It's worth it for HyperSmooth Alone ! One Major ISSUE!!!

The first six hours with this camera were frustrating and I'm a techy. Before you do anything disable WIFI Calling on phone and reboot then download the app and let it update the camera. Life is good after that.

Great video, frustrating as hell features and use
by Todd Knapek (2 out of 5 stars)

First - the good. The 4k 60fps video is amazing. The hyperstabilization works really well. The low light video is a bit grainy, but other than that, it's beautiful.

The bad - and there's a bunch of it.
-You can't live stream and record in 4k. The most you can do is 1080p. To me, this is a total waste - why would I live stream with a high end camera like this, and skip the most important function of the camera. Some product manager needs a kick in the nuts.
-Battery life is pathetic. Get a very large external battery pack if you're going to record in 4k 60. Seriously, unless you take 2 minute videos, it will die before you capture anything.
-You can cook eggs on this thing when you're recording. If it's even remotely warm outside, it will shut down occasionally, from what I can only assume is overheating.
-There's no preview available while recording in 4k 60. My Hero 5 Blacks have it, why not this new one? Seems like a giant oversight.
-I had to go to youtube to find out how to set up streaming for something other than Facebook. Seriously GoPro - your documentation, both on-line and included with the camera, sucks.
-The whole streaming process is really funky. I keep having to delete the camera from the GoPro app in my phone and re-connect it whenever something needs to be changed.

Long story short, I'll use it for recording the same content I did with my Hero Black 5's, but won't be using the streaming features - which was the only reason I even though about upgrading. I wish GoPro had documented or at least given specifics on the new features. I have a feeling they purposefully held that information back because they knew it would piss people off and no one would pay to upgrade.

Great action camera that makes a good travel point and shoot camera as well
by Rex B. (5 out of 5 stars)

Firstly the HyperSmooth setting is genuinely impressive. Even going down rough, rocky trails on a mountain the footage is shockingly smooth. I used the chest mount which worked very well. I did have a video sample on this review but it looked awful once uploaded. I guess it was whatever processing Amazon does to videos you upload as I uploaded the video to Youtube and Vimeo with no problems.

The stabilization in the TimeWarp (hyper lapse video) mode is not quite as good as in the HyperSmooth mode but works well. When I used TimeWarp while mountain biking it was watchable but a little rough. When I used it while on a road bike with was very smooth.

The SuperPhoto HDR setting in photo mode also works shockingly well. I've been pleasantly surprised with the images it produces in the linear FOV with SuperPhoto turned on.

I haven't had any of the connection and setup issues that others have noted. I have a Google Pixel 2 and was able to download the GoPro app, turn on the Camera, install updates, and have it up and running with no problems at all. I know it varies by iOS vs Android and what phone you are using, but if you have a Pixel 2, you shouldn't have any issues. Hopefully. I didn't anyway. Cross your fingers.

My only negative thing to say so far is the battery life is not great. You may as well go ahead and buy at least one more battery and the multi-battery charger. Turning off wireless connections while filming definitely helped with battery life but on the other hand it is also really nice to use your phone to control it with using it.

All in all I really like it. I haven't had a GoPro since they didn't have touch screens. This is the first one with enough features to entice me back into the GoPro world. This one is easy to use. It produces good footage. It's waterproof and rugged. I can use it as an action camera and as a small point and shoot travel camera. That is basically what I've been hoping a GoPro could be at some point and I feel like this one actually delivers on that.

True Game Changer
by Honest Opinion (4 out of 5 stars)
October 3, 2018

SOLID 4 Stars, if firmware update the jerk from filming a wide panoramic recording (left to right), then I would rate is a 4.5 Stars. I guess as an action cam design, it was not intended to record side ways. I owned a HERO5 with the Karma Grip and sold it the day they announced the HERO7. I never played with the HERO6, so I'll be comparing the HERO5 and HERO7.

The menu works much much better, very smooth and very intuitive. As for the WiFi, I didn't find any issues. If you have a HERO5 or HERO6 you already know how to connect through WiFi. Maybe the people complaining are new to the HERO 5/6/7 family.

Main usage will be family vacation, running(half marathon), hiking, snowboarding and snorkeling, so the built in stabilizer is more than enough to skip the need of a gimbal. Now you can downsize your travel gear And have more room/weight for other things.

The only drawback which is not a deal breaker, is you can't playback 4K on your phone through the iPhone app because file size too large unless you download it to your phone (very slow and you can't do anything else while downloading).

Photo included is straight from GoPro HERO7 without any editing.

Quite Disappointed
by Amazon Customer (1 out of 5 stars)
December 28, 2018

1. Immediately you have to update the firmware.
2. Firmware update requires a microSD card.
3. Did the GoPro come with a microSD card? No, it didn't . Did they tell me I needed a microSD card? No, they didn't.
4. Very unimpressed.

Hero7 Black might destroy your irreplaceable footage
by Joseph M Rozier (1 out of 5 stars)
February 17, 2019

The GoPro Hero7 Black will occasionally stop recording video while the audio continues recording. I do not recommend buying this camera until this issue is fixed. The attached video shows an example of what this looks like.

I reported this issue to GoPro in November 2018, and many others have reported experiencing the same issue. (Search for "Hero7 Black Freezes, video file shows frozen image but audio continues recording" to find the thread on the GoPro forum.) After initially seeming to take the issue seriously, GoPro has stopped providing any updates on the issue.

I am using SD cards that GoPro recommends, have the latest firmware (manually installed from an SD card) and have tried adjusting many of the settings. My camera was replaced under warranty, but the replacement camera has the same issue.

It really is a shame because except for this issue the Hero7 Black is great. The picture quality is noticeably better than previous versions, and the HyperSmooth video stabilization is astoundingly good. Even with the freezing video issue I continue to use this camera because when it works it is great--I just make sure to constantly check to see if the video has frozen and know there's a good chance I'll lose footage between the times I check it. If you are planning on using the camera in scenarios where you can't constantly check to see if the video is frozen I wouldn't recommend it.

UPDATE. UNACCEPTABLE BATTERY LIFE
by Alfredo (3 out of 5 stars)
January 2, 2019

UPDATE: 2/19. I had to buy extra GoPro Batteries. I raised it to 3 stars because the quality of the video is impressive!
-------

Although the picture quality is great, the battery life is unacceptable. I literally get maybe 30 seconds of video before it dies on me. That is not ok.

I'm wanting to think I received a defective unit...which if that's the case I hope they make it right for me before returning the whole set up.

It overheats a lot too. In the luckily 30 seconds of video I get at 2.7 or 1080, the camera turns extremely hot to the touch.

I really hope its a defective unit and that Amazon or Gopro make it right for me.
