    Quality Camera. Very Robust and not nearly as heavy as the Hero 9. Pros -Weight better than 9 -Built in mounting pegs -4K 60 with stabilization -Works well with Reelsteady Cons -No replacement lens (At least not easily) -Gets rather warm but haven't overheated yet -Was waterproof until it wasn't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Ended up buying a second one cause this failed and it was outside of my geek squad.

    Got this bundle recently and plan to use it on a cruise in a couple of months. Features like recording the last five minutes make sure you never miss the important moments. The camera is more compact than before and easier to use. Looking forward to the new add on’s that would be released soon. Still figuring it out but love what I’ve seen so far

    I purchased this as a gift for my husband and he loves it. I upgraded his 7 and it was perfect. I purchased around the holidays 2019 and I was able to get this great bundle at a better rate. The quality of pictures and video is remarkable and very easy to navigate and use. It is a great buy for any techy lovers.

    From what I have seen so far this is a great camera to use for making our youtube videos. The voice commands work well and the stabilization is great. We do still get some wind noise but I'm still working on trying to figure out a cover I can use. I'm not happy with the fact that the lens is no longer replaceable.

    The best thing since Grilled cheese. The batteries only last for about 2 hours. I suggest buying extra. The handle is a little short for a tall person. Stability is great. Action shoot are perfect! I love this. The Mic does pick up the wind. Picture clear underwater. I bought a sleeve for it.

    Definitely recommend buying the bundle if you are new to GoPro. The pole attachment is convenient and frees up your hand for greater range of motion to capture unique shots. Love the ease with which I navigate the device and settings. Especially love the quality of video.

    Great quality camera with lots of features. This is my first GoPro so there was a bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it's very simple to use. Super small and light, perfect for recording outdoor activities with quality results. Pretty expensive but great pictures and video.

    Bought this bundle kit for Christmas and was one of the best purchases yet! This was a great deal for what comes with it! I live in Colorado and take this every time I leave the house. Have used the head band snowboarding many times and the stability of the video it outstanding!! The tripod is also great for the perfect timer images when we travel to new state and new places for a great angel! We hike almost every weekend and this kit goes with us, I ended up buying a Pelican case and cut the foam to fit the GoPro perfect! We have used it underwater a few different times and the video turns out better than expected. The ability to use the app on a smartphone makes this that much better! Overall the best camera for outdoor travel and adventure!

    GoPro Hero 8 Black for great videos

    The GoPro Hero 8 Black is far better than the GoPro 7, 6, and 5 models. The GoPro 8 has a slightly smaller footprint and the video is sharper than earlier versions. However, battery life on the GoPro Hero 8 is somewhat short, which is why I did not give 5 stars. I still highly recommend the GoPro Hero 8 black to anyone looking for great video recording at a reasonable price. I purchased the combo kit on Dec 20, 2020 for $299.

    I have been wanting to buy one for the longest time but I was skeptical if it is user friendly plus the price of this product. When it got available again as a bundle like the past holidays I took a chance & was very happy I did. Great product, good price, user friendly.

    Great kit with everything needed to get started. The camera is easy to use and connect to a phone too. Put several hours of use on this already and it seems to be preforming very well. Very happy with the video quality and how easy it is to use it.

    This camera is awesome. Crisp clear playback. It picks up sound really good. The only downfall that I’ve noticed since purchase is that it burns the battery life rather quickly, but the battery is rechargeable. This bundle included an extra battery. I love this camera.

    I have been really happy with the underwater and mountain biking videos and pictures. This is a great camera for anyone into outdoor activities. I would suggest this bundle, because you learn that all the cool accessories are separate, and add up the cost.

    I’ve had some great fun playing with this little video camera! It has been somewhat of a challenge to learn how-to do some really cool stuff with it but overall it’s not been too bad. There are so many more things I can do but learning them takes time. I think it’s missing a simple reference guide to the basic’s. The GoPro App should include a quick guide instead of just pushing buttons to see what works. My kids do that, I was taught to look it up. It’s difficult without a guide and I’m afraid folks my kids age do not comprehend the guide concept or how to create one. I guess I’ll just keep pushing buttons until I hear otherwise and see if there’s any other cool stuff out there.

    This was a gift for my grandson who is a chef. He needed it as a professional tool to video his food preparation process as part of his branding/ marketing efforts. The equipment is easy to use, good quality and good value for the price!

    Great bundle kit. I was planning to trade in my digital camera for this gopro 8 black, but this bundle is much cheaper when they were for $350. The camera is great, but the battery seems to not last long. The bundle comes in two batteries so that is a great choice.
