Travelers and backpackers always face the dilemma of what to bring at the start of each trip. Throughout the duration of their trip, they always want to document every excursion, every activity, every location. DSLR cameras are great at taking photos and videos but not everyone has the space to fit these big cameras. That’s why a lot of travelers rely on their phones and their action cameras. Of course, the most popular action camera today is the GoPro. And with the release of the Hero 7 Black, backpackers and travelers alike have so much to look forward to.
Most GoPros suffer from audio problems. You can remedy this by attaching a microphone to the device, but that would mean exposing the outlet. Some opt to buy attachments, so they can mount the microphone. But with the Hero 7 Black, the audio is simply amazing. Even in high wind conditions, the audio remains crisp.
The Hero 7 Black also has a few new features, as well as major improvements for existing ones. The most notable improvement that people have seen is the stabilization. The built-in stabilization in the chipset gives buttery smooth and almost gimbal-like movement. Even if you mount it on a bike and go off road, your shots will be stabilized and come out great.
A new feature is the hyperlapse mode. Traditionally, doing a hyperlapse is a pain. You’d have to have a tripod, a steady camera, and all these calculations just to make sure the camera is pointing at the right angle. But with the this mode, you can easily do hyperlapse even without prior experience.
