GoPro Hero10 Black

UI is speedier than ever thanks to the GP2 processor ; Higher fps rates across the board ; HyperSmooth 4.0 stabilisation is a technological marvel ; Eye-catching footage

Struggles in low light ; Very steep price tag

If you can contend with its painfully high price tag, then the GoPro Hero 10 is the most hassle-free action camera to date. The device itself can capture stunning footage that’s always stable thanks to HyperSmooth 4.0, and the accompanying GoPro Quik...

Snappier menus and interface ; Powerful GP2 processor ; New 4K/120p mode is fun ; Class-leading stabilization

Same small sensor ; Still not a low-light king ; Budget rivals offer better value

The GoPro Hero 11 Black may have taken its flagship status, but the Hero 10 Black arguably offers better value for most people. If you don't need the vertical video and 10-bit recording offered by the Hero 11 Black, this offers most of the same...

Maximum frame rates doubled in most resolutions ; Menus are much easier to navigate ; HyperSmooth is better than ever ; Hydrophobic lens coating actually works

Same bulky chassis as the Hero 9 ; Prone to overheat at higher settings ; Battery life could be improved ; App connection is finicky on Android

GoPro hasn't broken much new ground with the Hero 10, instead choosing to build on all of the aspects that made the Hero 9 so good. This collection of improvements adds up to create the best GoPro experience to date. The image quality is the best...

Lag-free interface ; Fantastic slow-motion capture ; Improved upload/app experience

Mediocre battery life ; Low-light performance still not great ; Grain in HDR photos

Beefed up internals make the Hero 10 Black a nippy, powerful, polished action cam – and a slow-mo fiend

Long battery life Everything great about the Hero 10 External microphone for high-quality audio recording LED light for dark or backlit conditions Excellent value for money

Lack of control passthrough in Media Mod Not waterproof when fully assembled Minor software bugs

“The perfect portable and durable all-in-one camera kit for on-the-go video makers.”

5.3K capture at up to 60fps ; 120fps 4K for slow motion ; Class-leading video stabilization ; Front-facing color screen ; Waterproof without an add-on case ; Media Mod support ; Extended-run Enduro battery available as add-on ; Wi-Fi and USB transfer...

Included battery drains quickly ; Costs more when bought without a subscription ; Heat limits long-form recording

The GoPro Hero10 Black looks a lot like the Hero9, but rolls video with more pixels and double the frame rate, making it the company's best action camera yet.

5.3K 60fps and 4K 120fps Quicker photo and video capture Backward compatibility with Hero9 accessories

Pricey Mediocre battery life Low-light footage has both grain and smoothing

The Hero10 remains a great action camera because of its size, durability, and 5.3K 60fps abilities. There is simply no other camera this size that is this powerful, and if you currently own a Hero8 or older, the Hero10 will feel like a huge upgrade....

Easy to use hardware and software ; Robust services available, but not absolutely necessary ; Removable battery ; Top quality photo and video capture and features ; Front and back-facing displays

You'll want a powerful phone to edit 5K+ video ; Charging batteries via camera is slow ; Charging batteries requires open bay door

UI responsiveness much improved ; Competitive photo and video quality ; Works with last-gen accessories

Low-light performance still lacking ; Overheats with high-resolution filming ; Software connectivity can be flakey

The tenth time is a charm as far as GoPro's concerned. The GoPro Hero10 Black manages to outperform its predecessor and the competition in key areas. While it isn't as premium-looking as its nemesis, the DJI Action 2, its superior footage and more...
