost exactly the same specifications as the last one, and again they’ve made me want to buy it. Actually, the hardware change is big once you get the camera out in the field, not having the cage in any way shape or form is a great advancement.

If you want the stablest action camera we've ever used, you want the Hero8 Black; it may not be cheap, but as with most GoPros, you get what you pay for.

GoPro Hero8 Black review

At £379, the GoPro Hero8 Black is anything but cheap, but the experience it delivers isn’t cheap either. There are a couple of things we would have liked to have seen - a bigger screen and better low light video capture. In addition, getting footage on and off the app was a bit fiddly when using an Android 10 phone. That said, the nuts and bolts of using the Hero8 as an action camera are exactly where they need to be. The promise of the upcoming mods which look set to add improved sound recording and a vlogging display to the mix are whetting our appetites nicely too. In turn, GoPro’s Hero-line is very much still the action cam to beat, and we can’t wait to see what’s on the HyperSmooth horizon from the OG of action cams as we hurtle into 2020.

GoPro Hero8 Black review review

Crystal clear footage

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

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.
