Top 5 GoPro Cameras

In recent years, cameras and camcorders can be found in almost every device. In addition to banal smartphones, tablets and laptops, they are in gaming consoles, smart watches and even in refrigerators. This was made possible due to the very small size of the camera module and a significant reduction in price. Nevertheless, professional cameras aimed at performing one task - creating high-quality photos and videos - and do not plan to disappear from the market.

Today we will talk about a specific subclass - Action-cameras. These devices have recently become increasingly popular not only among fans of extreme sports, but also among professional operators and ordinary users. And here to each his own: athletes value devices for security, operators - for compactness, thanks to which the camera can be installed in the most unexpected places and get fascinating shots. Finally, ordinary cyclists and bikers buy action cameras for use as a DVR.

The phrase “action camera” in the overwhelming majority of people is primarily associated with GoPro products. It was the Americans from California who were the first to introduce a camera of this format, which made them leaders for many years.

There are a lot of action cameras on the market, but they are headed by the ancestor GoPro. Models of this brand are better than competitors for some reason:

• water tightness If competitors from Sony, Garmin and Xiaomi offer a waterproof case, then “Go Pro” is adapted for diving by default, without additional devices;
• software support. GoPro has developed cool PC and smartphone apps so that users can quickly and easily process the footage;
• electronic stabilization. The manufacturer has introduced electronic, rather than optical stabilization, into the top models;
• voice control. The competitors have similar functionality, but the voice assistant from “Gow Pro” knows 7 languages, while the models of other brands speak only English;
• famous brand and universal recognition.

Top 5 best GoPro cameras

5 GoPro HERO4 Silver

The fourth generation of GoPro cameras differs little from its predecessors from the 3+ line. You can only mark the appearance of a 1.75-inch touchscreen display, so you can control the camera settings without a smartphone. However, because of this, the manufacturer removed the control panel from the standard equipment, which was important for some users. Otherwise, the camera shoots no better and no worse than the bronze medalist of our rating.

Advantages:

• There is a 1.75 inch touchscreen display
• There is a GPS module and Bluetooth

4 GoPro HERO5 Black

The company abandoned the separation of Silver, Black and "that-like edishn" and presented one, but very good camera. Unlike its predecessors, HERO5 Black can shoot UltraHD video at 30 fps. There is also a slow-mo - at a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, a beginner gives out nearly 240 frames per second. This was made possible by upgrading the processor, while the matrix itself remained almost unchanged, which means the recording quality was not much better. Also worth noting is the emergence of digital stabilization. Yes, it does not work perfectly, and the image cuts by 10%, but here it is at least there. Of course, with the update, many other pleasant and useful chips were added.

Advantages:

• Good quality video recording and high frame rate
• There is a digital stabilization
• 3 microphones, noise reduction
• Supported shooting photopans
• There is a speaker
• 2 inch touchscreen display
• Voice control (does not work with the Russian language)
• IPX8 water protected without protective case

3 GoPro HERO (CHDHB-501-RW)

This is a budget version of the GoPro camera, where the top stuffing is installed, but there is no support for 4K and innovative flagship chips. This action model shoots in Full HD at 60 frames per second, is endowed with voice control, has image stabilization and fast charging. It is not compatible with the Karma drone. In the reviews, users note that the battery lasts for two hours of video recording. In the cold, the battery discharges many times faster. There are three microphones and you can create photos in 4K.

The package is not rich, but it is the best option for beginners and amateurs who are thinking about buying an action camera. Please note that there is no mount for a tripod on the camera body.

2 GoPro Fusion (CHDHZ-103)

The main feature of the camera is shooting and instantly converting video content into a three-dimensional image. Also, the camera perfectly shoots and the usual “flat” picture, can withstand immersion in water up to five meters in depth. This GoPro camera is not for everyone. In the reviews warn that this is a niche product with an inflated price. While this model has no worthy competitors.

Those who need a camera that “seamlessly” sticks together panoramas, transforms 360-degree photos and videos into ordinary ones, automatically hides the monopod stick from frames, runs on battery for a long time and has high-quality software stabilization, this model will be the best solution. The main drawbacks of the model are: high price, unprotected lenses, defective specimens that come across (check carefully before purchasing the Go Pro camera).

1 GoPro HERO6 Black (CHDHX-601)

This is the best camera "Go for Pro" for extreme people and all those who have to record video in motion and in any weather. The camera supports 4K format, with Full HD resolution it writes at a speed of 240 frames per second. In the wind, the sound is recorded without characteristic interference - the device automatically turns on the wind-blown microphone.

This is the most powerful novelty on the market of action cameras, which, thanks to a separate processor, can record video at 240 frames per second. This gives this: the picture becomes as smooth as possible and there are opportunities to create ultra-slow video without any visible loss of quality. And here is the built-in stabilization and increased operating time up to three hours. In the reviews, only the quality of the picture, captured in conditions of insufficient light, is hacked. Video and photos taken in daylight meet the expectations of demanding owners.
