Sports cameras have always been a unique presence in photographic equipment. On the one hand, they are mini, portable and even diverse, while on the other hand, they are powerful under the fuselage. With rich accessories and exaggerated perspectives, sports cameras tend to be artifacts recorded through the first-person perspective. Nowadays, sports cameras are not only used by sports enthusiasts, but also for many flexible groups, including vloggers and program recording groups. In 18 years, GoPro brought the GoPro HERO 7 Black, and several of its revolutionary features are memorable. And in 2019 we welcomed GoPro's new flagship product, GoPro HERO 8 Black
Compared to the previous generation HERO7 Black, the design of the new HERO8 Black has changed a lot. The body has become a little bigger, the thickness has been thinner, and the weight of the body is 126 grams. The lens and the frame are integrated into one body, and the lens is thickened to enhance scratch resistance and breakage; more specifically, the side of the fuselage is provided with a side cover, and the battery, the memory card, and the charging hole are integrated in the side cover, and the body is assembled. The bottom is designed as a retractable base with a screw-locking hole that can be directly combined with a hand-held accessory. The bare-metal also has a water-proof function of 10 meters underwater.
The HERO8 Black is equipped with 4 focal lengths for easy selection of different fields of view such as super wide-angle; it features an upgraded HyperSmooth 2.0 image stabilization function and can be used in all resolution and frame rate modes; The time photography function is upgraded to TimeWarp 2.0, which adjusts the speed according to motion, scene detection, and light source intensity. The newly added nighttime delay feature allows users to have better picture quality during nighttime photography.
In addition, through the new accessories that can be quickly loaded and unloaded, such as microphones, flashlights, LCD screens, etc., HERO8 Black provides three modules: Media Mod, Light Mod, and Display Mode. The group expansion can further enhance the radio, supplement the light source, and use the flip screen to instantly view the picture being self-portrait.
Another dual-lens motion camera, MAX, is launched simultaneously, using its own HERO series of single-lens, dual-combination, and six built-in microphones to capture immersive 360-degree images and audio; through the GoPro app, you can further convert the captured 360-degree image into a traditional movie or photo.
