    I was hesitant initially to buy thinking that it would be difficult to figure out all the features. I was completely wrong and found myself enjoying challenge. This is a wonderful device to record all your accomplishments and family events.

    I bought this set specifically for going on adventures when my wife and I went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. The pictures and video came out great. We used it going hiking and snorkeling. The extra battery is a must since it only lasts a couple of hours at a time.

    Go pro cameras are a great tool for sports video production. This is a high quality and user friendly product. Super fun. Great results. Get a package - it’s a great way to start up. Oh, and, hyper smooth feature is AMAZING!!!!

    The video recorder works well in all settings, ie; indoor, out door, submerged, above water I would highly recommend this camera for people just starting their 4K journey through life and sharing their experiences with other it’s a marvelous video recorder. I would reccomend stepping up the battery packs or bringing multiple batteries with you considering the battery only lasts 45 min, and carry an extra sd card on you for storage. Overall iv been following go-pro since the start, they just keep getting better and better. The glass/lens on the hero 8 is remarkably tough. Do not purchase this if you are planning on shooting photos, they make cameras for that

    I purchased the HERO8 Black after waiting a couple generation because of small upgrades to the device each year. After reading the reviews and using a friends 8 Black, I had to get my own. With three active kids, we use the 8 several times a week.

    I love GoPro taking action pictures on the beach and swimming in the ocean with my grand kids. The Head mounting hook was great; the camera quality was excellent. The self stick not so much, though it should be built with high quality and the camera didn't come with big enough memory, only 32 for the cost of it thought it should come with at least 128 gig

    I use this camera to record while riding and playing sports. Very easy to use and set up. Pictures and videos download to my phone and it’s super easy to see them. Not the best battery life so be sure to get an extra one

    Best investment. I was filming turtles in Hawaii and dropped it, but it washed ashore and was still recording and perfectly fine. Survived he salt water ocean for 15 minutes. Super durable.

    I love how clear the camera is when you film! There is so many accessories to buy for it and it’s worth the price. The battery lasts awhile when you record videos and there’s different speeds for slow-mo which I love. We got a rubber case for it and made slits along the battery flap so you can easily charge it otherwise you’d have to take the whole case off the GoPro. There’s honestly nothing bad to say about it. The only downside of when you upload a slow-mo video to a computer, it doesn’t look 4K as its suppose to. Just for regular videos. Also I had to pay .99 cents to add slow-mo to be able to play that on my computer which is no big deal. I recommend buying extra batteries just to have for back up and screen protectors when you’re traveling.

    The camera is really great. I do think the interface could be slightly better, but the quality is 4k top notch. The handle it comes with attaches easy and moves around great. You would swear with the shake mode on that you are walking around with a steady cam. i use it for sports and just around the house recording. The design with the side flap you take off to reach battery could be better and while it says its waterproof I'm terrified to put it actually in the water. Especially since with COVID I can't go to the store, I'm waiting. The flap where battery is just doesn't SEEM to seal for waterproof despite it saying it is. One day maybe but not now! But the head strap is awesome too. works great with app on phone.

    First time using a go pro and still learning, not sure how to really use it, but the picture and video quality is good. It doesn't have the capabilities to zoom in when in video mode.

    We're still learning, but it was easy to use. The instructions on how to work it were easy to understand. My son has used it on the boat, and movement doesn't affect the filming.
