GoPro Hero 7 Black HyperSmooth As A Travel Camera.
Recently the Where Have I Been To (WHIBT) YouTube Channel has reached the 100 subscribers mark. To celebrate a brand new GoPro Hero 7 has been purchased and added to the Gear List.
The last GoPro purchased was the GoPro Hero 5 Black along with Karma Grip Stabilizer Gimbal. Both have been serving WHIBT very well.
The reason for the upgrade is the HyperSmooth feature. GoPro are claiming Gimbal Like silky smooth video. Although the Karma Grip is a quality solid gimbal with a decent battery. It is big and heavy.
Supposedly we will now be able to achieve the same smooth videos with carrying around less gear. How will this work out? Only time will tell.
The Good:
- Batteries: GoPro Hero 7 Black uses the same batteries as the Hero 5 Black.
No need to buy new batteries. - FormFactor: GoPro Hero 7 Black is able to fit into the Karma Grip, and same housing as the Hero 5 and 6. No need to buy more accessories.
The Bad:
- Batteries: A while back in the day of the GoPro Hero 5 GoPro released a shady firmware update. It seems the sole purpose of it was to stop 3rd party batteries from working. These days more care is required when purchasing spare batteries.
Conclusion:
It is still too early to tell. As this page is being written the GoPro Hero 7 Black is being charged up. Getting ready for its first test video. More to come soon.
