1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,720
the new gopro hero 6 black is the best action cam ever but if we're being

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:11,280
honest we can kind of expect that at this point right it's kind of like this

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:15,920
iphone 8 plus right here if it isn't the best iphone that they've

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:20,640
made yet wouldn't they just throw it in a bin where it belongs and keep selling

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:26,800
seven pluses so the question is just how much better is the hero 6 black

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,880
compared to last year's hero 5 black and at this price for something that is just

7
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:36,559
a camera how much better is it than this

8
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:42,640
and is it also better than our sponsor zotacs product the magnus en

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,239
1070 a compact high performance gaming machine well if you're looking for a

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:51,960
camera maybe but if you're looking for a high performance gaming machine probably not check it out at the link below

11
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:04,960
so the hero 6 black has nearly the exact same body as the hero 5 meaning that it

12
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,119
is waterproof without an external enclosure it works with the same

13
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:14,159
accessories including the karma grip and drone and it has the same 20 milliamp

14
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,280
hour batteries and usb type-c charging port

15
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:21,759
gopro's companion app remains an option for remote control and monitoring but

16
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,159
like with the hero5 you don't have to use it anymore because the integrated 51

17
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:31,200
millimeter touchscreen makes it super easy to adjust settings like shutter

18
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:35,280
speed white balance iso and beep volume

19
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:39,840
and to review your footage in the field as long as you aren't underwater at the

20
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:43,600
time with that said once you've dialed in your favorite settings i think you'll

21
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:47,920
probably give most of your commands to the hero 6 black by voice

22
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:52,560
and i know i know it's everybody's favorite gimmick right

23
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:57,360
now along with ai but think about it it actually makes way

24
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:00,799
more sense here than it does on most devices

25
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:05,680
if your camera is mounted to your head and your hands are full of you know

26
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,759
sports balls and athletic peripherals

27
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,840
you have no easy way of knowing whether the camera is recording or even what

28
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:16,000
mode it's in but that doesn't matter with voice commands because it will

29
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:21,200
actually change from photo mode to video when i say gopro start recording

30
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,239
so yeah i know voice operation was

31
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:30,239
introduced on the hero5 black but it's also been expanded here in a couple of

32
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:35,519
meaningful ways including the ability to turn the camera off and up to eight

33
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:40,800
hours later back on which is theoretically awesome for saving battery

34
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,080
gopro turn on gopro turn on

35
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:49,920
as long as you can get it to work reliably okay then Linus that's great

36
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,640
how about something that the five didn't have

37
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:57,200
sure while it might not look new on the

38
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:02,319
outside instead of using a commercially available processor from amborella like

39
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,760
just about every other action cam on the market

40
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,680
under the hood of the hero 6 black we find something really special a brand

41
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,760
new custom processor called the gp1

42
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:18,400
cool name by the way you guys i wonder what that stands for

43
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,959
so this new chip has double the processing

44
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,200
power boosting nearly all of the camera's capabilities allowing it to

45
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:32,879
record at higher bit rates capture higher dynamic range videos and even HDR

46
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:37,840
stills and perform electronic image stabilization along more axes

47
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,120
but most of that stuff doesn't actually even make it to the bold print on the

48
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:47,680
front of the box there the focus is on the frame rate

49
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:52,319
4k video at 60 frames per second up from

50
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:54,239
30 last gen and 1080p video at 240

51
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:59,439
frames per second for some wicked slow-mo up from 120 on the last gen

52
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:06,560
videos recorded at these high frame rates used the new h.265 hevc codec

53
00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:08,799
while the rest used garden variety h.264

54
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:15,840
it also has a new recording format called 4k 4x3 or about 4000 by 3000

55
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:20,639
pixels and it can do this at up to 30 frames per second this mostly adds

56
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:24,960
vertical space to the recording and the purpose is to help the editor ensure

57
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:29,280
that the action isn't getting cut off at the top or bottom of the frame if the

58
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:33,040
camera gets accidentally misaligned while you're running around out there on

59
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:38,639
the subject of framing you can also zoom now sort of hero 6 black has a linear

60
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:41,280
slider now for digital zoom though you cannot adjust it while you're recording

61
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,639
so i would think of this as more like an

62
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:51,600
infinite number of field of view options and indeed the old narrow and medium

63
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:56,560
field of view modes are no longer with us finally the new photo burst mode

64
00:04:53,840 --> 00:05:00,880
called auto takes up to 30 photos per second but can actually take fewer if it

65
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:05,199
thinks that each shot requires more exposure time

66
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,400
which all sounds nice but

67
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,240
bearing in mind that the hero 5 black was only 400 when it launched just a

68
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:18,000
year ago is this refresh really worth the 500

69
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:23,680
price tag i mean we are getting close to flagship smartphone territory and come

70
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:28,800
to think of it on top of everything else it does the iphone 8 can take 4k video

71
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:32,320
at 60 FPS too is there any point buying this thing at

72
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:37,120
all side by side you can see that video

73
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:41,039
quality between the two is actually pretty comparable though

74
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:46,880
keep in mind that it is not exactly an apples to apples comparison given that

75
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:49,520
the hero is wide angle and the iphone 8

76
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:52,560
plus has a more conventional lens and a telephoto lens on its two discrete

77
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:57,919
sensors the hero 6 also lacks image

78
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,560
stabilization at 4k 60 while the iphone

79
00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:04,080
8 has optical image stabilization all the time

80
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:08,160
with that said when shooting at 4k30 where the hero 6 black's electronic

81
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,880
image stabilization actually works it does work really well

82
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:17,440
now obviously though these cameras are very different gopro products are rugged

83
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:21,360
and have an ecosystem of accessories that have given them their reputation as

84
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:26,720
the primo action camera brand and even if you go

85
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:31,199
out and get a gimbal for your iphone or you tape it to your forehead like i did

86
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:37,280
last week you're still not going to get the immersive first person experience

87
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:38,720
that gopro's wide angle lens delivers

88
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:43,600
so does the fact then that the hero 6 black

89
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:46,560
is arguably the best action cam ever made mean that you should run out and

90
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:52,080
buy it well if it were 249 that i would say

91
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,360
hell yeah man but

92
00:06:53,039 --> 00:07:01,039
and this actually seems intentional gopro has priced it

93
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,840
out of the range of you know your casual

94
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:09,759
music festival attendee and closer to the prosumer threshold where the target

95
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:12,560
buyer for this probably makes some money

96
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:15,520
maybe even to attract sponsors for their downhill racing or motocross or whatever

97
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:20,880
with epic action cam footage

98
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:25,440
this strategy shift will probably result in fewer units sold but let's face it

99
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:29,440
that was happening anyway and at least this way gopro can make up for it with

100
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:36,000
higher margins from the people who can more easily justify the higher price tag

101
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:39,919
speaking of higher price tags don't you hate it when you go to the

102
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:44,160
grocery store to save money by making your own food and you end up buying

103
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:47,360
stuff that you never end up using and it goes to waste

104
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,039
and then you're like wow that was really pointless and it makes

105
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:55,520
me feel bad well blue apron allows you to create delicious chef designed

106
00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:59,440
recipes at home they deliver all the farm fresh ingredients you need right to

107
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:04,160
your doorstep and they do it in exactly the right proportions no trip to the

108
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,960
grocery store no waste from unused ingredients

109
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,479
blue apron recipes are delivered in a refrigerated box so the ingredients will

110
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:14,080
stay fresh even if you're not at home when your package arrives and their

111
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:18,160
whole vision is to develop a more sustainable food system through

112
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:23,280
sustainable fishing responsible farming and by reducing food waste

113
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:27,440
so they offer two types of plans the two-person plan and the family plan

114
00:08:25,599 --> 00:08:32,159
there's no commitment you can skip or cancel the service at any time with each

115
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:35,919
menu being between 500 to 800 calories per person you can prepare meals in 40

116
