Battery life is not long enough and can die down after a couple of shots

I purchased 5 months ago and haven't been disappointed with the purchase. I use it daily as a simple dash cam for my driving commute. The Video & Image quality is very good. The camera is very easy to learn and use. The voice controls work great. If you need to shot extended videos.

After one year on the market, the GoPro Hero 7 Black is still one of the best action cameras that you can find right now. The rugged body is filled-up with top-notch features. While HyperSmooth provides gimbal like video stabilization, TimeWarp allows you to take outstanding super-smooth timelapse...

Waterproof without needing a case;; Great 4K video and image quality;; HyperSmooth does a really good job;; TimeWarp and other cool creative modes;; Huge range of accessories.

Expensive (many cheaper options);; Can get very hot when recording 4K;; No frontal live-view screen;; Sometimes UI become unresponsive.

The stabilization on the HERO7 Black is electronic, but it’s the best in-camera electronic stabilization we have ever seen. The image quality is nice, and the new TimeWarp hyper-lapse shooting mode is a nice addition.

GoPro’s smoothest operator ever, and a brilliant flagship

Excellent image stabilisation; Good all-round image quality; Compact; waterproof and tough

Battery drains quickly with 4K; HEVC needs relatively new hardware

A total steal on a cracking action camera

Don’t mistake the Hero 7 Black for a small update. It may look similar to the Hero 6 and match the resolution and framerate, but when it comes to performance, it’s a huge leap forward.

£380 might seem like a lot to pay for a tiny action cam, but we think it’s worth it for the Hero7 Black. It’s basically the excellent Hero6 Black (a five-star action cam that cost £500 at the time of its release last year) with a bunch of improvements added – the most useful of which being the incredibly effective HyperSmooth image stabilisation. HyperSmooth makes a huge impact on videos, which means we’d even suggest owners of the Hero6 Black give some thought into the upgrade. GoPro are making it easier to create top quality shareable video content across social channels too, so expect to see your instagram stories feed get a bit more action-packed. It’s great to see a company like GoPro continue to innovate in ways that are genuinely valuable to its main customer base, and the Hero7 Black feels like the best camera GoPro has made in years.
