And the move to combine all video options, including ‘field of view’ and Protune manual controls, in one menu means it’s now much easier to quickly fine-tune your settings and get creative.

There are definite improvements: the new ‘short clips’ button, which lets you limit recordings to 15 or 30 seconds, is handy if you want to hand your GoPro to someone else without worrying that it’ll come back with a memory card full of accidental rucksack shots. I’m a little in two minds about these changes. If the hardware is reassuringly familiar (or disappointingly unchanged, depending on your previous experience), there have at least been some tweaks to the Hero 7 Black’s software menus.

And on the sides you’ll find the usual, occasionally frustrating buttons for starting recordings and turning it on or off. There’s a two-inch touchscreen on the back, which has a slightly yellowy cast compared to the Hero 6’s display, but is otherwise bright and sharp enough for quick previews of your shots. Otherwise, it’s business as usual, with a rubberised (if slightly less grippy) finish and waterproofing down to ten metres. The only other major hardware change is a redesigned microphone membrane, which GoPro’s tweaked to improve overall sound quality (more on that later) and reduce vibration sounds from bone-shaking moments like mountain biking. Still, at least GoPro has changed the colour this time, from the traditional grey to black for this flagship model. The Hero 7 Black will look very familiar to anyone who’s used the previous two flagship Hero models – perhaps too familiar, if you were hoping for a redesign. But since the latter costs a lot more cash, the GoPro Hero 7 may well retain the accolade as our top recommended option. This isn’t the latest action camera in the series though, as GoPro has since launched the GoPro Hero 8.

The GoPro Hero 7 Black is a pocketable, waterproof 4K camera with class-leading electronic image stabilisation and a huge range of mounting accessories. The GoPro Hero 7 Black will remain on sale as part of GoPro’s 2019 lineup – it remains a great action camera at its new £319 price, so read on to find out why… What is the GoPro Hero 7 Black? Or to see how it compares with this one, read our GoPro Hero 8 Black vs Hero 7 Black comparison. To see our verdict on that new flagship, check out our full GoPro Hero 8 Black review. Editor’s note (1/10/19): GoPro has released the new Hero 8 Black, which is the successor to this action camera.
