All-out speed and ultimate ease come together in the most powerful GoPro ever, HERO10 Black. The revolutionary new GP2 chip shoots 5.3K video with double the frame rate, 23MP photos, enhanced low-light performance and bar-shattering HyperSmooth 4.0 video stabilization in all modes. To simplify things, HERO10 is cloud connected-so the moment you charge it, your footage is automatically uploaded to the cloud.
Product Design
To commemorate this milestone camera and its revolutionary new GP2 engine, HERO10 Black has a special GoPro Cyan Blue logo on the front and a matching HERO10 Black logo on the side.

Breakthrough Image Quality and Video Stabilization

GoPro’s shockingly good in-camera video stabilization gets an upgrade to HyperSmooth 4.0, ensuring that HERO10 Black smooths out even your most shake-ladened experiences. HERO10’s in-camera horizon leveling feature benefits from an increased tilt limit of 45° in high-performance settings, up from 27°, making even your most chaotic video footage look professionally smooth and steady.
