Looks like for FPV use this could be the first big step in improvements for GoPro. I can see the appeal of its new stabilization for many that don't want to go full gimbal on their planes and to some degree their mini quads.

I picked the Casey Neistat review because Loopdreams loves him so much :)

But still the comparisons he shows are pretty good as well.

The only problem I have with using a GoPro is that their gear is soooo expensive it turns FPV into a nerve-wracking experience ... I was pissed enough that I lost my Mobius at a mere £60, I can't imagine the rage i'd feel if I smashed up a £300+ camera due to a silly mistake.

Having said that the footage you get from them is fantastic.

Does look pretty slick in the hands of the right people.

I don't hate him, it's just that he reminds me of everything that's wrong with the world.

Looks a decent camera, though.

First ever drift mini quad chase I actually enjoyed watching, what a difference !

It is a lot of money, but if that's not an issue normally I can see the point in the upgrade to the 7.

I've just sold my old hero 4 black, with the intention of getting one of these.  I was nearly tempted to go for the hero 6, but decided to wait.

Duct Tape and a Hammer.  A cure for all known mechanical problems.

How have you found the 7 Black ? From the demo videos the stabilization is perfect for FPV videos.
