    Its super cool. Much better than the hero 4 I had. Can transfer footage to my phone wirelessly. Pairs great with the head strap and a skateboard. You can view footage of me skating with it on TikTok or YouTube, @pursuitsk8

    DO NOT BUY, IT SUCKS

    I purchase a majority of my electronics at best buy. I recently purchased a gopro hero 8 and it never successfully worked. unfortunately i made the mistake of not even trying to use it until a month after I purchased it. now they refuse to even attempt to fix it. They are only nice when trying to sell things and rude and unhelpful in customer service. it shouldn't matter if its outside the return date it's a reasonable amount of time and it never worked. No longer shopping at best buy in general.

    Lose your memories - and your mind

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had a Contour camera that stopped working properly and decided to "upgrade" to Gopro (which put Contour out of business, I presume). The Hero is a power-eating machine that eats batteries for breakfast. Picture quality is great - but you have no idea what mode your camera is in unless you are holding the camera - which defeats the entire purpose of having a Gopro. If I am going to hold a camera, the Gopro - which is small and has no attachment points of any kind - is a very poor choice. But once it is mounted, you can easily change from video to photo with the SAME BUTTON that you use to start the video! So you press the button and either you get a video or nothing (because the first press changed modes instead of starting the camera). then you press again and instead of a video you get a photo. It's like Russian Roulette with your memories. Good luck getting the shots you want. I spent a day skiing with my new Hero 10 and the MOST IMPORTANT SHOT ended up in "Time Lapse Mode" - which is to say it is useless. Their desktop app crashes and they email me every day asking if it is somehow working even though they have offered NO SUGGESTIONS as to how to fix it except - you guessed it: "Try reinstalling the same software program (and leave us alone since you already bought the camera and we don't really care what you think)" Their tag line should be: Lose your memories - and your mind - with Hero 10.
