SonyShooter 0 Posted December 1, 2019 Is it worth the upgrade from the Hero 7? Any thoughts on the Hero 8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milkman 1 Posted December 1, 2019 I would say no for underwater shooting, different housing so if you have any filters or lenses with your 7 they won't fit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FX Productions 1 Posted June 24, 2020 No improvement for underwater filming except the higher bit rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pistola55 10 Posted July 21, 2020 I do believe the image stabilization on the GoPro8 has been improved and so has the automatic white balance. Is it enough to warrant buying a new camera - probably not. And yes you will need a new housing but the price is pretty reasonable about $50. Here is an example of the GoPro 8 that I shot here in San Diego California. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thani 86 Posted July 21, 2020 It is really nice, thanks for sharing. few years back - before the GoPro era, it would have costed a fortune to produce such quality steady footage. Now with negligible investment, one can produce quality imaging with an amazingly compact little rig Thank you GoPro for making underwater imaging accessible the masses.

combatalex 6 Posted July 17, 2021 This type of set for GoPro Hero 9/8 also can help to make perfect quality imaging Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
