When I attended the launch event of GoPro HERO10 Black I was quite surprised with all the functions and features announced, it seemed to me to be too much advertising. I got that impression maybe because I tested a GoPro for the first time in 2014, the HERO3 Black Edition; at the time, despite being very interesting and promising, it didn't interest me much, mainly because of my profile: homemade. 5j4nx
I had to test it out to make sure it was all true or not, and to my surprise, the new GoPro delivers much of what it promises.
Starting with the stabilization, in the demo video, a GoPro HERO10 Black was placed on a dog that, even running, generated videos without any kind of shake or sudden movements, everything was extremely smooth and natural. Without using an extra gimbal that has multiple ts to reduce shake, the camera does the job. by herself. This happens because of the GP2, the new processor that comes on board and is much more powerful than its predecessor, capable of running the image correction algorithm frame by frame, and the HyperSmooth 4.0, which makes the work done to smooth videos recorded in extremely hectic situations look like magic.
The camera is full of positive surprises, one or the other negative, it comes with numerous features and functions, but before mentioning every detail, we need to emphasize the commitment of the GoPro to reduce the damage done to the planet:
A GoPro is committed to using environmentally friendly, plastic-free packaging in all of its products. The HERO10 Black's packaging isn't even a packaging itself, but a durable, high-quality travel case designed to hold other GoPro mounts and accessories.
Design and Construction 672o26
The GoPro HERO10 Black is that product that just pick it up and you already feel like it's well built and will last a long time. It follows the same design as the HERO9 Black, same size, same measurements, same thing. The big news from the previous version was the 1.4-inch color LCD screen on the front that lets you fit into the scene when recording. vlogs, for example. There is no information about the resolution of the screens, neither the front nor the rear.
Also new is that the lens cap now uses anti-drop hydrophobic glass. You know when you're shooting something and a drop of water on the lens ruins the scene? So that won't happen anymore. Thank you, GoPro!
It's all sealed to protect the internal components from water and dust, making it a waterproof (up to 10 meters) action camera without wearing it. Cases or any extra accessories. Practicality for those who use it, a item less to buy or worry about: anyone who travels knows that anything less in the checklist it is always welcome.
There are 3 microphones with advanced wind noise reduction and it has a speaker so you can hear the audio of the videos and also for the audible warnings. There are also several accessories that you can attach; We'll talk about each one we've tested below. In fact, all accessories made for the HERO9 Black work on the HERO10 Black. Really good right?
Camera 2xzk
There are several improvements when compared to the previous GoPro. In addition to jumping from 20 MP to 23 MP in stills, it is now possible to record in 5.3K at 60fps, 4K at 120 fps and 2.7k at an incredible 240 fps. This means that the amount of frames per second was doubled in the 3 resolutions
See the main differences in the comparison table:
| GoPro HERO10 Black | GoPro HERO9 Black | |
| Processor | GP2 | GP1 |
| photo resolution | 23 SM | 20 SM |
| video resolutions | 5.3K60, 4K120 and 2.7K240 | 5.3K30, 4K60 and 2.7K120 |
| Video Stabilization | HyperSmooth 4.0 | HyperSmooth 3.0 |
The ISO can be changed between a minimum of 100 and a maximum of 3.200 (at night it can generate more grainy and noisy images). There is a way to control the sharpness and the saturation level, that is, there are numerous adjustments that the can make to adapt the product to the scenario he is in and create the result he expects.
Photo and video modes 6s1j5v
One of the novelties is the LTM (local tone mapping), which is now not exclusive to photos and is applied to videos as well. It basically analyzes the captured images and optimizes contrast in areas with less detail to produce better results in photos and now videos as well. LTM in video is powered by the GP2, which also enables 3D noise reduction (3DNR), which captures finer details and more realistic textures in your footage.
Photos 4l4d1l
Comparing to the previous model, which took photos with up to 20 MP, the HERO10 Black gained a slight upgrade in resolution and now produces photos with 23 MP, available for all modes: continuous shooting, night photo, SuperPhoto and RAW.
There's no official information about the sensor aperture, whether it's f/2,2 or how much it is, but what we do know is that the ISO can switch between a low of 100 and a high of 3.200. The shutter aperture is also configurable, being able to stay open for 1/2000 or even 30 seconds, and, of course, in automatic mode.
You can also choose from three lenses:
- Narrow: 27mm lens with narrow field of view and no fisheye effect
- Linear: Lens between 19 and 39 mm with wide field of view without fisheye effect
- Wide: Lens between 16 and 34 mm with wide field of view and fisheye effect
- Overview: 16mm lens with wider and higher field of view (only available for clips and in resolution below 5.3K)
The result of each of the modes is this:
It is also possible to choose the color mode, and I confess that between Neutral and Realistic there is quite a difference, but Realistic and Vibrant are practically the same.
This is an action camera, designed to record people playing sports and that's enough for us to understand that it won't be used at night. You can use it in low light situations, but you will get grain and noise. Changing the ISO and shutter to stay open 30 seconds and using a tripod you can take pictures like the one I did below, but ing, this is not a camera to use in low light situations.
Generally speaking, in bright environments you will be able to make excellent images capturing the colors and the details: the GoPro nailed it.
Videos 705x2e
Yes, we have here a tiny camera capable of recording in 5.3K at 60 frames per second with stabilization HyperSmooth 4.0 and up to 800x digital zoom capability.
We see this alphabet soup in the resolution and have no idea what they represent in practice. For you to understand how big the 5.3K resolution is, below is a comparison between the main video resolutions of the GoPro HERO10 Black:
All video resolutions the GoPro HERO10 Black s:
| Resolution | Frames per second |
| 1080P (Full HD) | 30, 60, 120, 240 FPS |
| 2.7K | 60, 120, 240 FPS |
| 4K | 24, 30, 60, 120 FPS |
| 5.3K | 30, 60 FPS |
During video recording, you can adjust the artificial sharpness of images and switch between low sharpness, medium sharpness and high sharpness
For those who want to record fast-paced or slow-motion videos, there are three recording modes to do this:
- Slow motion: at resolutions that accept 240FPS you can record at up to 10% of normal speed, followed by 120FPS with 20%, 60FPS with 40%, 30FPS with 80% and 24FPS with normal speed.
- Time Lapse: Accelerated recording mode for when the camera is stopped taking several pictures with time intervals. Accepts intervals from 0,5 seconds up to 60 minutes.
- Time Warp ( Hyperlapse): another accelerated video mode. It allows you to create videos accelerated up to 30x (that is, a 5 minute video is only 10 seconds long). This mode becomes more interesting as it uses the camera's electronic stabilization to adjust the image and create smooth, blur-free videos.
It is worth mentioning that, for each of the modes, you can adjust resolution (to a maximum of 4K for the Time Warp), switch between Superview, Wide, Linear or Linear lenses with horizon leveling [allows you to move the camera up to 45º that the software can keep level] and narrow with 27mm which is without the fisheye effect), PROTUNE, ISO , Color, Sharpness, Timer and more.
Finally, you can still use your GoPro (from HERO8) as a Full-HD webcam at 30 frames per second and no audio; you would need an extra microphone.
The videos produced are vivid, the colors are perfect and in environments with light and dark tones you can have details of both without bursting in the light or being too grainy in the dark points. When compared to images produced by previous cameras, the difference is startling. At whatever resolution you shoot, the images will be sharp and detailed. It records at a rate of bits relatively high: 60 megabit per second.
Hypersmooth 55012
HyperSmooth 4.0 deserves its own space as it is so amazing. Born in the GoPro HERO7 Black, the manufacturer reports that the feature “offers gimbal-like stabilization to create even smoother video captures" through "Advanced scene analysis and roller shutter correction algorithm, the camera is able to proactively look at how motion is happening frame by frame and adjust the correction to make the video super smooth. This is achieved by increasing the camera's processing memory (not to be confused with SD card recording memory). We use an advanced shutter correction algorithm."
The feature is really impressive and the result is unbelievable. Videos are extremely stable and smooth. I ran down a dirt hill recording and in the recording there was no shake at all. The stabilization offers horizon leveling with a tilt limit of up to 45 degrees and also works in live recordings, worth mentioning.
When shooting at 5.3K, there are only 3 stabilization modes: turbo, default and off, high mode is not available. Unfortunately this all comes at a price: energy consumption. When active, the electronic stabilization added to the algorithm (which uses processing) analyzing frame by frame increases power consumption and the battery, which no longer works miracles, is drained faster.
Performance and Screen 6r3p6k
Perhaps the biggest update is here: the GP2 processor. Since HERO6 Black, released in 2017, we had no update on the processor made by the company itself. GoPro.
Among the highlights provided by the processor are:
- More fluid navigation with few crashes (very few)
- higher resolutions
- 2x faster frame rates
- Superior image quality
- Provides HyperSmooth 4.0 video stabilization
- Improved video algorithms with local tone mapping (LTM) and 3D noise reduction (3DNR) that capture finer details, more realistic textures and better contrast
There's not much to say about the screen. She fulfills her role, the rear is touch, the screen on the front helps frame selfies and vlogs and it's more intuitive than the previous screens, even if it doesn't allow you to control anything through it, since it's not touch.
Battery 554u5p
It's the Achilles heel. So far it's only praise, but the battery leaves a lot to be desired. Starting with the imprecision when informing the remaining percentage. Apparently there's been a software issue since launch that causes the battery remaining value to change depending on which mode you're in. In our test, when changing from photo mode to video mode, the value changed.
We also noticed that while we were doing a Time Warp in Full-HD, the video was terminated due to lack of battery. However, when turning on the camera we noticed that the viewfinder said it had 9% still. This issue has been reported by other s, so it may be that GoPro will fix it soon.
Using the viewer on the smartphone and having the GPS active helps to drain the battery faster and in our tests it contributed a lot to the camera heating, something that is already common in previous models and even in other devices: wireless data synchronization is very demanding effort and use of resources, so there's not much to avoid.
An extra battery can help you to record situations where you wouldn't be able, and wouldn't have time, to put the battery to charge. One extra battery on the website GoPro It costs almost R$ 300,00. Another option is to use an external battery to charge, and you can use it while charging, but then you lose water resistance as the protective cover is left open.
And then you could buy this dual battery charger that is currently costing R$ 679,00 on the GoPro website:
Accessories and modules 2h4q2a
If you too grew up playing Lego, you will feel fulfilled. THE GoPro offers various accessories that you “assemble” to gain extra features or improve what she already has. The list of accessories of GoPro is immense, from vests to attach the camera to the dog, to cases, lens filters, brackets, tripods, adapters, selfie sticks and everything you can imagine.
We tested some of them aimed at those who make vlogs, see below:
3-Way 2.0 2l593
A GoPro classifies it as “An ergonomic camera grip that transforms into a tripod and extension arm for selfies or follow-cam captures."
Really, all its adjustments give us versatility to position the camera in many different ways. At first you may have a little difficulty handling it, but then you get used to it.
It measures 49,53 cm when fully open and retracts up to 20,32 cm. It is useful, but as a tripod it can be quite small.
No website GoPro the 3-Way 2.0 is sold for USD 69,99.
Max Lens Module for the HERO9 Black 35516c
Below are the main features of the Max lens:
- Max Hypersmooth for unparalleled video stabilization at up to 2,7K60
- Field of vision (FOV) ultra-wide of 155 for enhanced perspective and better depth of field
- Horizon lock keeps your videos on the horizontal or vertical axis, even if the camera is mounted off-center or rotated 360°
- Max Time Warp to provide the highest level of stability ever offered in TimeWarp videos
- Waterproof to a depth of 5m when installed on a HERO camera.
- Easy, tool-less installation and removal
Here's an example of an image taken with this lens in wide lens mode:
Front screen of the display module for cameras 50e56

It uses micro HDMI input, that is: you need to have the media module to connect the camera (and also to dock it). THE GoPro, as usual, does not inform the resolution or the number of inches of the screen, only that it is 5 centimeters.
There's an internal battery so you don't have to drain the camera's already limited battery, and there's no information about capacity or duration either. You can charge it using a USB-C cable and it connects to the HERO10 Black, HERO9 Black and HERO8 Black via the media module. I tested it on a GoPro Hero4 Black (which has a micro HDMI input) and the icon on the screen changes indicating that it is trying to connect, but nothing is displayed on the screen, unfortunately.
The HERO10 Black comes with the 1.4-inch square screen on the front and may be insufficient for anyone recording vlogs, so it is an accessory that becomes useful for this and other types of uses.
However, it is not a screen. touch and when connecting to your GoPro, it turns off the camera's screens, that is: you cannot control or change the settings, you need to disconnect the screen (which is a rather fragile connector, you must be careful, because any bump is already disconnect) to change any settings.
The battery percentage is informed on the display and it changes the direction of the image when you lay the screen down or when you stand on it. It is important to that, while connected, you must avoid water, as the connectors are exposed and you do not want to damage either the modules or your camera.
A front screen is sold on the website of GoPro for USD 79.99
Media module for HERO10 and HERO9 cameras 19401o

As we said at the beginning of the text, the GoPro HERO10 Black has the same mold as the GoPro HERO9 Black, which makes this accessory compatible with both lines.
On the website it is reported that he was “designed to record vlogs and live streams“, which makes perfect sense as there is a built-in directional microphone that provides cleaner audio, reducing ambient sound and wind noise, for example.
he has s cold shoe for you to connect to the front display, lighting module, or other GoPro or third-party accessories, micro HDMI output (removed on GoPro 8) for playback on external monitors, 3,5mm input for external microphone, and USB-C output for charging or data transmission.
The module's microphone comes with a removable foam cover that suppresses wind gusts of up to 32 km/h according to GoPro. To fit it to the camera you need to remove the battery door (even don't lose it, just this one cap is sold for USD 19.99 on the website of GoPro), and it connects via USB-C itself.
O Media Module is being sold for USD 79.99.
lighting module 1z6u1y
Light is everything for photography. To help get around low-light situations, GoPro sells a waterproof Light Module that can be attached to the Media Module or with GoPro mounts. There are 4 brightness levels up to 200 lumens. Its battery is independent for up to 6 hours with minimum brightness, and to recharge, just open the cap and connect the USB-C cable.

Conclusion 60664y
It is indisputable that the product is excellent. If you already have the HERO8 or 9, it might not be worth the upgrade, but if you don't have any action cameras or have older models and are considering buying the HERO9 or HERO10, go for HERO10.
Unfortunately, information about its features is very scarce, there is no data on which bluetooth is, on the screen resolution, sensor aperture, on the GPS, if it is Glonass, what matters is that everything works.
worth the upgrade? The answer is: it depends. Which model do you already have? If you have HERO8 or HERO9, it may not be worth it, it will depend a lot on your profession or what you want to do.
Between 9 and 10, which one is worth? Look, they both have things in common, but the 9's processor is the same that's been used since the 6th, and the GP2 brought many improvements, more resolutions, and if you plan on buying something that will last a long time, it's worth investing a little. more and buy the 2021 version. Also because, on the date of publication of this article, HERO9 is more expensive than HERO10.
