With HERO7 Black, GoPro is also introducing a radical new form of video called TimeWarp. I may be unique here, but I would love to use the GoPro to shoot regular footage and want to avoid the distortion created with Wide and SuperView FOV modes. Hypersmooth is available on Wide for 2.7K and 4K, but to use the camera in Linear FOV (or non-fish eye), then you need to drop to 1080 50fps. The other thing to remember is the FOV or field of view setting. There is a standard stabilisation available, but that’s no different to what’s in a Hero 5 or 6. Hypersmooth is available in 4K quality at either 25fps or 50fps. That was fine with me, I always shoot 16:9. It’s not available if you shoot in 4:3 aspect ratio.
The way this works is to crop up to 10% of your footage, using the room between the edge of the frame and that 10% margin to digitally reposition the footage frame by frame, so the resulting footage looks, as the name suggests, hyper smooth.Ī few things you should know about the quality settings and Hypersmooth stabilisation. While gimbals have been necessary to date, they really aren’t anymore, once you have a Hero7.Īfter using the Hero7 in a number of environments, its actually kind of magical to just use the camera and know when you watch back the footage, it’ll look like it was shot on a hollywood set with equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Known as HyperSmooth, the in-camera video stabilization avoids the need for another powered accessory in your life. Without a doubt the headline feature of the Hero 7 is the new GoPro, proprietary technology to stabalise your footage. It’s not surprising GoPro didn’t vary from the design of the GoPro Hero 7 dramatically from previous generations, it’s a winning formula, just updates to the features where it matters most. This works great if you’re in a motel room and want to review you’re day’s footage. There’s just 2 doors in the body, one at the bottom to switch out the battery or microSD card and the other that allows USB-C charging or file transfer, or the ability to connect a Micro HDMI port to watch your footage back on the big screen. In terms of the body, it’s a very simple design, just a matt black surround, power button on one side, record button on the top, lens on the front. It’s so universal that there is a way to mount the GoPro on practically any surface, in any orientation, which is part of the reason why GoPro has this market to themselves. This enables you to quickly go between different mounts in seconds, rather than the traditional screw technique that takes minutes.
It’s only with an array of accessories like this (and using it to film car reviews) that you really appreciate the design of the quick release mounting mechanism for GoPros.

This time I purchased a suction cup mount, a Jaws Flex Clamp Mount and a portable tripod. Over the years I’ve used a number of GoPros and it was really only with the Hero 7 that I decided to pull the trigger on entering the accessory world. The body comes in 3 different colours, white, grey and black, but these are also aligned to different product features. High quality footage from a really small package. In terms of the industrial design, the Hero 7 is a continuation of what GoPro are famous for. You just have more confidence to use the GoPro, which means more people will want one and when you have one, you’re likely to take it with you more often. In both of these scenarios, the ability to use it and not fear it falling in the water and being destroyed was incredibly beneficial. This means everyone who buys a Hero 7 can use the camera in more environments, wet or dry.ĭuring my time with the Hero 7 Black, I found myself at the beach, and at the pool where my daughter was taking swimming lessons. This means features like a waterproof body (up to 10m), without the need to buy an accessory, was built right into the Hero 7. In planning this generation, they determined they needed to listen to their customers much more than they had in recent years. In designing the GoPro Hero 7, the company took a long hard look at the products they’d produced over the last few years.
