## Stabilization

- **Off** (strength 0/3)
- **HyperSmooth 6.0** (strength 2/3)
- **HyperSmooth AutoBoost** (strength 3/3) — crops the image — Crops in only when shake demands it.
- **Horizon Lock** (strength 3/3) — up to 60 FPS — crops the image — Full horizon lock via Linear + Horizon Lock lens; not at high frame rates.

## Color profiles

- **Standard (10-bit)** — 10-bit
- **GP-Log** — 10-bit, log (for grading) — Flat log with GoPro LUTs for grading.

## Field of view

- **HyperView** — high distortion — Stretched 8:7 ultra-immersive POV.
- **SuperView** — high distortion
- **Wide** — medium distortion
- **Linear** — low distortion — Straight lines — best for talking/scenery.
- **Linear + Horizon Lock** — low distortion

## Exposure

- ISO range: 100–6400 (recommended ceilings — bright: 400, normal: 800, low light: 3200)
- Manual shutter: yes
- Aperture: fixed f/2.5
- Built-in ND: no

## Notable

- **HindSight** — Buffers up to 30 s before you press record so surprise moments are captured.
- **HB-series lens mods + ND filters** — Magnetic latch mount auto-detects Ultra Wide / Macro lens mods and ND4–ND32 filters.
- **HyperView FOV** — Uses the full 8:7 sensor for the most immersive POV look available.
- **8:7 full-sensor capture** — Shoot once, crop high-quality vertical and horizontal versions from the same clip.
- **GPS performance stickers** — GPS is back — overlay speed and path data on footage.

Strengths: Excellent HyperSmooth stabilization; 10-bit GP-Log; Magnetic mount + auto-detected ND/lens mods; 8:7 sensor for vertical reframing.
Weaknesses: Fixed focus and small sensor — weak in low light; Can overheat on long high-res clips in heat; Battery life modest at high resolutions.
