GoPro Hero 6 Black
According to the market buzz, this is a BIG step up for the Go Pro. How big? Let's find out in this buying guide.
QuikStories With a Happy Ending
Download the free Go Pro and Quik mobile apps and take advantage of QuikStories, where you can send footage to your phone and let the app automatically edit it into the breath-taking video. Much of the buzz around the Hero6 Black is around this feature.
Twice The Performance
Much of Go Pro's "big step up" has to do with 4K60 and 1080p240 video, capable of delivering twice the performance of its predecessors.
A Sharper Image
The Go Pro Hero 6 Black also promises the best image quality ever, thanks to a brand new GP1 chip which has been optimised with this Go Pro model in mind.
Steady As It Goes
Smooth, stable footage really enhances the viewing experience, and the Go Pro Hero 6 Black delivers there as well, with what they call their most advanced video stabilisation yet.
It's Faster As Well
With 5 GHz Wi-Fi, copying video and photos to your phone is a much faster experience: 3 x faster offload speeds to be precise.
Low Light Is Alright
Another improvement in the Hero 6 Black is enhanced image quality for both video and photos in low-light.
Tougher Than Ever
These upgraded and updated features are housed in a tough and strong body. As a Go Pro is often used in and around water, you'll be pleased to know the Hero 6 Black is waterproof up to 10 metres.

GoPro Hero6 Black Review
The Hero6 is an excellent action camera, a true class-leading flagship and a significant refinement of the Hero5. But getting back to the question of whether or not it is worth $500. In an ideal world, we would have seen the Hero6 introduced at $400 and the Hero5 would have dropped to $300.- Excellent electronic image stabilization
- 4K/60 and 1080p/240
- Improved dynamic range and color
- Great mobile app
- Refined
- if familiar
- design
- HEVC video is very demanding

GoPro Hero6 Black review: is more power everything
The GoPro Hero6 Black is undoubtedly the most powerful action camera the company has created yet, but it's also the most expensive and still has a few areas, like compatibility, price and stabilisation, left to improve on.- Higher frame rates
- Still waterproof to 10 metres without a case
- 5GHz Wi-Fi for faster transfers
- Expensive
- HEVC codec not compatible on all devices
- Low light shots still suffer
GoPro Hero 6 Black: The best action camera – but pricey
GoPro has ruled the roost in the action camera for an age, but with improving smartphone cameras and waterproofing, the reasons for buying one are falling by the day. Why spend over £400 on a separate camera when your phone can shoot video that's nearly as good and that you can take out and about in...- 4K video recording at 60fps
- Great image stabilisation
- Same excellent design as Hero 5
- Much more expensive than Hero 5
- Poor image quality in low light
- App needs polish
The Hero 6 Black is an accomplished action camera, and the best on the market in my opinion, but there are a couple of serious issues that prevent it from gaining my wholehearted recommendation. The first is the price. Even though it's £100 cheaper than the original, £399 is still too much.
The touch screen function of this GoPro edition is really handy. Battery life pretty fair, could last half a day recording videos. No accessories apart from the sticky clips that you could stick to a helmet or any flat surface.
GoPro 6
Best GoPro to date. The images are crisp and vibrant. Battery life OK but not great. Lovley menus and lots of options to make the most of the great footage. A great upgrade from the 4 but perhaps not from the 5 as fairly expensive still.
Video is great but audio is terrible
I got the camera in great shape and it works flawlessly. My only gripe is that audio is the worst. Iu2019ve read many things about how about the audio is but until you hear for yourself you you wonu2019t fully understand.
