Ouch! Why did they increase the price by $100 dollars? Seems kinda like price gouging but I guess they got control right now. Plus according to your unboxing they gave you less mounts in the box. That's seems kinda shady. But... I will be getting one anyway.
We've just started doing natural sound and sight video walks on our site using the GoPro hero 6 black, we're happy with the results and thought we'd share it with you. Thanks for you're video, most helpful.
Wow, the colors are really vibrant! We currently use the Hero 5 Black in our studios to do livestreams and our only complaint with the Hero 5 is the flat color that it returns. Seeing your comparison gives me hope that the Hero 6 Black will be far superior in the colors and that makes a difference especially when kids are watching our channel. Thanks for the awesome review!
Best GoPro Hero 6 review and comparison ever seen, thank you very much my frd! I've used Hero 5 for nearly a year and wondering how the Hero 6 would perform. Now it seems the Hero 6 has way better color contrast and image stabilization, very impressive!
Thanks for the video. I appreciate the time you put and it gave me a clear idea of whether I should buy the 6 or not for my vlogs I wanted to do in the near future
Any reason why you never turned on EIS on the 5? Also, same question with auto low light? How could you make a comparison video when the settings are skewed in favor of the other? Lol
@@oldmarty1206 exactly my thoughts. I’ve noticed this in more of his video’s. Stabilization looked great on the hero 6 until there was a new video of the hero 6 vs 7 and suddenly the 6 was all shaking with stabilizing on lol
CARdiology No, it's an upgrade to an older device. He is comparing an apple to a polished apple; your example compares an orange to an apple and asks which one is sweeter. It's a new camera capability so it's an advantage. Now if he was using a stabilization feature that WASN'T PART OF THE CAMERA, then I would understand what you mean.
Because you simply can't turn on EIS with the 5 when shooting 4k. If you are comparing the riding experience of a V8 mustang with an ecoboost, do you call for the V8 to turn 4 cylinders off lol
dude, i love your videos. you have such a natural and informative style, i really like that. i hate reviews, where people shout around, and act like they are on drugs. you know how to deliver the important facts in a good way. keep on delivering such great videos
First time finding your channel. I’m running the Gopro silver 4 and I’ve been really happy with it but I need slow mo. As a UA-cam myself I appreciate the time and effort that you put into this video. People who don’t do this will never know how much time and energy, and effort that it takes. You have a sub from me. I would like to know what type of editing program that you use in order to edit these videos. Thanks for your time
wow night and day difference! I use Canon 70D might switch to go pro hero 6 for daily vlogging! How do you rate Audio generally.. you had a comparison there but in general how does go pro audio fare?
Thanks, I can't now :( (youtube tells me the "system will re-index the video" which hurts the video seo rank.. sadly I can't add now) Thanks anyway for the heads up Here's the video, HERO 6 vs YI 4K+: ua-cam.com/video/jyl7pLEzXyk/v-deo.html
New to the GoPro world and going to make a purchase soon. One big thing I'm looking forward to is quality still images. In your video the 6 takes stunning video, is that quality gap also in photos?
Nicely done. I am new to the whole GoPro phenomenon. I will definately be getting the Hero 6. What editing software is everyone using? Accessory recommendations? What about sound quality? I will mostly be making videos of the grandkids. Thanks.
I prefer watching a comparision between "Gopro hero 6" and the "iPhone7" or "Iphone8" because iPhone's camera look like the actual place to me the most. Can't wait to see. By the way, Why your Gopro hero 6 look less blue and less green than other UA-camr? Which is nice cuz I found so many Gp6 video look over blue and green. From my research, I think there are some defect unit that the screen on the back show white as a bit green and the video color look over compensation. Correct me If I'm wrong. Thank you so much:)
great review! helped a lot. what audio did you prefer (for voice/clarity) 5 or 6? is there an external mic available/can a windscreen or pop filter be added to existing mic? and does either have time lapse or is that an editing software thing...? Thanks!
Looks like the GP6 is approaching the quality and features of the Sony FDR6000. Image stabilization is so much improved as to be like night and day. Plus the speed features, etc.
Optics looks to be significantly better. Look at the water and grass, i.e. 3:28 part. You can see ripples/waves and grass strands nicely, and color is more blue. Reflections in water also look nice.
Thanks for making this video man. Found out 3 days ago that the Hero 6 cameo out and I had no idea. I think Ima buy it. If not then Ima wait for the next Hero 6 (if they do a silver edition or something) or I will wait for the Hero 7. They just need to work on the battery life and low light more I think.
Not sure if this was addressed in the comments, but you have random frames in your video that flick up in exposure? (1:25) was just curious why that might be? Are you using FCP? Did you not convert the Gopro H.264 footage? Thanks!
Hi @AuthenTech you are publishing so many reviews on gopro and action cameras so you will be having a wide variety of action cameras. Can you start some giveaways of the action cameras?
So which one do YOU like better?! Is it worth the upgrade to YOU?! Do you like the new, punchier, saturated colors and contrast? I personally kinda like it, less editing on my part, and the improved dynamic range, stabilization, new shooting frame-rates... I'm gonna keep it!
I am extremely surprised with the results of your review. Not sure whether you have watched any of the other reviews on UA-cam, but a common theme has been the Hero 6's clips and images for some reason look way darker than that of the Hero 5. So, I have to say I am very confused right now.
Great Video as always! You are one of the few who like this new camera. It is not bad, but it still has the blocky GoPro look. I will stick with the Sony FDR-X3000. Better picture AND stabilization hands down.
Is the stabilization on the hero5 at 1080 just as good? Im trying to keep things under budget and I know that I will be shooting in 1080, but that EIS part is sweet!
A problem with The 6 is that it has a lot of problems, at 1:08 to 1:22 if you look at the tree to the right in The 6 Part, you can see like a line that is blue coming off of The tree. That is why I would get The 5. This is just My opinion btw, everyone else has different opinions.
On the shot of the geese in slo-mo the image starts to break up a lot on the wings. Is that just crappy UA-cam compression after the fact? Or are you getting those artifacts in the raw footage?
Check out the current pricing of both on Amazon (with PRIME shipping):
GoPro HERO 6 ➜ amzn.to/2xg8RXZ
GoPro HERO 5 ➜ amzn.to/2fPUZw8
Ouch! Why did they increase the price by $100 dollars? Seems kinda like price gouging but I guess they got control right now. Plus according to your unboxing they gave you less mounts in the box. That's seems kinda shady. But... I will be getting one anyway.
the new price is really expensive..
your reviews are awesome
having a technical problem how do i service the camera in india.
you didn't give proper credit to tobu. Read the usage rights
Such a great comparison video - I've been looking into GoPros lately and this is incredibly helpful! Thank you for sharing this!!
Go pro 6 is somehow little bit creepy at night😂 it’s like the night version in Outlast🙆🏼🙊😂
Minniw 5 better
We've just started doing natural sound and sight video walks on our site using the GoPro hero 6 black, we're happy with the results and thought we'd share it with you. Thanks for you're video, most helpful.
Sweet, thanks!
@@AuthenTech Can you see yourself when you use the selfie stick with the GoPro6?
If not, how would I know I am getting a good shot if I'm vlogging?
Wow, the colors are really vibrant! We currently use the Hero 5 Black in our studios to do livestreams and our only complaint with the Hero 5 is the flat color that it returns. Seeing your comparison gives me hope that the Hero 6 Black will be far superior in the colors and that makes a difference especially when kids are watching our channel. Thanks for the awesome review!
Twin Challenge Toys chuck a lut on your livestream footage. Ycimaging does it
u can edit colours on premier pro tho? problem solved by colour grading
5 looks better than 6 from your testing,much natural color,contrast ,more detail in the shadow,and the right image in low light.
How about 5 vs 7 or 8?😭
Thanks for the detail comparison. Awesome
Best GoPro Hero 6 review and comparison ever seen, thank you very much my frd! I've used Hero 5 for nearly a year and wondering how the Hero 6 would perform. Now it seems the Hero 6 has way better color contrast and image stabilization, very impressive!
I came to this video hoping to convince myself I don’t need to upgrade to the Hero 6....thanks for costing me $500+ 😮
Go pro 5 has better audio
I thought I was the only one who noticed (heard) it :)
404 Chris does it have good enough for a concert?
404 Chris Yup
Year
Thanks for the video. I appreciate the time you put and it gave me a clear idea of whether I should buy the 6 or not for my vlogs I wanted to do in the near future
Any reason why you never turned on EIS on the 5? Also, same question with auto low light?
How could you make a comparison video when the settings are skewed in favor of the other? Lol
Exactly, his new post about gopro 7 vs 6 he makes the 6 looks like sh** ... May be he is getting money out of this.
u cant turn on EIS on the 5 if u shoot video in 4k.
@@oldmarty1206 exactly my thoughts. I’ve noticed this in more of his video’s. Stabilization looked great on the hero 6 until there was a new video of the hero 6 vs 7 and suddenly the 6 was all shaking with stabilizing on lol
you're the best reviewer i've been found so far. your video so easy to understand, even i'm bad in english language XD
2:20 Thanks, I had no idea how math works.
Nice comparison video!! Love it!
Your comparison video rocks! Good job! :)
are you comparing two cameras with stabilization on and second off? seriously????
Yes, since he's pointing out the difference it makes when shooting in 4K. The Hero 5 has no EIS in 4K.
Largamelion it’s like comparing Ford mustang with tesla which one has lower gasoline consumption.
Largamelion - thanks for pointing this out - I thought it'd be obvious to most people... my mistake lol ;-)
CARdiology No, it's an upgrade to an older device. He is comparing an apple to a polished apple; your example compares an orange to an apple and asks which one is sweeter.

this was a very helpful video! thank you so much, i know what version im gonna go with now!

+Günther Seiringer - thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate hearing that feedback
Still using GoPro Hero 5 Black in 2023!
Great job. Nice comparison video. I am a Portuguese speaker and the pronunciation of your English is just perfect! Thank you so much!
nice, simple, direct review. Thanks, Sir.
superb video very very very nice video
Perfect video! Congratulations.
I didn't know action cams could do all this, I just cancelled my $50 white label cam from amazon. Getting the hero 6 instead!
I did the same - BH photo for 299.00
Good comparison video! You from the Rocket City?
Great Review man !
Your comparison videos are the best and learnable
Very good! Thanks!!

Appreciate the information all the equipment use do test in thanks new sub !!
Great video. this really convinced me to get the hero 6 and upgrade from my hero 4. very impressed with the hero 6 image stability
Very well done video. The differences of the gopro 5 and gopro 6 are enormous. Thanks for your great video.
Great video!
Matter of fact you earned a new sub here bro. Keep up the great videos dude.
Sweet thanks!
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke no problem
Great review! I may have to get the 6
Wow, your review did an amazing job of helping me see the differences
nice reviews
Thanks!
my next camera then :D nice video dude great job
Hero6 is amazing. Those colors, pixels, and stabilization are insane
Nice video Ben, how is the battery life on the Hero 6?
wow night and day difference! I use Canon 70D might switch to go pro hero 6 for daily vlogging! How do you rate Audio generally.. you had a comparison there but in general how does go pro audio fare?
Your voice activated my hero 5 recording twice while I was watching :)
unnecessary flex
wow this was so helpful! I feel like I am leaning more towards the 6
Such a good video! Thumbs up thx
Just purchased a hero 5 black. I will skip a generation and wait for the Gopro 7.
gp6 is now up-to-date techs inside! cant imagine what gp7 could have without price goes tothemoon
That's they maintain sounds quality in next generation.. Haha.. Its a Marketing trick
So
Will you buy it?
Thats comin dude
Thanks for this, even in 2021 it's proved a very informative and succinct review, so it was very helpful to me.
Excellent review!
thanks!
Thank you! Fantastic review. I shoot for a living and this is the information I was looking for. Nice job.
+Geoff Charters - sweet glad to hear it helped out
Good video mate
Great video. Thank you!
Awesome review
You always make the best comparison videos
Thanks man, I appreciate that
Great comparison review! Heads up - you forgot to add the link to your HERO 6 vs YI 4K+ comparison.
Thanks, I can't now :( (youtube tells me the "system will re-index the video" which hurts the video seo rank.. sadly I can't add now) Thanks anyway for the heads up
Here's the video, HERO 6 vs YI 4K+: ua-cam.com/video/jyl7pLEzXyk/v-deo.html
Excellente présentation , merci !
Thanks for the good comparison! I am (still) using a Hero 3 Black...still fine for me.
i really like your video compare, concise and detailed
Thanks so much!
Something is fishy at 4:28...
hi, i like your videos. very good. thank you for it. come gopro 6 vs Sony FDR X3000R up next time?
Thankss for the great detailed comparison, would have loved to see it tested out under water though!
New to the GoPro world and going to make a purchase soon. One big thing I'm looking forward to is quality still images. In your video the 6 takes stunning video, is that quality gap also in photos?
I was just about to purchase the Hero 5 but your video helped me go with the Hero 6. Great video and thanks.
+nicola morris Glad it helped
I have the HERO 6 and the stabilization on that thing is incredible !!
wow exellent video! Why do the colors look so different?
Nicely done.
I am new to the whole GoPro phenomenon. I will definately be getting the Hero 6. What editing software is everyone using? Accessory recommendations? What about sound quality? I will mostly be making videos of the grandkids.
Thanks.
I use FCPX
Thank you guys SO MUCH for watching - let me know what you want me to compare next!
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke iphone 8 vs salaxy s8 please
I prefer watching a comparision between "Gopro hero 6" and the "iPhone7" or "Iphone8" because iPhone's camera look like the actual place to me the most.
Can't wait to see. By the way, Why your Gopro hero 6 look less blue and less green than other UA-camr? Which is nice cuz I found so many Gp6 video look over blue and green.
From my research, I think there are some defect unit that the screen on the back show white as a bit green and the video color look over compensation.
Correct me If I'm wrong. Thank you so much:)
High expectations for comparison Yi vs Gopro 6 wowwwwwwwwwwwowwww wow
Can't wait for the comparaison of Yi 4k+ vs Go Pro Hero 6 !
Very nice video, as usual Ben!
Inexpensive Vs expensive?
Great video and good to know:)
Did gopro 6 have superview on 4k60?
Damn bro those are some nice houses! Where is that?
You compare the 5 without the IS ON, there is nothing to compare... You should have turn IS on Both camera
Lancelot Priet
What is that? A stabilizer?
I thought that this video was an
ad (upgade, upgrade, upgrade!!!)
5 cant do IS in 4k bud.
That was pretty slick, how much did you pay the fish for that splash ?
Best reviewer ever! Trims all the BS and gets to the point without wasting our time. Thank you very much!
+Sahan Serasinghe thank you!
Sweet slow mo shots, thanks for including in that RC car! Just subbed
Thanks for the watch and sub!
wowww great job man! thanks a lot...
The best comparison video on the net!
+Dominic Rawle - awesome thanks man
great review! helped a lot. what audio did you prefer (for voice/clarity) 5 or 6? is there an external mic available/can a windscreen or pop filter be added to existing mic? and does either have time lapse or is that an editing software thing...? Thanks!
Shooting with 6 now loved 5

Wow, huh, the 6 was SO expensive!? Oh my god...
Did you shoot video with both cameras same time?
Very nice comparison. Thank you.
Thank you
Thanks for making this video man. Found out 3 days ago that the Hero 6 cameo out and I had no idea. I think Ima buy it. If not then Ima wait for the next Hero 6 (if they do a silver edition or something) or I will wait for the Hero 7. They just need to work on the battery life and low light more I think.
So exited, just ordered the hero 6.

Great comparison video.. I use the hero 5 black on my Rc cars to shoot.
The low light footage on the gopro 6 looks greenish, doesn't it?
Hi @AuthenTech you are publishing so many reviews on gopro and action cameras so you will be having a wide variety of action cameras. Can you start some giveaways of the action cameras?
How's the audio for these? I need one for a concert and need it asap
So which one do YOU like better?! Is it worth the upgrade to YOU?!
Do you like the new, punchier, saturated colors and contrast? I personally kinda like it, less editing on my part, and the improved dynamic range, stabilization, new shooting frame-rates... I'm gonna keep it!
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke I always prefer more natural colors. The sky and sand look oversaturated on some of the Hero 6 shots.
Largamelion yes its way over saturated not natural.
I'm interested - does it actually have more dynamic range?! Have you run a test on dynamic range.
I am extremely surprised with the results of your review. Not sure whether you have watched any of the other reviews on UA-cam, but a common theme has been the Hero 6's clips and images for some reason look way darker than that of the Hero 5. So, I have to say I am very confused right now.

Lost my GoPro 4 silver yesterday canoeing down the river 🙈
i dont know why that im just subscribe bcs watch this video and next video... (hero6 vs yi4k)
btw great video sir !! keep it up !!
Liked for catching that fish jump! :)
Muito boa as explicações, congratulation.
Great Video as always! You are one of the few who like this new camera. It is not bad, but it still has the blocky GoPro look. I will stick with the Sony FDR-X3000. Better picture AND stabilization hands down.
Is the stabilization on the hero5 at 1080 just as good? Im trying to keep things under budget and I know that I will be shooting in 1080, but that EIS part is sweet!
Did you do any lens correction? I didn't see any fisheye effect on the 6's video
A problem with The 6 is that it has a lot of problems, at 1:08 to 1:22 if you look at the tree to the right in The 6 Part, you can see like a line that is blue coming off of The tree. That is why I would get The 5. This is just My opinion btw, everyone else has different opinions.
5 is better in the Audio
WildSplitscreenBoys dude You can hear all the wind in the 5 no??
On the shot of the geese in slo-mo the image starts to break up a lot on the wings. Is that just crappy UA-cam compression after the fact? Or are you getting those artifacts in the raw footage?
