Gopro Hero 6 Review
Thursday, 5 July, 2018 - 12:38
Finally, I did it. I found a great price on eBay, I got my GoPro 6 Hero Black for only 345 EURO, which is a great price. I just love this camera. It seems to me there are so many improvements on this camera compared to GoPro 4.
Finally, I bought a new GoPro 6 camera. Here is my experience with this small action camera.
GOPRO 6 HERO PROS:
- solid build compared to GoPro 4, it seems to be better build than GoPro 4 silver. I am talking about the housing, which is rubbery, seems to be more robust and better-designed
- voice commands - you don't have to turn on the camera by pressing the button, you can just say "GOPRO START RECORDING, GOPRO STOP RECORDING
- housing seems to be waterproof, which is great
- better video quality, better quality of the recordings, more saturated colors, the footage is super sharp and clear
- movie stabilization, superb feature, the videos are silky smooth
- better battery, my GoPro 4 lasted like 90 minutes most, but GoPro 6 hero battery lasts and lasts for more than 2 hours
- the sound is greatly improved. When I recorded my motorbike driving, there was no wind noise...I was driving super fast and there was no wind noise. Wind noise was super annoying on GoPro 4 Silver....They must have fixed this on this camera with software to just remove frequencies of wind...
GOPRO 6 HERO CONS
- SD card is now in the battery compartment, which is sometimes hard to remove...but I guess they wanted to make a waterproof action camera
- freezing when trying to play the media files on camera - very annoying, I did not find the fix yet
- you need a big microphone adapter to plug in your microphone, if you want better sound lets say for mounting a GoPro 6 on helmet.....before you could just plug in the microphone plug straight into GoPro 4, now you need a big adapter that costs 50 USD....but, in general, you do not need it at all, only if you do a motorcycle blog and you want to talk constantly during the ride....but even then it is manageable...
