Tengo una GoPro Hero 5 Black usada a buen precio, si te interesa mandame dm. Va con soporte para casco gratis impreso en 3D nuevito
I would get at least a Hero 5 black if you use an external software for stabilization, and at least a 7 black to rely on the base stabilization.
I have bought the 3+, 5 black, 8 black, and 11 black over the years. They’ve done me well, but I won’t be buying another one. DJI has surpassed them everywhere. I understand there is a lot of brand riders here because I get downvoted anytime I bring up DJI being better. I’m going with the Osmo Pocket line in the future.
Lo más importante es el estabilizador de imagen el resto ni importa, yo te recomiendo gopro de la 5 black para arriba, algo de marca como la action 360, no compres cosas china porque vas a tirar plata al pedo, es preferible filmar con el celular
I still use a hero 5 black, same sd card too since 2017 lol. (sad that specs today are essentially the same mostly apart from resolutions)
Yeah, they lack in battery life mostly, even then though I think plenty of people don't like that aspect greatly, especially on road trips. I nowadays use wasabi batteries and they work essentially the same, usually don't blow up after a few years and can give you an extra 10-30 minutes of recording time if you get lucky.
> GoPro was the only one I couldn't even test because they were overheating. Yeah, I bought a GoPro HERO5 Black when they were still the latest thing, and they've been overheating ever since. It's frustrating that they haven't resolved these issues in ten years.
I have a 5 black, I can’t get the firmware to update, even when doing it manually with the SD card. App says there is no update but it’s on firmware 1.xx and 2.70 is the final firmware. Without an update I can’t run protune which is needed to increase low light performance.
I got a good deal on a "Hero 5" (turned out to be a Hero 2018) on eBay. It does have those touch gestures that take some getting used to for small hands, but mostly these are things you set and forget. Set it for her and show her how to tap away from settings if she accidentally brings them up. You could get her a cheap action camera but that's a dead end if she ever wants to do anything more than she's doing now. If she's still into video in a couple of years one of the 5-7/2018 models is considered old and unsupported now … but it's still a useful 2nd camera. If it's something she's still doing later on, you can consider getting her an upgraded camera with more features.
