GoPro - HERO8 Black 4K Waterproof Action Camera - Black

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.

This GoPro replaces my old Hero Session and there is quite a jump between the two cameras, especially quality. I am very happy with the Hero8. If there were any complaints I would have to say that the door is annoying. It keeps popping off, which is better than breaking off, but I also feel like one day it will come off and I will lose it. At least the door is replaceable. Also, importing the files to my computer using the cord takes ~2 hours but inserting the card takes about 2 minutes. I guess my usb port is slow, but this is also annoying. I have included a picture that I made with the GoPro. I stacked the images from a timelapse to create this image of the stars & lightning bugs. Really awesome!

Works very well. I use it to take footage of 3D printing and other things and so far it has been great. The stabilization is awesome! There are only two issues: - side door has to be removed to charge the camera, so if you want to take footage while charging, you have to remove the side door which will expose the battery. - tends to overheat pretty quick. If you are using it for something indoor, it’s likely that after 15 minutes it will shutdown. Since I keep it in an enclosure for 3D printers, I added a fan and the overheating became manageable. Still, it’s good stuff.

I purchase the GoPro for our vacation to take all the Fun Pictures and Memories we were going to make. I love our GoPro. Look at the Fun We had on our vacation and Memories we saved on our GoPro.!!!! Thank You Best Buy.!!!

Easy setting for different types of format! And it’s water proof before adding any waterproofing case.

This camera takes. crystal clear videos as high a resolution as 4K . Also takes great photos 12.2 megapixel. The image stabilization is incredible there is almost zero camera shake even when walking with camera in hand . Takes great und Ed water videos without a housing up to 33 ft deep .

Never had anything like this before so I have nothing to compare it to. Pretty great overall although I've only used it on one trip. Just look up some youtube tips and tricks for proper settings and you should be set with the product. Just keep in mind the accessories are what get you. Dam accessories, it just seems like I dont have enough of the dam accessories; a gopro encasing for water/dirt/impact, the stick, different types of mounts, extra batteries, micro SD card, tempered glass screen protectors, case to hold everything, etc. This is where my wallet is feeling it the most. The dam accessories....

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.
