GoPro HERO10 Black Camera Revealed with Upgraded Image Quality, Stabilisation & Speed

- 3 years ago

GoPro has announced its much-anticipated flagship camera, HERO10 Black. A new action camera that follows on from the brand’s rich heritage of small-form video cameras, but with new and improved features that have got us salivating.

The company’s new high-performance GP2 processor, being a key update with the new GoPro HERO10 Black, promises to deliver ‘breakthrough image quality’ and ‘blistering’ video frame rates that take the camera into the realms of 5.3K video at 60 frames per second, 4K video at 120 frames per second and 2.7K video at an impressive 240 frames per second. It’s an upgrade, to say the least. With a reduced weight of 153g, the GoPro HERO10 sends long-standing features to new heights. It has a more responsive interface with quicker captures and offers twice the performance of the GP1.

The new GP2 processor also facilitates GoPro’s famous HyperSmooth stabilisation; now in its 4.0 iteration that promises to set a new standard and producing ‘the smoothest shake-free video you’ve ever seen from any camera, regardless of price.’ A bold claim, indeed.

GoPro is also offering camera ‘mods’ to increase the versatility of their HERO line, and the HERO10 is also getting the treatment. The Max Lens Mod, Media Mod, Light Mod, and Display Mod are all available with the new addition to the family.

Webcam Mode on the HERO10 can broadcast full 1080p HD video with a 132° wide field of view. While the front display can help you frame the shots of your lovely face. A perfect solution for doing live streams or tutorials while cruising down a mountain or catching a wave. Or live stream with HyperSmooth 4.0 while rock climbing at Yosemite. Just as long as you brought a solid hotspot to manage your WiFi signal.
