I've had GoPros off and on for the last 10 years. Never was that impressed with a lot of the footage.

Just did a ton of research. The new Hero 6 is a game changer.

4K with image stabilization + super slow motion options.

Video comes out of the camera pretty saturated so you don't have to color grade it to make it pop.

GoPro has pretty much been dog poop the last 3+ years. And the Sony's of the world were better.

This one changes things. Easier to setup and better footage.

Self-gratification is over rated. Why don't we just enjoy the place without sharing. I know I am a out of date.

About a year ago it was time to get a new action cam and I defected to the Garmin Virb (4k, IS, etc.). Two of the three GoPros I've owned have catastrophically failed, time to move on.
