H8PRO Modified HERO8 Black Action Camera

Product Description
Shoot up to UHD 4K action video and also use external lenses using this H8PRO Modified HERO8 Black Action Camera from Back-Bone Gear. The camera features the full GoPro HERO8 Black action camera, but it adds a new C/CS-mount lens mount so you can utilize lenses and adapters to use DSLR, vintage, or cine lenses.
An M12 to C-mount adapter ring is also included to support M12 lenses. The H8PRO also includes a tripod adapter in addition to the original folding GoPro mount, which allows you to mount the camera directly on a tripod mounting screw. A custom Back-Bone case is included to store and protect the camera and its components.
The HERO8 Black internals feature updated HyperSmooth 2.0 stabilization to produce smooth, gimbal-like movement at all supported frame rates, without the need for a gimbal. Additional updates include a sleeker physical design with a "folding fingers" type base for fast mounting, a redesigned battery door for quicker battery changes, a lens with twice the impact resistance as the HERO7, an optional Battery Mod for nearly 2.5x more battery life, an optional flip-up Display Mod to make viewing your frame easier, an optional LED Light Mod, and an optional Media Mod to expand your accessory possibilities.
The HERO8 supports up to UHD 4K video resolutions, and time-lapse, up to 1080p240 slow motion, and super-slow-motion video. Still images can be captured in up to 12MP resolution in bursts of up to 30 images per second with the updated SuperPhoto with HDR support that helps reduce blur and enhance detail in low-light situations. It also features an updated Night-Lapse function to shoot and process up to 4K time-lapses at night. The LiveBurst function allows you to record 1.5 seconds before and after your photo to give you more choices for the best frame.
Like its predecessor, the HERO8 supports direct streaming to Facebook Live. It's also waterproof to 33', suiting it for surfing, snorkeling, and swimming activities. Separately available floats and housings are available separately for additional water support and even deeper underwater activities down to 196'. The touchscreen provides quick and easy management, but when your hands are full, the HERO8 understands 15 voice commands in over ten languages and accents so you can verbally control the HERO8. Just shout "GoPro, take a photo" and your HERO8 will use your current settings to snap a photo, making selfies a breeze.
