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.

Love REI but Go Pro customer service is horrible.
Contacted go pro after the back screen on our go pro 6, bought two weeks ago and never used, wouldn't turn on. Followed the website instructions for updating firmware, formatting SD card, etc.
DO NOT BUY,,,, WAIST OF TIME AND MONEY
This thing SUCKS...…. Over heated and burned up a new memory card. Missed everything. Missed SOME OF THE BEST VIDEO I ever took and trashed a new card. This thing is going back and so is the card. Total waist of time buying and using.
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.

GoPro Hero 6 Black : An excellent but pricey action camera
A superb action camera with great image quality and image stabilisation; but rather pricey- 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
