Think about it: if you are not able to switch between shooting modes quickly, you may miss a perfect moment that no one can give you back. After the past months I can feel how much more important it is to have the right menus and good user experience. And I was somewhat skeptical at the start and had my doubts whether GoPro is superior to most of the good budget models like Firefly 8s, SJcam SJ7, the Yi 4K and so on. If I may start with the basic user experience: If it is just the camera – I loved the easiness of switching between resolutions. And it is a matter of time until more devices adopt this technology as a default. Essentially you get the same video quality at a much smaller video size. ![]() There already are other action cams that support it – like the Rexso Explorer K and MGcool’s Explorer 2. For high-demanding fps the camera automatically switches to HEVC – also known as h.265 and we have talked a lot about it in previous reviews. Interestingly 1080p is also possible at 240fps, and on top of that you can run the stabilization when shooting at 120 – that is almost unbelievable. ![]() There is dual-band wifi, a ridiculously good choice between resolutions – starting from 4K at 60fps and going down to 720p 240fps. If you do a swipe right – that will open the library.Īmong the many settings, I will highlight the quick capture – the only other action-cam that I have reviewed and can do it is the GitUp F1. There is a nice tutorial at the start – modes and settings are at the bottom, advanced settings you get by swiping left, and swiping down gets you to the preferences. There’s almost nothing that you cannot intuitively find and switch – from resolutions, to frames per second. I felt very comfortable switching between modes and choosing the different options. Those of you who closely follow the channel know that I am not a big fan of touch screens, and the one ion the Hero 6 has pretty much revised my opinion. The overall navigation feeling was much better than what I expected. The camera is waterproof without a case, and except the bottom side – sides are rubberized for better grip. The build quality is the best on the market. The battery, for example is the same too. And that is not the only component that they share with the 5 th generation. GoPro are keeping most of the specific lines of the hero 5 body. Thank God I have a cupboard full of others! And accessories sets you can easily buy online at reasonable prices. The Hero 6 model is conveniently placed in a frame and it is a matter of seconds to dismount it from its original location.īefore focusing on the camera – let’s have a quick look at the accessories – I am used to get many from the Chinese competitors and … well – that’s it – USB type-C cable, the frame and two mounts with double sided tape. Quality and performance-wise they are of course way below the GoPro. To be fair, we have seen cameras with even more attractive boxes – and we can point to most of the Eken’s cameras. Unboxing experience is good! The box is beautiful and it is obvious that inside we have a decent performer. ![]() Data sheet Lens High quality all glass elements Angle of View: 160°,120° LCD Display 1.5" LCD Screen Video Resolutions 1080P HD video:1920*1080 30 fps 960P HD Video:1280*960 30 fps 720P HD video:1280*720 30fps WVGA:848*480, 60 fps Video Format H.264 codec.Getting the GoPro Hero 6 in 2018 will give you much better experience compared to the first months of availability of the camera!
