Don't buy

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2019

Style: Base Package

I purchased this camera and out of the box it wouldn't work. I spent over 8 hours and multple customer support sessions trying to get it fixed. Nothing, couldn't get it working. So then I tried to get a replacement camera since mine was not working. I was told no. I paid for a working camera, it arrived broken and not working, but no, I'm not allowed to get a replacement camera. Save your money and time and all this hassle and don't purchase this. It looks like I'm not the only one having issues with it so learn from our mistakes and don't buy it. Not to mention you can never get in contact with anyone at gopro to get any help. I've been trying again to contact them and I can't. It's not a fun experience that's for sure.

Still freezes like gopro 7.
Battery door literally falls off when opened too far.
Mic adapter with external mic is hit and miss sometimes records sometimes doesn’t.
Battery / Sd slot in one spot that the door has to be removed to use an external mic adapter leaving battery and card slot exposed to elements.
Connecting to live streaming is a nightmare with hot spots. App constantly disconnects. Took an hour and multiple multiple tries to get it to start streaming.
The list goes on and on.

On paper this gopro looks awesome however all those issues listed above just drive you crazy.

GoPro Hero 8 Black: w/UPDATE !!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2019

Style: Base PackageVerified Purchase

How did GoPro ever release this POS??? First time I used it for any length of time (at a local winery where our favorite band was playing), the damn thing crashed and locked up with the screen freezing... MULTIPLE TIMES!! The power switch will NOT function, nor does the start/stop switch. AND, it then gives an SD card error (SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro Micro SDXC 275MB UHS-II Class-10 U3 4K), telling me that the ONLY WAY to fix the card is by FORMATING, which will then erase ALL data! WTF GoPro???

Not wanting to loose all my data, I disregarded the FORMATING requirement, removed the battery, removed the SD card, then re-inserted both and voila... the Hero8 came back up WITHOUT formatting! That is until the next THREE TIMES this POS camera locked up again!!! Each time it locked up, the recording I received was a completely frozen still image, while the audio kept recording (and the audio recording is FAR INFERIOR to my old Samsung S7 phone!)

PLUS... this camera has ANOTHER GLITCH... when held perfectly steady with the selfie stick's end set directly on our table, the damn thing will FLICK LEFT to RIGHT about one time every 10 seconds for NO reason (no movement of the stick occurred). What a mess. Go figure...

Until these serious problems are (hopefully) solved, this camera is seriously a DNB (Do Not Buy). Hopefully, I will have a future update that solves this problem, or the Hero8 and ALL the accessories I bought (three extra "Hero8" Batteries w/one Dual Charger, lens protectors, storage case, SANDMARC Pole and more = $800+), will be returned to Amazon. What would YOU do???

PISSED OFF in SoCal...

11/15/19 UPDATE:
As it turns out, for proper camera performance, you will need to update the original Hero8 camera's v00.15 software that's loaded from the factory which came with my Hero8, to the latest v1.20 to function properly (supposed to eliminate the Left to Right "image shake", and image Freezing/Lockup I experienced). It's a manual update that is very easy to do, and is easily downloaded from the GoPro website. If needed, simply "online chat" with the GoPro people and they will walk you through this required software update (which they did with me).

No idea why my new Hero8 wasn't already loaded with v1.20, but that seems to be the case with most all of them (I suspect too early of a release).

Ok... "so far, so good", and my rating goes from 1 star to 4 stars (if Amazon will let me increase my rating). The v1.20 software update seems to have eliminated the Left to Right "image shake", and image Freezing/Lockup problems I originally experienced. I performed a full one hour recording (one full battery), and there was NO image shake, NO lockup and NO image freezing. Seems all the Hero8 needed was this new v1.20 update and it was good to go. GoPro could have eliminated a LOT of complaints had they shipped the Hero8 with the v1.20 update, but as I said... this latest update may not have been available at the time of first release. Regardless, I feel the 10/31/19 release date should have been held back for a week or two until the original v00.15 could have been replaced with this new update. In any event, all seems well & good for now... until I get more recording hours on it!!!

Great Action Camera!

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019

Style: Base PackageVerified Purchase

A lot of the reviews I see here are from previous GoPro users who are unhappy with their upgrade. I am a first-time GoPro user but come from a family of photographers and professionals. I personally can say I absolutely love the hero8. Stabilization from hypersmooth 2.0 is really near gimbal quality at this point. I've already tested the underwater aspect of the camera without a case and it performed beautifully! I've had zero issues with SD cards, freezing or really anything else. My main gripe is with the GoPro app... not a fan! but doesn't matter because I'm exporting everything to Adobe premiere pro anyways. To sum it up, for an action camera the image quality really is incredible on the GoPro Hero8 and I am perfectly pleased with my purchase I can't wait to really push the limits of this camera!

More like a GoPro 7s

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2019

Style: Base Package

This is more like a mid cycle refresh. Most of the selling point for this camera seems like can be achieved on the 7 black through a software upgrade. I mean they brought something new to the hardware department but took vital key elements. Yes, we gained a monumental move to foldable mount feet in an effort to rid the frame. But at what cost? We lost a micro hdmi port for quick, direct viewing to your hdtv. A feature that will now be only achievable through a "mod" add on for $80! Then there's the battery door. It's so flimsy and easily detachable. Potentially easy to lose while changing battery on the go. Would have been better if it had a rubber tether attached to the battery door and the camera itself. Other thing I feel like a downgrade is the non replaceable lens! I know it's advertised as 2x the strength of the previous one but now you have that lingering on your mind. I feel like there has been a lot of sacrifices to achieve one good thing. If it wasn't for the fact that I was able to sell my GoPro 7 close to what I paid for it, the TradeUp deal, and the American Express offer, I would have given this a hard pass.

Amazing 4K stabilization, upgrade from Hero 6.

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2019

Style: Base PackageVerified Purchase

I skipped Hero 7 because I got Hero 6 right before the 7 came out. Anyways, HUGE upgrade in stabilization from my Hero 6, also audio is much better, this is the best GoPro in terms of stabilization. If you need gimbal performance without an actual gimbal I think this is the way to go plus it fits in my pocket so I take it everywhere and make videos anywhere I want. Low light performance is not that great, better than Hero 6 but I don't expect to use this for low light too much, it's really action camera for daylight.

I've owned almost every single GoPro Hero model and this one is undoubtedly the best to date!

Reviewed in Canada on February 7, 2020

Style: Base PackageVerified Purchase

Update: I'm changing my review from 5 to 4 stars after more use with this GoPro in different situations. Here's why:
- Unlike previous models, the Hero 8 only has one door to access the battery, memory card and charging port. The Hero 5-7 models had a door for the battery and memory card on the bottom and a separate door for the charging and display-out ports on the side. While I'm sure this change was made to keep manufacturing costs down and perhaps also improve waterproofing, as someone who often uses the GoPro to record lengthy time lapses this change has become a bit of a notable frustration for me. The single door on the Hero 8 is on the side, which means you can still mount it while the door is open - this is a good thing. However, since this door now also houses the battery and memory card beneath it, it's much larger and is also not removable (at least as far as I know). On my previous GoPro Hero 5/6/7 I would simply remove the charging port door, pop it into my frame mount, connect it to my powerbank and I was good to go for a long time lapse or extended shooting. If I was ever concerned about potential bad weather, I could easily fit a piece of tape over the open door area for protection. This can still be done with the new design of the singular door on the Hero 8, but is not nearly as convenient since the entire door must remain attached but open in order to connect a USB-C cable. I have also experienced issues (particularly just when trying to charge the battery inside the camera) where the battery has not made proper contact while the door is open and therefore does not charge, even though it's plugged in. This has unfortunately happened on multiple occasions and as a result I've missed being able to record certain activities/events because the battery wasn't charging. Again, this is simply a result of the battery and charge port sharing the same door. Personally I preferred the double-door design of the Hero 5-7 models and I hope they reverse or fix this design in future models.
- It's nice that the Hero 8 provides several "loadouts" for each mode (photo/video/time lapse) - these allow you to quickly switch many settings at once to a different set. However, the loadout names are preset and cannot be changed (as far as I can tell) and you also cannot add or create new loadouts beyond the several that it provides for each mode - you can only change and edit settings for the existing loadouts. It would be much nicer if it allowed you to not only rename and customize these loadouts, but to also add and create new ones in addition to the 4 that it provides (and seems to limit you to).

Let me preface this review by saying that I've owned almost every single GoPro Hero model since the GoPro Hero 2 - with the exception of the Hero 3, I've owned each model from the Hero 2 all the way up to now this Hero 8 Black. I think the best hardware update arrived with the Hero 5 where you no longer needed a separate housing to make the camera waterproof, but the best software update is definitely the HyperSmooth 2.0 stabilization you'll find on this Hero 8 (not to mention the increased shooting modes/resolutions that have been released since). Features like TimeWarp and HyperSmooth have really changed the way GoPros can be used and makes them much more versatile than they ever have been before. Not only that but the footage is a lot more usable now with the improved stabilization, since shaky video has always been a problem that has plagued GoPro footage in my experience with older models. HyperSmooth 2.0 is a total game-changer - it's super fluid and can even look gimbal-like if you take your time with filming (footage taken from activities like mountain biking and snowboarding may not look quite gimbal-like, but compared to what this footage would look like on older GoPros, the difference in stabilization is night and day). I used to have to run pretty much all my old GoPro footage through Warp Stabilizer in After Effects, even if I was trying to be as steady as possible while filming - now I only have to use that method if, like mentioned above, the camera is mounted on something or someone very movement-heavy (mountain biking is probably the best example of this, where footage is often rough relative to the terrain).

With this being said, the reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because compared to the Hero 7, aside from the improved HyperSmooth stabilization, there really aren't that many other improvements or features that make this particular model worth the price compared to the significantly lower price of the Hero 7 which has many of the same features, including TimeWarp. To put it simply, if you own a GoPro Hero 6 or older, I would say it is well worth upgrading to the Hero 8. However, if you own a Hero 7 and are wondering if it's worthwhile upgrading to the Hero 8, I would actually say it's not, unless you have about $500 burning a hole in your pocket. I think that compared to the Hero 7 Black, there aren't enough new features on the 8 to justify paying the full price unless you NEED the improved stabilization and framerates, because that's really the only difference in my experience. But like I said, if you have an older GoPro or are looking to buy a GoPro for the first time, you definitely won't be disappointed with the Hero 8!

I didn't mention anything about the audio quality on this GoPro because frankly I would never rely on or expect GoPro audio to be good. If you're buying this camera, it should be for videos and/or photos. If recording quality audio is important to you, I would suggest looking into an external microphone, or a different camera altogether. I think the audio on the 8 is likely the best GoPro audio there is, but in my experience, GoPro audio has always been pretty underwhelming (to put it nicely).

PS - GoPro batteries from the Hero 5, 6 and 7 models will all still work with the 8, as long as they are official GoPro batteries and not third-party batteries (GoPro removed support for third-party batteries through a firmware update several years ago, much to the disappointment of many GoPro owners including myself) - however, it is also important to be aware that only the new GoPro batteries (with the blue bottom) will support the use of HyperSmooth 2.0 on the Hero 8. The compatible batteries from previous GoPro models will let you use any other mode/feature but HyperSmooth 2.0 requires the new battery model in order to work properly.

The camera stopped working pretty much out of the box. Checked to make sure the SD card is compatible before buying so that wasn’t the issue.

Stabilization is so good, night mode needs work

Reviewed in Canada on December 28, 2019

Style: Base PackageVerified Purchase

Having an older go pro version (Hero 5 black), I can tell it's a huge upgrade when it comes to stabilization. I used 8 for vlogging and underwater diving, and compared to the 5, it is soooo smooth and stable. I had no issues with underwater diving without a case in the Great Barrier Reef, just found sand stuck in the crevices (same as the older versions). I havent tried testing how scratch resistant the 8 is, but I know when I 5 was thrown at full force on gravel while abruptly stopping on a bike in NYC, it caused a chip on the lens but luckily had no impact on the image.
Con: Night image needs work. You can capture night image, but if you're walking with the 8 (vlogging), you'll see street lights jitter and pixelated. The stabilization just isn't as good in night mode as it is in the day.
Overall, the 8 is great. I would still buy it, but until they improve the night mode to be as good as the day, it is a 4.5/5 stars for me.

Top notch action camera but with issues

Reviewed in Canada on December 7, 2019

Style: Base PackageVerified Purchase

There is no question on the quality of the video captured by this GoPro. Especially with the 2.0 hypersmooth, it just pushes the standard to another level. Everybody can make some professional alike video clips easily. On the other hand, the major concerns are the over the top price tag, the lense that can't be replaced (it may not be so easy to break, but what about scratching?) and the way that the door is designed is prone to potential issue (such as not closing properly underwater or just losing it).

Hypersmooth for all resolutions and fps is a nice addition plus options to choose the level of stabilization is also very handy.
Higher bit rate video files for 2.7k and 4k + upgraded glass and lens cover are an improvement over the 7 and definitely retain more detail than previous gopro's
Time warp feature is better than 7 delivers good hyperlapse videos.
No freezing issues so far.
Buying a protective housing + lens protectors is MUST.

Micro SD Card Hell!!

Reviewed in Canada on March 25, 2020

Style: Base PackageVerified Purchase

I purchased this camera for a recent family trip where I wanted to try this camera for some snorkeling we had planned. Unfortunately, we couldn't use the camera as the Hero 8 wouldn't format any of the GoPro recommended micro SD Cards. I purchased 8 Samsung Micro SD Cards (EVO Plus) and not one of them worked. I tried formatting on the camera itself, on a PC, Mac and Linux. GoPro has various support docs on how to do this, but unfortunately none of the recommended approaches worked. I did some 'Google searches' on this particular issue and it looks like there are other users with the same problem. For now, I do not recommend this camera but hopefully there will be a firmware update that will 'fix' this issue.

Got defective product and awful service from amazon

Reviewed in India on January 13, 2020

Style: Base PackageVerified Purchase

Got a defective product from Amazon’s Apario retail. Video recording did not work properly even a single day. Thought the issue is with memory card etc. Tried with multiple compatible ones still same result. I guess the new version is still buggy and make sense to wait for next stable release. Service from Amazon is equally awful in such cases and no accountability at all for shipping a defective product and only way out is to have an ordeal with GoPro service center. Imagine the pain of customer who spend such big amount only to go to service center having been shipped an item that did not work properly from day one. These are some of the nuisance of online shopping of expansive items. No matter how much premium you pay to choose top retailer for quality product or service. Pretty disappointing experience. Hope to make right choices in future.

Overall disappointed.

Reviewed in Canada on February 9, 2020

Style: Base PackageVerified Purchase

I've had a lot of problems with this camera. Error messages about the included battery and errors reading SD Card and requiring to restart the camera. Quick capture often fails because of it. There is a slow off/on process (sometimes turning it off is dreadful!). Hypersmooth is great when it works, but under many conditions it just doesn't work, particularly in linear or low light modes. The camera generally doesn't adjust to lighting very well.
Under ideal sunny conditions it works great, but I find that any type of dynamic changes in the lighting conditions -- going through tunnels, cloudy days, or moving from sunny to shady or indoors to outdoors and vice versa -- is pretty disappointing. Accessories cheap and overpriced. Battery door not thought through, annoying to remove the memory card. Battery life is pretty poor, and so taking long timelapses requires external power through USB which can be annoying with the battery and door design. Pretty easy for the battery to fall out.

The unit itself is overpriced, and so are most of the poor quality accessories which have had problems of their own.

Eu tenho a 7 e estava relutante em adquirir a 8, pois pelo que eu vi não tinha tanta diferença assim. Mas a câmera me surpreendeu. O fato de não ter o case deixa ela bem mais simples de usar e a porta da bateria é lateral, facilitando trocar sem ter de desmontar. As fotos e videos são mais saturados, o preto é mais preto, gostei do resultado final. O audio está melhor e fica mais fácil a ativação por voz. Mas acho que o ponto alto é o software, muito mais fácil de usar. Os presets e a forma como os ajustes estão organizados deixaram a câmera muito melhor. No geral estou adorando.

Hero 8 - is a whole new level of convenience and stabilization quality. Not as good as a gimbal, but the convenience of being able to click a button (or voice activate in particular) and end up with very steady shots, means I will never go back. Check out the million and one reviews on you tube, and you will see the GP is dramatically better than everything out there stabilization-wise.

To be honest I was expecting a better picture quality from this and wasn't overly impressed. The stabilization is decent but unless you are shooting in good lighting conditions the quality of the video really drops off after that. I would say my smartphone camera takes better quality video than this and my camera is 3 years old.
