GoPro 7 vs GoPro 6 | Do you really need the Hero7?

In this video, I put the GoPro Hero 6 Black to the test and see if it can be as good as the GoPro Hero 7 Black in terms of stabilization and overall recording quality. I compare the Time Lapse and TimeWarp modes along with the lazy-mans timelapse. I also do a quick comparison of the microphones on both. Near the end of the video, I go over a few tricks with the 7 like formatting the SD card and solve an issue where 4K 24 has stabilization not supported.

Do you think the GoPro Hero 7 is worth the upgrade?

[ZdenkaDarula]

Awesome video!!!! Very nice comparison... I don't have neither of those so it was nice seeing it... very nicely done. Wishing you all the best.

[RohanVirdi]

I still can’t believe it . U have so less subscribers. Such good content. Keep up the good work

[TomDeCicco]

great comparison homie. I'm stoked to check out how drastic my old 5 is to the 7. I'd love to see you work post on the gopro color profiles you use. great video as per the usual.

[ErikThureson]

Good stuff, Ryan! Appreciate you doing this. Great value your bringing here! Been thinking about the 7 or the Insta360 One X.

[metalwooddesign]

Good to see a well done comparison on these, and on a rugged trail no less !!

[vanousb]

Great video. Have the 5 and the 6. Been thinking about getting the 7. Really like the on cam stabilizing. Just a quick question, do you see the washing out look of the 7 the norm or was that just a single event in the one vid you mentioned it in?

[AdventureMuse]

That was a chunky trail! Great tip on set up -I do really like the 7😄

So why is it with the gopro hero black 6 when you were riding on the bike was it smoother in 24 fps then 30fps I always thought the more fps the better the quality

[ErikThureson]

appreciate your commitment to camera science!!! lol

[shaneperry]

Worth every Penny, Love mine! I had a bunch of issues with my hero 6 black though so I'm bias LOL

[frankt]

I ride dirtbikes what would be better quality 1080 60 1080 30 or 1080 24 only reason why I ask because I find on my gopro 6 I did some tests in my car, I found that filming at 1080 60frs looks better and less nervous that shooting at 2.7 at 30fps

[StewartPalmshore]

Thanks, Ryan. I’m on the fence about upgrading. Costso has a good deal right now that includes some accessories, so I might go for it for my trip to Canada.

[trolis]

So what do you recommend more, gopro 7 or gopro 6 ?

[allyoucando]
