Great video Mikael. I understand you're shooting in 2.7k for comparison reasons, but have you played around with the 4K 60 a bit? I've noticed it's much easier to color grade and retains the colors a lot more. Keep up the great videos
@aroutz2
Great comparison. Just what I needed. Thank you.
@justdad53
I thought I might learn something and I did. I am glad you sorted through the differences because to me it was differences without a distinction for the occasional vlogger.
@Robtorre9
As always very detailed. Nice video, thanks.
@ttrguy9952
Awesome video as usual Mikael! KEEP UP THE GREAT jOB!!!!
@ttrguy9952
Your videos are awesome man!
@twincamthom6883
just took my Hero 7 to The Tail of the Dragon, the time warp I recorded came out amazingly smooth. great camera!
@jetstream01
Fantastic video...I love how you listed all the components you were using. If you watch my on board footage, I use a 3 axis gimbal with a Hero 4+ Black and I have a HUGE problem with stabilization. It can't be corrected in post either (I've tried everything). It looks like the 6 vs 7 there really isn't that big of a difference, but I think you failed to mention the biggest thing about the 7...that it can stabilize 4k60 video, which makes it worth getting I thing. I may have to pick up that mic btw. Great video thanks for making it!
@Majesenmoto
thanks for the review! as I see... Hero7 is a hero 6 with +3contrast, -1Sharpen. I'm sorry but i will stick to my hero 4 silver with a simple jack adapter.
@BZsTax
Again, such great content! I would be interested to see what difference it makes in a helmet mount POV environment. How is the hero 7 performing at night time riding in major cities? Have you ever tried using your main camera (GH 5 or whatever) on a chest mount in such a low-light situation? I've never seen low light motorcycle content which comes close to how one experiences it by themselves.
@tgwoclan661
Omg im sharing this video everywhere. Honestly this is the best review ever also its 60 fps xD thank you so much
@bernhtp
Thanks for the great review. I ultimately went with the Sony FDR X3000 due to its optical stabilization (better than digital) and generally better optics and processing. I use it with the underwater case for full waterproofing. Helmet mounting has been my bane along with audio. The mount issue is that my normal (non-track) helmet is a Schuberth C4 modular. If you want a side mount, you must choose between behind the flip-up divider line and in front. When you choose behind, you need to extend the camera far to the side of the helmet so that its front is not within the (wide-angle) view. It looks bad and produces side aerodynamic drag. When in front, the camera weight knocks the chin section down when flipped up. This also makes mic hookup more difficult. I ended up with a top mount. The only problem here is that the view angle is too high and you get none of the bike console. Also, the drag gets bad when going fast (over 120mph). I have a wired mic into the helmet (just above/back of right cheekbone) for motovlogging but have an unacceptable level of wind noise as speeds climb. I use a Sony mic with wind-foam on, but am looking for a better solution. I notice here that you only record exterior bike sounds and not your own (real-time) voice. Do you ever set up for the latter? I'm looking for a better audio solution. BTW, the C4 has built-in mic/speakers and Bluetooth, but it's not feasible to make these work with the action cam.
@Joost.
Came for the gopro, stayed for the motorcycling and engine sound! ;)
@EstebanFonsecaAR
When attaching the gopro directly to the bike you could try one of those vibration absorbers used on drones to avoid the jello effect...
@kruisr7449
The biggest disadvantage is the audio adapter you have to use to connect an external microphone. This adapter already has half the size of the Hero 7. For mounting on a motorcycle helmet a No Go. Then it becomes just a Yi 4K+. Too bad. The Hypersmooth function sounded interesting.
@GareyCooperdude
Well thought out group of tests....may I ask where you had the Wenpod gimbal mounted? It looked as if it was mounted on the gas tank? I am curious how it would be if it were mounted on a chest mount? Also, I didn't think any of the "LUT" files looked good.
@jetstream01
Would you mind posting a link to the exact mic you used? I found several different Rode Lavaliers.
@JockeSelin
Thank you very much!
@Melodic_wind.12
I was wondering if you were going to make a video about this. Thanks for the information!
