GoPro Hero 10 Black - What's better about it in plain English?

The new GoPro Hero10 is better, but why? Is it worth the upgrade? Will most users even notice a difference? Here are the important features of this new action camera, and what they will mean for mountain bikers looking to upgrade or start fresh.

GoPro sent a pre-release version of the Hero10 for us to review, and we got to keep it. We were under the obligation to keep it a secret until 9AM September 16th. We were not paid, and not under any other obligations beyond non disclosure.

I know we left out tons of exciting features like horizon leveling and subscription services… I just don’t think those are relevant to your next bike park trip, so we really tried to test the things that would matter to you, the mountain biker. I hope we did, but I’m open to suggestions for next time! I’ve always waited weeks to see an actual mountain biker review a new GoPro, and so having the opportunity to do this on launch day seemed like a no brainer.

"Dolphin was... pooping" is a strange insight into Seth's subconsciousness.

Nice video.
Just one tip. On GoPro HERO5/6/7/8/9/10
If the camera locks up for any reason, DO NOT pull the battery. What you need to do is press and hold the side mode button for 12 to 15 seconds and then release. This will clear the error and soft reset the camera.

Finally someone telling us about it in terms we can understand lol

Jeez. I remember when the hero 3 was brand new, top of the line and super expensive. Man has time flied.

At first I thought they all look like shit then I realized YouTube automatically puts it in 480p

This is such a good review. It’s honest and explains the features that people are going to use most.

The fact that you are telling us to watch your Gopro 9 video says a lot how small these upgrades are.

Glad to see you are recovering from your ankle injury Seth!

GoPro: How do we get people to buy our new camera this year? Lets put a touch screen that actually works on it.

After using GoPro's for years only to have to pull the battery out, I bought a DJI. Totally been happy with it, but it doesn't have the awesome features that the GoPro's have. Once GoPro can have 1. Great battery life and 2. No freezing/never have to pull the battery out, I'll buy one. GoPro 11?

Those slo-mo shots just look like they are coming right from a high end DSLR camera and also do all the other shots

In the end, apart from being more nerdy, it doesn’t bring anything to the table. 5k will definitely draw the battery faster and fill your SD card in no time. The only thing most riders would need is a bigger sensor for noticeably improved low light performance (in the woods for instance).
Or HDR 😍
I’ll stick with my 7 black!

Good job Seth . I like that you go straight to the point and make an honest review . Most of the youtubers will say how big upgrade it is, without even mention the important things that you said .

“So you can set this up in a tree and watch a swimming pool…”
Uh, Seth…
“…being built!”
Much better.

This is actually more useful than any tech review ... real world usage and features you do end up using.

The Hero 10 Black looks good, and all your points on its improvements and useability are great. I personally find it hard to continue supporting GoPro with the experiences I have had with my Hero 7 Black, and stories from other users with later models. I have lost tons of footage while snowboarding, dirt biking, and riding MTBs because of the GoPro's buggy operating system (had it RMA'd already too). This has made good days of riding turn bad in a matter of minutes. I sincerely hope the 10 is fixed, but please don't cross your fingers on firmware updates if its not.

This will help me improve my bunny hop by a lot. I can now see my mistakes with even more details!

[JacobJang]

As someone using GoPro strictly for mtb, this is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you!!!

I can watch Seth explains anything and I'll be still entertained.
