The GoPro’s HERO8 Black is a solid upgrade to the previous-generation HERO7. It comes with the GoPro Shorty, Mounting Buckle. All the accessories that normally come standard with the camera are also included. The GoPro Shorty can be used as a handgrip, 9" selfie-stick, or a mini tripod.

 Hyper Smooth 2.0 Video Stabilization

The GoPro HERO8 Black Camera gets gimbal-like smoothness without the bulk of a gimbal. It compensates for camera shake and offers in-app horizon leveling for smooth, professional-looking video. Additionally, the body of the camera itself has built-in mounting.

Time Warp

The camera lets you capture super-stabilized time-lapse videos while you move about a scene with automatic speed selection. The Night-Lapse function lets you shoot and process up to 4K time-lapses at night. With automatic speed selection, you can Increase the speed to turn longer activities into shareable moments. Just tap to speed it up or slow it down.

Photo Capabilities

The camera shoots up to UHD 4K resolution video and 12MP stills. SuperPhoto function reduces blur and enhances detail in low-light conditions. It also promises to get the most out of your shots by using noise reduction and automatic HDR. You can also flip the camera to the side and capture photos & videos in portrait orientation for social media updates. Additionally, Live Burst Records 1.5 seconds before and after your still shot so you can choose the best single frame to use as your photo or just share the entire short video. Photos can be taken in bursts of up to 30 images per second.

Live Streaming

The HERO 8 supports live streaming directly to sites using RTMP like Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and Vimeo while saving your streamed videos to your SD card.

 Digital Lenses

You now have the option of four different lenses, accessible with a simple tap on the screen: Narrow (27mm), Linear (19-39mm), Wide (16-34mm), and SuperView (16mm).

 Enhanced Audio

The GoPro HERO8 offers high-fidelity audio. This camera model takes a step further by repositioning the mic to the front of the camera. With reduced wind noise, you’ll get natural audio quality even at breakneck speeds.

 Frame Rates and Build

Processing power looks to be similar to the HERO7; It has maximum frame rates of 4K @ 60 fps, 2.7K @ 120 fps, and Full HD @ 240 fps, plenty fast to give you creamy slo-mo footage. The HERO8 is waterproof down to 33 feet without an external housing. The HERO8’s physical design has been streamlined, with a “folding fingers” base for quick mounting, a redesigned battery door for quicker changeover, and a more impact-resistant lens.

Remote Control and Power

It is highly recommend to use the HERO8 with GoPro’s smartphone apps. The camera is much easier to control using the app and it even gives you the ability to share to social media straight from the app. On top of that, the HERO8 responds to fifteen different voice commands in over ten languages and accents, letting you control the camera with your voice. The HERO8 uses the high-capacity AJBAT-001 battery and is compatible with microSD/HC/XC memory cards. It’s also compatible with the same rechargeable battery as the HERO7, albeit with diminished stabilization and frame rates.

Movri Canada, providing the mail-delivery system, is set out to make the gear available at more affordable prices through online rentals.
