CAMERA BUTTER sells HERO 8 REPLACEMENT LENS

I'm glad I purchased my 1st GoPro, which was the Hero8 before seeing this video & being steered away by these "problems" which are not problems at all. I love it.

As someone evaluating GoPro Hero 8 it has been interesting viewing the various video/stories about these issues 1) 'legs' - some H8's have no movement whilst others do - sounds like a production issue. Some reviewers love the legs as it removes use of cage 2) battery message - GP could have explained it clearer, in fact, it is still not clear exactly what it means. Rumour is Boost is impacted but no one has proved this yet. Some reviewers say they have noticed no impact even incl Boost. 3) non-replaceable lens is a weakness most agree especially if doing real action stuff There also seems to be microSD card issues (linked incorrectly to battery % low?) and firmware updates that kills the H8 instead of fixing it (hassle to update from scratch) Comparison tests of GPH7 v GPH8 v OsmoAction doing same tasks with similar best settings end up using the similar (+/-2%) battery power over the test

1:30 Have you tried tightening the screw onto the mount? I do and it doesn't move at all. Look up how to use a GoPro Hero 8 before you use it.

Get the roll cage or the tempered glass protector to help the lens stay protected. They wont degrade the image. Also, gopro 8 batteries have a higher discharge rate than the previous ones. This is to provide the camera with enough power for the high frame/bit rates. Old batteries do work but not in all modes

I totally agree about the lens cover not being removable, however, with my Hero 8, the flip down legs seem fairly steady, when I tighten the mounting screw enough. And, it is nice to not have to take the Hero 8 out of the mount to change the battery.

This, of course, ignoring that the OP might not have tightened his screws tight enough and that the give probably would not be there with a properly tightened screw - assuming that his unit isn't faulty like others have suggested in the comments. Personally, what would I do if I had this camera AND indeed I couldn't help to get rid of the give despite how tight I made the screw? I would simply put two fat layers of tape on each side or two fat rubbers, enough to block out the give.

So I saw your 7 vs 8 video as far as the looseness in the mount did you see any negatives in the footage you shot? Do you think the looseness could be a design feature thank you

I have the GoPro 7 and 8. I tighten down a little bit more(8) and it seems to fix the issue, plus I bought the case for it because I feel more comfortable putting it in rough situations with that protection. I don't think the clarity is affected by the extra lens it shoots through.

As I understood, the hero8 has no changable lenscover for two reasons: 1. GoPro 8 is waterproof until 5m so a changeable lens could be a point where water could enter the camera 2. they compensated it by using thicker and more solid glass in the 8 - so it is not as fragile as the glass from the previous models.

*gets camera 2 days ago* *makes review*

I've never had any type of camera like this but received mine from Amazon 3 days ago. I installed it on the front of my bike and Have a little over 150 mi on with no issues whatsoever. All I did was tighten the screw down and it's solid and steady. The video is amazing even while riding bumpy roads. I purchased the GoPro Rollcage for a little added protection plus the lens is removable so you can replace it.. I cannot comment on it because it was delivered today and I haven't had a chance to install it but from the reviews I believe it will be perfect for my usage. This is an awesome camera so far. Research and check people's reviews across the board and I'm sure you'll find what will be perfect for your usage.

Just got mine last night. Tested all different resolutions and frame rate for about 20 minutes on and off and the freaking thing turned off. Looks to be from overheating but it was 50F outside and still overheated. I'm going to test again but my hero7 never overheated. Might have to return. You had overheating problems ?

Obviously, u didn't tighten the screw, I just tested mine with different mount and the one on ur video and when it's tight there is no give. But I agree with you about lens cover.

CAMERA BUTTER sells HERO 8 REPLACEMENT LENS

very awesome got the package ehich had hero 8 , 2 batteries and 1 64 gb sd card for 360 on amazon. never owned a GoPro before and plan to film some experiences at my local amusement park, but is there a continuous safe battery alternative, or even compatibility with some of the slightly older GoPros in terms of batteries that can last a while? or is the only way swapping batteries and bringing the charger?

I do not have the give when mounting my hero8. Mine mounted quite solid. Try tightening the screws that hold the mounts to the camera. The new batteries have a higher discharge rate, which the camera needs with certain features that require more power, such as Hypersmooth Boost. Hence you get he warning with older batteries with lower discharge rates. Older batteries will therefore still work, but you won’t have access to some newer features.

I keep seeing about movement in the legs and my 8 has no movements at all. Not even a little. My one problem with this camera is the lens. The rest is absolutely awesome.

I just can't believe how some people don't understand basic things like maybe your foldable mount has a defect and even if it does it won't be a problem because the hero 8 is known for its hyper smooth 2.0 stabilization?!(I don't know anyone who actually likes the frame you had to put on the hero 7 for it to mount this is a huge upgrade) When he shows that a notification pops up when he puts the older battery saying the go pro isn't able to perform at peak performance it's very simple to understand:Older Battery=not peak performance,Updated Battery=peak performance, and if he really doesn't like how the notification pops up he can just select for it not to show up again. Even though it is true that the lens aren't removable they're 2x stronger so that shouldn't be a problem for most situations. I have a hero 8 and I guarantee that it won't let you down, in my opinion it's the best action camera that has come out so far:)

I agree. Furthermore the legs are moving when you need to insert any accessories, and if you are on the move, they close on themselves and is annoying a lot. Furthermore the back screen as don't have the frame around like the 7, is not protected at all, and I already broke it on the edge because there is no frame protection. The cover of the battery is also easily dropping out. As you mention no lens protection removable. I think they should remain on the same design of the 7black. and in case put an additional screen on the front like the Osmo Action that I find better in any way as ergonomics, but not in features (night timelapses, etc).

I do think however that it should be made so its replaceable. A good lens cap or cover would be helpful but not seen one yet besides the ones like the LCD protector that you stick on. I don't want to be shooting through an extra piece of glass or plastic.

Even with the screw tightened there is still a little bit of play. I didn't notice it before until you pointed it out. On a handheld mount it shouldn't be an issue. My 8 has the media mod, light, and shotgun mic and it's still pretty tight.

No polarized filters, no replaceable lens. The side door flies off everytime i open it. You need to tighten the mount screw. If you use older batteries, you can't use all the Hypersmooth features with certain settings.

The 8 was my very first go pro. When setting it up it told me my SD card was full. And everything it told me to do in order to free up space did nothing

You are a complete newb. Leave the reviews to those that have a simple grasp on how to operate the camera.

The non-removable lens is so you don’t get condensation stuck under it.

Sailed through the panama canal during the summer (extremely humid), snorkeled in barbados, swam in the middle of the atlantic and snowboarded in norway within a 4 month span and never had condensation in my hero 7 black. Just on the surface of the lens/camera. Not saying it doesn't happen, but it didn't happen to me and i'm pretty sure my GoPro has seen harsher weather conditions than most people.

I agree with most of what you said however, I believe that without the hero 8 battery you won't get the hyper smooth feature but everything else will work. As for the fold out legs, mine seem rock solid but I've only had the camera for a couple of months. I can see them creating more and more play over time the more they are used. Even after only 2 months, they don't seem as stiff as when new. Finally, I have to agree with you 100% about the new lens being fixed rather than replaceable. After doing some inquiries I've found out that people were complaining that the replaceable lens would fog up on the inside of the lens at times so Gopro decided to put a sealed lens on the hero 8 blk to address this issue. Unfortunately a screen/lens protector is your best option here. Cheers and thanks for sharing your opinions.

at this point in time have they worked out all of the firmware issues with the 7? I dont like those things about the 8 as well and I would rather buy a 7 but it had sooo many firmware issues and stuff. Have they fixed it by now

@@walkingmanvideo9455 epic, looks like im going with a 7

The sealed lens is designed to reduce fogging that often occurred in older models.

This guy didn’t tighten something up and is just wanting to give them a bad review

just wondering will a hero 8 fit into the mounting case that the 5,6,7 use? they look to be the same size?

The battery issue you mentioned is a feature availability issue. GoPro says that some program features may not work with a non GoPro 8 battery. And, I found that the mounting flingers don't wobble if you tighten the screw down. Don't just screw it down til it stops, firm it up a bit. I agree with the lens no being replaceable but there is a cover you can buy for it.

Thank you, I’ll stick with my 7 now.

Can you think how ruined your holiday videos would be if you scratched the hero 8 lens!!!!!! Keep the 7 , I just purchased another 7 black as the 8's lens is a problem not being able to change it.
