If you want the best image stabilisation, with the option to slow down your footage AND maintain a decent resolution, 2.7K at 60FPS is probably your best option.
But you can’t use this in many of the higher frame rate slo-mo modes like 4K 60FPS or 2.7K 120FPS. Hypersmooth 2.0 High mode is usually the best option with its new improved image stabilisation over the Hero 7, whilst still impressively maintaining the 10% crop.
You will need good light for the best image stabilisation and although much improved over previous models, all stabilisation methods aren’t available in all capture modes which is a little frustrating and can get confusing. The tighter crop of Boost mode might not be that significant either depending on what you’re filming. Choosing Hypersmooth 2.0 High modeĮnabling image stabilisation does crop into the video frame by around 10% and even tighter in the even smoother Boost mode, but you have a wide field of view to begin with, so the 10% crop is negligible. Without a gimbal, action footage from the Hero 5 and previous models was often difficult to watch, despite all of GoPro’s marketing videos showing otherwise. It’s a decent step up from the Hero 7 and a giant leap from the Hero 5. I’ve always been unsure just how good electronic image stabilisation could be, but it’s hard not to be impressed with this latest iteration. And the Hero 8 now has Hypersmooth version 2. Two years on the Hero 7 much improved on this initial effort with Hypersmooth. The Hero 5 first introduced electronic image stablisation to the GoPro line-up, but the results were not particularly impressive. Image stabilisation & video quality Stabilisation is much improved In no particular order I’ll cover 10 reasons it may be time to upgrade to the latest and greatest Hero 8 Black, as well as that one reason you might want to wait off! 1. There’s a new processor, far superior image stabilisation, a 60 FPS 4K mode plus a host of other new features, but there’s also one new “feature” that is actually a significant downgrade and might just put you off upgrading all together! 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.īut in reality, most of us aren’t upgrading their action cameras every year so I’m interested to find out how it compares to the now three year old GoPro Hero 5. The Hero 8 Black is the latest offering from GoPro.
