The GoPro Hero 7 White is Garbage, And Here's Why!

  • I rarely, RARELY ever say something is flat out bad. I think there is a market out there for just about every piece of gear you can find. However this particular piece of camera gear does not have a market and you should not buy one.
    This is the GoPro Hero 7 White and its garbage. It might be the worst camera ever made, and not because its specs or features are bad, its bad because its a step backwards from an already made and similarly priced camera. And because it lies to you on the box.
    Do not but the GoPro Hero 7 White, its terrible.
    hbomberguy's video that was the inspiration for the title.

      I'm still seriously thinking about getting it because all of the things that he mentioned don't bother me at all. Especially because there was an update for the 1080p.
      I'd NEVER use 4k because I'm not trying to deal with those file sizes. I once DITed where they were using either an Arri Amira or a Red and 4k was the biggest pain in the ass ever. Yes, your footage looks sweet but it's not worth the pain in the ass to edit.

    Sounds like the marketing Dept. sat around a board room and came up with a camera which they could sell to people who always wanted a "GoPro" but could never afford one, and didn't really care about the specs.
    So when a teen asks "Daddy, I want a GoPro for Christmas" the dad will go to the store and buy the cheapest GoPro he can find. He'll think, "This one is new, and it has a cheap price".
    And on Christmas morning, the kid will open up their present and think, "Wow, I now own a GoPro", and everyone will be happy.

    For anyone thinking about getting one, remember your actual ability in film making is far more important.....you could have the best camera in the world but if you fail to make good shots/scenes what's the point. Likewise have a camera that even records in 720p but make some great angles, some great transitions and stuff then that'll be far better

    I wish I saw this 24hrs earlier. On a whim I bought a Hero7 White because it was ridiculously cheap online. Like stupid cheap. But now I'm thinking regardless of the discount. I received it, realised there is no 4k option, let alone the shortfall of the non-removable battery as well as the resolution and aspect ratio issues, that I have learnt have been remedied with an update.... the lack of ability to connect external mics has also made it a useless camera for me, which will be forced to be my onboard camera while the vlogging will still be done on my Hero 4, which shoots in 4k and can connect an external mic to it easily. I can carry extra batteries and do mid-shoot battery swaps.
    Sure, I made a purchasing error. So I'll likely flip this thing and use that money to buy a better model where I'll do more research next time. Derp! I genuinely didn't think GoPro would go backwards like that. That is the complete opposite of progress. Seriously..... TF? GoPro!

    Me as a photographer have an additional issue with the Hero 7 White: Just jpegs, no raw images, for that you have to grab the Hero 7 Black. Seriously, GoPro? I can grab a Yi 4k Plus for about the same price as a Hero 7 *White* here! So why should I even bother with it?
    Oh, and about the entry-level vlogging camera showdown you did a few weeks ago: In local stores around here you can get the EOS M100 with 15-45 kit lens for about 300 Euros sometimes, so at that price point I'd maybe prefer it over the a5100 or the Lumix. But at the usual price I'd prefer the Lumix: More lenses, and for me as a photographer: A Viewfinder! And a dial where you can adjust the shoot mode directly: one shot, 4k timelapse, bracketing, timer. How cool is that?

  • @BorysPomianek

    The intended market would damage a hero black by allowing water to enter the battery compartment, would mess up their settings, would have no idea what to do with 4k files, would lose the lens casing or remove it only to scratch the lens underneath by improperly cleaning it, would put the wrong type of SD card and then complain it's broken because they can't use some features and the list goes on.
    The white is really expensive for what it is and still there is really nothing on the market that offers the same features including ease of use.
    Only a very few other cameras below this price range offer similar IQ regardless of resolution and all of them have issues, either losing system time and date when changing batteries or requiring android phones to be put into airplane mode to properly connect to them.
    All of them need cases to be waterproof and at 1080p, they usually last half the time on one replaceable battery as the white lasts on it's internal battery and all of them have an insane amount of pointless settings and unfit accessories like remotes that are not waterproof.
    This is a simple camera for those that need it including as a gift for grandpa, for a child, for the other half that has no time to mess around with settings.
    Meanwhile prosumers who fancy themselves videographers are suddenly struck unable to crop something down to 16:9 or to change the FOV that way. Using the hero black and changing the battery while software adjusting FOV and going up to 4k does absolutely nothing to make more valuable or watchable walking around with a selfie stick and talking to yourself.

  • @TheExtreme869

    I believe what’s happening here is is the 1440p it’s set to just extends the field of view from 16:9 1080p to fit a 4:3 screen and doesn’t zoom in at all to do that. So, you could edit a 16:9 video out of the middle of that video and it would be 1080p, wide field of view and you could edit it our from where ever you wanted to. Also, it’s technically higher than 1080p. Because of this, they think they can put 1080p on the box because when non-techys look at the box and see 1080p, they’ll think it’s good quality for a cheap price and want to buy it as they know what 1080p is as a standard. If they put 1440p on there, non-techys might not know what it is and think it’s not very good of a quality and not worth their money.
    Still, they shouldn’t lie on the box. In my opinion, they should just give the camera 1080p 16:9 and 1440p 4:3 options so users can record in whichever aspect ratio they want to without having to use a video editor to get the correct crop, as some people might not have one and any free one they use will leave a disgusting watermark, or they just might not know how to use one.
    Also, I’m sure they made the HERO7 White to try to trick people into buying it as a budget action camera over the HERO 2018 because it actually restricts a lot of features for the cheaper price, but with the HERO 2018 you can easily unlock the firmware on it, and BOOM! With that error they’ve just allowed you to pay less for a brand new HERO5.
    P.S. I have a HERO+ LCD (2014) :P. At least it’s better than the HERO+ (2014) and the HERO (2014). I mean, I got it on ebay for $63.00. And, it was even advertised as the HERO+ (2014) but when it arrived I realised they had actually sent a HERO+ LCD (2014)!

    I’ve had mine for a year. But I haven’t used it for 9 months. Worst thing about it. It locks up randomly, and when I somehow manage to unlock it then it asks for the date and time. 2nd worst thing: It takes ages to boot up before I can even start recording. None of my other cameras takes ages to boot up, they are ready to record as soon as power is on, but not the GoPro. 3rd worst thing: I already applied the firmware updates from December 2018 and waited months for a new update to fix these really glaring issues. 9 months later however they finally came up with an update. Hopefully that fixes all these problems, but in my mind garbage products are sold by garbage companies. This has tainted the reputation of GoPro in my mind and I’m more likely to go with another brand when I come to replace this thing.

    So here it is, Wednesday , June 5th 2019 and I FINALLY decide to enter the Gopro game. I mainly wanted a really small camera to take with me to use while working where I make a lot of my youtube videos and I wanted something a little tougher than a point and shoot. I was at Best Buy looking at the Hero 7 white for $199. I was seriously considering it, and almost bought it, but decided I would do a little more research. So, I'm sitting in their parking lot looking at reviews and youtube videos and this one popped up. Remember, I didn't know much about Gopros. So I see the Hero 2018 and it looks like a much better alternative. So I started looking online to see if this camera is even available anymore. Not having much luck, but then, one of my local Target stores shows it in stock. So I head over to see. The girl in electronics checks, but can't find it on her scanner deal. She asks me to pull it up, which I do, and gets some numbers from their website and says it shows one left. She goes to the back and comes out with the last one. As a matter of fact, she said someone bought one about an hour and a half before I did. Looks like one of the few times I got lucky. And thanks to your video, I found out about the Hero 2018. Btw, Target's price was $199 and they price matched the lowest online price I could find, which was $187. Plus I got an additional 5% off for signing up for their credit card. So out the door with tax was $196.45. Not too bad if you ask me.
