Go pro hero 5 black disappointment.

So it's been released and the selling points are

4k at only 30fps. (I thought we were going to get 60fps)

Voice control that no one will use.

Cloud upload for $5 a month that no one will use.

Inbuilt imagine stabilisation that won't be as good as post editing stabilisation.

And no mention of the battery at all. Which most likely means it's junk. I mean, if it were good they would have mentioned it no?

Dunno about you but I'm disappointed. Seems loaded with gimmicks. I wanted 4k at 60fps and generally better optics and acoustics.

Well, you can always donate the money you were going to spend on it on others less fortunate... First world problems and all that jazz.

On a forum where we talk about high end computer components your rather pithy remark could be applied to just about any post.

I know it's hard to do but they have had ages. Been forever since they released a hero and everyone assumed for certain this would be 40k @ 60fps. (as last one was 30fps). There are dozens of competitors on the market now that already match these new specs (without the cloud gimmicks)

Everyone was saying gopro have waited so long that the specs of this had to bat it out of the park. And they haven't. It's just iPhone all over again. No actual tangible upgrades, just shiny marketing and features you don't actually want.
