    Son & Daughter-in-law and Grandson are avid bike riders. He is really enjoying this camera package and is really happy with the quality of video! Yes, I absolutely would recommend! Best Buy also did a price match which made purchasing it from their incredible customer service folks a great experience!

    I bought this for my 13 year old son, and he loves it. He's uses it skiing, one-wheeling and biking. He keeps the second battery (included with purchase) charged and takes it along because he says the battery life isn't the greatest. Overall, it's a great device and easy to use.

    Camera takes very good pictures only problem is that battery life is very short. Glad this package came with an extra battery.

    Images was great, and the video quality is superb. o shake at all when taking action videos. I use this mainly for snowboarding and mountain biking and the video quality is great. The only downside is, after a little over a year, one of the battery contact point of the go pro somehow got stuck with the battery, and when i pulled the battery to change a new one, one of the 3 contact points snapped and now my go pro would not work.

    like it so far, still learning how to use it but for simple videos, time lapse and photos are easy right out of the box. Battery life is not great so plan on purchasing a charger and more batteries. The app takes a little trial and error to get it to connect at times.

    Awesome camera bundle, we use the head strap for filming equipment repairs and equipment operating procedures, perfect tool for this. Bundle is a great value, wish it came with the selfie stick that would come in handy for a few procedures that we needed to film.

    Purchased this for my son for Christmas and he loves it! He has always had an interest in video and this takes it over the top. He loves that he can keep the camera tucked away in his backpack and how easy it is to use. The resolution is superb! Highly recommend!

    At first I wasn’t sure because it was the gopro hero 8 and the osmo action camera, but this camera has a lot of things that osmo doesn’t have for example you can do live streaming with go pro 8, the resolution and images quality is much better with gopro 8. I think I made a good choice.

    Great camera for the money. GoPro cameras have always been a little overpriced but this one is totally worth it. It’s fairly light and comes with enough accessories to get you going. Also they seemed to have fixed the fishbowl audio from previous generations

    I've been using a Hero4 on a chest mounted gimbal for years. I tried the Hero 7 and it wasn't the "gimbal killer" but the Hero8 convinced me to ditch the gimbal. Video is so smooth, photo quality is exceptional for such a small camera and the UI is significantly improved. Highly recommend.

    New to GoPro and was worried about the lens not being replaceable. Have no fear and just sign up on GoPro plus that will replace the camera if broke. You also get a bunch of perks. So far this camera has been great. The only downside is the batter doesn’t last long so get plenty of spares.

    I use this Go Pro Hero 8 to take underwater pictures and videos. I was surprised at how well the videos looked that I took underwater. My friends and I had a blast using it in her pool. I definitely recommend this product! The video quality is great if you are moving a lot!

    I absolutely love this kit and the hero 8. I’ve only used the go pro session before, but this blows my mind constantly. I love it! Beautiful quality, tons of options. I use it for film (I’m a film studies major in college) and also for fun (strap it on my dog occasionally, haha).

    I bought this for my son to replace another Go Pro I had previously purchased for him that was stolen. He likes all the features and was happy that this version came with the straps and gear to mount it on a helmet or to wear in on his body.

    Got this for my next trip to Japan, so far it's nice. The battery life isn't all that great, and I don't even have it at the highest setting yet. Honestly I would recommend 4 battery packs and at least 512 mb memory card. Also if you are hooking up your gopro to your computer make sure to check your usb settings on the camera itself, it may not show up as a device on your computer otherwise.

    Go Pro Hero8 Still A Good Choice

    The Go Pro 8 Black may be all the action camera you need and comes in $200 cheaper than the current flagship Go Pro 10. Do a spec comparison before deciding and you may find the 8 is a better solution for you, as I did. Unit has been a dependable tool for capturing action shot video footage. Glad I have it in my gear bag.

    The Hero 8 camera is well made an full of features. The camera stabilization when walking is amazing. I use the hero 8 for photos and video. The camera is easy to use as well as having many options available to be "picture" creative. I highly recommend this camera.

    We got this for my husband for the cars he is building. He wanted something to take video of the builds and road handling. We like that it came as a bundle which help keep the cost down. very easy to use right out of the box . we did have to charge it first.
