GoPro HERO8 Black + Lanyard - E-Commerce Packaging - Waterproof Digital Action Camera with Touch Screen 4K HD Video 12MP Photos Live Streaming Stabilization

For the price, I cannot believe the quality you get from this camera. The image stabilization is great. The quality of the image is so good I can't believe it. It's miles better than anything you get off your cell phone. It's small enough that nobody notices you are recording. This is a fantastic deal, get a hero 8 right now, the price is low, it's better than the 7, everyone is buying the more expensive and newer 9. Everything about it is great right now, go get it.Battery runs down really fast, that's to be expected in such a small device that outputs such a high quality image. I figure it's less than an hour on default settings. Batteries are cheap though.If you run into problems importing footage to your computer, make sure your computer is up to date enough. I almost thought the camera was broken because every movie I shot had freeze frames. Turned out to be software on my end was just too old to handle the great quality and file format this thing uses. It works well after I updated.

This camera worked really well under water while snorkeling. Picture quality was excellent, no issues going from surface to small dive (approximately 10-15 feet deep). Really impressed. Video was easy to access and share. Only small complaint is that the battery didn't last quite as long as expected (1 full zip line run, and two partial runs - less than 3 hours, when battery was advertised to run 4-6 hours). Overall, this is a great camera - just make sure you have at least one extra charged battery handy if you're planning to be out for 3 or more hours.

I recently gifted the GoPro Hero 8 Black to my husband, who had been eyeing it for a while. The excitement on his face as he opened the package was priceless. Thankfully, the packaging arrived intact, and everything inside was perfectly organized, addressing my initial concern.The GoPro Hero 8 Black is impressively user-friendly, which is a huge plus. My husband effortlessly straps it onto his helmet during his hockey games. The footage captured has allowed us to share in his thrilling experiences on the ice.Overall, this purchase has been nothing short of wonderful. The GoPro Hero 8 Black not only met but exceeded our expectations, making it a fantastic addition to our collection of gadgets. Highly recommended for anyone seeking adventure and quality capture!

WARNING - for current Mac users.It’s going to require much more setup than you think. You’ll need SD cards, and a computer just to update the GoPro itself (if you don’t want their awful app).Which is another fun fact. You can’t download their app with anything below iOS16 for iPhone.Said app does not exist for mOS. A legacy app does exist for webcam use on mOS - but on top of all that?If you currently have Sonoma : it will not function as a webcam, with said app, without fettering your system settings.For what I paid? Im horrifically disappointed.I can see why other brands are pushing them out of the market -Their refusal to update their architecture is what I learned post-purchase?Apparently, an enormous and long-running issue.Beyond that , the claims of the battery life being awful are completely true. This thing burns out after about twenty minutes.And it sure would be convenient if I could record directly to my workstation to ameliorate the issues there , but that can’t happen due to the OS integration issues.The picture quality is fine, but chances are your phones camera is better - so get an SD card, save yourself the hassle, and money. Put it toward editing software that isn’t plagued with issues.If you’re absolutely looking for an -action cam- and don’t want to hold your phone?Do yourself a favor, buy a similar product from another company.

I paid about $240 on a promotion. GP has had the Hero 10 for a deep discount, on their site. I might have done that. But the price I paid is pretty great for what this camera does, and I don't worry about it much. The good thing is that the stabilization on the Hero 8 is close to fantastic. I ride an ebike up a very rough road and the picture is almost too smooth. It's just remarkable what the electronic stabilization can do. And these are pretty tough cameras. The picture is very nice, if a bit punched up. I guess there is a bland setting. The camera is a lot of fun. It's fun to go outside in the snow and rain. It's fun to point it at odd angle and mount it in weird places. Hey, you want a fantastic camera that does it all, get a Sony A7iii. But that's not reality. The stills from this camera are pretty good, but always wide views. The battery life honestly sucks.

I love my GoPro. I started a Nature video channel, and wanted something that I could use under water. This camera is perfect. I have a special lanyard that I use with it, because it didn’t work the way I wanted it to being mounted to my snorkel. Once you turn it on, you can leave it on while you’re swimming around and searching for turtles or other underwater creatures. I just grab it, press the start button, and it starts filming. Once I’m done I pressed stop. Having the ability to do this, while you’re searching for different things that you wanna take footage up, really saves on battery power. I couldn’t be any more happier with this camera. You can go back through your videos with the camera, just to see how things turned out. If you feel like you needed to get more footage, make sure it’s charged, and you can head back in the water and do it again. this probably bought a lot of joy in my life, and is completely waterproof and doesn’t need any type of packaging to keep it waterproof underwater. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. This is great for any type of movies that you want to make, or just for capturing your travels.
