The Go Pro Hero 8 builds on previous models success (and there sure has been some success in the GoPro range, as it has proven to be the number one action camera of choice). The Go Pro Hero 8 obviously adds to previuous models, offering a few additional features that make quite a noticeably difference.
The Go Pro Hero 8 offers superb shooting stabilization Hypersmooth 2.0, and can capture across multiple resolutions. Impressive right? Well all of this is for just £30 more than the price of Go Pro Hero 7. On the face of it, the camera looks remarkably similar to the previous model with touch dispay on the back. Additionally it features shortcut buttons that are oh so easy to handle through whatever gloves you may be wearing for your chosen sport.
