The Hero 7 Black looks very similar to last year’s Hero 6 Black, with the square lens housing still protruding a few millimeters from the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may look a little drab, but that’s actually a good thing, especially if you’re a pro-level GoPro user, as you probably already own a range of mounts and accessories. In fact, you can use the GoPro Hero 7 with any accessories from the Hero 5 Black and later. As with older GoPro cameras, the Hero 7 has two housings: one housing houses the camera’s removable 1,220 mAh GoPro Hero 7 Black Camera Battery<\/a><\/u><\/strong>and microSD card slot, and the other housing the micro-HDMI 2.0 video output and USB-Type C “SuperCharge” port, which can also be used for data transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The power and shutter buttons are in the same places – on the left edge and on the top plate – and behind them is a 2-inch touchscreen that can now be used in both landscape and portrait modes. There’s also a simple monochrome LCD screen on the front that displays key information such as mode and elapsed time.Hero 7 Black Camera Battery<\/a><\/u><\/strong>life isn’t much of a boost over last year’s model, with around 70 minutes of 4K video at 60fps with HyperSmooth enabled. GoPro says HyperSmooth uses less power – so if you disable it you’ll get a slight improvement in battery life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charging doesn’t take long, especially when using the fast charger provided in the box, but I’d recommend carrying a power bank or some spare batteries when you’re out shooting.GoPro Hero 7 Black Camera Battery<\/a><\/u><\/strong>Sadly there’s still no tripod mount on the camera body, but the camera is fully waterproof up to 10 meters. Being able to throw a GoPro in the pool and take it diving, surfing and swimming with it without worrying about damage is a huge plus. Its competitors, such as the Yi 4K+, require waterproof housings to work properly underwater, which seriously affects the sound quality when out of the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need to take your camera deeper underwater, it can do that as well, as it can protect the action camera in up to 60 meters of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
