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.

Review: GoPro Hero6 Black
In these heady days of 4K drones, superhero VR games and watch-phones, action cams can seem a bit old hat.
Great potential but shoddy build quality
The GoPro Hero 6 offers typical high quality shots... when it works.I have had numerous issues from the very start:* The compartment flaps do not close firmly or seamlessly and require some wiggling to get them to seal properly.
Nice compact design loaded with features.
Upgraded from the Hero 5 mostly for the digital zoom option. crystal clear video and stills every time. A wide range of accessories make it a great camera for many applications. Threw it in my pocket and captured over 1000 images and a bunch of video on a recent vacation.
Dissapointed
Purchased GoPro Hero 6 as Christmas present for my son. First was returned because of faulty battery cover. The replacement will not charge, this was returned and the third camera is also not charging.
Great quality drone and hero 6 camera is amazing quality ...
"Great quality drone and hero 6 camera is amazing quality for both HD and 4k video. Drone flies well and has got a decent range and lots of good auto features to help fly it. Highly recommend to anyone who has a gopro camera or is looking to get one.
Excellent my partner loves it
I got it for my partner for Christmas he loves it has found anything wrong with it
great for diving
I bought it to record my diving performance so I purchased supersuite and red filter as well. I have to say the video is great!
Best on the market
I require a action camera to film skydiving activities. After extensive research the go pro6 came up the best but the then price of ￡499 was off putting but the day after reduced to ￡399 so it was a no brainier. Image stability is amazing Video quality and sharpness does everything I need and more.
