One of the best cameras ever had it for 1 year now with no problems will recomend

I got it for a vacation that me and the girl went on. We did hiking and snorkeling thought the whole trip. We used the video a lot and it was on point. It was better resolution than I thought it would be. It seemed a little more rugged also. Some of the hikes that we did were great to rewatch after our trip. It will be put to good use for sure in the future. Really great camera. Hopefully she can use this for her dog business also.

Bought this for my daughter she loves it. She uses it for outdoor exercise videos.

Excellent item. Highly recommend. I’ve purchased several and I’m happy

My grandson finds it easy to use. My order was filled quickly.

Go pro is perfect but vulnerable. I cracked my back screen the second day I had it. I hoped to keep this go pro forever.

I wanted the Hero 8, because of upgraded features and the vlogging mods available for camera.

Works great for recording videos on a shaky boat. Love the voice controls.

22 years ago, I gave up shooting wedding videos. When I first started, I used a VHS camcorder, then an S-VHS camcorder and then the first digital camcorder. They were quite large by today's standard, needed a powerful light on top which blinded everyone and I came home with a back ache from carrying the camera, lights and battery packs for 8 hours. When I look at this GoPro Hero8 Black's size and quality of the finished video, I feel I gave all my clients garbage videos, but that was the best we could do at that time. Before I got this GoPro Hero8, I watched a lot of videos on YouTube comparing it with previous versions of the GoPro and with other cameras. I read all the specs and you can find plenty of sites where they analyze every aspect of the camera. I never owned an action camera before but I do own a few 360 degree cameras which are used for other purposes. I'm not going to get into the specs here, I'm going to give you my impression of the camera. First, it is incredibly small. So small that if I mounted it to my chest, or used a shoulder strap mount, no one would even notice me shooting. I'm not an action kind of guy. I don't bike, surf, skateboard or do anything other than walk through towns, museums, parks or wherever and make the best videos I can, basically for myself or my friends. The first thing I did was strap it onto a chest mount and walked down the path I normally walk for exercise. Now I can play it on my iPad on top of my treadmill when the weather is bad and due to the great quality of the video it's almost like I'm walking my usual walk (almost). The video using the Hypersmooth 2.0 stabilization is incredibly stabile for side to side motion but it still picks up the walking motion. I noticed that using my Insta360 One X camera and my iPhone using a gimbal as well so I guess that hasn't been perfected yet. I tried the Timewarp feature which sped up the video and I tried the Timelapse feature in another video test. There are many features of the camera I haven't begun to explore yet such as Night Lapse, Liveburst, Superphoto and more but then again I've only had the camera few days now. One of the problems I had, not having fingernails was opening the door to remove the battery and MicroSD card and also removing the MicroSD card, I needed to use tweezers to pull out the card. If you don't bite you nails you shouldn't have any problems. I was disappointed that there isn't a built in standard ¼" tripod hole so even though I have a closet full of tripods, mini tripods, monopods, selfie sticks, etc. I had to purchase a collection of mounts to be able to use my tripods but now I have the chest mount, wrist mount and all other ways of mounting the camera. When using the chest mount, I can't get to the settings on the back of the camera so I used the iPhone app that let me control the various features of the camera remotely. One feature I really like is the voice control of the camera. While it's strapped to my chest, I can start and stop the recording just by saying "GoPro start recording" or "GoPro stop recording". There are many other voice commands and I'll learn them in time. I found that I only got around an hour of shooting time on the battery so I wanted to order a few more batteries. I found online a lot of cheap knockoff batteries whose prices were tempting but upon reading a few articles about the Hero8 Black if you use any batteries other than the OEM blue bottom batteries you can not use the Hypersmooth 2.0 with Boost as the camera will tell you that on the screen so I will purchase the OEMs right away. This is an amazing camera and I sure wish it had been around back when I was shooting weddings, it would have made my life so much easier.
