Features
Redesign from "HERO7"
The most significant upgrade in the GoPro HERO8 is its redesigned body.
- Mount integrated into the body: Mounting without a case is possible.
- Redesigned side door: Easy to swap and mount accessories.
These two upgrades in body design may seem minor visually, but they are significant improvements in practical use.
In terms of shooting performance, except for "HyperSmooth 2.0" mentioned later, it's comparable to HERO7. However, just with 'points—body redesign' and 'HyperSmooth 2.0', it's fair to say there's been a major evolution upgrade.
Featuring HyperSmooth 2.0
The "HyperSmooth" introduced in HERO7 Black has been upgraded to 2.0 in HERO8.
While in HERO7, HyperSmooth was only available with high frame rates, in HERO8, it's evolved to be usable at any frame rate.
Additionally, a more powerful "Boost mode" has been added compared to conventional stabilization.
