I used my go pro to snuba diving. Works really well under 25 feet under

My daughter received this for Christmas, and she loves It.

Used this item once in the water with a case on and water got inside! Spent over $400 and they won’t even replace it! Item was defective!

GoPro - HERO10 Black Action Camera Included- Camera, rechargeable battery, USB-C charging cord, mounting buckle and thumb screw, storage case and manual. **NOT included- a micro SD card but is required to operate. Setup- Everything is neatly packed up in a zippered case which makes it easy to travel and store. I do wish there was a wrist strap on the case if I needed to free up my hands but I really appreciate the nice case. To start, you will need to download the GoPro Quick app. Insert the battery, microSD card and then push the power button that's on the top of the camera. The screen walks you through each step- language, terms and condtions, gps, pairing the bluetooth and it will need to update the GoPro. The update only took a few minutes. I recommend charging the battery immediately so it's ready for you to set up and use. There is a red light to indicate the battery is charging and it will turn off when it's done. It took a few hours to fully charge from an empty battery. Features- The Hero10 has so many awesome features. It's built with durabilty in mind. It's meant to withstand all the elements- rain, snow, mud and water (up to 33' depth).The lens is scratch resistant and can be replaced if needed. There are 3 modes of fillming- standard, activity and cinematic and offers custom settings to create your own presets. There's 14 voice controls if you prefer a hands free mode instead of the touch screen. It will shoot in 5.3K resolution at 60 fps. There's 8x slow motion at 2.7K .You can take pictures from the paused video. It has Hypersmooth stablization and a GP2 prcoessor for. You can connect your Hero10 to your computer and broadcast in 1080HD. This is my first GoPro and I was so excited about trying it. I was able to buy a magnetic swivel clip on clearance and attach it right away to the GoPro. There are a lot of other accessories out there that I will be looking at. We took the Hero10 out around the neighbohood to test it out. The picture quality is amazing. I was really impressed with the crisp colors and picture on the video. Then transferring photos and video from the device is super simple via the Quik app or the USB. I popped open the app and it recognized there were files that needed to be downloaded. It will transfer the files at a touch of a button or you can set up auto upload. There is some basic editing in the app that can be applied to your videos and photos and you can share everything right within the app. I did have some problems getting the GoPro to pair with my daughter's phone after mine. I'm not sure why that isn't working but hopefully we can figure that out. I also have had some minor struggles trying to maneuver through the menu on the screen. There is a learning curve to figure out the options and where to find them. The GoPro Hero10 is a really great impressive camera. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it is small and powerful and so fun. We're going on a trip in a few weeks and it will be really fun to bring along and use.

Absolutely useless camera. Wont record over 15-20min. I missed my return window by 1 day. Its going in the trash along with all the extra batteries and accessories, thats how garbage this camera is.

Took to sturgis and never got to use it. It overheated within the first 30 min

Wifi sucks .its always hard to connect to wifi ...

I would not recommend if you already have an iPhone.

Bought as used excellent. Came defective. I was in a trip and couldnt retirn within 15 days

I'm sure a lot of people wonder why you need an extra device if you have one of the latest smart phones that take great photos and videos. Once you use a GoPro you will absolutely understand the difference in having a device designed completely around being the most superior camera on the planet. GoPro's have developed a reputation for the ability to deliver high quality video when out and about performing extreme activities. It is a highly durable camera in a waterproof casing and, like earlier models, mounts easily to helmets, bikes, kayaks, surfboards, etc to capture video while you worry about doing instead of filming. I think what is surprising is the level of stabilization and image correction this version, the Hero 10 provides. This is thanks to the GP2 in camera processor. The image is cleaned up and image is corrected for smoother and more stable filming regardless of what you're doing. One of the things that I found great was how easy the camera was to setup. All I had to do was drop the battery and a new SD card in the camera, and scan the included QR code with my phone. There were a couple clear steps to sync the camera to my phone and then upgrade the camera to the latest firmware. I was filming and syncing to the cloud less than 15 minutes from opening it up. The Quik phone app has basic image and video editing abilities. I found these to be slightly better than say Google Photos, and made it really easy to put together highlight reals and other goods. Overall I think you need to upload videos to the cloud and use Adobe to really show the polish In short, your videos and pictures look absolutely gorgeous using this GoPro, regardless of what you're doing and how you're holding/mounting the camera.

the camera gets hot, sometimes it doesn't turn on I haven't been able to record or take photos.

The GoPro Hero 10 is a fine camera. It has enough features and adjustable settings that it would take a year to try them all. There are multiple image formats in each of three basic imaging modes: still photo, video, and time-lapse. There are then five different video modes, three different still photo modes, and four different time-lapse mode. And the variety of options within each of these continues beyond this. As I say, give me a year or two, and I’ll have had a chance to try them all. Now for the basics. Setup of the camera is mostly straightforward. Like nearly every type of electronics you buy today, with this camera, you are encouraged to download and install an app on your phone to control it. The app allows you to import images and videos to the phone, and then you can do whatever you want with them from there. You can also see on your phone’s screen what the camera lens sees. I’m not 100% sure where this will be useful as it would seem to be something that you would use if the camera were being used for security, but I don’t think anyone will use it that way. The first thing the app does, and there’s a big note right on top of the camera when you first open the box, is tell you to update the camera’s internal software. This is simple to do, but there are two preliminary requirements. First, the battery arrives with no charge on it, so it must be charged before the camera can be used. The supplied USB-C cable connects to a port that is accessed by opening the battery compartment, and this how the camera is charged. You’ll need to provide an AC-adapter if you want to charge the camera from a 120V outlet as none is included in the box. The update can be performed while the camera is charging. Second, you need to supply a microSD card before you can do anything. This is stated on the outside of the box, so make sure you have one on hand. The slot for it is also accessed by opening the battery compartment. I installed a 128 GB card, which should be enough to hold as many images and videos as I’m likely to take before I offload them to my computer. Once the card is installed, the battery charged, and the firmware updated, you’re off and running. There are only two buttons on the camera, a power switch and a shutter switch. Everything else is controlled by tapping and swiping on the touch screen. There are both front and rear screens on the camera, which makes taking selfies convenient, but only the larger, rear screen is a touch screen. This camera is small. It measures only 2.75 by 2 by 1.25 inches, but it’s still comfortable to use, even if you have relatively large hands, as I do. It has a nice heft to it, weighing in at a little over five ounces. The smallness of the camera is one of its selling points as it is designed to be attached to something like your helmet if you’re a biker or skier and want to capture video. It comes with adapters to allow attachment to, among other things, a helmet or bicycle handlebars. The camera has a 23 megapixel sensor for still photos and 5.3K resolution in video mode, so photos and videos capture great detail. Each image taking anywhere from about 4.5 to about 6 MB. My one complaint has nothing to do with the camera but with the available documentation. In short, there isn’t any. Like most electronics nowadays, all there is in the box is a quick setup guide, and the expectation is that the full user manual can be found online at the manufacturer’s website. Not so with this camera. I looked everywhere at the GoPro website and could not find a manual. The best I could do was a manual for the GoPro Hero 9, which is very similar, and which was able to give me the information I needed. But c’mon, if you’re going to offer something for sale, how about a manual to go with it? There are so many configuration options that you need something to tell you what each of the icons and so forth on the various screens mean without having to do it by trial-and-error. Overall, though, this is a minor complaint given that the manual for the 9 is good enough. As I’ve noted, the camera has been a pleasure to use in the few days I’ve owned it, and I look forward to making use of all of its features.

I use my GoPro and other brands when I take my Mustang to the track for high-speed action. No matter what other brands I have used, I always end up using the GoPro footage. Everything from clarity, to Hypersmooth and other available options (5K, 4K, 1080P frames, etc.) is perfect for me in any situation. The GoPro10 Boasts 2X the performance of the 9. As a test, I mounted my old 7 and the 10 on my car and took it for a spirited drive (obeying all the speed laws of course) this course has slight elevation changes, banked curves, and some rough patches. I set the go pro to 4K 120FPS and let her rip using my phone as a remote to start and stop the recordings. The results of the 7 (less FPS) are still fairly good but the 10 blew me away. The slow-mo was awesome, not skipping or having a shutter-like effect that the 7 did. The 10 was butter smooth. Through the curves, elevation changes, and rougher areas of the road. The 10 held its line and kept the video straight. This is something my wife likes, so when I replay it on our TV, she won’t get motion sickness ha-ha. The free software is good. You can make small edits on your phone or use a connector to DL to your pc which is what I did. (Note just make sure your PC or laptop has a video card, processor, and enough storage that can keep up with your editing or it will be a nightmare.) Or better yet subscribe to the service for unlimited uploads. When editing I was able to pick out multiple frames and keep them as a snapshot. They were very clear, no one would know that they are just a screen capture from a video. I really don’t use the picture mode because of this. I also tested out the time-lapse for a sunrise. I set it up for 1 pic every 15 seconds and let it run for 2 hours. (The battery held fine) the software made it a snap to stream together a small loop. Another impressive item to note is the video on the 10 was much better at handling different lighting conditions. The 7 had areas that were blown out with highlights when driving through an area of trees. The 10 was able to adjust for the highlights/backlit situations much better than and twice as fast as the previous model. When you set it up for the first time you need to make sure your battery is fully charged or have it plugged in, as it requires an update. I would recommend not setting it up and walking away and assuming all is good. When I tried the first time, I guess my phone and the camera lost connection and was caught in a loop trying to update. When I came back 15 minutes later, my 10 was Steaming Hot!!! I was afraid it was toast, luckily no issues. I would think that in a future firmware or software update that they would write some code that would time out the update after X amounts of minutes so this overheating would not be an issue. I rebooted my phone and the GoPro and tried again and the update was finished in less than 5 minutes. Then resumed setting up my favorite defaults for the camera, search up somehow to’s to find what’s best for you for those that are new to GoPro. I did notice that the battery left indicator changes with each mode you navigate to. Very helpful addition especially when you are down to your last battery and need an idea of time left. You can back down the FPS or quality to extend life. (Note: always carry 2 batteries and multiple SD cards. GoPro branded batteries and major brand cards) I wanted to test what the camera would do with an SD card that’s slower than recommended. For those just in case moments where you need a card quick and go-to card is full. The camera gives up a pop-up and lets you know some of the performance of options will not be as good as a faster card!! And finally, there are some basic settings in each mode set up already. You can and should edit each one to your liking. You can also add more presets for each mode. Frankly, this OS on the camera has been thought out very well. It has a nice flow, that’s easy to back out of if you get lost. There are a ton of options for each mode, should you choose to go down that rabbit hole. This camera is a nice addition for any outdoor activities and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone.

I recently purchased a Jeep with the intention to do some overland camping and light offroad trail driving and I wanted a camera that would help me document those trips. I have several GoPro Hero Sessions that I picked up 4 years ago. They worked great but without a screen and having to rely on the phone app it was a bit trial and error for me but quality was always good. The Hero 10 is probably overkill for my needs but I'm sure if I spend more time with it I'll get more out of it. The new Hero 10 is like the past few editions with dual displays. It has a rear touch screen to control the camera settings and a front preview screen if you are on the action side of the camera. So many options... from photo mode or time lapse or video, all easily accessible with a swipe of the finger on the touch screen. I like the way you can customize your standard settings on the GoPro main screen to fit your needs and using the GoPro Quik app makes it even easier. In video mode if you need a higher frame rate for fast moving action you can crank it up but you will need to crank down the resolution. If you need higher resolution just crank it up but crank down the frame rate. You can select resolution to 1080p, 2.7K, 4K or 5.3K with framerates at 24, 30, 60, 120 and 240 but remember as you up your resolution your framerates will need to decrease. In Photo mode you can select between narrow, linear and wide field of view. You can also change the file format between JPG, RAW or even HDR. You can adjust the shutter delay to get yourself into the shot. There are several options for photos as well. You can switch between standard, burst and night mode. I’ve used time-lapse mode in the past with my other GoPros to capture a string of photos on a long trip (Houston to LA). For me it captures the essence of the trip and I may supplement with stills and videos when I edit the footage into a movie. In time-lapse you can set resolution, lens, speed, interval and duration of the clips and save to your own custom default or quick select settings. A big improvement to performance will be to make sure that you have a recommended high speed micro-SD card. Using the app you can edit and clip footage from your video or you can capture just a still with frame by frame control. My only issues I’ve had with the Hero10 were the battery/microSD card compartment cover is extremely tight to ensure a waterproof seal and at first I found that I needed a key or coin to give me enough leverage to push it past the catch but it’s loosening up enough now that I can typically push it open with just my finger. It’s still tight but manageable now. The other issue I had was the camera was overheating and automatically shutting down. I did contact GoPro and they gave me some suggestions. The biggest issue for me was camera placement in my Jeep. I have a horizontal tubular bar on my dash with some RAM mounted items and I purchased a clamp mount for the GoPro. While it was off the dash it apparently was too close to the windshield with minimal air flow around it. I’ve since purchased another clamp mount with longer extension arm to see if that doesn’t fix the problem otherwise it’s back to suction cup mounts to the exterior of the body. For a casual user you may not need to subscribe to the GoPro cloud services but you get a lot of extra flexibility and instant cloud storage (if you are in cellular range and your data plan allows). GoPro hit another one out of the park. Flexibility and ease of use are key components their cameras and I can see myself adding this to my 3 other Hero Sessions for some awesome videos in the future.

Absolute TRASH DO NOT BUY!!! Immediately got stuck in record mode GoPro wont fix or replace, horrible design

will not update, keeps asking connect wifi, and not transfering media pics

Lasted less than 6 months. First Go Pro I've had that has been so crappy. No drops, nothing...

GoPro’s new Hero camera is here! While it maintains the same shape and style of the Hero 9 (the 10 uses the same batteries and attachments as the 9, with the exception of the max lens mod), GoPro finally updates the main cpu to the new GoPro GP2. GoPro claims this chip is twice as fast, and it shows. Combined with a new sensor, this is the best GoPro to date. The outgoing model, the Hero 9, had a lot of features and had the first full color front screen on a GoPro, allowing for easy selfies and vlogging. Unfortunately, this additional draw on the system along with all of the advanced processing for high resolutions and frame rates made the 9 very sluggish. The menus, in particular, were a source of frustration. Thankfully, the new processor fixes this problem and the 10 is extremely responsive, feeling like a modern cell phone. The processor upgrade also unlocks even higher frame rate options and video processing is better. I felt that the 9 had some aggressive processing, for example 2.7k video looked strangely overworked and the end result was a loss of detail. Video on the 10 seems to be improved, color is better, low light performance is less noisy while still holding on to detail, and video is clearer and more natural looking. Linear video with or without horizon leveling are available across even more video modes, along with some crazy high frame rates for slo-mo video. Notably, 5.3k can now be linear with hypersmooth at 60fps, and 2.7k can go as high as 240! Hypersmooth is still one of the most incredible features of this camera. It is truly amazing how well it stabilizes video. Handheld on a boat, on a bike, or even on a roller coaster, it is like the camera is on a gimbal while not needing any accessories. For stills, super photos (HDR and processed for more color and clarity) process very quickly with the new processor. Since this camera packs even more pixels on the sensor, low light performance is still not great. It’s just the limits of optical sensors. Outside, it works well enough, but you can tell this camera is really for video. The lens also has a new hydrophobic coating. It’s kind of uncanny how well water beads up and falls away from the lens. Combined with waterproofing to 33 ft, this camera is built for action right out of the box. Speaking of, I am happy GoPro decided to continue the change they made with the 9 and the Hero 10 ships with a case that is big enough to hold the camera and several accessories. This reduces trash waste and adds value to the package. There are also other nice things this camera can do – you can link it to your phone for live streaming, or to a PC to be a webcam. Media transfers over wireless are also much faster, which is a good thing considering how large the video files can get. I would recommend at least a 256gb micro sd card. Overall, this is the best GoPro to date, and if you are looking for a action camera that can record epic video of your adventures, this is one to consider for sure.

I’ve only had a brief encounter with a GoPro before. We were sledding and my brother brought his GoPro along to capture the festivities (admittedly, I can’t remember which model, but it was definitely an older one). I thought it was a great idea, overall. However, the GoPro experience at the time was not what I was expecting. The camera didn’t have any screen to show what you were shooting and navigation through settings was not as intuitive as I thought it should be. The captured footage was great to see, but it was a bit shaky. Fast-forward to 2021 and the GoPro Hero 10. My whole perception of these cameras changed with this model. Navigation through the settings is really intuitive, easy, and fast. I was able to play around with the settings and get the camera ready in almost no-time just before our morning bike commute to drop our son off. A few quick adjustments and I was able to get the camera started before we headed out. Mounting the camera on the handlebar of my bike, with the shocks locked off, I thought that the footage would be really shaky. On my first try, it was, considering I didn’t have the stabilization turned on. During the return trip though, I tried out the standard setting, and what it a difference it made. We have to walk our bikes at a certain point to avoid the crowds of children, and this takes us over fairly chunky gravel. I was surprised to see how stable the video was even despite this terrain. The next day, I tried the new advanced stabilization and it was awesome. It was almost as if I had never hit any bumps during the ride. Being that this is my first GoPro, I can’t say much against previous models. But, even I had older models, I could see myself buying this version for the quick setups and using my older ones for wider shots or by-stander ones. I think anyone who uses action cameras should consider this, even if they have others already.

The GoPro Hero 10 Black comes shipped in a nice case. You get the camera, battery, charging cable, one mounting base and the mount. My main use for this camera will be video and photos while riding my gravel bike. First step was to pair the camera to the GoPro Quik app, which then gave me a message the software needed to be updated, After the update I ran through the settings and then it was time to test it out. My first trip out I got it set up on the Chesty mount to where I had a nice view out over my handlebars with the resolution set to 4K/60 frames and image stabilization set to high. Press the record button and off we go. My ride was just over 90 minutes covering just over 20 miles and the battery made it through just under an hour. Reviewing the video in the app afterwards I was impressed with how sharp and clear everything was. It was a slightly humid morning, but no issues with the lense fogging up. Leaving the parking lot required traversing several speed bumps an there were a couple spots on the ride with a washboard type surface. I was very happy with the image stabilization system. You could tell I hit the bumps, but the video didn’t get all jittery or blurred and stayed very clear. The mic picked up the wind noise of the ride, yet you could clearly hear me greeting other riders and joggers along the trail. Overall very happy with the camera and ease of use. I look forward to many more rides with it. Now just have to play with the different resolution settings to see where I get the most battery life with the best resolution and video stability.
