    bought it and use it often, only thing I would say that it doesn't support higher than 256gb memory card. seems like restriction that shouldn't be made but I didn't make it...

    I procrastinated buying a GoPro and I have regret, for me is great to capture moments at the pool with my kids, even as a "dashcam" for security purposes when I do a bike ride, is so versatile.

    As this is my first action camera i must say that i love it. One issue I found was that of you have wifi and location on it will over heat. Remember to turn these off while using. Other than that it's excellent

    Works well in water environments but does tend to have issues with environments with corrosive materials which is to be expected. However all cases we have found are not durable enough for the use we put them through.

    Great camera first off. Phenomenal options to fit the setting and quality your looking for in different situations you can do different things.what I don’t like is the fact the lens isn’t protected so more attachments it adds up so be prepared.

    Been on several adventures with my go pro hero 8 and I love it! Definitely bought the geek squad protection for 3 years though in case anything goes wrong but so far it’s handled everything gracefully!

    We got this product to be able to record things hands free when we didn’t want to use our phones and be more in the moment and it works perfectly for this.

    Not a fan of how they changed the live setup to a usb webcam style connection. Using a gopro as my stream cam was way better than a webcam quality wise and i didnt need to use usb ports since it was hdmi out. Wanted to upgrade from a 5 black to a newer sensor only to find out they took those options out and made it like a usb webcam. I tried it and it loses all the quality bump over a standard cheap qebcam at that point so i returned it. Probably a decent cam for gopro stuff but they removed all features that gave it any use for me so it was returned.

    The video quality of the Hero 8 Black is amazing. I previously used a Hero 3 Silver and the quality of the video with the 8 is incredibly better. The hypersmooth 2.0 is also a major upgrade. Strongly recommend.

    Great product, the time-lapse on this newer generation is so much easier than older generations, and it's a assembled already when you export.

    Very pleased. My son was filming within 15 min of getting it of the box. Awesome footage. Only downside is that you will definitely need some accessories for holding or mounting the camera.

    Bought this as upgrade from hero 7. Great camera with removable batteries. Helps when outside recording for long periods. Make sure you buy extra batteries for it right away.

    GoPro became really popular recently, I took the discount and purchased one. So far so good but the file size can get really large which can be a problem. Also, most accessories are not cheap.

    Camera overheats and shuts down until cooled off. Works better with external power and internal battery removed. Other than that, a neat camera.

    The battery doesn’t last long at all. Very disappointed with the price you pay and then you need to buy an extra battery to use in the same day.
