audio adapter issue fixed but not by GoPro...

- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2020It can shoot 4K at 50/60 frames per second, and the image quality in this video mode is perfect on a bright day (but degrades a lot indoors and in the night - the noise becomes annoying once the ISO setting goes beyond 800). The electronic stabilization is great under a bright light. In dim light the electronic stabilization results into artifacts that ruin the image (so you should either use a gymbal, or mount it to a heavy stable object, or freeze when shooting your video). 2.7K seems to be a fake mode added for marketing purposes only - the quality looks the same as when upsampling the image shot in 1080. But the 4K video quality blows all competitor cameras away.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020The Gopro hero 8 was one of my best purchases ever.. Amazing action camera, good stabilitation, good video and photo quality.. It reached my home in good conditions..
The camera battery it's not super but it's ok!
The voice control isnt so good! But's fine, I think it's kinda trickly.
Pd: If you want to take care of your camera I recommend to buy it with acc kit that includes cover lens to protect the camera and an acrylic protector.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2020The video recording is just amazing, it's unrivalled by no other. I do wish there was a seperate easy mode for amateurs to using a GoPro. The photos are strikingly color accurate. The companion app isn't that great to use. As far as durability is concerned, the camera is very robust. But do note, that this time, you can't manually replace a cracked lense, so I would recommend a tempered glass lense protector. Also rather than buying a head mount for action stuff, consider buying a chest mount. Battery life is decent, but keeping an extra charged one is recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2020So far so good. Great fun taking pictures on the slopes and on the surfboard. Taken a few time lapse videos and they are amazing. Having a lot of fun with this camera. Can't wait to test it out more and see what else it can do. It did cost a pretty penny but it was well worth it. If you are looking for a new camera, look no further this one is amazing
- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2019The gopro 8 is amazing in every way. I am blown away with the upgrades to it. The hyper-lapse feature has already paid for the gopro 10x over doing a job where I needed the ability to go into realtime for a few secs and back to hyper-lapse. I wish the app would catch up and allow you to switch to real time from hyper-lapse remotely instead of only on camera.
The only issue is getting it properly mounted bc the mounting clips that pull down are convenient, but tend to make it wobble or very easy to set up crooked. The other thing with this package is that the “mini” tripod is a waste. It’s made of cheap plastic and has broken already, I would like to see a nice metal one that extends a little further and threaded so it can go on a tripod or light stand.

This GoPro adapter only works with mics with 2 RINGS on the tip not 3 rings on the tip should be on the packaging and the description
If you are using a mic with 3 rings on the tip like a purple panda mic you will need this extra adapter or you won't get any audio from your mic this is GoPro.s fault not the mic.s fault.

Audio Adapter does not work!! Returned audio adapter since the camera is a week old and never used. Received 2nd adapter and same issue so cant be the adapter must be the camera. Now as summer comes to a close I am waiting for GoPro to receive my return and send me another camera since I was 5 days past the refund date and couldnt just go to BestBuy and buy another one....
Started doing research and yep the audio adapter issues are happening to a lot of users. For this much money this should not be happening and the camera should not be getting this hot. I live in TX dont want to hear the heat shut the camera down...

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing.
I've been using an AKASO EK7000 and a Crosstour action camera for the past three years, and before I went to a GoPro, I didn't think it was worth the extra money. But it really is. It feels better made and more robust, and the camera quality and stabilization.... wow. What a difference.
First of all, the touch screen display is clear and responsive considering how small the screen is. The battery lasts a longggggggg time compared to the ASKASO and Crosstour. There's loads of different camera settings, with stabilization functions as well. You can adjust the camera zoom for a narrow, linear, wide, or ultra-wide viewing. As for the camera itself, I'd say it gets a 9/10 in my books. The reason it's not a 10 is because sometimes the quality of an object I’m filming on, from, let's say 40 feet away, doesn’t look as sharp as I'd like it to be - I'm being picky here.
The only things I don’t like, is you can’t charge it while you’re recording (I know, pain) and trying to remove the micro-SD card, which is right next to where the battery is, can be fiddly. Cards up to 256GB are compatible in case you wondered.
Now, if you're like me, and you want a reliable, high-quality, extremely smooth, and robust action camera, then it's a no brainer – buy one. However, if you only want a camera that’ll ‘do the job’ and has an okay picture quality, then there’s cheaper action cameras on the market.
The reason why I gave it 4/5 stars for ‘Value for money’ is because I bought it on the Amazon Prime Day deals, when it was £250 – which is brilliant value for money. Now, it’s back to £320.
I hope this helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Très bon produit mais s’il y avait des supports livrés avec ça serait le top...
Principalement pour mes randonnées VTT j’ai réussi de belles vidéos. Je suis très satisfait de ma GoPro. Mais il y a le problème qu’elle est livrée sans aucun support et que pour en trouver des solides ça reste assez compliqué. J’ai acheté un kit proposé dans une mallette mais c’est à fuir car cassé au bout de trois sorties.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best action camera out there
This is the BEST action camera out there.
Pros:
1. Image Stabilization is par excellence.
2. Image quality is comparable to flagship devices of any major smartphone brands. Can function as your secondary camera.
3. User interface is very easy to learn and use.
4. Sturdy. Built to last.
Cons:
1. Battery life should have been better. A single charge will last you about an 1-1.5 hours.
2. Touch screen response is a little off.
3. GoPro accesories are very expensive.
But overall, I must say this is an excellent buy. Will give 5 Stars.

StefanoReviewed in Italy on April 21, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars DAVVERO UNICA... Anche se con qualche difetto
Ho riflettuto un po' prima di recensire ma è doveroso da parte mia farlo e vi spiego il perché : ho sempre scacato GoPro!!!!!
Fin dalle prime versioni ho sempre avuto camere differenti rispetto alla ACTION CAM tipo Nikon AW110 (che tutt'ora spacca di brutto) e, con l'avanzare della concorrenza (vedi DJI o Insta) GoPro a mio avviso restava sempre un passo indietro e perdeva terreno.
Persino i contenuti degli ambassador o dei loro content creators non mi entusiasmavano... Fin quando, per puro caso, non mi sono deciso ad acquistarla alla ottava edizione HERO.
Premessa : nei miei viaggi porto sempre Mirrorless, AW110 per tutte le condizioni e smartphone (con eventuale DJI Osmo Mobile) ma in quest'ultimo ho deciso di puntare su GoPro e, complice un buono che avevo su Amazon, ho deciso di acquistarla e, senza mai averla provata, portarla con me in Argentina...
Vi premetto subito che la sintesi è GOPRO È AVANTI. Ma proprio ciò che li ha condotti avanti è anche il loro tallone d'achille : il software.
Riscalda si, lo avevo letto da qualche parte e lo sappiamo tutti... Ma nulla di fastidioso o insopportabile al tatto come alcuni vogliono far credere. Il vero problema per me è stata l'affidabilità. Non dimentico quante volte in preda all'occasione la camera non si è accesa (ironia della sorte per una ACTION CAM)!
Sotto le cascate di Iguazú ho dovuto rimuovere la batteria rischiano infiltrazioni non so quante volte per riaccenderla!
Ci sono cose che impari sulla pelle, sapevo che fosse tutto disattivato (comandi vocali in primis) ma se non disattivate il bluetooth del telefono a volte dopo spenta si accende anche da sola (vi invito a cercare in internet questo issue). Tutt'ora non capisco perché si comportò in quel modo rischiando di mancare uno scatto e comprometterne l'impermiabilità ma lato software è validissimo e sensibilissimo allo stesso modo.
Al di la di questo non voglio scrivere un poema ma la differenza di GoPro sta nei video in assoluto : è incredibile la qualità che esprime e la stabilizzazione che mantiene in tutte le circostanze.
Pur essendo un obiettivo visto e rivisto, la qualità delle foto è paurosa! Tutto merito del software presumo che denoisa a palla equilibrando l'istogramma nei limiti del proprio e caratteristico ProTune! Fantastico anche il software anche se non totalmente al pari di Insta.
Ma GoPro si manifesta sopratutto nell'azienda : prima foto mai da me pubblicata su GoPro Awards e primo premio ricevuto. Sono già 3 gli Awards che ricevo in 4 mesi di cui 2 di inutilizzo (per quarantena) ed in questo GoPro è davvero ammirevole e partecipe!
Ho anche sottoscritto l'abbonamento a Plus ed iniziato la carrellata di accessori che bisogna avere ed ora, a distanza di 8 versioni, mi spiego davvero il perché!
A parte qualche accorgimento prettamente software è davvero unica. Diffidate dalle imitazioni o da concorrenti apparentemente agguerriti (stile DJI ), la qualità ed il BRAND fanno sempre la differenza.
N. B.
Ovviamente questa considerazione vale solo per la HERO. La GoPro Max ad esempio non è ai livelli di altre concorrenti stile One X, One R o Qoocam 8K ma spero si evolvano in fretta sul versante 360

Al di la di questo non voglio scrivere un poema ma la differenza di GoPro sta nei video in assoluto : è incredibile la qualità che esprime e la stabilizzazione che mantiene in tutte le circostanze.
Pur essendo un obiettivo visto e rivisto, la qualità delle foto è paurosa! Tutto merito del software presumo che denoisa a palla equilibrando l'istogramma nei limiti del proprio e caratteristico ProTune! Fantastico anche il software anche se non totalmente al pari di Insta.
Ma GoPro si manifesta sopratutto nell'azienda : prima foto mai da me pubblicata su GoPro Awards e primo premio ricevuto. Sono già 3 gli Awards che ricevo in 4 mesi di cui 2 di inutilizzo (per quarantena) ed in questo GoPro è davvero ammirevole e partecipe!
Ho anche sottoscritto l'abbonamento a Plus ed iniziato la carrellata di accessori che bisogna avere ed ora, a distanza di 8 versioni, mi spiego davvero il perché!
A parte qualche accorgimento prettamente software è davvero unica. Diffidate dalle imitazioni o da concorrenti apparentemente agguerriti (stile DJI ), la qualità ed il BRAND fanno sempre la differenza.
N. B.
Ovviamente questa considerazione vale solo per la HERO. La GoPro Max ad esempio non è ai livelli di altre concorrenti stile One X, One R o Qoocam 8K ma spero si evolvano in fretta sul versante 360
