Anyone aware of the actual specs for this, specifically in stops; what's the dynamic range of the Hero 7 Black's sensor?
I can't find any meaningful tech data anywhere.
TIA

Unfortunately, we don't have that information regarding the sensor capability.
Thanks!

Useful dynamic range is much more complex that a simple number, if that is what you were hoping to hear.
Such as XX F-Stops.
To then compare to some other device with a similar claim.

As a potential customer with a legitimate enquiry about the new cameras capabilities I’d expect someone to have hands on those specs. To claim not to know at all is frankly ridiculous imo.

@spazwinchester - I guess it's the same Sony sensor as in the Hero6.
This is called Sony IMX277.
"12MP 44fps max @ full res, 1/2.3, 1.55 pixel size, SLVS-EC 8Lane" BI, DOL-HDR
BI DOL-HDR = Back-illuminated CMOS Image Sensor Digital Over-Lap High Dynamic Range technology

In the pas the Sony SONY IMX117 sensor was found in the Hero3, 3+, 4 and 5!
