Like GoPro’s Hypersmooth setting, it helps calm the jittery movement that a vlogger or an adventure cinematographer would produce when recording on their camera.
The front-facing screen allows to make sure that you are in frame while filming, and eliminates the guessing game you play when filming on the GoPro Hero 8.ĭJI has their own version of stabilization technology, which is called Rocksteady. This is the key feature that really sets these two cameras apart, and one of the reasons the Osmo Action is favored more by vloggers. One of the most notable features that the Osmo Action has when compared to the GoPro Hero 8, is the front-facing screen on the outside of the camera. However, even though its position has waivered a bit, the Osmo Action has some clear attributes that cause it to still be a competitor with the Hero 8. The Osmo Action has rivaled GoPro for the top spot ever since its conception, but with the Hero 8 recently being announced the top of the leader board may not be as clear as it was prior to GoPro’s new camera launch. Although GoPro enhanced the Hero 8’s capabilities in both its video and photo capabilities, the fact that there is no front screen is a total let down for those who have been looking forward to this new release.ĭJI really made a name for themselves in the action camera industry when they debuted the Osmo Action earlier this year. This would have opened up GoPro to a new market, making it a competitor in the vlogging community. As a result, this would have been an amazing opportunity for GoPro to capitalize on and change the game by not only adding 2 screens to their action camera, but also to find a way to operate both screens at the same time. In addition, on the Osmo Action it is not possible to use both the front screen and the back screen at the same time which was a major complaint made by some users. With that said, the fact that GoPro ignored the demand people had for the dual screens, is definitely a missed opportunity. The fact that the Osmo Action has the two screens which you can switch back and forth between, proved to be one of its main selling features. With DJI’s Osmo Action being one of GoPro’s direct competitors, it is a shame that GoPro missed this opportunity to add dual facing screens to their new camera. This will streamline your ability to mount your camera onto external devices, which in turn, will remove clunky housing from getting in the way of your mobility, and in turn, making it easier to connect.Īs good as the improvements on the Hero 8 are, there is still one area where GoPro could have done better. This feature combines the HyperSmooth and Timelapse video settings, where it processes videos within the camera itself which, in turn, allows you to adjust speeds and create shareable time-lapse videos without the hassle of endless files and post production processing.Īdditionally, the new Hero 8 has built-in mounting plates, which eliminates the issue of adding external housing to your GoPro when trying to mount it onto helmets or tripods. In addition, GoPro has improved the TimeWarp feature in the Hero 8 which was previously announced in their Hero 7 model, and now called TimeWarp 2.0.
As you can probably guess from the name, this feature on GoPro cameras smooths out any abrupt movement, which will look a lot more appealing to your viewer than it would without the feature present. The Hero 8 has Hypersmooth 2.0 technology which has been remastered and designed to create even more stabilization than in the Hero 7. Additionally, once the Osmo Action was released it was debated between the two cameras which stabilization feature would reign supreme. This proved not to be the case however, with its video capabilities consisting of 4K at 60fps and up to 240 fps at 1080p, causing the new action camera to weigh in similarly to its competitor, DJI’s Osmo Action. There were rumors that GoPro was going to enhance the resolution on their action camera from their previous model making it capable of shooting in 4K at 120 fps. Some of the features that have helped make the Hero 8 rise to success include: resolution capabilities, supported accessories, built-in mounting plates. However with its latest model, the Hero 8 has made its way back to the top of the leaderboard. Many people have said that since the Osmo Action’s release, it has taken the crown from GoPro. With GoPro recently releasing the newest action camera into their lineup, the Hero 8 has managed to be an even tougher competitor with DJI’s Osmo Action.
