in today's video I'm gonna be reviewing the GoPro here 7 black so stay tuned we
haven't seen my unboxing and test video I'll link it down below so you can have
a look boy look really pleased with this action camera this is probably the best
action camera and I've used so far you know coming from a budget action camera
which is the sjcam 4000 definitely huge difference for me using this but anyway
so before forget for those of you are new to this channel welcome and if you

that notification button so they don't miss out on any of my new videos every
week now that's out of the way let's get straight to the review video it's not
really surprised that the design and build of the hero 7 is essentially
identical to the previous models like the GoPro Hero 5 and the 6 camera
maintains the same physical design and main key specs of its predecessors again
including a 12 megapixel sensor you know supporting 4k video recording up to 60
frames per second 1080p at 240 frames per second check the description down
below for the full specifications of the hero 7 black ok firstly I'm gonna cover
up a couple of the new features added to the here 7 black and what my thoughts
are about those features one of the main new features of the gear 7 black is the
hyper smooth now I'm really liking this hyper smooth stabilization essentially
the hair 7 black predicts your movements and corrects for camera shakes to
deliver insanely smooth footage like this one
this is combination of hardware and software algorithms and it's the optical
image stabilization by the way if you want to see more hyper smooth footage
I'll drop the link down below so you can have a look at my compilation video bear
in mind the hyper spoon works in most video resolutions and frame rates you
just won't get it at 1080p or a 2.7 K with 120 frames per second given its
small size plus the hyper smooth you don't necessarily need a gimbal to
stabilize your shots like it's not a mechanical one of
I don't need to bring this anymore because this one can do it all okay next
is the time war basically Time Warp is what you get when you
combine a time-lapse or moving time-lapse with the hyper smooth
stabilization it's very smooth very efficient so much easier to do
hyperlapse now you can select various speeds between x 2 or x 30 depending on
how long your video is it really makes it easy to make the hyperlapse now the
other one that's been added is live streaming this is something that I don't
really use much plus I don't really live stream maybe one day in the near future
however all I can say is it is pretty easy to set up you'll just need to
connect the camera up to your phone and select live stream mode the only
drawback is that you can only string up to 720p if you really have a weak or bad
connection then you can drop it down to 480p go quickly cover up some of the
minor features that's been added now you can actually do a proper portrait mode
now with the GoPro Hero 7 black vertical video mode which you can share to your
social media platforms I'm more of a video guy don't necessarily take a lot
of photos with a GoPro however from what I'm saying and here's some examples it
looks really good it's not bad for an action camera voice command seems to
work properly in my experience I never really had any issues for the voice
commands and the new user interface looks nice and simple let's talk about
the video quality the video quality from what I've seen is superb on saying that
I was shooting mostly in really bright areas so I have to say that in really
good lighting environment the video quality is superb you can see the
details details are nice and crisp sharpness can be a little bit too much
for me however that's where approach hearing comes in think protune as the
manual mode for the action camera where you can customize the settings of your
footage you know if you want a color grey you will need to recorded protune
mode you don't change the color profile the flat profile you don't change the
shutter speed you can change quite a number of things in there sharpness
exposure your exposure levels and that's what makes it really good if you want to
shoot cinematic footage and you want to match
you know your DSLR to the action camera protein will definitely help you do that
shooting a relatively low light environment you will definitely see a
lot of noise popping it out into your footage try not to shoot in really dark
places as this will crank up the ISO if you want to control the noise in your
footage switch to approaching mode set the max ISO and try shooting in
relatively bright carries that will help you control the noise level people see
the sound poppy is actually not bad it's not the best look it's an action camera
it's small however compared to my sjcam you know this sound quality is a lot
better I did blog with the GoPro here seven black do have a video on that one
I'll drop the link down below so you can have a little tested it out and yet kind
of works well however I am still waiting for you know the connector to connect
this with my rode mic you know if I want to connect a rode mic over here and I
can't even get one because it current it's currently sold out so once I do get
it I'm gonna retry vlogging and see how that works so far yes you can vlog
without the rode mic position yourself like this or you know if you got an
accessory you got an accessory like this you can put that in there and yeah it's
like a selfie stick and then yeah you can vlog about it the only thing is you
won't be able to see yourself so you just need to try position yourself
properly touch screen when it works it works like a charm
however most of the time it's actually pretty annoying like I don't know it can
be challenging to use this touch screens change the menus I think it'll be even
harder if you actually attach a screen protector and finally probably one of
the biggest issues with any GoPro is the battery life I feel like it really comes
down to your settings and what's enabled when you're using this you know for me
I'm getting about 45 to 50 minutes before I have to recharge again the only
real solution is to buy extra battery if you are constantly using the year
seven black Bible batteries is cheap anyway lots of positive things to say
about the here seven black I'm blown away with the Harvest Moon stabilization
and liking the time work features I'm liking the 4k 60 frames per second
quality footage in here plus there's a lot of accessories to choose from
especially because it's design essentially the same as its predecessors
and underwater selfie stick you can have two lane your the year you know this one
was originally for the GoPro Hero 5 you know you can use it with a hero 7 you
know again this is compatible with the hero 7 black overall the GoPro here 7
black is the best action camera that you can purchase right now so that's really
about it thank you so much for watching I hope you enjoyed my quick review of
