Review on GoPro HERO8 Black Ultimate Bundle - HERO8 Black Camera, Shorty, Head Strap, 32GB SD Card, 2 Rechargeable Batteries by Vanchay Peawang ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I have a special bundle, it had a basic set of accessories, in particular, a telescopic tripod, a spare battery, a head mount. Both a tripod and a spare battery are required. She sits down quickly, after 40 minutes from the start of shooting, so at least two batteries are needed. This is not its disadvantage, given the size, it just needs to be borne in mind. In winter, when it is cold, the recording time may be reduced, but I had no problems with this (when skiing). The problem arose with the fact that I did not pick up the memory card correctly. There is a line of sandisk ultra memory cards, which seems to be inexpensive, and you can pick up 128Gb within 1500-2022. I purchased two of these cards from a well-known company, but one of them soon died. I returned it without problems under warranty, but I realized that I need to pay attention to the manufacturer's recommendations. There are memory cards for phones, they are just inexpensive, but they may not work correctly with GoPro due to the slow speed of writing / reading files. As a result, I took a sandisk extreme pro card, and it is designed specifically to work with 4k video. Therefore, pay attention to the manufacturer's recommendations when choosing memory cards, their speed. It makes no sense to take a memory card less than 128Gb, ​​since 4k quality takes up a lot of space. And shooting in full hd mode after 4k is not comfortable - the difference is striking and visible to the naked eye. Stabilization works beyond praise. The main usage scenarios are wakeboard, jet ski with active riding. Accordingly, the camera is constantly shaking, but the picture remains smooth and pleasant. In the dark, it takes a good photo with a tripod and shutter speed, but for video it is better to choose another device - night shooting is the gopro's Achilles heel. It’s suitable for travel vlogs, but if you have to take selfies during filming, then it’s better to choose Hero 9, there is just a lack of a color screen on the front side. If there is no selfie shooting, the camera is excellent, relevant in 2022 and for the next 2-3 years for sure

Pros
  • The feeling of a quality thing when you hold it in your hands Shooting quality Stabilization Accessories Easy pairing via app Convenient attachment of accessories Water resistant in stock Versatility (size, build quality) for travel Can be used for video blogging (with reservations)
Cons
  • Occasionally freezes, you need to remove-insert acb The battery runs out quickly when recording in 4K (see comment) Not all memory cards will fit (see comment) Poor night video quality
