![]() Having lost a GoPro Hero 5 unexpectedly to water damage with the old two-port design, this is something we’re conscious about. The second reason this is great is it means one less spot where water can get in. Fumbling between the ports is a small annoyance, but it’s still nice nonetheless that everything is contained in one spot with the new design. ![]() This is cool because it means there is less confusion about which door contains the memory card and which one has the charging port. GoPro scrapped the two-port design on the Hero 5/6/7 and has combined everything into one access port. It’s kinda crazy to think it took 8 GoPro versions for this simple feature, but here we are. The mountings fingers always seem to get snagged or caught on something. The folding fingers actually pretty sweet because it’ll pack better when putting it in your pocket or bag like the Hip Pack for GoPro. The mounting fingers which were formerly on the camera cases or frames have now been included in the camera body and fold out of the bottom. All in all, the new camera is 14% lighter than it’s predecessor, but we doubt anyone will really notice the difference. Meanwhile, there is better protection for the rear LCD thanks to a small overhanging lip on the housing. While we’ve never actually broken the glass on any of our GoPro’s, folks who have had that happen will surely sigh at the new design. However, GoPro did update the glass to corning gorilla glass which they claim is twice as durable. The enclosure for the camera glass has been redesigned and the glass can no longer be replaced should you break it. The look is maybe a little more playful while still keeping with what we’ve become accustomed to. The new GoPro Hero 8 shape is slightly bigger and more rounded than the previous generations (GoPro Hero’s 5/6/7). Hero 8 Black hardware updates Sleek and rounded form factor We’ll highlight all the physical hardware changes before going over all the updated shooting modes and features. On the outside, the camera looks pretty similar to the former Hero 5/6/7, although there are some subtle changes. But first, let’s go over everything that is new about the Hero 8 Black. The big question is if it’s worth upgrading? We’ll get into that. Nonetheless, it’s got some new feature tech-savvy adventurers and more advanced GoPro users will appreciate. The Hero 8 Black can be seen as an improved version of its predecessor instead of an all-new camera. The Hero 7 Black is truly amazing for casual users and even great for professionals. The new camera has some nice improvements over the Hero 7 Black that we've grown to love for many reasons. Generally, the Black editions offered significant improvements over the Silver/White so it’s nice to see GoPro simplify their offering and develop only one high-quality new camera. ![]() Previously, GoPro would launch many different iterations (Black, Silver, White) which often left people wondering which camera to get and if the more expensive ones were worth it. Finally, GoPro has simplified its lineup and launched only one new camera, the Hero 8 Black. ![]()
