Thx Sir nice footages, I am also super stoked with the GoPro Hero 6 my first ever action Cam & it has fantastic features. The colours & resolution is much better than my smartphone's which I had been using as my sole video filming device until now, at least the GoPro doesn't struggles with focus like smartphones does & I always record on wide angle anyway. HEVC h.265 codec is the future format but my laptop PC & older generation 4K TV doesn't support it though, I have downloaded the Windows Media Player plugins that only plays back in very slow motion without audio. Regardless of this I still prefer HEVC codec because the file size is considerably smaller in 4K 60fps & 30fps, when shooting in 4K 60fps wide I find it's not too shaky but not best is it because there's no image stabilization at that video mode? Cheers.

Fantastic review, I still don't know why GoPro haven't released a "BLACK" GoPro, as the name suggests - Hero 4 Black, Hero 5 Black, Hero 6 Black. It is bizarre that the 5 and the 6 have the exact same body, it is really hard to tell the difference between the two. I filmed a side by side with the Hero 5 and Hero 6, I definitely mixed the two up a few times :(

How did you not mention that HEVC (h.265) takes almost half the disk storage as normal h.264 videos?

the 2nd soc they make will be worth that price wait next year

I am have trouble connecting "pairing" my GoPro Hero 6 with my GoPro Multi Controller app downloaded for my smartphone, it says unable to connect even when the camera's name & password matches. Is it a problem with the WiFi because it indicates no WiFi connection even switching from both 2.4 G to 5 G as my router is capable of dual bands, please advise me. Thx.

The Iphonedo review comes to opposite conclusions. And I trust him more as he actually backs up his conclusions properly.

The iPhone 8 can do the same at a much cheaper price.

iPhone 8/+/X probably wouldnt need this but because most of them are dumb af, they would probably buy it without having sense that their phone is capable of recording 4k60fps
