Recently, my family purchased the GoPro Hero 8. This camera is astonishing! We used it on our cruise onboard the Disney Wish and our trip to the Bahamas last weekend. Does this camera deserve the title ‘Pro’ is the question I want to answer here. What comes to my mind when I think about this camera is how versatile it is. The GoPro is also powerful and customizable.
First, the GoPro is versatile, meaning it can be used in so many scenarios. The GoPro is waterproof and very tough. I’ve used it while parasailing, snorkeling, and on water slides. It can also be attached to accessories to make it even more versatile. For example, I used thisholding stick which tied around my wrist while I did all the aforementioned activities. Something else that makes the GoPro so convenient is the fact that you can easily switch out its batteries, which charge in a separate charging station. This means that you could charge a few batteries and bring them all with you as you do your daily activities, always providing the GoPro with loads of juice. Finally, the GoPro is petite, meaning that you can easily carry it with you everywhere.
Next, the GoPro is powerful! It takes really nice pictures and videos. It can even shoot in HDR and 4K, turning out some very impressive photos and videos. Something else amazing about the GoPro Hero 8 is the screen on the front of the GoPro which allows you to see how long the video has been running, the picture countdown, the battery level, the SD card capacity, or the photo/video quality! This screen is very useful as well as powerful. One final feature that is powerful is the video stabilization. This makes videos SO smooth! You can also turn on voice commands and use your voice to take pics and videos. The GoPro is definitely a powerful device and more than just a camera!
Finally, the GoPro is customizable to an insane level. You can change video and photo settings like quality and angle (linear, wide, superview, etc.). You can also customize where all the buttons on the screen are located and what they do. There are numerous settings and features, allowing you to create the video or photo that you want! You can also choose from some presets to quickly start filming. Finally, if you need to start recording immediately, just hit the top button while the camera is off, and it will start a video! This is very useful if something cool comes up quickly.
YES, the GoPro is undoubtedly a ‘pro’ device! Its versatility, power, and customizable interface make it a powerful and capable device for any circumstance or adventure that you may encounter. See the GoPro Hero 8 on Amazon or any of the other GoPros on the official site.
