The Apple of action cams has done it again, iterating enough to be certain that there is a perceptible improvement, but not enough to hinder sales of the older, now slightly cheaper model. We gave the HERO 9 Black five stars, and it’s still a fantastic camera, but the HERO 10 Black is better in multiple ways.
It’s visually identical to the groundbreaking GoPro HERO 9 Black; the only obvious differences being the GoPro logo under the front screen is a natty blue and the body is slightly darker.
Elsewhere, the similarities continue: the battery compartment, USB-C charge port, 1720mAh Lithium battery and battery lid could be the same components. The flip down ‘fingers’ to mount the camera are identical to the HERO 9 Black, which makes them backwards compatible with many years worth of GoPro mounts.
The operation buttons are also identical to the HERO 9 Black, a side mode and power button, and a top-mounted record button, both rubberised and glove-compatible thanks to nice big surfaces. LCD screens are the same size as the HERO 9 Black, but the rear screen has much improved touch sensitivity baked in, which is immediately obvious flicking through the menus.
The one major change to the exterior is the removable main lens cover. It looks the same, but is equipped with hydrophobic, water-shedding glass and is more scratch-resistant with reduced ghosting. Fingermarks can just be swiped away with another finger and water beads just run off.
Inside the GP2 chipset is the key big improvement, giving direct benefits like quicker boot and faster transfers, while indirectly upping the image and video quality.
