- Whoa
This came outta nowhere.
I remember just browsing the internet and suddenly
was like Go Pro Hero 7 black,
is that coming in a few months?
No, it's here!
Today's topic is the Go Pro Hero7.
Now let me preface by saying last year I made a review
video, kind of trying to share my tips and tricks
with how to make Go Pro footage look
less like Go Pro footage.
Now I know they're action cams and for that
specific type of filming, so good!
There's nothing better, they're the best!
I just don't do a whole lot of action stuff but I
still feel like the size of the camera is very
helpful and beneficial, because they go places
that normal cameras just can't go.
And that's why I think they are very good
to keep in your kit but I just didn't like
the Hero6 very much, I just felt like I could never
get it to look the way the Go Pro made it look.
Like I would watch their demo video, like their promo video,
and be like "Yo that looks so sick, add to cart
I need you in my life" and was never really able to
emulate that, like it just looked so good and mine
just looked so bad all the time.
I made a video last year about that, on that specific video
someone reached out on the comments, who used to work
for Go Pro and listed all the settings that they used.
Right here
So take a look at the screen that is the settings
that apparently Go Pro used to shoot their videos.
So based off that I'll buy it again because
their promo with this hyper smooth, like it just,
either that's completely fake or it's
actually that good.
Full disclosure, right up front, it looks that good.
Go Pro's not paying me to say this, I paid full price
for this camera, if you guys saw Matty's review
you'll remember this part.
- It's all paid for it's probably blurry cause..
- I got my receipt too, I also got it.
I got this the first day that it came out,
I've updated all the firmware.
This date, where you are watching this video, the camera
is fully updated, does 4k 60 with hyper smooth
and a whole bunch of delicious frame rates.
The purpose of this video, what I wanna do is use
it how people would probably use it that don't
necessarily have a heavy interest in action sports
but still wanna use a Go Pro for everyday things.
Or maybe try to make cinematic sequences
out of Go Pro footage or I do have a jet ski
so I will show you some of that because
the stabilization within this camera is actually,
like when I heard them say you don't really
need a gimble anymore because there's like a
gimble built into this.
It's so shockingly incredible and you'll see after,
like I'm just going to stop talking and
lets just, heres some clips of us having
fun for the first couple days with the Hero7.
(upbeat dance music)
(soft engine sounds)
Welcome back, I hope you guys enjoyed that footage.
It looks good right, it actually looks so good.
Now I love using my Ronan S with my big DSLR and
mirrorless and all that stuff but knowing that
this can do like very, very good stabilization
if I just hold it in my mouth or run around
with it in my hand, it's going to let me vlog
in more places that walking through an airport
shouting at a giant 1DX mark 2 or whatever,
huge mic on the front, it looks great but
it's awkward and there's a lot of times where
I travel and do things that I would normally film but
I'm like I can't be bothered I'm not setting
up the whole rig and walking in Walmart.
That's kind of the way my mind works when we're
shooting videos but now that this is so great
and the stabilization looks so good I will probably be
using this a lot more.
By this point, in this video that you're watching if you saw
Monday's vlog I actually used it with the hyper lapse
mode driving to the city, I had it in my mouth
climbing into the window to the office.
Just little things like that it's going to be
just so beneficial.
Hyper smooth and all that stuff is being heavily
advertised to promote and sell the 7.
I had a very hard time finding what physical differences
might or might not be between these two cameras.
Like is this, a better camera internally?
Does it use the same chip, the same processor?
Because I didn't want to come out and say the
footage looks so much better when it's like the
exact same image processor.
But I did find something online,
a little bit of like a list.
They've added the Hypersmooth, I'm going to read this
right off my phone, they've added the
ability to do 4k 60 as well.
Apparently it uses the exact same GoPro GP1 chip
so as far as image quality or processing
quality it's the same as the 6.
They added Timewarp for hyper lapse so the
hyper lapses now look, they actually look amazing.
If I was going to hyper lapse anything I would
straight up grab this, walk around, do it hand held
or use this big Johnny stick here and just like
(sound effects)
do that and you know, just walk around
and hyper lapse the hell out of life cause it looks so good.
They've completely revamped the interface on
the back of the camera and with each iteration of
the GoPro it does look better and it's more
and more and more easier to use,
And there's not much going on makes it
faster to use, which I appreciate.
There's a new ability now for the orientation of
the screen to flip vertical, so you flip to GoPro
vertical and all the controls flip with it.
You don't have to read everything sideways.
The audio is noticeably better, when we were riding some
jet ski's with these on last week even through crazy wind
at like 80 km per hour on the open water you could still
hear Matty shouting at his camera holding his stick out.
Like heres an example from his video.
- Whoa!
This is stable, can you hear anything?
- And you can still hear it so that's pretty
good for a GoPro but I noticed the audio was good
but if water hit my GoPro it would instantly kind of
muffle that mic.
- [Voice Offscreen] Are you cutting the engine?
When you throw it the other way do you give it gas?
Yeah?
You give it gas?
So if you were thinking about using this to vlog, maybe if
you were walking around with it and there was no elements
actually like beating down on it.
It would probably sound great because
the audio is considerably better.
Just based on the fact that the audio is better,
the hyper lapse modes and time lapse modes are awesome.
The hyper smooth stuff is now with 4k 60 and 24P
and it just works so well with those updated settings
and everything I just listed.
It's definitely, definitely, worth the upgrade.
And I am so far starting to actually enjoy using the GoPro.
I came into this thinking like "oh man, I'm going to
make another video about how much I dislike this camera".
You guys know I have not liked GoPro's for as
long as I've been using them, they've just been hard
to use and they just have never looked good.
The one thing I will say is like I noticed the still suffers
in low light, like if you're shooting indoors at night
with artificial light or it's really dark outside
it's just not gonna look good.
It's really, really, grainy so that's where like your
DSLR or you're mirrorless will just crush this.
That makes it a bit hard for vlogging because you're not
always vlogging in perfect light.
So if it's not like really nice and sunny out
or overcast or you have great light on you like this,
chances are if you're indoors or it's
dark it's not going to perform like you would expect
a very high end, larger image sensor, to perform.
To wrap this up, to re-cap.
I didn't like the 6, really didn't like GoPro's at all.
I wanted to, I always wanted to because I do see the value.
These didn't work for me.
Not to say they didn't work for other people,
they just didn't work for me.
This camera works for me.
I will be bringing this in my bag everywhere I go
and I will be using it as much as I can to
try and just add more of a creative flare,
a little spice, a little juice on top of my videos
Because I think this will do that for me.
Especially with a lot of the stuff I've been
doing lately like jet ski's and snowmobile's
and that kind of thing.
Little fun fact here, the clamp that it comes with
this clamp right here, when the GoPro is attached
to it this works perfectly in your mouth.
You're maybe like "wait what" the reason I do that
is because when it's on your head it's
just a little too high, a little too
beyond first person and when it is
on your chest with that chest mount I always have
the issue of at some point it gets knocked and
then you know, your riding a jet ski and this is your view.
That's not fun.
So the head's a little bit too high the
chest is just a little bit too low but
in your mouth, using this clamp
you can just rock it right here.
You can even talk over it if you want
so if you were really trying to get footage
and you really need to say a few things, you could.
It sounds ridiculous but like if I'm going
into a store or a shop to buy some dog food
or whatever, my hands are free and you know
(zipper noise)
All that stuff is captured right up close
at a very good angle, its not up here
its not here, its here which is great.
That's the knob that comes with it,
you can use it in your mouth and it works amazing.
That's something I'm going to be trying to do a lot
more of, like walking onto planes and you know
putting my bags in the overhead and just all the
little things that I don't usually.
Like vlogging is super easy with this because
(grunting)
It lives there.
(beep)
They scan your ticket, your walking down the jet way.
(boop boop)
You're done!
All in all I'm a fan of this GoPro.
I'm going to use it for the next few months
and then I'd love to make another video compiling
everything that I've used it for that I'm
talking about right now that I want to use it for.
Because in two months of solid use and vlog use
and abusing it and beating it around and
getting it wet and in all these different scenarios
and winter is coming.
Winter is coming.
That snowmobile season is about to start,
sled season super pumped for that.
I'd like to see then, what I think about it
after you know you've had time to get frustrated
with equipment and you know find things that you
had no idea would be things.
That's what I'm looking for, so were going to
recap this were going to revisit this in like
a couple months time maybe just before January
or in January so you can look out for that.
However if you were on the fence, I'm sold on it
so I mean if you have the money maybe it's
something worth looking into.
Go to a camera shop and get some hands
on experience, see if you really like it yourself.
So that's it for me, thank you so much for watching!
Hit that like button if you liked this video,
smash it (pow) if that's something that your into.
You could just click it too, if you wanted
you don't have to, you could just... Whatever.
Thank you for watching, subscribe if you aren't already.
And I will see you next week, bye!
Hang on a second, I'll do it this way.
