GoPro’s HERO10 Black Edition is one of the top 4K action camera on the market. The big feature is a full color touchscreen in the front window of the Hero10 Black (with live preview. The other huge feature is HyperSmooth 4 image stabilization, which is a breakthrough in stabilization technology. Action cams are made to be in shaky environments, and image stabilization is key. All-new powerful GP2 processor allows new and more powerful features including better low light performance, higher framerates, and higher resolution(5.3k) video modes.
The HERO10 Black also can shoot up to 4K120 video (4K at 120fps). HyperSmooth 4.0 works, even at this high resolution and framerate. For many applications the HyperSmooth will replace a gimbal for stabilization. Another newer feature is Time Warp Video 3 which is a time lapse movie, that uses HyperSmooth to give you a much smoother and less jittier time lapse movie. Both of these technologies are readily superior when compared to prior models. A new Live Streaming application allows you to show streaming live video to social media like Facebook.
GoPro 4K Action CAM Features: The new Hero10 Black has mounting fingers, so you can mount without a frame or case. The mounting fingers fold up into the body.

The timer countdown will display on the front screen. The Super Photo mode gives you superior HDR (high dynamic range) photos. Up to 8x Slo-Mo, Time lapse Time Warp 3.0 features Night Lapse for night shots. Time Warp also uses hypersmooth to make your timelapse videos steady.

Smart-Review Commentary: The GoPro HERO10 Black Edition is the best Action Cam yet. The color touchscreen in the front of the camera gives added functionality (enables vlogging). GoPro has improved its HyperSmooth image stabilization to version 4.0 to work with most framerates, and improve an already fantastic image stabilizer. A new powerful GP2 processor (first new processor in years) adds higher framerates, better low light performance and new functionality. Time Warp video 3.0 (timelapse) has also improved with more features and a Night mode. Live video streaming is now available at up to 1080p to social media such as Facebook. The audio from the 3 microphones has been tweaked and improved on the HERO10 black, with one microphone front facing.

And when using the mounting fingers, the new side door allows you to change batteries or micro SD cards without removing a frame or mount.
With the new processor, the GoPro HERO10 Black can support 4K up to 120fps, and a new 5.3K mode up to 60fps. The HERO10 Black can be controlled over WiFi with a Smartphone, or for even greater range, you can get a GoPro remote.
