    Although I think go pro is really excellent and does so many awesome things I just never really use the item very much and ended up returning it. I just like to use my iphone for taking pictures and video and not having a second device.If you can make time for using this overall it’s a good deal

    This is by far the best GoPro version yet! I have been a GoPro user since the hero 2 days. The software and housing upgrades are worth every cent! The stability is insane and the fact that the camera already fits on all my attachments is perfect! Highly recommend.

    I really like GoPro Hero 7 Black, however I wanted to get better sound quality, since built-in mic is not picking up sounds outside. Well, I learned that I had to buy an expensive USB-C adapter from GoPro and it is huge! It defeats the purpose of having a small action camera. I returned it and purchased Sony X3000 on sale at Best Buy. It has a mic input right on the camera.

    By far one of the best cameras I've owned so far. The image stabilization is amazing and being able to record in 4k/60 is great. The Cloud features could use a little work, but nothing future upgrades won't improve upon. This little camera does it all, and does it well.

    Awesome camera with a glitch

    What a really great camera. For the most part, it works perfectly. I mainly use it for taking timelapse photos, and every now and then it flakes out and just stops taking photos at some random point in the day. I use an sd card that is certified for gopro. Outside of that glitch, it’sa per awesome camera!

    Hypersmooth is phenomenal

    The hypersmooth feature is phenomenal compared to my previous three GoPro cameras. The only unfortunate thing for me is how fragile and sensitive the rear glass display is. I removed the camera from my pocket and dropped it about three feet shattering the display. Of course that is not covered under warranty and the camera is now no longer water or dust resistant.

    My son has always wanted to be a youtube and know he can become one with the gopro hero 7. He is able to record and do his videos with ease and he has a very own youtube page so he can show everyone the cool videos he's makes.

    Where's my HyperSmooth 4K60?

    After checking out some tech preview sites, I was hyped up for HyperSmooth at 4K at 60 frames/second. I cannot seem to get this setting and I've played around with a bunch of settings. After checking out some other posts, it seems this feature has been stripped out. 4K-60 gives you normal stabilization and 4K-30 gives you HyperSmooth. The GoPro HERO7 Black is the newest, top of the line release. The biggest feature is HyperSmooth which goes above and beyond their normal Electronic Image Stabilization. After shooting several minutes of 4K-30 with HyperSmooth, GoPro has won me over. GoPro even goes as far to say it's HyperSmooth gives you gimbal like stabilization. That's very nearly true. I was almost ready to buy a $300 gimbal, but it's unnecessary...for what I'll be doing. For more professional footage, you may want to invest in a gimbal mount. While there are many other features that have been introduced in this iteration of the GoPro Black, let's get back to the basics. Externally, it's no different from the HERO6 or HERO5. So accessories are plentiful and if you're willing to go off-brand, they can be very affordable. Battery is identical to the HERO6 and HERO5 as well, so picking up an extra costs around $20. It's waterproof to 30 feet straight out of the box. No accessories needed. But if you use their waterproof case, you can go to something like 80 feet. Battery life gives you about 1 hour of record time. I highly recommend U3 rated MicroSDXC cards from a big name brand. While the HERO7 can support 256 GB memory cards, I think the sweet spot for pricing is at 128 GB (for now). This gives you roughly 4 hours of recording time. Operation of the HERO7 has been cleaned up with some menu system improvements. It's easy to set up, although I have found that at 4K-60, I lose the option of a Linear Field of View. Wide Field of View may be OK for some, but I don't like the slight fish-eye effect. GoPro has packed a few more features into this tiny camera such as in-camera handling of HDR photos and TimeWarp which is time-lapse video. Videos produced by this camera are very sharp. Still pictures came out a little more grainy than I expected from a 12MP sensor. Microphone performance is greatly improved over previous generations. In addition, you can connect an external microphone to suit your conditions. Connection to my phone via the GoPro and Quik apps are very easy and I like having the phone act as a remote control and view finder. Power is supplied by a USB-C port and I was able to charge the camera with my phone charger. However, please note that data transfer to a computer cannot be handled by the thin cable that comes with most modern phones. The included USB A to C cord that is about double the diameter of my phone cord is needed to handle the data transfer. Overall, a great camera whose features steered me away from getting a plain video camera. I'm just disappointed that I cannot get 4K-60 with HyperSmooth as I've read about.

    Noticable difference in stabilazation

    There is a difference between the 6 and 7 of stabilization. With this said I would not recommend buying the 7 if you have the 6 already. Until price point either drops or you have a need for a 2nd gopro.
