About this item
- Streamlined Design: The 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.
- HERO8 Black Mods: Vloggers, pro filmmakers and aspiring creators can do more than ever imagined—with quick-loading accessories like flashes, microphones, LCD screens and more. Just add the optional Media Mod to up your capture game.
- HyperSmooth 2.0: Smooth 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 2.0: Capture 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.
- LiveBurst: Record 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.
- What's Included: HERO8 Black Camera, Rechargeable Battery, Curved Adhesive Mount, Mounting Buckle, USB-C Cable, Thumb Screw, and Carrying Case

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I will be buying another one soon. The only issue I have is the battery life isn't as long as I would like.
Battery life is poor - so I bought a 3 pack 3rd party set of batteries.
Using it for YouTube streaming. I wish the pic was a little better, but I’ll work with it.
It is compact and after you learn it and get the feel of how it proforms it’s great.
I will say that video quality is great when this thing works, but over a period of 2-3weeks I got so fed up with the other issues I finally decided to send both cameras back for a refund. I have no idea how GoPros are so highly rated or so ubiquitous in the action camera world. Maybe it's lack of competition. I just don't get it. I might put up with some flaws for a less expensive camera, but at $300 each, plus $40-50 in accessories to use each camera, I had invested around $700 on the two cameras and felt like it was a massive mistake.
When it works, I've been very happy with the image and video quality. We've used this quite a few times skiing and on the road, both videos and time lapses. I really like the Hyperlapse functionality!
However, the camera is VERY, VERY unreliable. (Did I mention it's unreliable?)
The worst thing is that the camera WILL NOT TURN ON around 50% of the time. Of course, this is usually right when I want to use it. I can swap in and out batteries, plug it in, etc, but nothing changes. The camera will refuse to start up for several hours. This is with the various tricks to reset it (for instance, hold the button for 10s, then release for 3s, then press again, etc). The camera will just decide not to start for a while, and that's it. Usually it puts itself out of commission for the whole day. So I lose all ability to use it for skiing, or a road trip, etc.
When it does turn on, it won't connect to a smartphone very well. The phone will fail to connect pretty randomly, roughly a 40% failure rate. Fortunately, this appears to be completely random. Trying over and over usually works.
Why is this thing so unreliable? I have no idea, since the camera provides absolutely no diagnostics at all. It just won't work about half the time, and you'll have no idea why.
I'll get another sports camera. I'd recommend people avoid the Hero8 since I really need a camera to be reliable.

So overall, I am so far quite happy with it, and will see how it goes from now.
Run it directly off the power-bank .... still nothing, no status light etc.
Dead as a door nail, so much for that excellent price, eh!?
