Thanks so much for the video..😁🤗 my husband just surprised me with the hero7 black..we’re planning on going to the big island of Hawaii for 4 wks in 2022..this gives me almost a year to learn this amazing little camera..😁🤗👍🏻
Nice comparison! I saw quite the same differences when I tried it during a karting session: yes, hypersmooth is great but not awesome but colors are really better.
Hi, I jjust got a Hero 7 Black and am taking it on a dive trip to the Red Sea. I have also gotten a Red filter for my Super Suit housing (a set of Flip Filters is definitely on my Xmas list!!) I have read in some of the Hero 6/7 blogs that with the new Hero 6/ 7 with the improved Auto White Balance, and the addition of Global Tone Mapping, that a Red filter is no longer required! If I use the Red filter will it have any adverse effect on my videos?
Also I am new to using the GoPro. What settings/ advanced settings - ProColor etc, would you suggest? Great videos. Cheers Mick
Do I need a special filter lens when shooting in murky water? I took the Go Pro 2 with me to Hawaii and it did not do well at all. Outside of the super suit and the selfie stick, what other accessories do you recommend purchasing to go with the Hero 7?
The camera is only waterproof to 30 feet. We always recommend using a housing for reduced wear and tear and less chance of damage to your camera, plus the ability to mount Flip Filters.
If you don't want to damage your camera in the water then you should definitely use the dive housing. Using the camera in the water without a housing will definitely add to the wear and tear faster than topside use.
It depends on the conditions you are diving in. For most blue water conditions, these are the only filters you'll ever need: www.backscatter.com/FLIP7-Three-Filter-Kit-with-SHALLOW-DIVE-DEEP-Filters-for-GoPro-3-3-4-5-6-7
One gripe I've heard is the wifi disabling or having issues for monitoring on a phone while shooting underwater, but I figure you're going to be going off the GP screen in that case, anyway, correct?
Thanks for a great video! About the limitation if you like to do some underwater macro photography which I plan to do in Indonesia with this camera, housing and a Polarpro switchblade (with macrolens) which I just bought for this purpose: So I understand the only way is to set the zoom before diving and not change mode or switch the camera off during the dive, right? If so that’s really annoying.... (@Gopro: where can I complain ?? 🤨)
Hi can i check if the hero 7 black is possible to like a 15 seconds shoot into a video and after 15 sec it will record it in another video again? Does it have this function somewhere along this line
This video was captured in full auto mode. No ProTune settings were used. Give us a call or send us an email and we'll be happy to help you get your best settings sorted out.
If this review talks about the benefits of a camera, why not say anything about its battery capacity? As it is one of the most important things while diving ...
Cool review! To me the Hero 7 is only marginally better than the Hero 6 when it comes to underwater filming, especially now seeing the side by side comparison. People focus too much on the tech. I’d take any day a movie with a cool epic storyline shot on literally anything than a daft movie with eye candy all over. I don’t see the inability to change the FOV to ‘narrow’ as a big deal. It’s only digital zoom. Same as zooming in post, if you’re a good filmmaker that’s not gonna be the lacking feature that throws you off. My pledge to the filmmakers out there - focus on the storytelling people, not the colour grading! Too few videos out there that really touch the soul!
@@backscatteruw OMG, Legend! However, I am using underwater high intensity LED lights and scene are not dark at all, wondering how much light it will require, anyway thanks a lot. I will try a few trials with "Auto Low Light" turned off.
Is the go pro 7 waterproof for sea water? I had one and took it snorkelling I definitely was not going below 10ms and it crapped out on me. It's since been replaced by go pro but now I am scared to go back in the water with it without a case
Hi I have and issue My gopro 5 shows a black mark on the screen starting at 18 to 20 mts. This means the cover is touching the screen, is normal I don’t go more deep than 22 mts because of this, any solution?
My biggest question I can’t find an answer to is my view screen goes off after a short period of time underwater like 1 min!!! I can’t find anywhere in the settings to set this so the view screen stays on!! Please help!!!
Typical underwater photography requires a white balance at depth after you've added a filter. How does the Hero 7 Black do when adding a filter after not having one? How do you reset the white balance?
The Hero 7 Black is my first go pro. I have the super suit and red lens. I'm going diving in Mexico next week. Can I switch from hyperlapse to regular speed while under water? Most of the dive is getting to a subject so I want to speed up the swimming part and slow down at a subject. Can software do this later?
I dont have a gopro but I know you can speed up footage in most video editing programs. I use Adobe Premiere and am able to speed specific footage up or even slow it down.
Buy the way: i just tested the camera within the super suit housing in a swimming pool and I hear a strange contineous sound on the video like if you can hear the ‘cameramotor’ pretty loud during the whole video. I never heard that with a Hero 4 silver in a dive house. Does anybody experienced the same issue and/or Is that normal with the Hero 7 Black in combination with the super suit housing?
Is there a underwater case for the siver one? Cause i wanna use it in Indonesie to snorkel but the black version is like 80 Euro over the price of the siver one?
The field of view captured by the camera is pretty much as wide as you can go. There is really no way to achieve zoom when the camera is in the housing unless narrowing the field of view. There are domes for shooting split shots and things like that. Feel free to give us a call or send us an email and we can go into more detail with you.
Significantly shakier than if the camera is mounted on a double handle tray held with two hands. The Hero 10 offers significantly better in-camera stabilization than the Hero 7, but even so we still recommend mounting it on a tray: www.backscatter.com/Backscatter-Wide-Double-Handle-Tray-Arch-Package
Sorry to hear about that! You can reach out to us any time and we will be happy to replace it for you. Give us a call or email us at sales@backscatter.com and we will get it taken care of!
i wonder if the camera would break at like 50 feet. thats how deep i go when freediving so if it survives that, i don't need that expensive super suit.
gbthrylos more as a precautionary measure, I’ve had bad experiences without one so just air on the side of caution. A $50 attachment seems expensive now, but it’s a lot better than a $400 camera because GoPro dosent cover that kind of damage
juan karlos I think so.. I don’t have a GoPro but that’s what I’ve heard.. I would look it up to make sure though cause I don’t want to responsible for your cameras’ death 😂
The store where I bought it gave me a new one. They said if this one brakes, to conntact Go Pro directly. I will not take it into the ocean again, I don't trust it anymore.
Hey Backscatter, this video rocked! Thank you for always delivering superb content. This video actually propelled us to buy the camera! We just shot an underwater video of me reading a book! Please check it out and let us know what you think!

Really professional tutorial!
I’m subscribing!
Can’t wait to start filming underwater.
4:40 I like how you gave many examples
My girlfriend and I are using a 5 and 7 to snorkel in Guam and the image difference is pretty significant. Highly recommend upgrading
Nice comparison! I saw quite the same differences when I tried it during a karting session: yes, hypersmooth is great but not awesome but colors are really better.
Your the best who explained to me all about diving with GoPro 7 :)
Thanks
Please do a review for DJI Osmo Action. Or better still an UW side by side comparison. Thanks
Best gopro review ever. Thanks for sharing 👌
Watch my new GOPRO HERO 7 video --> th-cam.com/video/cg_yStJCl9E/w-d-xo.html
Explaining is to the POINT! TY.
Hey, when are you launching flip 7? I've been waiting a lot to buy it.
thanks for the tip about buying super suit housing ^^

Is it good for seasalt water? Thanks
how do you make your camera not fogging... mine always fogging when shooting underwater... make my footage looks blur...
Try putting Silica gel packet inside your camera housing.
Hope go pro can make a dual cam that can capture front and back views. At the same time and place. Pls reps sir
Do I need a special filter lens when shooting in murky water? I took the Go Pro 2 with me to Hawaii and it did not do well at all. Outside of the super suit and the selfie stick, what other accessories do you recommend purchasing to go with the Hero 7?
So is the GoPro hero 7 black waterproof without needing a case?? Or do I need a waterproof case to take it underwater
The camera is only waterproof to 30 feet. We always recommend using a housing for reduced wear and tear and less chance of damage to your camera, plus the ability to mount Flip Filters.
Is a stick important or is it as good as with only the hand? For diving
We prefer a Double Handle Tray: www.backscatter.com/Flip-Filters-Double-Handle-Tray
Do you need the water case to go in water? I am going snorkeling and want to make sure I don’t damage my camera
If you don't want to damage your camera in the water then you should definitely use the dive housing. Using the camera in the water without a housing will definitely add to the wear and tear faster than topside use.
Is a filter needed for spearfishing? I don't go any lower then 5 meters
Can you use the standard go pro filters for diving with the super suit?
@Susan Conner If you have a GoPro 5 or 6, you can use all accessories with the new GoPro 7. This is a real advantage.
I think no. Indeed, filters for super suit are not the same and you clip them directly on the super suit.
How do you feel about the Gopro 8 and 9? I do all my video in 40-60ft of ocean diving and can't decide between the 7,8 or 9.
They are all great options, with each newer model offering more stability than the last.
Very good video!
Noob question here... what colour filters should I use underwater?
It depends on the conditions you are diving in. For most blue water conditions, these are the only filters you'll ever need: www.backscatter.com/FLIP7-Three-Filter-Kit-with-SHALLOW-DIVE-DEEP-Filters-for-GoPro-3-3-4-5-6-7
Does the silver 7 is waterproof without cass
Aussie Boys yes every gopro since the hero 5 are water proof without the case.
Lamp Vibes thnks
I also have a 3d printer / can you post a link for the tool you made to remove the lens - thanks so much and great informative video 👍
www.backscatter.com/Flip-Filters-Lens-Removal-Tool-GoPro-HERO5-HERO6
Is the underwater housing from gopro hero 4 silver compatible for gopro hero 7 black (to use for scuba diving)?
How much the price?
would you still use the waterproof case?
Most definitely
One gripe I've heard is the wifi disabling or having issues for monitoring on a phone while shooting underwater, but I figure you're going to be going off the GP screen in that case, anyway, correct?
That is correct. Can't really use a phone as a monitor when underwater :)

Maybe it is time to buy a real camera...
I only snorkel.. so white/sliver is fine for me..right?
Hi can i check if the hero 7 black is possible to like a 15 seconds shoot into a video and after 15 sec it will record it in another video again? Does it have this function somewhere along this line
Any reason my 7 black changes from pictures to video as soon as it hits the water in our pool?
Hey...I've been on that beach!!! :)
Cool
Cool
How much for hero 7?
Nice video...my kids are very exiteted to see you where in san Carlos beach monterey thats one of our favorite spots
Hey guys, If you are shooting underwater what do you think it's the best gear that can be used with the camera to record while swimming? Thanks !
did you use protune? if yes, what settings you used, im going to indonesia soon and want to film too!

How much is the price of this camera With a red filter
If this review talks about the benefits of a camera, why not say anything about its battery capacity? As it is one of the most important things while diving ...
You forgot a very important point, battery??? how long you can shoot under wateeer
How it can mount to a bike front or rear? in the helmet? how long the battery runs?

Helpful review more helpful if u could mention the price in Asia
Just wondering if you know. Why GoPro hero black 7 does gives only 30 FPS underwater even set to 60 FPS?
It's because you have Auto Low Light turned on. That setting will limit FPS if the scene is too dark.

Typical underwater photography requires a white balance at depth after you've added a filter. How does the Hero 7 Black do when adding a filter after not having one? How do you reset the white balance?
White balance is always automatic on the GoPro. It adjust very well and quickly when adding a filter.

Nope. GoPro only made housings for the Black version.
@@backscatteruw okay, Thank you very much
very nice break down. Gracias.
Where can i get a glass red light filter for the hero 7?
Was wondering, is there an extra wide lens zoom you can add to the "super suit" for UW action ? Does that even exist ?
The field of view captured by the camera is pretty much as wide as you can go. There is really no way to achieve zoom when the camera is in the housing unless narrowing the field of view. There are domes for shooting split shots and things like that. Feel free to give us a call or send us an email and we can go into more detail with you.
My gopro Hero 7 black has tiny holes everywhere it is probelly for the mic but i’m scared that ther is coming water in is it normal?
the mics have waterproof membranes
GrenlandUnderVann thx for your answer
Can the frame of the gopro 7 go underwater. (the frame it comes with)
Sure it can, but it's not going to do anything for the camera besides hold it.
How shaky would the footage from your action camera if you held it with your hands and strapped to my hand.
Significantly shakier than if the camera is mounted on a double handle tray held with two hands. The Hero 10 offers significantly better in-camera stabilization than the Hero 7, but even so we still recommend mounting it on a tray: www.backscatter.com/Backscatter-Wide-Double-Handle-Tray-Arch-Package
On your website I only can find the flip filter with one filter... Where do I find the model with 2 filters?
Is it possible to change the filters?
Guys only the Black edition has ultra smooth stabilization
What about underwater test without case? It is possible to use camera without case?
I bought a micromate mini for my dive trip and the lens fogged up from the inside and will not unfog itself. Ruined my trip.

Damn bro
Nice video ❤️ it!!
1:01 his face lmao
I can be a dork for sure
If using the Hero 7 Black underwater in shallow salt water (at beach) is super suit housing required ?
Yes, not because of the water as much but because of the sand/salt
Chris Hanson That’s surprising because it doesn’t say that in the specs . Are you saying it’s required as a precautionary measure ?
He is what Go Pro suggest:
gopro.com/help/articles/block/how-to-clean-your-gopro-camera
gbthrylos more as a precautionary measure, I’ve had bad experiences without one so just air on the side of caution. A $50 attachment seems expensive now, but it’s a lot better than a $400 camera because GoPro dosent cover that kind of damage
Chris Hanson ok thanks Chris
Would been nice to see 422 10bit colour space in video mode possibly with a log setting
Can I swim also whitout a super suit housing for just in a pool
Wiesje Van loon yes u can it is waterproof to a depth of 10m with no waterproof housing
Love the video
NICE ON
Without super suit this is not water proof?
juan karlos it is.. but up to 10meters/ 33 feet
