  • It is waterproof up to 33 feet (10 meters) without needing an additional housing, making it suitable for various outdoor activities.

    • 4K at up to 60 frames per second (fps)
    • 2.7K at up to 120 fps
    • 1080p at up to 240 fps
  • Bitrate: The maximum bitrate for video recording has been increased to 100 Mbps for both 4K and 2.7K resolutions.

Image Stabilization

  • One of the standout features is HyperSmooth 2.0, GoPro’s advanced image stabilization technology that provides smooth video footage even during intense activities.
  • HyperSmooth offers three levels of stabilization: On, High, and Boost, with varying degrees of cropping applied to maintain stability.

Photography Features

  • The HERO8 Black introduces several photography enhancements:
    • LiveBurst Mode: Captures a series of images before and after pressing the shutter button, allowing users to select the best shot from a burst of photos.
    • Improved HDR capabilities for better dynamic range in challenging lighting conditions.
    • RAW photo support for greater editing flexibility.

User Interface and Controls

  • The camera features an intuitive touch screen interface for easy navigation through settings and modes.
  • New Capture Presets allow users to save their preferred settings for quick access during shooting sessions.

Connectivity

  • The HERO8 Black includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity options, enabling remote control via the GoPro app on smartphones.
  • Live streaming capabilities are available in Full HD (1080p), allowing users to share their experiences in real-time on platforms like Facebook Live and YouTube.

Audio Quality

  • An improved microphone system enhances audio capture quality, featuring better wind resistance for clearer sound during recordings.

Modular Accessories

  • GoPro has introduced a modular accessory system called “Mods,” which allows users to enhance their camera’s functionality:
    • Media Mod: Adds a directional microphone, HDMI output, and additional mounting options.
    • Display Mod: Provides a front-facing LCD screen for vlogging purposes.
    • Light Mod: An LED light that can be attached for improved lighting in low-light situations.

Battery Life

  • The HERO8 Black uses a lithium-ion battery rated at approximately 1,220mAh, offering around one hour of continuous recording time at high settings but can extend longer with lower resolutions or specific modes like TimeWarp.

In summary, the GoPro HERO8 Black is designed for action enthusiasts who require robust performance in various environments. Its combination of advanced stabilization technology, versatile shooting options, modular accessories, and user-friendly interface makes it one of the top choices in the action camera market today.
