    These new models are so much better at Image Stabilization! This was a gift for my son, but I am going to upgrade to a Hero9 soon myself as well.

    My last GoPro was the Hero 4. This product amazes me in so many ways. The camera and video is crystal clean and steady. This is the best action camera for me.

    My lkast GoPro was the Hero 3 Black and that is still going strong. Wanted 4K and a screen so I got this on sale (cheaper than the 7). Only concern is the battery on 4K mode lasts less that 30min.

    This is a bit more complicated if you havent had one of the previous models before, but if you can work a computer you can figure this out. Great camera, love the extra features.

    Works great. Really smooth video especially on a vibrating racecar. Definitely better video quality than my old Hero 3. Touch screen back is a little small for big fingered folks.

    Have not really put it through the paces. But so far video is pristine. Audio is subpar straight out the cam. You need a external mic. VR is steady. I caught an open box sale.

    What more can I say? The new Hypersmooth is rock steady. The build quality with included housing built in is great. Image quality on stills and video is nuts. Very happy and impressed.

    Hyper smooth is unbelievable and I haven’t seen a need for a gimbal! The new high bit rate makes a big difference in picture quality.

    Takes some to to learn how to use but works great and gives better than expected video underwater. Make sure if using in the water to get the waterproof case.
