GoPro HERO8 Black features a 12MP camera with
frameless mounting and built-in folding mounting fingers, and a frameless
design that now makes swapping battery and SD cards faster compared to the
previous generation. It now features an upgraded HyperSmooth 2.0 video
stabilization that works in all resolutions and frame rates and also features a
new Boost mode that cranks up the stabilization when desired. It now also
supports four digital lenses -Narrow, distortion-free Linear, Wide and SuperView.
The TimeWarp 2.0 automatically adjusts speed based
on motion, scene detection and lighting and one can tap to slow down to
real-time and again to speed back up. The HERO8 Black can capture 4K 60fps
video + 1080p 240fps video with bit rate options of up to 100Mbps, and 8x
slo-mo ultra-high frame rate 1080p240 video. Other features include RAW in all
Photo modes, Night Lapse video, Live Streaming, and more.
HERO8 Black pricing is US$ 399 and available on pre-order at GoPro.com today with shipments beginning
