GoPro took note of all inconvenience factors in the GoPro HERO9 and announced the next generation as GoPro HERO10 Black, rectifying and adding all that it lacked in the previous versions. The new action camera equips a new processor, allowing users to shoot videos in higher frame rates, enjoy better stabilization, and the ability to automatically upload videos to the cloud while charging. On top of that, it makes the GoPro HERO10 black an absolute stunner with a fluid and responsive experience.

Highlights

The new GP2 Processor allows HERO10 to double its existing frame rate on HERO9 and go as high as 5.3K at 60 frames per second. It is also capable of shooting at 4K 120fps, and 2.7K 240fps, breaching the previous limit of shooting at 1080 resolutions. The HERO10 Black can be used to shoot 23MP photos, and can even pull up to 19.6MP frame grabs from a 5K video.

GoPro now has a new HyperSmooth 4.0 stabilization feature, which can operate at higher resolution and frame rate combinations than before. The GP2 chip removes noise and allows local tone mapping in videos, making it a delight to use in low-lit environments. There’s an additional hydrophobic coating for the lens cover, less scratch-prone, and support for a wired connection for offloading content faster to the phone.

Among the new additions is the “horizon leveling” feature, where the camera tries to keep the horizon as a straight line, lets it tilt up to 45 degrees before the sky starts moving, which is a big improvement over the 27 degrees on the HERO9. However, it comes at the cost of resolutions and frame rates, as it limits them to 4k 60fps or 2.7k 120 fps.

Subscription

Apparently, the feature of uploading videos directly to the cloud while charging is what makes it more of a smartphone than just a regular camera. However, it is only functional with a GoPro subscription, which is $5 a month or $50 a year. The subscription saves you an additional $100 off the camera, bringing its price of $499 down to $399. An added bonus is access to GoPro’s damaged camera replacement program.

It is equally easier for users without a subscription to transfer data to the smartphone as GoPro says the new processor makes wireless transfers to its app 30% faster. There’s an additional option of using a cable to further expedite the data offloading process.

GoPro is all set to announce its new action camera on September 15, but a recent leak has spoiled the suspense for the fans waiting for the Hero 10 Black. A few days ago, Roland Quandt from WinFuture revealed the European prices for the Hero 10 Black, and now he’s back again, revealing the design, specifications and features of GoPro’s upcoming action camera.

GoPro would be marketing the Hero 10 Black as the “most powerful GoPro of all time”. The Her 10 Black action camera would come with a new GP2 chip. The GP2 chip is reported to offer double the performance compared to its predecessor, improved low light performance with more hardware upgrades. It would come with an updated stabilization dubbed HyperSmooth 4.0, marketed as “groundbreaking.” The HyperSmooth 4.0 would ensure that users can activate the recording anytime without any hassle. The new algorithm would also improve the low light performance during recordings. The design of Hero 10 Black won’t be much different than the Hero 9 Black.

According to the report, the GoPro Hero 10 Black would offer images up to 23 megapixels and 5.3K videos at up to 60 frames per second. Further, the slow-motion videos can be recorded at 8 times delay at 2.7K resolution (at 240fps). The Hero 10 Black will also allow users to extract images of 15.3 megapixels from the 5.3K videos. The upcoming GoPro action camera will feature a new lens with a hydrophobic layer minimizing reflections and preventing disturbing effects.

The Hero 10 Black will come with the same 2.7-inch display as its predecessor with touch functionality. However, the refresh rate of the front display is said to be increased to achieve a more fluid output display. GoPro claims that the upcoming Hero 10 Black would offer smoother touch controls and a faster shutter release. The live stream image quality is also said to be higher than its predecessor. The FoV will remain the same at 132 degrees, but it can be widened to 155 degrees using the Max Lens mod. The battery also remains unchanged at 1720mAh with support for fast charging.

The upcoming Hero 10 Black is expected to be officially announced on September 15. It is expected to cost 539.99 euros without the GoPro Cloud subscription.
