Why Why WHY ?ĩ) The battery cover is 'designed' to come off. The lens unit cannot be removed and replaced if it gets damaged, unlike previous GoPros.Ħ) It's almost impossible to get the battery or chip out when it's mounted on a forehead mount.ħ) The battery sticks in the unit and can only be removed with pliers.Ĩ) The auto-loop-back recording only allows a max of 2 hours, not the whole chip.

Camera does what it is supposed to Ok - but just not for long !Ģ) Forehead mounting obscures the touch screen so you have to keep tightening and un-tightening the screw thing.ģ) Recorded files cannot be edited into a movie because you get 'AAC lock' error and there is NO sensible information ANYWHERE about what this is, how to stop it or whos fault it is.Ĥ) The manual (not even supplied in the box, you have to download it) is useless - you have to go online to find out how to do ANYTHING with this device.ĥ) The menu system is badly laggy you can keep on swiping and tapping the touch screen for ages before it does anything - then it does lots of things at once. The only good thing about Hero8 is that it does take good video - that is all though.ġ) Battery life is pants and it is difficult to swap: Anyone wanting to wear this for running a marathon will have to take a wheelbarrow full of batteries with them. GoPro is great at producing cameras, but their support is garbage, and everything else is terrible.

I'm running an Intel I7-8700k with an RTX 2070 in my rig, the 8700k is a Coffee Lake, which released one year after the Kaby Lake, on GoPro's support website it states that my machine IS compatible, and yet it is NOT. I would highly recommend this to those that plan to use it purely on their phone. Other than that, the camera is great, the stabilisation amazing, and the quality and framerate fantastic.

They should display publicly that they DO NOT support desktops or laptops right now because of their own incompetence and failure to update their software. This is the only reason that my overall rating is a 3.

I'm not sure how a company like GoPro has the audacity to release a new product that isn't supported on computers, it's utterly ridiculous.

However, BUYER BEWARE, if you plan on uploading to your computer through the GoPro Quik app that you are forced to use, you CANNOT open the video files because the one and only video format supported under GoPro (HEVC) is NOT supported on the application, meaning that in order to view the video files you have no choice but to use your phone. The Camera appears to be great, and the quality is lovely, the value for money I think is up there as well.
