According to the market buzz, this is a BIG step up for the Go Pro. How big? Let's find out in this buying guide.
Download the free Go Pro and Quik mobile apps and take advantage of QuikStories, where you can send footage to your phone and let the app automatically edit it into the breath-taking video. Much of the buzz around the Hero6 Black is around this feature.
Much of Go Pro's "big step up" has to do with 4K60 and 1080p240 video, capable of delivering twice the performance of its predecessors.
The Go Pro Hero 6 Black also promises the best image quality ever, thanks to a brand new GP1 chip which has been optimised with this Go Pro model in mind.
Smooth, stable footage really enhances the viewing experience, and the Go Pro Hero 6 Black delivers there as well, with what they call their most advanced video stabilisation yet.
With 5 GHz Wi-Fi, copying video and photos to your phone is a much faster experience: 3 x faster offload speeds to be precise.
Another improvement in the Hero 6 Black is enhanced image quality for both video and photos in low-light.
These upgraded and updated features are housed in a tough and strong body. As a Go Pro is often used in and around water, you'll be pleased to know the Hero 6 Black is waterproof up to 10 metres.

I require a action camera to film skydiving activities. After extensive research the go pro6 came up the best but the then price of ￡499 was off putting but the day after reduced to ￡399 so it was a no brainier. Image stability is amazing Video quality and sharpness does everything I need and more.
Love it. Great picture/video! Definitely do not regret this purchase.
Easy to Use
"Have mostly used the go pro hero 6 as a biking camera. Got some great shots in Wales and Lake District so far. Service was fast efficient and haven't got any bad words to say about it. "
Contacted go pro after the back screen on our go pro 6, bought two weeks ago and never used, wouldn't turn on. Followed the website instructions for updating firmware, formatting SD card, etc.
New to GoPro, purchased GoPro6 quick delivery, saved $73 from retail prices. I wasn't aware that the memory card didn't come with it. Must have accessories 1. Memory card 2. Dual battery charger set. I also got 3-way DVC & float handle. Slowly build on getting more accessories.
My Gopro life
It's safe to say the Hero6 Black is the best action cam GoPro has made. That doesn't necessarily mean it's the right one for you though. The new shooting modes are excellent, particularly if you're shooting for the big screen or have a penchant for dramatic slo-mos. But they don't come completely without cost. You'll need some recent laptop or smartphone hardware to edit the clips and they do take a bigger toll on battery life than full HD shooting. Even if you don't need to shoot reels of 4K, though, the Hero6's improved image stabilisation, dynamic range and low light capabilities make it a tempting proposition over the cheaper Hero5. If you want the absolute best action cam around, and are prepared to pay the £100 premium over its competition, this is it.
Superb video quality; Image stabilisation works really well; Loads of mounts and accessories; Auto-editing software is useful ;
Some potential codec frustration; Battery life quite short when shooting 4K; Doesn't support Bluetooth mics;

GoPro has been the leader on action cameras from the very beginning, and its brand has attained a kind of Xerox-like omnipotence - despite the company's ongoing struggles in recent years.
A more expensive action camera with gorgeous slow motion.
The slow motion is insane; as is the dynamic range
A couple of irritating bugs and so so mic quality
