No Live streaming feature, Lens scratches easily, Same old audio issues
The build and design of the GoPro Hero 6 Black is essentially the same as the Hero 5. Aside from the logo on the side of the lens there really is no difference. If you liked the design of the Hero 5, which I did, then the Hero 6 Black is the same and so a...

Abstract: GoPro has been the leader on action cameras from the very beginning, and its brand has attained a kind of Xerox-like omnipotence - despite the company's ongoing struggles in recent years. Amongst GoPro's problems is the difficulty in making the improvemen...
