GoPro Hero 8 Black CHDHX-801 12 MP Action Camera
OUR VERDICT
The action camera market may now be a two-horse race since DJI launched the Osmo Action, but when it comes to stabilization, GoPro just took the lead with the Hero8 Black. What’s more, GoPro has innovated with its tried and tested design while still nailing the basics, and supporting higher frame rates across higher resolutions than the competition. This makes the Hero8 Black pricey, but sensationally stable.
FOR
Superb image stabilization
Built-in mount that folds away neatly
Great video quality
Plenty of modes
AGAINST
Rear screen could be bigger
No selfie screen
There are cheaper action cams!
Lowlight performance could be better
The GoPro Hero 8 Black and GoPro Max are a testament to the fact GoPro isn’t resting on its laurels – and particularly now that its faces fierce competition from DJI and its Osmo Action in the race to offer the best action camera.
While the Max reimagines what a 360-degree camera is and does, the Hero 8 Black (or Hero8 Black, as GoPro like to write it) rethinks the traditional Hero line’s design, adding folding feet for easy, housing-free mounting. It also serves up four focal lengths, despite the fact it only packs one optical field of view, and introduces a range of video enhancements, including the smoothest action camera footage we’ve ever seen. It is, in short, the best GoPro we have seen to date.
