My original reason for buying the GoPro Hero 8 Black was to create video content from my motorcycle. The camera is capable of so much more! Since it will take both video and still photos, including under water, it has replaced all of my other cameras. Wide range of settings precisely control the content. But you need to know. 1. No written instruction are included and the on-line Go Pro instructions are not for beginners. Thankfully, great third-party videos exist on YouTube. I bought mine about a month ago and am now just feeling confident in its operation, including content transfer. Once you learn how to operate the camera, its operation is straight forward. Plan to spend some time learning to use it. 2. Plan to spend some money on accessories, including at least one spare battery--it eats power. Mounts and cases are essential for usages. 3. Takes forever to upload video content. You will learn patience. 4. Plan to buy multiple SD cards so that you can upload content files via your computer without tying up your camera. 5. It works with Mac devices, but more steps and different apps are required.

I bought this action camera for my trip to Cancun. It worked great and due to the fact that it is waterproof, I was able to do some snorkeling with it and didn't have any issues. Quality of the video was great and even the audio sounded well even when i was in the water with it. The only downfall of this camera is that you need to buy accessories for it. I bought an extra battery and make sure you invest on a good sd card because then you will have issues with it. It's like driving a Lamborghini and pumping regular unleaded gas, so yeah get yourself a good one. The Quik app is also nice. You can edit your pics and videos there.

I am absolutely in love with this Go Pro, I’m so used to taking my DSLR around. However, I love to kayak! So it’s a little scary to bring a camera that size and worth so much into a creek or any body of water for that matter! Luckily, this Go Pro eliminates all those fears! I’ve used this for recording behind the goal shots of soccer games, kayaking in my favorite waters on the east coast and even gone biking with it. All accessories are available to purchase all while still being affordable. To navigate it, takes maybe a day, but once you learn the widgets and stuff you’ll be fine!

Works well. Good quality photos and easy app to use for quick wireless export to phone and quick edits. Would recommend. See photos from recent snorkeling trip.

Im glad i finally got one they are good quality easy to use and have all the features you need to capture anything. 10/10
