GoPro HERO8 will have a flip up screen and external mic port?

5 years 3 weeks ago #637477 by Tim Dordeck
GoPro must be feeling some more pressure in their market.  Now that Sony jumped back in with the RXO II, that has external mic port AND film up screen.  Not to mention a slew of other impressive features.  I wonder if GoPro HERO8 will have a flip up screen and external mic port? 

Care to leave your 2 cents?

Well I don't think this Sony camera is in the same market as GoPro.  GoPro's have a wide focal reach, so that means when someone bouncing and running the jittering isn't too bad.  If that was on the closer focal reach, that would be horrible.  The Sony isn't as wide, so more for travelers or slower moving targets.

I highly doubt it, these are still completely 2 different cameras and market segments.

Doubtful, but you never know.  GoPro is in a unique position where they really need to step up their game and soon.
