It’s used by Quik for processing afterwards.ġ5) Much faster touch screen: Simply put it’s faster. Mounts, batteries, cases, etc… are all identical to Hero5 Black.ġ4) Increased camera algorithms: The camera can now detect faces, though it doesn’t expose that yet. It also introduces some compatibility issues though (I’ll cover later).ġ2) Slightly improved voice control: You can now turn on the camera entirely via voice, previously you had to power it on manually.ġ3) All mounts/cases stay the same: While not new, it’s definitely notable. This essentially gives you tons of flexibility compared to existing narrow/medium crops.ĩ) New HDR Photo Capture: While previously there was WDR, this is actually a 3-image compilation.ġ0) Dual 2.4Ghz/5Ghz for downloads: This dramatically speeds up downloads for larger files over 5Ghz, GoPro says this will double speeds, and that seems valid in my case.ġ1) Changed file formats: For 4Kp240, they’ll now use H.265 HEVC file formats, which halves the file space requirement. Check out my comparison video below to see what I mean.ħ) Better image stabilization: 3-Axis image correction in all angles, most notably the roll axis in wide shots (previously it didn’t correct for roll axis in wide).Ĩ) New zoom slider option: You can zoom 0-100% within the image to a custom framing. Also, they increased long exposure to 10-seconds from 2-seconds.Ħ) Better dynamic range with lighting conditions: Like low-light performance, the speed and clarity here is astounding.

If text and photos are more your thing, then here’s here’s my listing of what I’d consider to be the key new features:ġ) New 4K at 60FPS: Previously the Hero5 Black was limited to 30 frames per second.Ģ) Image Stabilization at 4K: Previously this was limited to 2.7K, though you still can’t do 4K/60.ģ) New 1080p at 240: This is a significant bump from previous 720p at 240FPS, which is used in slow-mo.Ĥ) New GoPro GP1 Chipset: This in-house chipset for image processing replaces Ambarella, which GoPro and many others have used for years.ĥ) Better low-light performance: This is probably what I’d consider the two biggest items on the camera. From features to sample footage, it’s all here: To cover everything new in one tidy video, I’ve got this awesome-sauce (if I do say so) compilation I made.
After using a unit for a few weeks, it’s clear that the lesser mentioned features like low-light performance and dynamic range are actually the real winners here. In reality, I’d actually argue the opposite. This couldn’t be further from the truth.įurther, some will look at top-line stats like 4K60 resolution, and then assume the rest is marketing speak. I suspect some folks will look at the Hero6 Black and see that it physically looks virtually indistinguishable from the Hero5 Black, and assume that the insides are also similar. You can hit up the links at the bottom if you found the review useful – I appreciate it! What’s new: As always, once I’m done with these two loaner cameras I’ll ship them back to GoPro. I’ve been testing the Hero6 Black for a bit now, giving me a good grasp of how well the cameras work, both the good and the bad. While many of the changes are under the covers at the image processing level, they dramatically change the image quality of both photos and videos. Some of those changes are headliner options like 4K at 60FPS (frames per second), or 1080P at 240FPS. While it may look the same from the outside, it’s packed with tons of huge changes on the inside. Today GoPro announced their latest action cam – the GoPro Hero6 Black.
