- General
- Brand: GoPro
- Model Number: CHDHX-802-XX/802-RW/802-TH
- Product Name: HERO8 Black 4K Waterproof Action Camera
- Color: Black
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Exposure Control
- Effective Pixels: 12 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 60 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
- HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
- Slow Motion Recording: true
- Storage
- Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
- Compatibility
- Memory Card Compatibility: microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
- Features
- Face Detection: true (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
- Action Camera: true
- Night Recording: true (The ability to capture and record video in low-light conditions, typically via infrared light or intensifier tubes that amplify existing light to illuminate the scene.)
- Wind Noise Reduction: true (If you take a lot of outside videos, in windy conditions, you'll need to make sure you have wind noise reduction on your camcorder. It does just what it says it does, cuts down the noise of the wind as it hits the microphone.)
- Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: WiFi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Power
- Rechargeable Battery: true
- Removable Battery: true
- Battery Size: Battery pack (The battery size required for operation.)
- Performance

- Curved adhesive mount
- Mounting buckle + thumb screw
- Owner's manual
Q: How long does the battery last
A: The battery is horrendous. The camera can record in 4K in 60fps but never even tried it because just recording 1080p at 60fps only lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. Horrendous horrendous battery life not to mention how hot it gets, I can just imagine in 4K at 60fps only lasting about 10 minutes not to mention how most likely will overheat and turn off automatically
A: The hero 8 is not the newest GoPro but is one of the best and doesn’t suffer the overheating issues that the 9 and 10 and 11 have been having. It does some zoom capabilities and the colors are really good
Q: Is there a way video can be put onto a dvd ?
A: The videos you shoot on a GoPro camera are saved as standard mp4 format video files, so they can be edited, saved, stored, etc. just like nearly any other video files. There are a number of software programs available here on this site that you can buy and use to create a DVD from your video files. Note that you will also need a DVD burner drive connected to your computer. If you don't have that drive or aren't sure how to do it, several drugstore chains and large retail stores offer a DVD creation service as well. They can take the videos directly from your SD memory card and make a DVD for you.
Q: Is it possible to record without sound and do a voiceover later?
A: So, I’ve never seen this done, but depending on what you’re using for editing it should be fairly simple to cut the audio from the file. However, mixing in some audio gives a sense of realism to your videos which draw in a crowd/audience even more.
Q: do you know if it come with the case?
A: It does not.
Q: Does the GoPro 8 black have loop recording? If not which ones do?
A: The HERO8 Black does have the option to use looping. Most newer GoPro cameras have looping functions.
A: The HERO8 Black is waterproof on its own down to 33 feet. If you plan to go deeper than that, you will want to use the separate protective housing with the camera.
Q: Does it come with a pocket clip or some way to wear it as a body camera.
A: The HERO8 Black comes with an adhesive mount and the standard GoPro mounting buckle. If you want to wear it like a body camera, you can use the mounting buckle to connect the GoPro to a variety of mounts. Many people like to use the Chesty, the Magnetic Swivel Clip mount, or the Head Strap + QuickClip for this type of situation.
