GoPro Hero 10 Black specifications

The big change in GoPro Hero 10 Black is the new GP2 processor. Thanks to it, the camera can now shoot up to 5.3K 60fps, 4K 120fps, and 2.7K 240fps videos. The supported framerates in all these resolutions have effectively doubled compared to the Hero 9 Black. It can also capture 23-megapixel photos and promises better low-light performance. The new processor also brings features such as noise reduction and local tone mapping to videos too.

GoPro Hero 10 Black gets improved stabilisation called HyperSmooth 4.0 and the limit for the Horizon Levelling feature has been bumped up to 45 degrees, from 27 degrees in the previous model. You'll also be able to grab 19.6-megapixel still photos from video clips shot at 5.3K resolution. GoPro claims transferring media from the camera to your phone is now up to 30 percent quicker with the Hero 10 Black. You can now transfer media over a wired connection from your phone to the camera, provided you have the appropriate cable.

GoPro Hero 8 Black Review

The new Hero 10 Black has identical dimensions to GoPro Hero 9 Black and features the folding mounting feet, voice control, and is waterproof up to 10m. The lens cover is also removable, just like the previous model, and is compatible with all the mods that were introduced for the Hero 9 Black. It can automatically upload your content to the cloud (if you have a GoPro subscription) and features such as TimeWarp 3.0, HindSight, Scheduled Capture, and Live Burst are also present.
