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.

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.

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.
