GoPro Hero 2018 review: 7 smoother than previous editions and major upgrade

The new edition of the GoPro, the Hero7 Black, promises video as steady as a drone. Drone footage is as smooth as it gets, and now GoPro wants you to buy its new camera, saying the Hero7 Black edition is as smooth as a drone. What's missing, of course, is the added weight of the 3-axis gimbal that accompanies the drone and steadies the shot. The $399 Hero7 Black, out September 30, is the same tiny size as past GoPro cameras. Instead of using a gimbal, it uses software to steady the shot.
