👉UPDATE 1: Apologies for 8:30-8:50 audio issue - not sure what happened there! But I say GadgetsBoy experienced the same overheating issues, and my Hero 9 didn't shut down in same tests

👉UPDATE 2: New Hero 10 software released today (H21.01.01.10.00), tested it - same overheating issues :(

This is the only review to talk about *GoPro’s Overheating* issues. Thank You

[JohnnyChiuchiolo]

There is a problem with the audio around 8:30 min, but overall I think for now it's better to get a Hero 9 for a good deal!

[Average-AL]

Wow! 20 minutes and overheat? No way buying that! Thanks for posting this.

This is why I don’t wanna get hyped so much. Expected more from GoPro Hero 10.😞

[RichardSlater]

Not enough of an upgrade for me. They need to increase image sensor and sort low light performance out. Gopro seems to be struggling to invest in R&D to really improve these cameras. In my opinion they are struggling to be market leaders still.

Here's what's missing:
1. Bluetooth to use with a Bluetooth mic and/or earphones
2. Larger LCD on the back with less black border around the screen
3. Ability to plug in a mic through a SMALL USB-C adapter
4. USB-C port cover that's separate from the battery cover, for more convenient access
5. HDMI output through SMALL USB-C adapter
6. 1/4-20" thread right on the body
7. A built-in cold shoe mount would also be great :)
That's all I can think of for now. Otherwise, it seems like a nice update but I'll wait to see how the overheating issue plays out. Great video BTW!

Dang that's a deal breaker for that new thing to overheat already.

[SpawnPoiint]

It looks great! I'll stick with my Hero 9 Black that I never use 😂

Thanks The Tech Chap and GadgetsBoy for your honest reviews, haven't seen anyone else report overheating issue, don't know if their units are from different production batches or they haven't done such extensive testing as you. Another issue, highlighted by DC Rainmaker in his review @, is the Max Lens Mod isn't immediately supported but requires a software update coming this November.

[Chokkan]

Oh wow, it overheats. Surprise. Imagine using this in summer.

[beckinbinderin]

"We will be fine tuning..." No, they probably won't. They STILL haven't fixed the 9's audio crackling issues. This camera should NOT be recommended until everyone is sure that it actually works. The same for the 9, as that has remaining issues.

[afinney]

That overheating issue kills it for me.

[LucekV]

Looks like, year after GP10 we can expect different looking GP11, for improved cooling for instance. Or there will be option with extensive water resistance and other with overall better image quality.

@hero11, I love the mount, but the "doors" are opening from the mounted side, so if you are a motorcyclist, you have to take the helmet off, unscrew the gopro and change battery. It's not a huge deal, but it could be rotated for 180° even though if you have mic aftermarket mounts, they would still work.

[klaymoon]

That rc boat video is awesome! The best stabilization I’ve never seen! However, the over heating is usually hard to fix by the software update. I wish gopro will be able to fix it, but they should not have released it if they already knew the issue.

[AlexanderIrwin]

Good to view an honest review that is not just full of Gopro hype

[KayakFishingAddict]

What’s missing? 1” Sensor, 10-bit color, a true log format. Thanks for the overheating comment, I’m running Hero8’s in my setup right now; I’ll have to hold off until the overheating issues are resolved. I run my cameras off/on continuously for 4-6 hours on external power…. Overheating shut offs would kill my setup.

[RoamPanda]

For me the one thing that is missing is a build in mic input and a cold shoe mount. always have to fiddle around with the mod....

How awesome is it to watch videos on YouTube in 4k60…looked amazing on my iPhone 12..this is the future I guess 😍😍😍
