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 Hero 6 Black review: The best action camera ever made
If there's one brand that's synonymous with action cameras, it's GoPro . The company has completely dominated the market, with arguably its most important year-to-date being 2017.- Easy to use
- reliable
- great video quality and shooting options
- voice control works well and mobile apps are first class
- It's a bit pricey
- touchscreen can be fiddly
- low-light photos need improvement in auto mode
GoPro Hero6 Black review
It's safe to say the Hero6 Black is the best action cam GoPro has made. That doesn't necessarily mean it's the right one for you though. The new shooting modes are excellent, particularly if you're shooting for the big screen or have a penchant for dramatic slo-mos. But they don't come completely without cost. You'll need some recent laptop or smartphone hardware to edit the clips and they do take a bigger toll on battery life than full HD shooting. Even if you don't need to shoot reels of 4K, though, the Hero6's improved image stabilisation, dynamic range and low light capabilities make it a tempting proposition over the cheaper Hero5. If you want the absolute best action cam around, and are prepared to pay the £100 premium over its competition, this is it.- Superb video quality
- Image stabilisation works really well
- Loads of mounts and accessories
- Auto-editing software is useful
- Some potential codec frustration
- Battery life quite short when shooting 4K
- Doesn't support Bluetooth mics

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.

I got it for my partner for Christmas he loves it has found anything wrong with it
