Exploring the GoPro Hero 10 Black: An In-Depth Review of Upgraded Features and Performance
In a recent comprehensive review by expert tech reviewer Ray from DC Rainmaker, the new GoPro Hero 10 Black was put through its paces to provide viewers with detailed insights into what they can expect from this latest action camera offering. Over the past month, Ray has rigorously tested the Hero 10 Black in various scenarios, allowing him to share a seasoned perspective on the camera's capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Uninfluenced by sponsorships, Ray promises a candid assessment, including side-by-side comparisons with the Hero 9 and competitive models from DJI and Insta360.
One noticeable change users will encounter with the Hero 10 Black is the price jump. The camera now retails for $399 with a GoPro subscription, a $50 increase from the previous model. For those without a subscription, the price climbs an additional $100 to $499. If one wonders about the aesthetic differences between the Hero 9 and Hero 10, Ray points out the blue branding text as the key visual indicator. The most significant technical advancements come in the form of doubled frame rates. While the previous 5K-30fps is now 5K-60fps, and 4K-60fps has advanced to 4K-120fps, GoPro has not yet reached the 480fps mark, citing current software limitations.
At the heart of the GoPro Hero 10 Black lies the new GP2 chipset. This represents the biggest leap in the camera's technology, succeeding the GP1 chipset used up until the Hero 9. The GP2 promises greater frame rates, improved responsiveness, and allows for future growth through firmware updates–with one anticipated as early as November. Additionally, a significant update in photo modes shows that all pictures can now be taken at a high 23.6-megapixel resolution without needing to shoot in RAW. Ray also highlights the new hydrophobic coating on the camera's lens, aimed at repelling water and preventing droplet formation. GoPro notably cautions consumers against licking the lens as it may degrade this protective layer. For users who require a slower pace to digest this comprehensive review, Ray provides a beginner's guide, helping even the most novice users get the most out of their Hero 10 Black.
