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.

GoPro Hero 8 Black review
The Hero 8 Black may lack a couple of features that you can get on its successor (namely, a front-facing screen and 5K video), but it's still a fantastic all-rounder that's compatible with GoPro's Mod accessories. Its 4K video is just as impressive as the Hero 9 Black's, while the HyperSmooth stabilization is almost identical too. The Hero 8 Black improves on earlier GoPros with a higher max bit-rate and 1080p livestreaming too, making it a highly versatile action camera. If you just need a waterproof action cam for travel duty, then it's worth considering the even more affordable Hero 7 Black. But this is a fantastic all-rounder for its new, lower price.
Pros:
- Excellent image stabilization
- Time-saving Capture Presets
- Unique time-lapse modes
- New built-in mount
- Improved microphone
- New Media Mods
Cons:
- Sub-smartphone picture quality
- Poor low-light performance
