Review on GoPro Hero 7 Black Bundle - Extra Battery + Super Suit Dive Housing Case + 64GB SD Card - E-Commerce Packaging - Waterproof Digital Action Camera with Touch Screen, 4K HD Video, 12MP Photos, Live Streaming, and Stabilization by Ada Atusia
Nice price, good quality.
The camera left me with very conflicting thoughts and feelings. 1. Video. Very respectable and with pleasant illumination. When there is not enough light, the image becomes significantly less sharp. I have a sneaking suspicion that the noise was purposefully muddled on purpose in order to bring down the bitrate. The stabilizer is very good, but the quality of the work it does is contingent on the frame rate. At a rate of fifty frames per second, one could say that it functions flawlessly. At a rate of 200 frames per second, the quality is much lower. Therefore, the conclusion is that everything should be fine, the camera is very suitable, as long as you plan to shoot between 30 and 50 frames per second in well-lit environments. 2. Batteries are a nightmare; I discussed this topic in the previous paragraph. 3. Computer work and various forms of software. And as a result, initial suspicions that the software in the camera itself is not very well optimized turn into a firm belief that the programming department there is of very poor quality. I downloaded and installed their app on my android. After that, the frantic activity started. The application is aware that the camera is present but does not wish to establish a connection with it. However, despite the fact that the connection "is," nothing takes place. And everything else along those lines. After experiencing such "enjoyment" for a couple of hours, I was finally able to give the camera a name, update its firmware, and briefly examine a preview of the files that were stored within it. Another one in a long line of "misunderstandings": in order to link up with the phone, they make use of both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth simultaneously. To what end? despite the fact that in the chamber every ounce of energy counts as something important. 4. Attach any necessary fasteners. If only it weren't quite so tragic, it might be funny. The kit comes with a pair of pads, one of which is flat and the other is bent, that can be attached to the helmet using Velcro. The fact that there is NOT a threaded tripod mount is, however, very important. Is this method effective in reducing the use of plastic (despite the fact that such a "device" costs a and a half dollars)? No. Within the packaging, the camera is fastened to a substantial piece of plastic that is large enough to accommodate three mounts of this type. Evidently, and in this case, they desired to cut the dough in order to make room for a "additional device." To be fair, we should mention that it is possible to fashion a makeshift miniature tripod out of this piece of plastic if you carefully remove it from the packaging and trim off any excess. However, this already constitutes a "circle of skilled hands."
- + Video quality when the lighting is adequate + Good stabilization even when the frame rate is low + Dimensions + (although the weight in the existing dimensions is rather small - the impression is that half of the volume is occupied by an iron blank)
- The BATTERY project was unsuccessful. Only approximately sixty minutes of shooting time can be obtained from the brand new native battery. If the camera is not turned off completely, then the battery will continue to be used quite actively even when it is in standby mode and the screen is turned off. At the same time, a significant amount of energy is being wasted: not only does it heat up noticeably when it is set to the shooting mode, but it also gets noticeably warm even when it is turned on but does virtually nothing. It is abundantly clear that both the hardware and, more importantly, the software in question are not optimized. What do we end up with as a consequence of this? You are only able to shoot a scene that has been pre-planned if you only have one standard battery pack. There is a possibility that there is not enough battery for all of the various kinds of searches for plans, waiting for moments, and other arts. Also, for the purpose of shooting "everything in a row," it will most certainly not be sufficient. Then there is another issue that is connected to this one. Because Because the running time is measured in minutes rather than hours, you should always keep in mind that the battery will run out of juice soon and that you will need to replace it. And to accomplish this, let's say while free falling from a height of one kilometer above the ground, it will be somewhat challenging to say the least. Because of this, you are going to mess up the shooting. In conclusion, in addition to the battery for the box, you will only need to purchase two to three additional batteries and a charger for them (otherwise it will take you all day to charge them one at a time). And this (let's take off-prices off-site) comes to 2 times $30 plus $65 total. Even more than a third of the cost of the camera itself, those are required for shooting in more or less comfortable conditions while out in the field during the day. And it can be charged via USB. In addition, you have the option of purchasing a power supply that allows for accelerated charging; however, this will cost you an additional $ plus. - The activity of computer programmers Although it is not nearly as good as it could be, the camera's firmware is still in a state of back and forth. However, the external software is only the finishing touch. up until the point where it became completely unusable. - A threaded tripod mount is not included in this package. However, there is an attachment to the shipping box that can be described as "very necessary" and "quite serious." - Expensive for a set that already has jambs, and you will need to spend an additional fifty percent of the cost of this camera in order to be able to shoot normally and not just in the immediate vicinity of the outlet.
