    dont like that you can’t playback 4K videos on the Go pro app. or even preview it. I wish I would’ve known that they had a new version coming out in 2weeks. So I paid full price for an older model. It’s better to buy online, you get better service if anything goes wrong and/or not satisfied with purchase.

    because I didn’t purchase it. Someone purchased this item on-line for store pick up in AZ (picked up by someone other than me, I live in VA) and Best Buy let them do it, didn’t raise any red flags. Almost a month later still waiting for BB to remove the charge from my BB credit card.

    The Best Action Cam Just Got Better

    I had the GoPro Hero 5 Sessions and it crapped the bed one me. As a Youtuber, I needed a GoPro again ASAP. Fortunately, the Hero 6 was just released. What an upgrade. Wow. The camera is just ridiculous. That image gets me every time I see it. Congratulations to GoPro. Btw, check out my vlogs on YouTube to see how it performs! YouTube. RickWanders)

    Hero6 is AWSOME. Huge improvement over Hero5.

    Best action camera ever! Awesome slowmo footage, Quick Stories are very practical, does everything automatically. Works very well. Love the colors in photo/video and how quickly and smoothly Hero 6 adjusts to light. Awesome dynamic range and very good image stabilization. Pretty good audio, improved over previous version. Hero5 is good camera but Hero6 is way better in so many ways. Extremely happy with this product.

    Still getting a thumb size ghost image dot

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After a horrible experience with my Hero 5 Black. Three replacements in less then two months and after awful customer service, I had decided I had enough of GoPro and was going to buy the Yi 4K+. However I decided to buy the Hero 6 Black and try to restore my faith with this camera and since I have 45 days to return it being an elite plus member I gave it a shot. To my dismay, When facing the sun I get this large thumb print size ghost dot (image). It's very annoying having to see this on my videos. Anyone else have this problem? I should have returned the Hero 5 when I had the chance. I will for sure with this one if I can't seem to find a remedy. Oh by the way when the protective lens cap is removed, they look fine but then without the cap the lens may get scratched. As to the stabilization, on the Hero 5 it totally sucked and it was basically non existent specially when walking. Looked like a 5 year old was holding the camera. On the Hero 6 they improved it. So instead of being all shaky there's a light wobble up and down but more acceptable. Because of that white ghost dot, I may have to return it though. Cant have this. Did I mention how horrible their support is? Hope you don't ever need to contact them. Never respond back to you. Their phone and chat is always busy. If you can get through and speak with someone and they tell you they'll contact you back they won't. Four times I had to contact them back because they never responded. I even went as far and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Here's the link that shows the white image. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0qBcebe268

    Battery life

    Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    Great camera, spotty firmware.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The camera itself is an absolute tank. Resolution is amazing, it’s very durable, and the stabilization is great. The battery life isn’t ideal, and the amount of time it takes to charge is pretty bad.. so buying an extra is a must. Luckily they’re very cheep. The last firmware update was incredibly buggy and unreliable, but the current 2.01 seems to be exactly what the camera needed. Everything is working as it should and I’m so much happier with it. Low light is MUCH improved as well, and there’s been no bugs that I’ve experienced so far. The firmware updates have definitely been the downfall of this camera in the past. Especially since it’s very difficult to track down the older firmware if you’re unhappy with the new one, so I’d suggest waiting to update and to do a fair amount of reading up on how it’s been for others before you do so. But like I said, this current firmware has been fantastic. I’m glad I waited it out for this update instead of returning it. The only reason Im not giving it 5 stars is because GoPro really gave us a lot of grief with the old firmware. The last one came out back in November 2017, and this new one finally came out Feb 27 2018. Aside from that, everything with it has been fantastic now.

    Best Buy always stands behind the products that they carry, therefore, I always buy with confidence. The GoPro Hero 6 Black is just another step up from the Hero 5 Black that I previously owned. In terms of getting quality, I can always count on both Best Buy and GoPro in terms of their cameras.
