I think the benefits that the Hero 7 Black offers are well worth the investment. After all, there are lots of cheaper alternatives and copies available. If you want to invest in a GoPro, then you are arguably doing it as you want a superb camera. Is it really worth paying £100 or even £200 more? Is it worth almost £380? That’s a heap of money and it’s certainly a purchase you give a lot of thought to – especially with the Silver version at £280 and the White model at £180. This was £379.99 when I wrote this, but has since dropped in price. NOTE: GoPro changes their pricing from time to time. After all, you mainly buy one for how good it is at shooting video and at that it is incredible. I can forgive the camera for these little foibles. Some of these issues can be attributed, at least in part, to connectivity, less than perfect real-world scenarios and lack of any manual with my test model. Not a massive issue, but a little frustrating. The good news is that it only took around a minute to run the update this time. After this I could start the update process again. Then the battery needed charging, so back in it went and onto charge. I had to cancel the update and remove the battery from the camera.

This caused the update to freeze for a few hours. I received, and answered, a call while running the update. Whilst running the update the app days ‘Don’t leave the app!’ (i.e. You update the camera software using the GoPro app on your phone. It’s also easy to charge and extra batteries are easily available. This is being pretty picky as the battery performs well enough for most needs. Gone is the nausea inducing wobble you get with most cameras.īattery life could be better, which can be said of most tech. The clarity of footage blows you away, and the stabilisation, called HyperSmooth, improves the viewing experience a lot. If you want more detail, then keep reading. If that’s all you need to know, then you don’t need to read on. Well, in short, the answer is Yes, although it’s not without its quirks, like all top-end tech. Mainly, I want to know if it is as good as GoPro claim it is. So, I got a hold of one to test and this is simply my experience of the camera. In short, I wanted to know how good the camera is. You can find similar items elsewhere and often cheaper, so it’s certainly worth shopping around. Any links I’ve used are only to make it easier for you to see what I’m talking about I don’t make any money from these links and no one requested I add them. They’ve had no input to what I’ve written. I am not paid by GoPro and they did not request I did this test. I’ve been testing the Hero 7 Black across various conditions, summer and winter, to see how it performs.
