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

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

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:15.920
iphone 8 plus right here if it isn't the best iphone that they've

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

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:26.800
seven pluses so the question is just how much better is the hero 6 black

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

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:36.559
a camera how much better is it than this

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:42.640
and is it also better than our sponsor zotacs product the magnus en

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:46.239
1070 a compact high performance gaming machine well if you're looking for a

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

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

00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:09.119
is waterproof without an external enclosure it works with the same

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:14.159
accessories including the karma grip and drone and it has the same 20 milliamp

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.280
hour batteries and usb type-c charging port

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:21.759
gopro's companion app remains an option for remote control and monitoring but

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.159
like with the hero5 you don't have to use it anymore because the integrated 51

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:31.200
millimeter touchscreen makes it super easy to adjust settings like shutter

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:35.280
speed white balance iso and beep volume

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

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:43.600
time with that said once you've dialed in your favorite settings i think you'll

00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:47.920
probably give most of your commands to the hero 6 black by voice

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:52.560
and i know i know it's everybody's favorite gimmick right

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:57.360
now along with ai but think about it it actually makes way

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:00.799
more sense here than it does on most devices

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:05.680
if your camera is mounted to your head and your hands are full of you know

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.759
sports balls and athletic peripherals

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.840
you have no easy way of knowing whether the camera is recording or even what

00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:16.000
mode it's in but that doesn't matter with voice commands because it will

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:21.200
actually change from photo mode to video when i say gopro start recording

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:26.239
so yeah i know voice operation was

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:30.239
introduced on the hero5 black but it's also been expanded here in a couple of

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:35.519
meaningful ways including the ability to turn the camera off and up to eight

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:40.800
hours later back on which is theoretically awesome for saving battery

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.080
gopro turn on gopro turn on

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:49.920
as long as you can get it to work reliably okay then Linus that's great

00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:52.640
how about something that the five didn't have

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:57.200
sure while it might not look new on the

00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:02.319
outside instead of using a commercially available processor from amborella like

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.760
just about every other action cam on the market

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:09.680
under the hood of the hero 6 black we find something really special a brand

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:15.760
new custom processor called the gp1

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:18.400
cool name by the way you guys i wonder what that stands for

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.959
so this new chip has double the processing

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.200
power boosting nearly all of the camera's capabilities allowing it to

00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:32.879
record at higher bit rates capture higher dynamic range videos and even HDR

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:37.840
stills and perform electronic image stabilization along more axes

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

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:47.680
front of the box there the focus is on the frame rate

00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:52.319
4k video at 60 frames per second up from

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:54.239
30 last gen and 1080p video at 240

00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:59.439
frames per second for some wicked slow-mo up from 120 on the last gen

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:06.560
videos recorded at these high frame rates used the new h.265 hevc codec

00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:08.799
while the rest used garden variety h.264

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:15.840
it also has a new recording format called 4k 4x3 or about 4000 by 3000

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:20.639
pixels and it can do this at up to 30 frames per second this mostly adds

00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:24.960
vertical space to the recording and the purpose is to help the editor ensure

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

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:33.040
camera gets accidentally misaligned while you're running around out there on

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

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:41.280
slider now for digital zoom though you cannot adjust it while you're recording

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:46.639
so i would think of this as more like an

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:51.600
infinite number of field of view options and indeed the old narrow and medium

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:56.560
field of view modes are no longer with us finally the new photo burst mode

00:04:53.840 --> 00:05:00.880
called auto takes up to 30 photos per second but can actually take fewer if it

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:05.199
thinks that each shot requires more exposure time

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:08.400
which all sounds nice but

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:12.240
bearing in mind that the hero 5 black was only 400 when it launched just a

00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:18.000
year ago is this refresh really worth the 500

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:23.680
price tag i mean we are getting close to flagship smartphone territory and come

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

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:32.320
at 60 FPS too is there any point buying this thing at

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:37.120
all side by side you can see that video

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:41.039
quality between the two is actually pretty comparable though

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:46.880
keep in mind that it is not exactly an apples to apples comparison given that

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:49.520
the hero is wide angle and the iphone 8

00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:52.560
plus has a more conventional lens and a telephoto lens on its two discrete

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:57.919
sensors the hero 6 also lacks image

00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:00.560
stabilization at 4k 60 while the iphone

00:05:57.919 --> 00:06:04.080
8 has optical image stabilization all the time

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:08.160
with that said when shooting at 4k30 where the hero 6 black's electronic

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:12.880
image stabilization actually works it does work really well

00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:17.440
now obviously though these cameras are very different gopro products are rugged

00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:21.360
and have an ecosystem of accessories that have given them their reputation as

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:26.720
the primo action camera brand and even if you go

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

00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:37.280
last week you're still not going to get the immersive first person experience

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:38.720
that gopro's wide angle lens delivers

00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:43.600
so does the fact then that the hero 6 black

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:46.560
is arguably the best action cam ever made mean that you should run out and

00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:52.080
buy it well if it were 249 that i would say

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:55.360
hell yeah man but

00:06:53.039 --> 00:07:01.039
and this actually seems intentional gopro has priced it

00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:03.840
out of the range of you know your casual

00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:09.759
music festival attendee and closer to the prosumer threshold where the target

00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:12.560
buyer for this probably makes some money

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:15.520
maybe even to attract sponsors for their downhill racing or motocross or whatever

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:20.880
with epic action cam footage

00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:25.440
this strategy shift will probably result in fewer units sold but let's face it

00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:29.440
that was happening anyway and at least this way gopro can make up for it with

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:36.000
higher margins from the people who can more easily justify the higher price tag

00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:39.919
speaking of higher price tags don't you hate it when you go to the

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:44.160
grocery store to save money by making your own food and you end up buying

00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:47.360
stuff that you never end up using and it goes to waste

00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:51.039
and then you're like wow that was really pointless and it makes

00:07:48.880 --> 00:07:55.520
