Expensive compared to Hero 7 Black and DJI Osmo Action
As mentioned up top, the Hero 8 Black builds on the features introduced with the last model and ups the ante by way of abilities like Hypersmooth 2.0 and Horizon Levelling to cement itself as the action camera of choice.There's still obvious room for impr...

Fold-out prongs mean you don't need a cage to mount it, Better video stabilisation, New timelapse features are great
Won't fit older GoPro cases, A little pricey
The GoPro Hero 8 Black doesn't represent a massive jump forward in image quality over the Hero 7 Black, then, but GoPro hasn't rested on its laurels. The new built-in mounting prongs are a big improvement over the clunky clip-on frame of previous generati...
Abstract: The Hero 8 Black is the latest offering from GoPro. It's a fairly modest upgrade over last year's Hero 7 with improved image stabilisation, convenient video presets and a new frameless mounting system. But in reality, most of us aren't upgrading their act...
Very good, not fantastic photos, Still poor lowlight performance, Small display
At £379, the GoPro Hero8 Black is anything but cheap, but the experience it delivers isn't cheap either. There are a couple of things we would have liked to have seen - a bigger screen and better low light video capture. In addition, getting footage on a...

No front-facing display as standard, Unreliable voice commands,
The GoPro Hero 8 Black's frameless design makes it super-simple to use and ultra-clean looking. GoPro's new flagship shooter is the most powerful and feature-rich action camera in the world, with a simple yet highly-intuitive interface that makes it easy...
GoPro's updates to its stabilization, microphone placement, in-built mount and smartphone application are solid improvements that genuinely turn the dial on the Hero 8 Black's usability. If you are looking to capture action sports footage, the ruggedness...
Built-in mounting fingers, Minor improvements to video and audio quality, UI now more customisable, HyperSmooth stabilisation works in all resolutions and frame rates,
Expensive compared to Hero 7 Black and DJI Osmo Action, Lens cover no longer removable, Mods accessories not yet available,
The best GoPro yet, but without its Mod accessories the Hero 8 Black is only a mild improvement on its predecessor - and one that struggles to justify its £50 premium over the Hero 7 Black or DJI Osmo Action. There are minor upgrades to video quality, aud...

Battery life is still limited, Slightly bigger than previous model, Power/Mode button isn't as easy to press
