GoPro Hero 8 in 2025 — Still a Beast?

Is the GoPro Hero 8 still worth it in 2025? Can an action cam from 2019 keep up today? Let’s talk vlogging setups, mods, audio hacks, and why I’m STILL using this little beast.

The GoPro Hero 8 Black might be aging—but with the right accessories, it still rips. In this video, I break down my full 2025 vlogging rig, including:

How I upgraded audio using the GoPro adapter

Why I 3D printed a custom mount (because... Hero 8 problems)

My $25 B&H gear steal

Using filters, cages, and a rechargeable selfie stick

And how I run a dual-cam setup on a budget

I also explain why I haven’t switched to the DJI Pocket 3 (yet) and why the Hero 8 still slaps for POV shots, time-lapses, and daily content creation.
