I have a Hero 7 Silver and a Hero 10 Black I bought last weekend. I used the 10 to make a running video yesterday and I can’t believe how much better the stabilization is. It’s an amazing camera so I’d say that’s my favorite.
I use a GoPro 7 silver in a 3d printed seat post mount. I set it on time lapse to preserve the battery and it has lasted about 9.5 hours for me, enough for my longest ride. The frequency is enough to catch details of cars, although my state no longer requires front mounted licence plates on cars so it's a bit less useful. Even a dummy GoPro with a blinking red light would help keep people in their best behavior.
I have a GoPro 7 Silver, But its microphone is not working. The video quality is par with 10 unless you ara a good editor with knowledge of colour grading.
Don't wear anything on your helmets mount directly in front of your face, I think. If you don't need a fancy brand new goPro maybe get on ebay and buy goPro 7 silver? Mine is 6 years old and it's still working.
What about issues with the cameras crashing? I have a GoPro 7 a friend gave me and I do want to upgrade at some point but my biggest issue is with the crashes causing me to lose footage. I've heard is still an issue on the new cameras plus overheating problems. The 7 doesn't overheat luckily but it's annoying resetting it once or twice a day if I'm filming. And I'm using the recommended SD card.
Does this firmware help the older models? I have a go pro 7 that has a crashing problem. Probably once or twice every few hours of filming, usually after you start or stop a video it will crash. I'm using the suggested SD card.
Ever since they added image stabilization with the H7, they've been amazing. Disappointed they didn't give us a 14 yet. But my 13 is amazing. Unfortunately, we're spoiled now. Watching footage from anything prior to the H7 now excruciating.
Yup. For an action camera it is really unacceptable. You miss the action if the camera freezes all the time. Had these problems with 7,11 and max. Got rid of them. This was my only problem but it was big.
I use the action 4 with the fov boost lens and I love it, but it's wide even without it. The magnetic attaching and detaching is so good and convenient. The interface is fast and intuitive, the stabilization is great and the battery lasts (I bought the base version with 1 battery, with my hero 7 I always had to bring 2 extras with me) My friend has the 12, and the videos are too crisp and colorful for my liking. It has a good stock fov tho.
A GoPro 7 or 8 then. I don't recommend less know action cameras brands like Akaso, not terrible but not great either. Sound quality is really bad and the image stabilization performance is inferior compared to the GoPro or the DJI Action cameras.
I've got a go pro 7 from cex, about 4 years ago it was £200. It is the first to have image stabilisation, and the quality is better than I need. The battery life (as with most go pros) is only 1.5hrs at best, so it's a new battery every stop
i have a Go Pro7, uduslly mount on my chin as i like the shots you get. The battery life is the killer though, 1hr on good settings, 1.5 at lower, so every time i stop i need to change the battery, and that just becomes faf
