This is HERO8 Black—the most versatile, unshakable HERO camera ever. A streamlined design makes it more pocketable than ever, and swapping mounts takes just seconds, thanks to built-in folding fingers. And with the optional Media Mod, you get ultimate expandability to add more lighting, pro audio and even another screen. There’s also game-changing HyperSmooth 2.0 stabilization with jaw-dropping slo-mo.
Footnote:

Streamlined DesignThe reimagined shape is more pocketable, and folding fingers at the base let you swap mounts quickly. A new side door makes changing batteries even faster, and the lens is now 2x more impact resistant. (1) |
HyperSmooth 2.0Smooth just got smoother. Now HERO8 Black has three levels of stabilization—On, High and Boost— so you can pick the best option for whatever you do. Get the widest views possible, or boost it up to the smoothest video ever offered in a HERO camera. Plus, HyperSmooth works with all resolutions and frame rates, and features in-app horizon leveling. |
TimeWarp 2.0Capture super stabilized time lapse videos while you move through an activity. And now, TimeWarp automatically adjusts speed based on motion, scene detection and lighting. You can even slow down the effect to real time—savoring interesting moments—and then tap to speed it back up. |
LiveBurstRecord the moments 1.5 seconds before and after your shot, so you can choose the best single frame for the perfect photo—or an awesome shareable video. |

SuperPhoto + HDRCapture killer 12MP photos with improved HDR—while in motion or stationary—with reduced blur and serious detail even in low-light areas. |
Night Lapse VideoShoot awesome time lapse videos at night in 4K, 2.7K 4:3, 1440p or 1080p, all processed in-camera. |
Digital LensesFraming your shot is as easy as tapping a new digital lens. Now you can toggle between Narrow, Linear, Wide and SuperView. |
