Is the GoPro Hero 8
Is the GoPro Hero 8 worth upgrading to from a Hero 5, Hero 6 or Hero 7? With real world examples, I cover 10 new features, from the latest HyperSmooth image stabilisation to the new frameless design, presets, improved slo-mo and 100Mbps bitrate mode.
--------
The Hero 8 Black is the latest offering from GoPro. It’s a fairly modest upgrade over last year’s Hero 7 with improved image stabilisation, convenient video presets and a new frameless mounting system.
But in reality, most of us aren’t upgrading their action cameras every year so I’m interested to find out how it compares to the now three year old GoPro Hero 5. There’s a new processor, far superior image stabilisation, a 60 FPS 4K mode plus a host of other new features, but there’s also one new “feature” that is actually a significant downgrade and might just put you off upgrading all together!
In no particular order I’ll cover 10 reasons it may be time to upgrade to the latest and greatest Hero 8 Black, as well as that one reason you might want to wait off!
