Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.

After years of using knockoffs made in China, I finally made the switch to a Gopro. A variety of reactions. When I first heard it, I thought, "Wow," but it all worked out. With that kind of cash, I expected to find alien technology, but alas, not everything is shiny and new. The first thing that struck me was how well it stabilized my shots; I couldn't believe it when I saw that it performed like a manual steadicam but without any of the quality loss. The Chinese also experience a normal stabilization, but at a terrible cost to quality. I like the way it sounds. I wouldn't go so far as to call it excellent, but I haven't seen anything clearer or more legible on an action camera, either. The wind's rustling noise was very distracting in the Mandarin version, but the soundproofing is excellent here. The addition of a media module with improved audio quality serves no purpose here, as superior options exist. Shooting at 60 or 120 frames per second is fine, but 240 frames per second is garbage. Truth be said, 4K wasn't all that great, and my Yi 4K Plus takes better pictures. The program is set up worldwide but does not function in any of them. Camera works ok on mobile device, and even at ates, but when you activate the camera control it just waits for a long time and won't connect. A lot of the software on your computer is broken and constantly reboots. At 1080p60k and -3 degrees Celsius, the battery life is only 50 minutes, so I had to go out and get more power packs. Frustratingly, there are times when it fails to shut off immediately. It got stuck in the camera's settings once, so I had to take the batteries out. Here I am, snowboard in hand, at the end of a very long selfie stick; I was thrilled with the superview with a wide angle, and I remember inserting a wide lens on the sjcam. Overall, I found it to be quite adaptable, and the $10,000 I avoided spending on a steadicam and lens was well worth it. Unless you're willing to settle with the jambs, which are present in almost every Chinese dish, you'll likely have to give up some of the cuisine's more admirable characteristics. Even though goupro's main features are well-implemented and can be used simultaneously on a single device, some of the newer features leave a lot to be desired. Nevertheless, I'm willing to overlook this shortcoming because I haven't come across any viable alternatives. Oh oh, I think I may be addicted now.

Pros
  • Superb video steadiness; high-quality audio; expansive field of view in superview mode.
Cons
  • Poor software stability (on computers and mobile devices alike); a short battery life.

Pros below: my first camera, I liked the size, that it is not afraid of water and falls, with one click it starts shooting. The picture is colorful and clear. Some cons: Takes little time on a single battery charge.
