Action cameras used to be all the rage, but it's a market that has been pretty quiet this year. If you've been waiting for a really good deal on one, now's your chance to get one of the best. Amazon has a Black Friday bundle featuring the GoPro Hero7 Black action camera packaged with a dual-battery charger, an extra battery, and a 64GB microSD card all for $299 total. The camera itself is usually $330 and currently discounted to $299, so you're getting all the other stuff added on for free basically.
GoPro recently announced a new generation of action camera, the Hero8, so it makes sense that we'd see a few Hero7 discounts this holiday shopping season. The Hero7 is still a great action camera, though, and it has the benefit of being much less expensive right now.
The Hero7 Black is the flagship of the 7th-generation GoPro lineup, which also includes the Silver and White. It can record up to 60 fps in 4K with plenty of lower resolutions available. In fact, being able to record in 1080p at 240 fps gives you the ability to slow down your video up to 8x for some really interesting shots. For still images, you'll have 12MP photos and a burst mode up to 30 fps. Beyond the advanced 4K video, the Black also has GoPro's HyperSmooth video stabilization. The new technology is vital for removing the shakes that often accompany action camera footage.
The Hero7 Black is water resistant up to 33 feet and come with a two-inch touch intuitive LCD screen. Expect to find plenty of other features like face and scene detection, SuperPhoto Auto HDR photo enhancement, and more. A few of the features unique to the Black versus the other models include Raw photos, live streaming, and TimeWarp video. You'll even have voice control, which is a great feature for operating the camera from a distance without a remote.
