Testing My New GoPro Hero 5 - Water Edition

in #life7 years ago

As some of my followers already know, my friends and I went to Barcelona to miss the G20 summit 2017 in Hamburg, Germany...



I wanted a new camera for a while know but I really couldnt decide between two to three models. After a few days staying in Barcelona, @sirwinchester came up with the idea to buy a Go Pro because of all the activities you can do here. The quality is 4K and is able to work under water as well as on air. 

I saw the new features of the Go Pro 5 black and quickly chose to buy it together with @sirwinchester.

The quality is really amazing and the new touchscreen makes it a perfect little travel guide. 

I didnt get to check all the features yet, but I tested serial recording, video and photo. Here are some impressions from my first shoot....



I first tried out serial recording...



Now some facts about the new Go Pro Hero5

    using simple voice commands.

Great post @soldier ! I was hoping to see a little bit of what the Go Pro Hero 5 is capable of doing... seriously considering getting it to record my adventures here in Jordan. Are you planning on using the timelapse feature? I'm dying to see how would a timelapse look with this bad boy!

Nice photos! I have the gopro hero 3. So old school. Considering the new one. It's nice that it has a screen and the battery life is way better. The stabilization feature is cool too.

got some good gear there, sure it will help you be a success here

Wow! Another cool device! Wonder what will you do with it, will you use it for some extreme sports?

Cool post and outstanding photos!

Go pro took some great shots

@soldier thanks for sharing such a nice post

Glad you're enjoying it! We've been seriously considering upgrading to the Hero5 but ultimately decided to spend the money on upgrading our drone 😄 We have a Session4 and it works surprisingly well! But still doesn't hold a candle to the Hero5.
