“The Hero 8 Black may lack a couple of features that you can get on its successor (namely, a front-facing screen and 5K video), but it's still a fantastic all-rounder that's compatible with GoPro's Mod accessories.”

The GoPro Hero 8 Black offers a cleaner, more convenient design with improved stabilization and a frameless body. However, it suffers from overheating during extended use, a fragile screen, and a non-removable front lens.
