A great action cam with one drawback imo.

This review is for this model of the camera I bought. It is not feedback for the seller of my particular camera. I don't think it is as easy to use as say... a typical phone camera. I will explain below.

It's a great camera for v logging. The one annoying hassle I have with it is when it turns the photo mode on after I have set the camera to video. I think that GoPro should put a separate switch on the camera for the different modes instead of using the same button for power on/off.

If you use the phone app for the camera, be sure to turn the camera off when finished with the app. The app turns the camera on and it is easy to forget, leading to a flat battery in your gopro when you want to use.

I also think that it should have its own wind deflector/dead cat for its microphones. The built in microphones a pretty useless on windy days or bike rides etc.

It isn't a toy as some people suggest. You can do great videos with this camera. Sure, it won't record raw or prores files like the cinema cameras do, but it is not meant for cinema quality footage. A flip screen would come in handy although I doubt it would be practical for the manufacturer. Maybe in the future with a different design?

Quality is great light, battery duration needs work

Great camera quality is excellent. Fiddly to swap batteries and memory card. You will need extra battery days to get through an all day hike. 1.5hrs over 11 hrs of walking with camera on and off took three batteriesRead full review

Almost the best hero yet.

Have had a few of the past GoPro blacks. Image quality and stabilisation are amazing with this one. Pity that the firmware seems to be rather buggy. But this seems to have become the norm with all sorts of things. Waiting for next firmware release, which should be in December to hopefully fix the issues.Read full review

customisable settings,high quality, good battery life - the 'standard' for action cam

4k60 video looks great, hyperlapse, good screen to preview, incoporates the classic gopro mount working with all my hero2 accessories. Protune for custome settings esp useful for exposure compensation for car inteiors, so the outside isn't overblown.Read full review

Image Stablisation and timewarp are awesome

coming from a gopro 4+, this is so much better with image quality and the stablisation is so good. Some of the functions are awesome as well. the downside is still the battery life. i normally go out for 1.5 to 2 hours and it dies at about 1hr 20 mins. just need to be better with battery.Read full review

Powerful action camera as always !

Video stabilisation is very good and the image quality is outstanding ! Good thing is that old accessories are still compatible with The Hero7 (e.g smart remote ) . Two things I’m gonna give a dislike is that it sometimes gets hot when it’s recording with screen on and some minor bug in the system (e.g screen freezes)! Hope the next software update from GoPro can fix the problems !Read full review

Not bad

Good quality, but the UI is hard to use and the battery doesn't last long enough.

Great camera, but underwater case no longer included

Great video cam, fantastic image stabilisation, but no longer comes with a waterproof/underwater housing as standard. That's an extra $50 purchase.
