One problem that has been pointed out with regards to the camera’s timelapse functionality is that that processing the footage captured during the recording session is a bit more cumbersome compared to previous devices like the GoPro Hero 4 Silver or Black, as the user has to import the images into a video software program, and then convert and export.
In previous devices, the video could be processed directly on the camera, without having to work with an image sequence. Now the user has to go through one extra step, and this might be a bit disappointing – or even annoying – to some.
All in all, the general consensus seems to be that it’s a solid camera, but a bit overpriced. The $399 price tag might have been a poorly thought-out move from GoPro, and the company should probably look to adjust the device’s position on the market if they want to get more attention for it.
Because it actually does have a solid potential and can enjoy a lot of recognition if it’s tweaked a little, but that’s a task for a new device. For the current one, the company can only look to lower the price if they want to improve their situation on the market and get better recognition in reviews.
