No doubt you’ve heard of GoPro and that they’re the best on the market for action helmet cameras.
Well, it’s true.
The GoPro Hero 7 Black is excellent in every single way. And it’s the most expensive action camera on the market (check the price here).
The visual quality is outstanding, with 4K/60FPS available, 2.7K at 120fps, 1440p at 120fps and 1080p at a staggering 240fps. Those slow-mo videos have never looked so good.
The colors are dynamic and vibrant, low light video performance is the best out there and the new electronic image stabilization is unlike anything out there with their Hyper-Smooth technology.
One thing to mention, if you’ve owned a GoPro Hero 5 or up before, it uses the same accessories, so you won’t have to buy new ones for the 7.
Despite being excellent in video capture and features, there are a few things that let it down. The battery life clocks in at around 1 hr 45 mins for 1080p 60fps, or 70 minutes at 4K/60fps. Yes, the camera’s processor is doing more things, but when compared to the Yi that can record 2 hrs at 4K, this seems a bit of an oversight for a high end device.
The interface can take a bit of getting used to and isn’t the most easiest thing to use either. Also I’ve heard people complain about the connectivity can drop sometimes with other devices, though that may be just user related!
