Here's everything you need to know about the new GoPro Hero 7 Black, from the new HyperSmooth features to TimeWarp. How the photo timer works as well as the portrait mode. As well as whether or not the GoPro Hero 7 Black is worth it over the Hero 6 Black. I've got plenty of test footage and samples to show after using it constantly.

Hey folks - thanks for watching! Here's the sound video: czcams.com/video/bP3kBhte5ZE/video.html - Also, check out the upper corner for my livestreaming video!
DC Rainmaker Looking froward to it!
DC Rainmaker Also. Hoping you cover it in the video, but would love to know if you still need the “brick” for external mics.
DC Rainmaker where was this filmed? I want to go there with a GoPro7
Yes, still need annoying brick for external mics.
Roughly near Lake Tahoe, a nearby lake called Donner Lake and up on the mountains near there.
This is how you do a review! Intro was short and everything was straight to the point and in depth! Thank you for this!

You forgot the timestamp where it was excited about his rubbing.
God bless u
Man this comment should get 1k likes
Thank you! I came to the comments just to see if someone did this. He should pin your post if he hasn't already.
omg i was literally just hoping someone made this because I'm in a rush to get one so i can capture the hurricane here in Florida lol.
You're really good at what you're doing, great video!!! Should pay you for this lol made me want to get one
Teeqo the man
Teeqoooooo
Ayyyyy teeqo
Omg same
Teeqooo respect
PERFECT REVIEW. You give the technical details and show the comparisons. Love it.
Great info mate, no yapping on, just into it, top stuff. Thanks man
I like how low the batteries are in all of these clips. Very accurate representation of real life GoPro experience
So true, all these upgrades but nothing on improving battery life or larger battery. Improved battery life was the one thing I was hoping for, and expecting, the cell phone companies do it, why not GoPro ??
I get three ski runs in on a hero 6 before flat. most options off. sigh.
I get two 50 minute scuba dives off one battery charge. Not sure where the discrepancy is between your and my experiences...
Turn off EVERYTHING that you don't need like voice control, turn the screen brightness down to 50% or less. I can get a full day of mountain biking on two batteries. There are many things you can do to increase battery life. I do agree with you tho, I wish they'd increase battery life in general.
I still only use the hero 4 black because it's the only one with a seamless extended battery and it connects to my helmet's Bluetooth
After using GoPro Hero 6 for quite some time, I purchased Hero 7 almost five years ago (October 2018) and being then preoccupied with my Nikon 750D did not spend much time in delving into the full range of features of Hero 7. Then my DJI Mavic 2 Pro came along, and again Hero 7 was somewhat pushed aside. I am currently sort of "rediscovering" this small gem of an action camera and your very well structured and narrated video is a great help in getting to know my (old by now) Hero 7 much better. My original GoPro suction stand is showing some wear and tear de-coloration and a bit of surface corrosion in its metal parts, though I have *never* used it in, on or near sea water. But no worries, it is still fully usable and its plastics remain in tip top condition.
Thank you (way too belatedly) so much for this upload. You have helped me a lot and made my video footage significantly more enjoyable both while shooting and viewing, especially in this mountainous area of southern Europe that I live in. Two thumbs up for your upload that remains very useful literally "in the long run". Again, thanks a million!
Awesome vid. No messing just straight to the point. Looking forward to using mine around some European cities next week starting with Venice. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Dang yo! Best GoPro 7 Review on CZcams -- Huge thanks!!
Awesome content
Yup, that WAS your best video yet! Next level work!
DesFit @dcRainMaker collab? 🤑😍 I would pay for that 🤣
Your graphic content looked so familiar. Then I seen your website in the video and got so hyped. I used to read your articles all the time several years back when I cycled nonstop to college and trained. Great content and glad to see you’re still providing quality info. Definitely subscribed
I really liked that you showed the performance differences between the GoPro Hero 6 and GoPro Hero 7. That capped it for me. I'll get a Hero 7.
You mentioned “It was excited about my rubbing there” in 7:58, I think that’s the BEST feature so far
Just got mine yesterday. This video has been very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for uploading these videos. I just got a gopro hero black 7 and I am a newbie to this. You have made my life so much more simpler.
Of all the time I have spent on CZcams.. Honestly This is by far the best review .. Bang on target no bullshit.. I have been glued to your review till the end.. Well Done!! and Thanks a lot !! Liked and subscribed for all future content..
Loved it! Concise and clear, no filler. Thanks for it =)

Well said!You should all buy GoPro Hero 7,no single cent will be wasted if you’ll buy this,THE BEST!!!I bought this for my son’s birthday Oct.2018 and saw the video and photos he took,was so great and alive!!!
Only watched 4 minutes or so and i´m already writing how good of a review this is! Best review ever of anything i´ve ever saw. Congrats dude
The World Needs Your Reviews!! Great Work!!!!
Hey, I have a question for anyone willing to help! I am trying to use this to steam live to youtube as I want to stream some of the process of me making my art. Can anyone explain the steps to doing this? I have an apple phone and MacBook. I would be very grateful!
I think u figured out
i just got one 2 weeks ago & checking out videos about it.
Good video
You really squeeze a lot of info into your reviews! Thanks!!!
Good stuff, thanks for the in depth video! It's good to know about the updated microphone and the phone pairing!
Hi Phil
Hey Phill 😀
This is a very nice comprehensive presentation and I appreciate all the work you did to evaluate the Hero 7. You Sold me on it, the vertical orientation was interesting and I've never used that in production but it's nice to have that option. SuperPhotoMode... innnteressting. Audio improvements? Yes please! Can you do a CZcams LIVE session with it? Oh, only at 720p, got it.
GoPro should pay this guy..
That is the best review of the 7 that I have seen on CZcams. Most others just stated that it was smoother and didn't give any justification to upgrade from a 6. Your does. Thanks
I just bought one a week ago and its pretty amazing im enjoying every moment with my go pro hero 7
is it easy to put the video on a laptop and share it
@@stumpguy7373 yeah!!
High quality review, nicely done!
yep
This is the millionth GoPro Video I've been on, I definitely am considering the GoPro Hero 7 Black
Super excited for 1440 as the default especially at 60fps. Extra field of view at the top and bottom. Still crops perfectly into a 16x9 1080p comp.
Dang man, huge kudos to getting your hands on an early unit ;)
"...for the 6 people still flying the Karma Drone..." L O L ! ! !
Is the Karma drone that bad?
John A no it’s actually pretty rad.
Downtown Droning Elevated POV oh i thought it was quite good. What drones are people flying then?
nicemomo093 I think you misread my comment ,I said it’s a rad bird, that means I like it.
I love my Karma. I even bought a second one. I have over 200 hours in the air and never had a problem.
Receieved a gopro 7 as a gift. Really helpful video since I had absolutely no idea how to use one!
Finally got mine..! Stuck it right in my X-MAXX and turned the GPS on..! Got a whole gauge cluster on the dashboard.. Looks and works perfectly..! Thanks for this video, it's what pushed me to my final decision..!
Excellent review! Thanks for being honest (like you always are) and not just another marketing video. Thank you!
I can see like GoPro actually changing my life!!
I’ll let you know that I purchased a Hero 7 after watching your review. I absolutely love it. Takes great video and photos above and under water (with dive sleeve). Thanks!
Very straightforward and informative, thank you so much sir!!!
We just ruined a day of footage on the 6 with 4k/60 and didn't realize it didn't have stabilization omg. The 7 looks great tbh.
I’m hoping someday they will add a Bluetooth mic... and interchangeable lenses would be awesome
I’d second the BT mics.
DC Rainmaker And lenses
You can already change the lenses. Go to PeauProductions website and get the 19mm and 47mm (35mm equivalent) m12 lenses. 4K with no distortion for years now, and the 47mm (8.25mm) is about a 45mm in 4K 4:3 mode with is actually 12 megapixel video (4000x3000 confirmed with MediaInfo) and uses the entire sensor (44% more pixels than UHD 4K), it looks great on the Karma drone. Search "Karma 3X zoom" on CZcams to get an example. That setup is actually the cheapest option to get higher focal lengths close to 50mm in 4K in a drone, the next option would be the Mavic 2 Zoom, then the Mavic 2 Pro with its 4K "HQ" mode which is a 1.4x zoom (39.2mm equivalent) 1:1 sensor readout, next up would be the Inspire 1 with Zenmuse Z3 zoom camera which I used to have and at the time it was the cheapest option for some sort of optical zoom to 50mm at 4K. The Karma drone with PeauPro lenses made the 50mm look in 4K on a drone (by cropping in about 6% or so in post) much more affordable. Only a drone noob who isn't cinematography minded would think the Karma drone is useless and wouldn't know about the value the PeauPro lenses add to it. I own the Karma drone, the Inspire 2, the Mavic 2s, and Parrot ANAFI, so I'm not a fanboy of any particular drone company, I see the value in each drone. Karma shoots 12 megapixel video at 30fps, no other drone can do that in the sub $5,000 price range. It also has smoother and less restrictive orbits, and paired with the PeauPro lenses and ND filters from PeauPro, it is actually suitable for more serious shoots.
The 4:3 mode in 4K (since Hero 6) like I said uses the ENTIRE sensor at 30fps. Though that recording mode doesn't offer EIS (which would be impossible unless there was a built in physical sensor shift), anyone who does actual post processing realizes how awesome that 4K 4:3 mode is especially when using a gimbal and only caring about 30fps. You can simply crop in to your preferred aspect ratio but then you have a lot more of the frame available for animating your crops.
czcams.com/video/CEKsKWzMbfI/video.html
In that video, for all non aerial shots, I used 4 Hero 6 Blacks. 2 are stock lenses. And the other two I simply screwed in and focused the PeauPro 19mm and 47mm equivalent.
There are mirrorless camera's with those options
why not just use the camera from the DJI inspire? that's a micro 4/3 and made pretty small and light
Note only a very comprehensive review but also one of the best "how to..videos" for the GoPro 7. Many thanks!
Thanks for making this bc I can’t find I good vid that lets me know more about GoPros what I’m saying is this really helped me a lot so thanks
Great review ! Thanks for the fantastic job !
Me: Making an informed purchase decision.
Everyone Else: "It was excited about his rubbing."
Great review telling me exactly what I needed to know.
Great review, honest fair & funny. Thanks for the information you provided in your video. Just upgraded from hero 4 silver . I can’t wait to see difference.
This was very thorough- nice video!
"it was excited about my rubbing" 😂
This hypersmooth is so sick!
I literally bought a WiFi Remote to overcome the lack of a photo timer.
THANK YOU FOR FINALLY PUTTING THIS FEATURE IN.
You still need the shit box to use an external mic and charge simultaneously. Bring back the mic jack GoPro!!
CycleCruza Agreed - It’s a real shame they didn’t innovate around the external audio option. I’d happily pay for a better motovlog setup which doesn’t require me to record external audio. Give us a Bluetooth mic GoPro!
"It was excited about my rubbing" 😅 Great review. Going to pick one up today
Great content man thanks for taking the time to make this.
Outstanding. Picking one of these up next Monday for Motocross
Great video
Nice video! Love the t-shirt aswell
Thank you for this review. It did what I needed, which was provide enough info for me to make a decision. Ive never had a go pro, so here I am. I was considering the 8 Black because after all, the latest model is always best, right? But your revelation of the lens cover not being replaceable on the 8 took that model right off the table. Looks like the 7 Black is the way to go.
Can one change hero 7 lens?
Just got one for Christmas!!! I am soooo excited to use it! 8)
7.55 it was excited about my Rubbing!! haa haa
xD
HAHAA this was funny! subtle but funny
@@abARTfilms b nice nu buy g%by guys/ guys no
😆
As a motovlogger I am still waiting for Microphone input without using a brick adapter
yup,im on my second one now,first one died on me,and they're not cheap in Canada
Wouldn't mind the adapter as much as the architecture: If it just clipped to the body rather than being this gigantic hanging dongle.
This channel is so helpful. Thanks man
Great video, sir! I just bought a 7 to upgrade from the 5. Thanks - subbed!!
Great vid !! Honest review , and ill be getting the 7
The past few Go Pro releases haven't really motivated me to update form my 4... but I gotta say this one has me really considering it!
Same thing man. The 5 and 6 just seemed to boring and bland to update my hero 4. I thought gopro was turning into apple by releasing the same junk constantly but this one has really hit me. Definitely going to pick it up.
I never had ANY luck with my 4... I have a lemon that freezes up after 10 seconds of shooting 1080. Just saw that GoPro will give me $100 for it toward the 7 BLACK (pre-1/9/19 they would apply it to a Hero 7 silver... pass on that, thank you)... ordered the 7 black & have this p.o.s. 4 ready to send Mr. Woodman. Even remembered to take the micro sd out. By the way, the card was NOT the problem. 'Early adopter burn' was the culprit... Now a gimbal for my Sony A6000 and I'll be rockin'!!! Living 1/4 mile from Newark Liberty airport means my drone will have to be a dozen helium balloons :-).
Amazing video with useful content!!
Just got one and this helped a lot! Thanks so much!
Thank you for video. It's the best review so far.
"He was excited about my rubbing." LMAO
Thanks mate, good information and straight forward!
Very nice video, Well put together, with lots of good additional examples to add to important points to consider.
do you know if you can run audio from a mixer into the mic input to
record live music but the audio input source is from a mixing board?
Don't know if it has input
There were actually a lot of new things not covered in Casey Neistat's video that just came out on this. Looks like the GoPro 7 is on a new level!
Lake Tahoe! As soon as I saw I80W I knew it was home. Nice Vid 🤙
Indeed!
Good review! Saw a number of other (even longer) reviews before but still learned a couple of new things from you! Thanks!!
Thanks, appreciate it!
Great review bro. Even greater news for those 6 Karma drone users. LOL!!!
No way are there six.
goofyfoot2001 , it was a joke. But still, it’s not as good as a DJI quadcopter. I went with a Mavic Air for size and features that fit my needs.
"Beep!"
"It was excited about my rubbing." 😂😂
Great informative video, thank you! Gonna pick one up as a bday present for myself!! 😄
The cycling thing looks fun, always wanted to get into that now so more than ever and the people throwing water cups at you seems fun too. The shots and video are so clear and smooth. Great review.
Great job. Tons of information, concise, presented well.
Thanks!!!
It's good that they've improved the microphones, obviously the hypersmooth won't replace a gimbal just yet. As far as placement for the microphones, will they still pick up the gimbal motors?
"it was excited about my rubbing..." lol... i rub all my gadgets and never get that kind of feedback.
Great job. Just got mine this week, hoping to have lots of fun with it!
yeww! I love my 7, hope you've been getting some great shots
Nice explaining in depth short but cover it all hehe... GreatBro.
Subscribed because your shirt
This is actually a pretty good review video
Your no nonsense honest approach won over.
Nice video! Thanks, it was really useful.
Lmao, at those 6 people!
hahaha hey poor souls! :-D but hey at least they still got considert...most companies wouldnt even care
Good information. I hate when my camera prefers focusing on things other than me. Looks like yours prefers the tree behind you unfortunately...well we've all been there, glad you uploaded this anyway.
Love it when jealous CZcamsr wannabes come round to slag off more successful & effective CZcamsrs. (His focus is fine bruh)

@@plutonicsalad wtf
@@plutonicsalad his focus? This commenter is talking about the camera... He did not "slag off" once... What on earth are you smoking?
Great video! I recognize old highway 40 and Donner Lake in your video. My GoPro 7 will definitely be on the trail up there!
Watched a bunch of your GoPro videos Man, good shit! I subbed
Thanks, appreciate it!
Is it the same size as the hero 6 and hero 5? And does it fit with he hero 5/6 underwater housing? And does it work with the karma drone? Great video
Same exact housing. Fully compatible with Karma Drone and Karma grip.
Good to know thanks!
HAHAHAHA! Burn! "To the six people still flying the GoPro Karma Drone..." To funny dude!
What is a karma drone?
It's a drone from gopro.
Sigh
Had battery issues with mine. GoPro support had us do a vid test. 1080 30 fps time to dead battery test. 84 minutes until camera shut down. Support determined a new camera was solution. Got new one 1 week after they received my defective Hero 7. So far new camera performs well. Support actually surprised me with there quick fix
2:08 that was the most badass thing ive seen all week
I do a lot of mountain biking Enduro and downhill. I have the hero 3 currently and the footage is always trash so I always end up just leaving it at home. I saw the trade up thing on the go pro website, do you think it's worth it to send my hero 3 silver in to get $100 off the 7 black???
If you can't put it on Craigslist for more yeah hero 7 is a big step up from 3
As always, DCR does the best review. GoPro is really good at marketing a old piece of hardware with new software features and call it a new GoPro 7. They should just retro-release these features to older GoPros. They must think all consumers are dummmiessss
Apparently the Hero7 has a RAM upgrade compared to the Hero6. But then again the Hero8 will probabbly get even more RAM. :-)
Good job. Straight on point. Fast and simple!
Subscribed. One of the best reviews I have seen. Thanks!
