GoPro HERO7 White – E-Commerce Packaging – Waterproof Digital Action Camera with Touch Screen 1080p Video 10MP Photos Stabilization

For having this only a few weeks now, I’m 100% satisfied with it overall. However, I found out after having it and checking into the whole “use as a webcam” feature, it can ONLY be done with an Apple computer, via BETA software, and isn’t possible without a capture card setup over USB C to DisplayPort… Would have been good to read that in here instead of GoPro’s site… But I digress.

It’s pretty fantastic. I’ve used it as a dashcam (primary reason I purchased), mounted as a body cam on my vest, and both uses it takes absolutely phenomenal videos with. The stabilization while driving is superb, very much some of the best video I’ve taken in the car with any camera, even when pushing the limits of driving quite a lot, allowing for crystal clear videos. There’s some oddness with the sound pickup, at times, but I think that’s something to do with the included surround case being shifted around just enough to obstruct the microphone ports. When it isn’t having that issue, the sound is as superb and clean as the video is.

I’ve gotten it splashed with water, gotten dirt on it, and other things I may be hesitant to do with other cameras or devices. It cleans up easily and quickly with either a few drops of water and soft cloth, paper towel or napkin, and cleans up fastest with electronic cleaning wipes (aka, 50/50 split of 50% rubbing alcohol and water, works perfect especially).

The downside is that the quality settings, resolution settings, are very minimalist. It can not dive below 1080p in any mode. The result is all video files are absolutely MASSIVE, even at 30fps, but especially at 60fps. And, it will split the video file every 17 minutes, making the max file sizes the most compatible at 3.8GB, just shy of the 4GB max to allow for use on almost all computer file systems without any issues… Which is good, but for my PC, wasn’t necessary, and there’s no way to change it from doing so.

The battery life isn’t terrible, it can take about an hour and a half solid of 1440p/60fps video before it’s close to flat.

There are some points where I have various software glitches, both on the iPad app and on the camera itself, but nothing so major that I’ll tick a star for it. 9/10 times I have zero issues with it and the one off is easy to resolve, so, I’ll let that go.

I’ll most certainly invest in a higher tier model for my next one, no doubt, as they do actually get better up the product range in pretty substantial ways, but this was an extremely solid entry point for an action camera and it’s going to see a whole heck of a lot of use.

Great camera for what it is intended for. Would be nice if it had power on record for use a a car camera

What does that mean? It means that the GoPro hero 7 comes in 3 versions, and the colour isnt all that differentiates them! and by not new I mean, this is possibly a refurbished, or repackaged product. More on that later.

At a glance they may seem similar, 4k video, image stabilisation. But the fine print is where things get ugly. The Silver can only do that 4K at 30fps, not 60 like the black. Smooth gimbal like stabilisation, only on the Black. The Silver just does more standard 2 axis.

So be really sure you are getting what you want here. The GoPro hero 7 is often the camera of choice for its reliability and features for the price, but most of the time its the BLACK that people are talking about.

and why do I say it might not be new. because when I unboxed mine there were clear signs of it being handled. Marks on the case, oily fingerprints inside the packaging and a complete lack of any packaging like bags etc. My guess is that it is factory refurbished at best.

Lastly… this order was a SAGA! originally ordered in April, shipping didnt happen for weeks then it mysteriously went missing from the package before delivery. Lots of phone calls and chats later I had to pay $200 MORE to get another one shipped as the price had changed. Then that took over 2 weeks to get shipped and arrive.

Es un kit totalmente original con su base para montar la cámara y sus tres pilas. El protector de silicon queda perfecto pero debo decir que asi como se ve en la imagen, no tiene abierto donde va la pantalla frontal.
Fuoer cámara a super precio

I bought this to record skiing and mountain biking. It does a great job, when skiing you need to take all steps to preserve battery life and take a couple extra along. The colder temperatures sap the battery life, swap the batteries and put them in a pocket will warm them up and I’ve seen as much as 50% of battery life return. One note; the clear plastic protective care that came with this kit does not work with the hero 7 black, the camera is about 1/4″ too thick front to back for the cover to close. The hero 7 is a bit thinner, I’m not sure if they put the wrong case in my order or what, that might have helped protect it from the cold…. I knocked the rating for that reason.

A great tool for creating quick video
