I also have a GoPro, though it is the GoPro Hero 7 Silver, rather than 8. It has been very useful in my films, and I agree with all that you have said! One issue I fine, however, is the fisheye effect (when the edges of the camera are bent outward). It is especially noticeable whenever a straight line is near the edge. Fortunately, I can correct it in my video editor, but it requires manual adjustment for each clip, as the strength of the distortion varies based on the camera focus. Do you have this problem with your GoPro? If so, do you correct it? How?

Okay, cool! Yeah, I’m sure it is very useful for filming! Yes, mine does do that when using a wider angle. Most cameras do that if they are on a wider angle. It can be quite annoying at times, but it is only on the wider angles. If I change the zoom, then it usually fixes it.
