Cameras New Releases Videography By Nick / 14th October 2016 Share Tweet Pin Share First Impressions on the New Hero Camera from Go Pro, the HD Hero 5 Black (Video)Having used Go Pro video cameras from the beginning of time, I wanted to test the Go Pro Hero 5. Test it for a couple of its latest, and most anticipated features…namely:check Built in image stabiliser (digital)check Voice Controlcheck Linear video mode (no distortion)I simply used my existing car suction mount to attach it to the window of my car. I then went for a drive filming from both inside the car and from the car bonnet. This was to check the wind noise using the updated 3 microphone, stereo sound input.Watch the video below to see my initial thoughts on:check How the camera operatescheck If the voice control works wellcheck The stability of the footagecheck To see the image quality at both 2.7K and 4K when both output to 2.7KYou can also see how well the new linear view mode works which eliminates any distortion. This is a huge reason why I bought this camera. However, bear in mind that Linear View is only available up to 2.7K as filming in 4K would leave no room for correction.
