Performance

Our GoPro Hero7 Black review has found it to have some of the best performance in its class. It’s capable of recording 4K Ultra HD video at 60 fps and 8x slo-mo at Full HD. It also takes incredible pictures at 12 MP. One of the key areas that have been improved is the audio recording capabilities thanks to a better microphone. One of the main tricks of the Hero 7 Black is the amazing Hypersmooth feature which eliminates the need for a gimbal by providing excellent stabilization. For a cheaper rival, check out the Akaso EK7000. Also, why not check out these 15 extreme GoPro videos that’ll get your adrenaline pumping!

Design

Every time we review GoPro cameras, the design has been improved. The Hero 7 Black comes in a compact package with rounded edges and a matte black finish. All the buttons are large and easy to reach and there’s a removable lens cover to prevent dirt and scratches. For such a compact design, they’ve managed to fit in many extra features like voice command and extra shooting modes like Timewarp video, and SuperPhoto. One of the best things about GoPro cameras is the large range of accessories available. For a cheaper option, try the Dragon Touch 4K Action Camera.

Value

There are many cheaper action cameras out there, but GoPro still has some of the best value for money. The company doesn’t cut corners and they put out durable products with lots of features and support that’s second to none. The Hero 7 Black has incredible video and picture quality and many extra features like voice control and shooting modes. It also has a long list of aftermarket accessories that other brands can’t match. If you need a camera with better waterproofing, the Sony FDR-X3000 is a better option.

GoPro Hero 7 Black Wrap Up

With the Hero 7 Black, GoPro have proved that they are still ahead of the competition. The stabilization alone is better than nearly anything out there. The battery life isn’t great but that can be said for most action cameras. The Hero 7 is worth checking out, especially since it’s going cheaper than the new Hero 8.
