It was awesome, Go pro has its own quality and standard. Best camera

The clarity of videos and pictures is amazing! I would recommend it.

This is the best GoPro camera yet it’s takes awesome videos and pictures

The GoPro Hero 7 Black is the new top of the line action camera from GoPro. In the age of cell phones GoPro finds itself in something of an interesting position. GoPro, like many other camera companies, needs to convince you that carrying – and purchasing – a dedicated camera is worth it. The Hero 7 Black tries to do just that by providing capabilities and features that no cellphone – or other action camera – can match. The major feature that GoPro is touting on the Hero 7 Black is the new hypersmooth software image stabilization, which provides image stability that previously was limited to a dedicated gimbal. For the most part, it works, and saves you the cost and bulk of having another piece of hardware. It also has the advantage that it works underwater and in any conditions the GoPro can handle. There are some limits to the video resolutions that can use hypersmooth, but the most popular ones are covered. Personally, I found 2.7k/60fps/Linear to be about the perfect setting for general video taking. On that mode the hypersmooth is extremely effective, with the camera able to handle a remarkable amount of shake and still keep the jitter out of your video. It can’t quite compensate for all motion as well as a mechanical gimbal, but the image is actually more natural feeling to me, it has just enough motion that it feels natural and doesn’t have the almost dreamlike floating effect that gimbals create. The Hero 7 Black can go all the way to 4K/60 with hypersmooth, and also offers other modes including super slo-mo and hyperlapse, a stabilized time lapse that is a lot of fun for capturing movement through space or around objects. Other features include a live streaming function that uses your cell phone to provide the data connection. It also has GPS, and a new super photo mode that does in camera image enhancement with HDR. My review includes both a pic without and with the HDR enabled, and it does a good job of managing high contrast situations and increasing color without making the image overly flat without natural contrast. The GoPro also responds to voice commands, which is very helpful if you have the camera in a position where it is hard to reach or your hands are full and not able to get to the camera. It can also connect to your smartphone or tablet wirelessly to view and copy media, and GoPro offers some decent editing software to do some quick edits. It has only two buttons, one is the shutter, and the other is the power and mode selector. It also has a capacitive touch screen to navigate settings and provide additional control. One note, if using the camera in or around water, the screen can sometimes pick up contact that you aren’t making and it can sometimes get a little crazy. There is a screen lock feature to stop this unintentional input from registering. Since this is a GoPro, there is an entire ecosystem of accessories to mount the camera to, making it far more capable than your average point and shoot for capturing action shots and going into extreme environments. The package includes the camera, “the frame” which clamps the camera in a tight frame case that has a quick mount included. It also has two adhesive mounts (one flat and one curved) to secure the camera to a helmet or other hard surface. Additionally, a USB A to C cable to connect to a PC and to charge the camera is in the box. The included directions are simple picture directions to show you how to get it out of the frame, charged, and telling you to get the app for your mobile device. You’ll have to go online to learn more about your camera. As this product is new to market, there are a couple of quirks with the software that should be worked out soon, one of which is when the camera is turned off shortly after turning on, it takes a while for the camera to actually shut down, sometimes around 10 seconds. The largest drawback to the GoPro is the battery life. One trade off for the remarkably small package with all of this technology and intense image processing is that the battery is small for the task being asked of it. There are some things that can be done, such as turning off some of the in camera processing and only activating the wireless functions when needed, but you are going to want to invest in extra batteries to record a full day of adventures. Fortunately, the batteries are not terribly overpriced as is often the case for cameras. This little camera is pretty expensive, but it does pack an impressive number of features in a compact, rugged, and waterproof (to 33ft) body. Since it can go places your cell phone can’t, or you wouldn’t want to put it, the GoPro Hero 7 Black still fills a unique need and it is hard to find another product that can do everything it can do. The hypersmooth stabilization is a real revolution in in-camera software stabilization and allows for the creation of ready to use video right out of the camera or live using the live streaming function.

Great experience with my camera I love it. It was a giffet to my dad

Okay so I love the camera I love the pictures I love everything about it but I put the battery in I try to take it out and the stupid little flap to pull the battery out just tore off once before i left and while i was out in Hawaii should have been a piece of rope tied to a little notch not a piece of plastic also front lens gets foggy after using water other than that I love it took some great pictures of Hawaii Family Vacation

GoPro 7 Black Full disclosure: I received a GoPro 7 in exchange for an honest and timely review. So far, I love my new GoPro 7 Black. I purchased a GoPro4 Silver several years ago and this is a very nice upgrade for me. I have not evaluated the 5 or 6, so I don’t know when many of the differences were originally introduced, but there are clearly some nice improvements. Like my 4 Silver, the 7 Black has both front and rear displays which I find indispensable. The front display is a small B&W display for settings which will rotate automatically when the camera is rotated 90 degrees. The 7 has only two buttons compared to three on my 4 Silver. I always found the three button model to be a bit confusing, so eliminating one button was a good thing from my perspective. My 4 Silver required the clear housing to make it waterproof/weatherproof. The 7 Black no longer needs this housing. It has a frame that is open in the front and back, but snaps on in a similar fashion to the original housing. The lens on the 7 appears to integrate the rectangular lens cover from the original housing, into the camera itself. I like having direct access to the touch screen at all times. I haven’t tried using the camera underwater yet, so I can’t speak to the degree of waterproofing provided by the new design. I assume it is as specified. The gaskets on the battery and connection doors are pretty small and I suspect it would be wise to inspect these prior to entering the water to make sure they are not damaged or dirty. The batteries are similar but different between my 4 Silver and the 7 Black. I have three batteries and a dual battery charger for my 4 Silver. Since they won’t work on my 7 Black, I have ordered the charger (which comes with a battery) and a 3rd battery to match the items in my 4 Silver kit. Though I was disappointed that I needed to buy both new batteries and a new charger, I understand that new technologies and requirements often place a greater demand on power. Upon researching this, it appears the battery design changed for the Hero 5 and beyond, so my 4 Silver was the last model to use the older battery design. Of course the 7 has great 4K video, time-lapse, time released shutter (0, 3s or 10s) and many choices in resolution for both video and still photos. There are also three choices for the Field of View on the lens for video...Linear, Wide & Superview and two for photos...Linear or Wide...no Superview choice there. I find all video modes to be crisp and clear. Really nice video in all modes and, of course, 4K is the current pinnacle. The 7 Black offers voice control which is pretty handy. I can say “GoPro start recording” and “GoPro stop recording” or “GoPro take a photo” (“take a picture” also works). I have not fully explored the voice commands yet to see what else I can do via voice commands. A hallmark of GoPro cameras has been image stabilization and the 7 Black has improved on that. I am impressed with the smooth video I get from the 7 Black when walking or riding in a car while recording video. It is very smooth. Audio is very good. I would think the elimination of the clear housing improved the audio, but I haven’t done a good side by side test with my 4 Silver to prove that. However, the audio on the 7 Black is very good for an action camera. There is a feature called “short clips” that allows me to take videos of 15 or 30 seconds in length. While the video is recording, a red progress bar makes its way around the perimeter of the display so I can easily see the length of the video I have recorded and what is left to go. I think this will be handy. I often watch the timer on my videos intentionally to keep them to a manageable file size. Now I can just watch the progress bar and recording will stop automatically even if I don’t watch. The GPS allows data to be tracked while recording. Speed, GPS location and G-Force are among the items you can track and display on your video, if desired. It is amazing. The GoPro app works well for connecting with the camera and downloading photos and videos. It can take quite a while to download long videos, so I usually transfer large files using a cable I like the 7 Black use of USB-C. Also, it seems like the battery is heavily taxed when transferring videos via WiFi. I watched 25% disappear quickly while doing a wireless transfer. The same files took 2 min 21 secs to transfer via USB and the camera charged the battery a few percentage points while doing the transfer. If you don’t have an action camera or have an older GoPro, I recommend you take a look at the GoPro 7 Black. It is a great action camera and a nice upgrade over older models for sure.

Upon receiving the new GoPro Hero 7 Black I unboxed it and went through some start up procedures. Since I didn't have a lot of time I turned it off and went back to work. The following day I had a bit more time on my hands so I turned the camera on and to my surprise the language on the camera was all in Korean (I'm pretty sure that's what it was). I could not figure out how to reset it so I searched the net for instructions to reset the language, or just reset all camera settings. I could not locate the User Manual online (I read it will be released on Sept 27, several days after writing this review), so I followed instructions I found for a Hero 6. I was really shooting in the dark trying to go through the menus in Korean and locating "Preferences" to change the language, but miraculously I was able to reset the camera and choose "English". Whew! Next I downloaded the GoPro App on my phone and connected to the camera. This procedure was also a bit clunky but after several tries I finally go it to connect to my phone. Once I had a chance to shoot some videos and photos I was extremely impressed. I shot video mostly in the default 1440/60 FPS setting and it looks amazing. Photos also came out great, see the attached picture which I shot from a car-mounted holder. Speaking of that, I shot a video mounted to my vehicle while driving down a very bumpy road with lots of washboard ruts. In the video you can see the side of my vehicle bouncing up and down over the washboards, but the footage is incredibly stable which is a testament to the new HyperSmooth in-camera stabilization. GoPro says it is "Gimbal-like stabilization–without the gimbal" and I agree 100%. It is stunning. Compared to previous action cams I have owned over the years the audio of the Hero 7 Black is also much improved, and the fact that it is waterproof down to 33ft straight out of the box is a huge bonus. I've only had the camera for a few days so have not been able to test all of the various functions, shooting modes, etc. This camera is loaded with features and will take some time to learn everything, but so far it has been a blast to play with and I look forward to using this camera for many years to come. One last note, after I downloaded my footage to my PC I disconnected the supplied USB cable from my computer but the GoPro screen was still reading "USB Connected", then the camera shut down. The next time I picked up the GoPro and tried turning it on it would not respond. I removed the battery then replaced it and the camera then responded/turned on normally. In conclusion, the GoPro Hero 7 Black shoots incredible footage and the in-camera stabilization is jaw-dropping. I experienced a couple of bugs here and there, but overall it is a very impressive action camera.

I purchased this to replace a Hero5 that got broken by accident. I chose the Hero7 over the Hero8 because I had 5 batteries for my Hero5 that were compatible with the 7, but not the 8. So far, I love it!

i love it ive been using a hero 2 so this is sickkkk the only thing im sad about is my fat fingers struggle to get the micro sd card out i did a review on youtube but thats the only thing that isnt the best for me

My last GoPro was a Hero 4 so this Hero Black 7 was a pretty huge upgrade for me. There are some nice features over the Hero Black 6 as well but obviously not as big of a difference. Before I get too far into the review, I CANNOT emphasize how important it is to buy a microSD card that is on the recommended/tested list from GoPro. If you buy a card that is not recommended, you may encounter all kinds of odd issues to the point the camera is literally non-functional. You can find GoPro's official compatibility list here: https://gopro.com/help/articles/block/microSD-Card-Considerations#list1 I tried an older Samsung Pro card rated at 80MB/s and the GoPro went nuts, I ended up buying a 128GB Samsung Evo Plus from BestBuy and all the issues I saw went away. Some crazy things you will see if you try a non-supported microSD card: 1) Problems pairing with the app 2) Red SD card icon and inability to record with error message saying "SD Card Busy" 3) Complete OS lockups, only way to reset is to hard pull the battery 4) EXTREMELY hot camera chassis and fast battery drain. Basically the camera will not work at all unless you have a compatible memory card and it will make you think the unit is defective. That said, with a compatible card, this thing is simply amazing. It is soooo small and records 4K/60 with incredible image stabilization. The 7 also added a new live streaming feature that I haven't fully tested yet. It also shows 4 hours of record time on a 128GB SSD at 4K/60. Another "GoPro" tip, in order to get 4K/60 you must change the aspect ratio to 16:9 or you will get an error message about 2.7K/60 only, but that is because it is by default set to 4:3 aspect ratio. Some negatives are the battery life isn't spectacular, seems to be about 1 hour of record time, so you will definitely need more batteries before your SD card fills up. I don't love how the different connectors are behind different casing doors and the ability to transfer videos is still easiest via removal of the microSD and plugging into a PC microSD/SD slot. Fullsize cameras do a better job of transferring wirelessly over BT or via USB. I also couldn't connect to my Wi-Fi while connected to my GoPro even though I was supposedly connected via BT. I need to look into this more. That said, this device is awesome for capturing videos on the go. I plan to get the 3-in-1 grip as well as some additional mounts for my bike and bike helmet, but the Hero7 is compatible with any accessories you have that support the 5 and 6. I actually have the GoPro Hero 7 Black, not the White, from what I can see is the White does only 4K/30 and does not have the front display. For just $50 more I would definitely spring for the Black or even the last-gen Hero 6 over the Hero 7 White. My main recommendation for GoPro would be to do a better job alerting the user that the memory card is not supported and that it needs to be replaced ASAP because it really breaks the camera and makes it frustrating and unusable as if the underlying OS is running some loop and making it stall and overheat.

I’ve owned both the 4 Silver and the 6 Black. The 7 Black is by far the best I have in my opinion used. I wouldn’t say gimbal like but pretty close!

Love, love, love this camera. The stability on my ATV rides is amazing. Excited that there are a lot more videos to come.

I love this camera. I would absolutely recommend the product to everyone

I use the gopro when I'm riding my motorcycle. Excellent video when I riding on the city.

This is my first Gopro and I am very happy to own it. I haven’t use it too much but so far is working great.

Amazing! Would purchase another one if they weren’t so expensive!

This camera has worked out great for me and my team.
