WARNING: Do NOT attempt to update your HERO8 rental with GoPro's Webcam Beta for MacOS. In our tests we found the update too volatile for use right now. We will update when it's more stable. Updating this GoPro rental on your own may result in a fee. The update cannot just be reverted, thank you.

The GoPro HERO8 Black Camera offers the best of prior GoPro models, including a 12MP low-light sensitive sensor, 4K up to 60 FPS with 1080p up to 240 FPS, Protune, and built-in waterproofing. The HERO8 improves on these specs by perfecting advanced features. Here are the new multimedia-friendly tools and enhancements offered in GoPro's latest flagship camera:

HyperSmooth Video

Enjoy gimbal-like stabilization built right into the camera with a radically-enhanced HyperSmooth 2.0, which now has multiple levels of stabilization to predict your movements. It compensates for camera shake and offers in-app horizon leveling for smooth, professional-looking video. Additionally, the body of the camera itself has built-in mounting.

Digital Lenses

You now have the option of four different lenses, accessible with a simple tap on the screen: Narrow (27mm), Linear (19-39mm), Wide (16-34mm), and SuperView (16mm).

TimeWarp 2.0

Enjoy the same TimeWarp effect you love but now enjoy it with automatic speed selection. Opt to speed up/slow down footage with a simple tap. Stop shooting in TimeWarp and go immediately to real-time recording and back again.

LiveBurst Mode

Capture a fast series of shots in a 3-second video (up to 90 images) and go through your sequence frame-by-frame to grab the perfect shot.

Enhanced Audio

The prior model, the GoPro HERO7, introduced much-needed improvements to the built-in microphone. The GoPro HERO8 takes it a step further by repositioning the mic to the front of the camera.

Other Upgrades and Enhancements

The GoPro HERO8 made a bunch of small improvements, including...

• Revamped algorithms for improved HDR and higher contrast.

• A newly-streamlined companion GoPro app.

• Live streaming in 1080p (vs the prior's 720p).

• A new, customizable interface.

The HERO8's new feature set is ideal for vloggers and action sports shooters. This rugged, waterproof, ready-to-go camera is also the perfect tool when on vacation.
