Gopro hero 7 white is a great camera if you can find one used. Doesn't have super good stabilization or GPS like the black model does. But I've never had unstable video while dirtbiking, and the battery life is often about 2 hours at 1080p 30fps... Better than the black models..
My GoPro hero 8 Black has a blinking red light, so does my GoPro hero 7 white
They notice, they even ask me about them at the red lights
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
Cheap camera is complete shit terms of camera angle and stabilization. Look for used older model of gopro like the hero 5,6,7,.. and the Dji Osmo series.

7 was a big improvement for sure and the last to work with the gimbal. Big downfall was that it overheated with ease.
