Pros
- - Very cool stabilization. Gopro works wonders. A purely software stub is great, it's really almost like a gimbal in terms of the result - the tremor of the hands is completely removed, even quite large shaking, bumps, etc. are almost completely eaten. I was very surprised that the gopro software stub is much better than the optical one in all the comparisons that I saw and in which I compared myself. - The video quality is excellent, this is approximately the level that the camera of the top-end smartphones of the latest models will give out (relevant for 2022) - everything that can be squeezed out of 1 / 2.3 is squeezed out. By the end of 2022, this is already more of a "middle and top" but nevertheless - plus or minus will be similar to how an older smartphone shoots. - Flexible ability to create a bunch of modes in the form of presets, which are then selected in a couple of taps. Modes are minimally limited by software. "Software lens change" for example - in fact, crop but works well for video. - Decent video recording modes. All sorts of 4k-60fps, and broken at 240fps. - Waterproof out of the box. Popularity partially compensates for the greed of the company that made a poor package (in the hope that you will buy more extras for half the price of the camera) - the Chinese quickly rivet billions of accessories.
Cons
- - Ergonomics. Yes, it is clear that the waterproof case dictates the conditions, but this creates specific problems. In just a few days of filming, there are already plenty of clips screwed up by the fact that the camera was accidentally switched to time-lapse mode. - It was not possible to test in frosts this winter, but in very moderate cold (0, - 1 degrees), the camera can freeze quite quickly. One way or another, the winter operating time, even with such not very cold, is very modest - it seemed subjectively that for 15-20 minutes of the total time in the on state, the camera goes to zero. - Still small 1 / 2.3 "in 2022-20th. Accordingly, pulling out the same color depth as in larger matrices will not work. In the dark, the camera turns into a pumpkin instantly, there is not a trace of the quality of shooting. The camera was created for shooting in daylight, in the twilight it should not be used. - The lens is also the usual ultra-chic fisheye. The software cut helps only partially, and the "solution" is not indisputable. Very strong distortion, the wider mode is on - the stronger. - Glitches, firmware dampness. At some point it comes to the fore. The reliability of the camera is sometimes a bottom and a disgrace. You buy a branded product and it works in terms of reliability like Chinese rubbish for 1/10 of the price. For some reason, the camera gives out recording errors, then for some reason it suddenly turns on in your pocket and discharges to zero, then it just freezes and until you take out the battery it does not turn on. The interface is jerky. Glitches obviously no one is going to fix. As much as the work of programmers on the creation of electronic stabilization impressed, it also impresses in the negative direction with the terrible rest of the firmware. - The price still looks too high for a small camera with a small matrix and not a very fresh processor. Especially in 2022. At the same time, the equipment is very poor. - Actually, equipment. Protective box - separately. Glass on the lens - separately, etc. There is no standard screw for tripods, all accessories - look separately. Etc.
Pros
- This is the BEST action camera ever! I bought it for general shooting and for small trips. Showed herself just EXCELLENT! Yes, and for such money just a gorgeous picture! 4k 60fps is not on every prof. camera.
Cons
- No at all, everything is top!
Pros
- The lack of a frame is a plus, a faster processor, better sound. Good stabilization, but you should use it carefully - it cuts the frame a lot. Interesting Timewarp mode - and the picture is smooth, and the speed can be changed) The "ears" of the mount are securely attached to the body when folded
Cons
- Before that, I used Gopro 5 for 2.5 years and you know . in 3 years after this model, the difference in shooting quality and in general for the product improved by a very small step - all these improvements could be put in a year and a half, but in three already imagine something really worthwhile. I even got the feeling that since the goupro 5 the matrix and the entire photomodule have not been changed yet - the difference in the quality of the pictures in the photo is just minimal, and it just sucks! The stabilization is cool, no doubt, but everything else - it seems to be improved by Gopro 5 three years ago. And it still has the same small main display, in which it is still inconvenient to navigate through the menu. Damn, well, for 3 generations it was possible to put something bigger ? + On the Linear mode, the photo still cannot be taken in equal - how so ? The processor can't handle this?
Pros
- Works. There are a lot of cheap accessories on Ali, but you need to look for reliable ones according to reviews. I have everything that came, everything is excellent.
Cons
- For September 2022, more than one electronic stabilizer is not suitable. The gadget is a little larger (by 2-3 mm.) But it doesn’t fit anywhere, I studied all the stubs, I even bought one (the manager assured me that this one would definitely fit), but alas, this is a significant flaw. The seven can be put in a stub and get a gorgeous video, almost a movie. I don’t want to with a stub, go-pro will fly out for one or two and goodbye.
Pros
- Compared to my old 3+, this is just space! Perfect stabilization, no stupid aqua box, very comfortable mounting feet that are easy to remove. A very convenient display with the ability to save your own presets and quickly switch to the desired mode. 4K at 60 fps - well, isn't it cool?)
Cons
- The camera does not shoot well in low light conditions, for example, when shooting in the office, there is a lot of noise on the video. The battery is consumed faster than stated and the camera itself is sometimes very hot.
Pros
- Shooting quality Variety of modes and their settings Excellent video stabilization Ability to take photos It is possible to remove the "fisheye" in the camera itself Huge number of accessories
Cons
- The battery doesn't last as long as I would like. But it is possible to quickly replace the battery, also charging via USB type C wire
Pros
- The feeling one receives when they are in possession of something of superior quality in their hands. The norm for the practice of shooting Stabilization Accessories Easy connection via app Facilitated attachment of optional extras in a user-friendly fashion Accessible in a form that is resistant to water Capability, in terms of both size and construction quality, for use while traveling Activates the capacity for the production of video blogs (with reservations)
Cons
- Because of the possibility of freezing weather, you need to remove and then reinstall the acb. While recording in 4K, the amount of time that the battery can last is drastically cut down (see comment) There are some memory cards that cannot be utilized in any device (see comment) Poor video quality experienced throughout the night
Pros
- A high-quality action camera. They have maintained their position as the industry leaders they initially achieved.
Cons
- None of it is available for my usage.
Pros
- Compared to the GoPro7, this model has: - Enhanced stabilization, including the ability to set the "degree of stabilization" - Better sound quality Both hypersmooth and boost will function at frame rates between 100 and 120 frames per second, but only hypersmooth will function at frame rates between 200 and 240. (on the seven at 100-120 there was not even hypersmooth, at 200-240 there was no stabilization) You have control over the bitrate and can choose between normal and high (for editing and shooting in flat straight balm for the soul) - Other parameters that are displayed directly on the screen, as well as customizable presets, which reduce the amount of time spent tinkering with the settings. - Internally anchored fasteners (lugs). It is bolstered, and a frame is constructed all the way around the chamber's periphery, making it more difficult to rip it out of its place. - The cover has a single and a side image. Now, in order to swap out the card or the battery, you do not need to take apart the entire device; rather, you just only open the cover, and that is all there is to it. - Digital lens, numerous viewing angle adjustment modes (from wide to very narrow) I won't discuss the various kinds of media modules, screens, and lamps because they haven't been released live yet, and who really needs them when they use external recorders and lights, which are even better? I won't. Although the price of the Zoom H1 is comparable to that of a media module, the capabilities and quality of the device are significantly higher.
Cons
- - Due to the changed lens, now it is so easy not to put the same polarizing filter and the old ones will not work, you will have to use clumsy Chinese designs. - The sound of the speaker has become quieter, and when using the camera in the box, you will need to listen. - The power button is in an unusual location (it hasn't been moved to the other side), and I haven't gotten used to it yet; as a result, I frequently press it by accident when opening or closing the lid of the laptop. - They were too clever with the new batteries; it appears that they added some kind of identification chips there. Even people who are native to the seven, much alone Chinese, testify that "not all functionalities are available" now. In point of fact, everything is still available, although doing so will be emotionally taxing. Once we have checked "do not show again," it will no longer be displayed.
Pros
- - small - various available accessories
Cons
- - meaningless in actual practice
