Customer Ratings & Reviews

As noted in other reviews, the camera gets hot fairly quickly. However, the videos are great. I am a little disappointed that GoPro does not include a wall socket plug for the battery charging cable. The features are well designed although a little less than intuitive. You can find any directions you need on Youtube. Still, glad I bought this.

It was a gift for my husband and he loved it. The size is perfect for traveling and carrying it around. He loves wearing it with the head strap I also got him. It was easy to set up and figure out. Videos and pictures turned out perfect.

I bought this device to use as a 4k video recording device for my quadcopter drones. I've used it for so much more since then. This camera is waterproof up to 10ft, I think, I haven't tested that just yet but have had it in a pool. The video quality and stabilization are top notch.

I was a Sony Action Cam guy - rebelling against all my buddies who used GoPro cameras. Finally caved-in after finding my Race Technolgy data acquisition system can automatically sync video to data. I love that it's a quick press of the button to start Recording and pressing the same button at the end of my race session turns the camera OFF saving battery life. It also has voice control - I can tell it to start Recording or to turn OFF. With so much going on before a race session starts, I like simple! Dislike the the 4GB chunks for a longer video... I have software to "stitch" it together - BUT - one of my GoPro buddies reminded me that it is for file integrity safety - you won't loose the whole video, just segements if there are any issues with your MicroSD card. Must say that I'm a fan now...

I’ve had this little guy now for about two years. It’s been so reliable. Did have to purchase new batteries about a year ago. Dropped a lot and from high areas. Durable. No problems with updating by software still as well.

It has problems, sometimes will freeze It’s going to get too hot you have let it cool for 30 min. Minimum:/ overall it’s a go pro lil expensive but great video quality

The size and durability are a big plus for active shots and video. Very clean colors and stabalization. Time lapse feature works well. Big variety of accessories. The picture is great. There is nothing I do not like about this camera, and you can take pics and video underwater.

I am already the owner of a Hero7 Gray, but I wanted the ability to switch out the battery and have a waterproof camera. The battery compartment is a little tricky to use. When I was switching out the battery, the door came off. I was able to figure out how to re-attach it and was pleasantly surprised that the snafu didn't damage the waterproof capabilities of the camera. The camera takes great photos, but the interface always takes me some time to get used to it. There are only two buttons on the camera and a lot of the features are accessed through the touch screen. I would purchase this again even with the fact that opening and closing the battery door is a little tricky.

Great little camera had a good time in Hawaii with it. I just wish they would make the pictures a little easier to download but for the price you can’t beat it.

The GoPro Hero 8 is a good device. I liked it a lot the only negative thing I thing is the battery life, unless I'm doing something wrong which is possible. It has a great camera it has to be on of the steadiest cameras I've seen. Easy to use.

Exceeded expectations. I’m a firefighter that also trains for all types of search and rescue. Bought the GoPro Hero 8 to record footage of recent swift water rescue training in the rapids of West Virginia. Mounted the camera to my helmet with the adhesive mount that it comes with in the package. Spent an entire week operating in and out of the water, without placing the camera in a case, capturing all the moments in 4K at 60 frames/second! Put this product to the absolute test and was super impressed with the outcome. GoPro has an app that’s easy to use. You can upload all the footage/pictures through Bluetooth and edit all the moments you capture. Highly recommend if you’re in the market for a camera to capture all your adventures!

This is our first GoPro. The stability and picture quality is amazing! The app allows you to download media directly to your phone. The only thing that could be improved is the battery life. It runs out pretty quick.

The videos you get out of these gopros are great. I like that they are smaller then the 9. Only big complaint however is that GoPro made these 8’s not have removable lenses. If you crack it, whole camera is broke.

I previously owned Gopro 6, and I loved it. Mostly used it for hiking, biking, and road trips. Rarely used settings above 1080 because social media often makes the quality choppy. Photos were great, always had fun experimenting with different angles. But the Gopro 8 internal stabilizer is a game changer. I had contemplated buying a stabilizer for my 6, but didn't want to commit because of the expense. Why buy a stabilizer when you can just buy a better camera for the same price.. With the 8, you don't need one! Ive taken amazing road trip vids (holding the gopro out the window with a $10 selfie stick) and the video is not shaky at all! Looks smooth. I've noticed I take more video now than I did with my previous Gopro 6.

great screen amazing picture quality worked well in extreme action vehicle recording off the hood of the vehicle

The best action camera in the market! This thing is a beast! I dropped it so many times and gon under water with it and the picture is amazing! Love it

Works great, great picture and easy to use, it does get hot while in use and kills batteries fast, that the only reason I didn’t give it five stars. Definitely recommend it but buy extra batteries and charger.

Very easy to use compared to older units with one button on and off function . Picture quality and stability is excellent . Multiple mounts are great for just about any sport .

Best Action Camera Ever! I fly FPV drones and this camera is quality and very sturdy.

Camera functions well in all conditions however battery life is terrible.Would not recommend unless a longer battery source is available.
