The GoPro 7 Hero Black Review – Product Overview

What can I say but “oh my God”, GoPro you keep blowing my mind with your hot products.

I own the GoPro 7 Hero Black Edition and it is the best video camera I have ever owned.

Video has always been a pain, downloading, editing, batteries and memory issues galore.

Splash Out and Get the Black

The Black Edition is the all-in-one package and can go anywhere no matter the weather or climate.

This little black camera fits in your pocket and is so light and inconspicuous, half the time no one even knows that you are filming.

The video that is produced on the GoPro is so smooth, vivid colours, and professional with such a tiny price tag.

Why would you want to spend thousands on a massive, heavy and expensive camera when you can basically do it all with the Hero 7 Black?

Find out why it is so good below and decide which option you will take to solve all your video recording problems.

The Good & the Bad of the Go Pro 7 Hero

The Good:

1. Hyper Smooth Video

The GoPro 7 Black has amazing stabilization compared with the older models and films. It is as if you are using a gimbal. But the catch is you are not filming with a gimbal.

2. Super Robust

This is what you really want in an action camera because you will be using it for sports and in unusual circumstances. Whether on land or water you can take the GoPro anywhere. Crash it, smash it or drop it, doesn’t matter.

3. Waterproof to 33ft (10 meters)

4. Voice Control

Too busy to use your hands and grab footage? Then just use your voice to control your Hero 7. Say one of the 16 voice commands to take a photo or some epic video footage. Just speak and action!

Also includes face, smile and scene detection.

5. Super Photo

Take regular photos and your Go Pro will transform them into sensational shots with the right colours and tones to impress your fans.

The camera takes photos in 12MP and uses local tone mapping and noise reduction for that epic photo in any kind of light situation.

6. Live Stream 

You can live stream with the Hero 7 straight to YouTube and Facebook Live. Now that’s handy!

7. Time-lapse and Timewarp

This fun video feature enables you to capture high-speed footage on the run without needing software. Also includes a night lapse function for filming at night.

8. Touch Screen Functionality

This is now the standard with Go Pros and makes it super easy to navigate through your settings to get the perfect shot.

9. Film in high 4K60-30-24p

Other modes include 2.7K120-60-30-24p or 1080p240-120-60-30-24. Film in a quality that complements your end result.

10. 8 X Slow-Mo Function

This gives you the ability to capture highly technical sports and abilities in slow motion.

11. Super Light and Small in Size

The Hero 7 can fit in anywhere! It fits in your pocket, small bag and luggage without a hassle and doesn’t add weight.

12. WiFi and Bluetooth Compatibility

Simple and easy GPS enabled and connects to the Go Pro App.

13. Inbuilt 3.5mm Audio Microphone

Input so you can capture awesome audio without needing an external microphone. With the option of adding a Mic Adapter.

13. Accessories & GoPro App

Go Pro has an excellent FREE App they offer for making cool movies on the fly. It includes music, effects and templates to show off to your friends.

The range of accessories that you can buy for the Go Pro is amazing, sticks, mounts, attachments that suit all kinds of sports and activities. Think of an angle to take a shot, Go Pro will have an accessory to suit.

14. The Price!

The Go Pro Hero 7 Black edition is so affordable and with all these amazing features I can’t believe it only costs $329.99 USD! With the kind of features, it includes it should really cost about $1000 USD.

Did you know at the moment the Hero 7 comes with a FREE 32MB SDcard!

The Bad:

Like with all new technology there is always a few downsides but with the Go Pro Hero 7 Black, it is a small list.

1. Battery Issue

The battery at times plays up (once every now and then) and won’t turn on, but all it needs every now and then is to open the cover and push the battery in.

Also, it would be good if the battery lasted a little longer.

2. SD Card Error

SD card can have an error on occasion, especially if you are just copying data off it all the time and not reformatting. (Has happened twice since I have had it)

3. Slow to Switch On

This may be just me being picky, but it would be great if the camera would turn on quicker. At times when something suddenly happens, it can take a few seconds for the camera to turn on.

Who is The GoPro 7 Hero For?

A Go Pro 7 action camera is for active men and women who want to share their crafts. But is also an amazing all-round camera for anybody wanting a do it all.

This model from Go Pro also suits up and coming vloggers due to it’s filming quality and sound production value.

I recommend everybody to grab a GoPro because they are so affordable and you can do anything you want with them. Film your life and capture endless memories, make a short movie, start a YouTube channel or capture your sports action.

Go Pro Hero 7

The uses are endless with this technology.

I would avoid buying a Go Pro 7 if you don’t like editing your videos or if you aren’t into anything interesting. You still need an interest in video to get the full benefit out of these gadgets.

Don’t expect the camera to do all the work for you, you still need to manually charge, download and look after your camera.

My Final Opinion of the GoPro 7 Hero Black

If you have ever owned one of the old GoPro’s such as the Hero 2 or simular you will love this latest model.

The old models used to be in a casing and would have endless problems with fogging lenses when surfing or snowboarding.

This problem is a thing of the past with the Hero 7 Black edition. No more cases, no more foggy lenses.

In my opinion, they have finally built the best camera on the market for the real everyday user. You now don’t have to be a pro to make amazing videos.

Heck! With this camera, you can make your dancing daughter look like a star with all the features and techy apps.

Buying one of these cameras will change the way you feel about video and it takes all the hard work that used to be involved. I know it used to be a hassle to make a video but not any more.

All I know is if you love photography, vlogging, action sports and simplicity you need to have the GoPro Hero 7 Black in your kit.

Be the envy of all your friends and family, create magic moments and share them with the world.

I know you want to that’s why you need to grab a Hero 7 Today!
