You can stream to other sites like Twitch by setting up a RTMP URL - but Instagram is still off the list. Live Streaming has been upped from 720p to 1080p, but we are still stuck with streaming from the GoPro through your phone natively to the sites YouTube and Facebook. There are presets made to set up your GoPro quickly and easily, depending on what you are filming: Standard (1080, 60, Wide), Activity (2.7K, 60, SuperView) and Cinematic (4K, 30, Linear). The menu system has been improved even further than the 7, making it easier to get shooting without setting a bunch of advanced settings. I say “potential” because if the bit rate doesn’t need to be that high, the GoPro won’t force it to be - it’s a variable bit rate codec that only uses data if it needs to.īeyond the increased bit rate, there are some other great features. You can get into the weeds on the H.264 vs H.265 codecs over at Frame.io’s blog where they have some really great (and nerdy) info.Īnyway, with the bit rate increased - any video from the GoPro Hero 8 Black Edition has the potential to be better than the Hero 7. But GoPro also allows you to use the HEVC (H.265) codec to compress videos, which is a much improved version of the antiquated H.264. With that increase comes better quality video (more data = more information = more details). The biggest update, in my opinion, is the increase in the max bit rate to 100 Mb/s. But there are some major improvements from the Hero 7 to the Hero 8 that will make you think hard about upgrading. If you own the Hero 7 Black Edition you will be familiar with many of the Hero 8 features. Up first, I’ll take a look at the GoPro Hero 8 Black Edition. That at least will take the sting off of the $399.99 or higher price. If you aren’t sure whether you want to buy one or both of the new GoPro cameras, you should take a look at the GoPro TradeUp program where you can send in any camera with an original retail value of $99.99 or more and you will receive $100 off the Hero 8 or $50 off the Hero 7. Late last year, GoPro introduced the GoPro Hero 8 (for review the Black Edition) and the GoPro Max - a.k.a. Every year GoPro outdoes themselves and gives users more reasons why you should either upgrade your old GoPro action camera or invest in the GoPro ecosphere for the first time.
