GoPro HERO8 (CHDHX-801-RW)

The GoPro HERO8 is the flagship of the 2019 American breed of action cameras. There have been a lot of quality changes. We will talk about them.

Kid-robust

With the appearance of built-in mounting rings in the body, the camera was finally able to shed the load of the external “shell” (protective case). From now on , the “baby” can be mounted directly on various surfaces, as well as immersed under water to a depth of 10 metres without “outerwear”. Of the visible innovations in the action camera, they also changed the location of the built-in microphone, which is located exactly under the lens on the front panel of the case and no longer overlaps with your fingers when you grab the device in your hand.

4K video

In terms of video GoPro HERO8 shoots in maximum resolution up to 4K (3840x2160 pixels) with a frame rate of 60 fps. Videos in FullHD format are recorded on a camera with a frame rate of up to 240 fps, which allows you to freeze motion in the frame at the post-production stage of the footage. In all video modes, the operator has access to digital image stabilization of the updated generation HyperSmooth 2.0. The stub is so good that in some cases it allows you to do without a steadicam to get a smooth picture. In TimeWarp mode, the model captures time-lapses in motion, adjusting to the speed of movement, the scene and ambient lighting.

Innovation package

To increase the ease of management, quick access presets to different shooting modes have been added to the camera menu. GoPro HERO8 gets another plus for the karma for the ability to connect external modules, in particular, a remote flash, a frame with a built-in microphone, and a screen module (for sighting in the “selfie” position). The action camera takes pictures at a resolution of 12 MP, giving out pictures in the “raw” RAW format at the output. As a result, the model turned out to be adapted to different shooting scenarios, whether it is active cycling, water sports or VLOG recording.
