GoPro HERO7 Black: A Sharp Affair

GoPro HERO7 Black: A Sharp Affair

You are a friend of outdoor sports and want to capture your adventures for you, friends or family? Wonderful! The new GoPro generation is the hit, because no matter how fast you are on the road, the HERO7 Black records every move without wobbling - with guaranteed sensational even images and videos.

A dream 
Imagine that you have reached the summit after strenuous climb through partly up to waist-deep snow. In front of you is the vastness of the mountain landscape. Fir trees full of white powder coating, the sun casts its rays into the slope, over there traces of chamois and inside your heart so full of the beautiful infinite silence.

If you did not have a camera that would forever banish this white mountain light panorama, oh no, the moment would have been lost forever and would only have happened in your head. And what about the happy streams that run through your muscles, with every swing that you immediately pull down through the icing sugar?

The powder is spraying around you, your skis are searching for the ideal line, the thighs, when you have found the rhythm and jump from left to right, yowl up the mountain. How to describe in words what is just going through your head? But so one click, and the cam holds everything. Days later, you can recreate the brief moment again and again or immediately and in real time show friends and family in the Instastory.

Look back to the front 
Action photography is, of course, more a part of the modern era: the moving man turns the snowboard through untouched deep snow slopes, heats the mountain bike through the (white) forests or surfs with the kite on the oceans, which he then explores under water. Unique experiences, made possible by sporting enthusiasm. Coupled with ever more sophisticated technical achievements, the action cam becomes a popular outdoor tool. One well known manufacturer is the American GoPro.

Brilliant: Integrated image stabilization like you have not seen before
Thanks to HyperSmooth, you can ski down the slope, use the scooter on a Thailand vacation, ice skate over icy lakes or downhill on a mountain bike - everything is liquidly recorded without blurring and dropouts. Technically a thing of impossibility to date.

It would have needed a stabilizing gimbal, but the HERO7 Black can do without such mechanical support. This makes any sports action video fluid to watch like a movie cast - it works even underwater, any abrupt movement, whether hammerhead or dolphin, tropical fish swarm or diving colleague is recorded for posterity.

 Another feature contributes to enjoyable viewing - the improved sound quality and suppression of unwanted noise (noise at high wind speeds, crackling, crackling on hard slopes etc).

 Practical handling 

Very convincing also, how everyday use the cam occurs. It often happens that you have neither the left nor the right hand free, because both are busy practicing the sport. That's why voice control with 15 different voice commands is so helpful. A short command like "GoPro, take a photo" and the picture is already in the box.

Further assistance: The redesigned sharp 2-inch touchscreen is very reminiscent of the wiping functions on smartphones. Keep in mind that if you swipe horizontally (ie from left to right or vice versa), you will switch from photo to video or time-lapse function, while swiping vertically (from top to bottom) from settings to the gallery.


Very social 
In addition, the GPS module is fine in the housing. As a result, location coordinates, such as live streaming on social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube or Instagram, automatically appear in the stream. Those who also use the free GoPro app will benefit from two more
Stickern: Moving images are added to interesting details such as the currently driven speed and the total worn route. Tip: If the Wi-Fi is on strike, you can use the automatic sync feature with your smartphone.

Conclusion: best reviews 
All in all, the GoPro Hero7 achieves optimum credentials among the experts. The magazine "Chip", for example, is impressed by the "outstanding image quality with impressive image stabilization and intelligent post-processing".
