The footage I recorded holding the GoPro in my hand looked like I had used a gimbal or stabiliser. Filming in 2.7k with Hypersmooth 4.0 on high mode works very well.


The high mode can now be used in 5.3K resolution at 30fps, 4K resolution at 60fps, 2.7K at 120fps, and everything below that. HyperSmooth 4.0 can be used in two modes, standard and high. GoPro’s in-camera electronic stabilisation, HyperSmooth, has also been improved. In order to see the benefits of these high resolutions, you’ll need a monitor or phone compatible with these, and 5.3K isn’t very common. However, don’t get sucked in by that too much. You can now film in 5.3K at 60fps, 4K at 120fps, 2.7K at 240fps and everything in between, it’s massive. Thanks to the GP2 processor, video framerates in all resolutions have been doubled. The video capabilities of the Hero 10 Black have also been improved. And I was very pleased that it was compatible with the previous generation accessories and Hero 9 mods.
GOPRO QUIK REVIEW MODS
The Hero 10 has maintained the foldable arms, at the bottom of the device, for attaching to mods and accessories. Again, welcome improvements for taking action shots. It’s also more scratch resistant and has been enhanced to reduce ghosting. This was great for recording videos on rainy days and coming out of water, as the fluid would slide off the lens not obstructing the shot. The Hero 10’s lens is now “hydrophobic”, meaning it repels water. The Hero 10 Black is slightly lighter than the Hero 9 weighing 153g and the lens has been improved. There are some design changes that are a little less noticeable. Allowing you to throw it around without worry and take it in up to 10m of water. It boasts the same sturdy and robust design that GoPros are known for. It has the same front-facing screen, the removable camera lens, the start/stop button on top, the mode button on the left side and the compartment where the battery, USB-C port and SD card are kept, on the right. If you put it next to the Hero 9 you won’t be able to tell the difference (other than the blue “10 Black” written on the side) The Hero 10 Black costs $849 on its own and $699.99 if you have a GoPro subscription. Repeated transferring disconnections and issues.
GOPRO QUIK REVIEW PC
Harder to get footage onto my PC than it should be.But the poor battery and the unintuitive Quik app remain disappointing and they’re issues that are hard to look past. The UI is faster, touch inputs are more responsive, the preview screens framerates have doubled, file offloading is quicker, you can capture 23MP photos and HyperSmooth 4.0 has been introduced.įor footage, quite simply, the Hero 10 Black is a beast and its improvements are welcome ones. And as soon as I started using the Hero 10, I noticed the improvements. Inside the Hero 10 Black is the new GP2 processor that GoPro claims will produce double the amount of performance that the Hero 9 Black’s GP1 processer could produce. However, areas that needed addressing like poor battery life haven’t seen these improvements and that holds the Hero 10 back. Instead, GoPro has focussed on improving and enhancing what was already good about its action camera, and the results are impressive. It looks the same as the Hero 9 Black, it’s as durable as GoPro’s of the past and it films at very high resolution. GoPro hasn’t tried to reinvent its action camera with the Hero 10 Black.
