In short | HERO8 vs. HERO9 vs. HERO10 | Inspiration | Conclusion | Ordering | Handy accessories
The HERO10 Black is GoPro's latest camera and delivers twice as good performance compared to its predecessor. The HERO10 owes this, among other things, to the GP2 chip, which enables video in 5.3K resolution at 60fps and photos in 23 megapixels. HyperSmooth 4.0 also provides even more powerful image stabilization. This keeps your images razor sharp, even in low-light situations. The GoPro subscription and Quik app provide you powerful, easy-to-use editing tools and a location where you can keep all your recordings. The HERO10 is very versatile. In addition to shooting action images, the camera is also excellent to use for vlogging, live-streaming and taking selfies.
We've listed the key specs of the three latest HERO cameras. So you can easily see what has changed.

GoPro uses the new GP2 chip in its HERO10. This allows you to enjoy twice as powerful performance. Where its predecessor still recorded 5K video resolution in 30fps, the new HERO10 allows you to record 5.3K video at a frame rate of 60fps. GoPro has further developed the HyperSmooth 3.0 to 4.0, an even more powerful stabilization for smooth images.
Due to the robust and waterproof housing, the camera is of course still ideal for the adventurer, but this new camera can do much more. The HERO10 is a versatile camera thanks to the ability to take 23-megapixel photos and livestream them in 1080p. HDR and SuperPhoto allow you to take the most beautiful photos. Do you like to edit your photos? Then you can shoot your photos in RAW. You can easily export the images to the cloud while charging, but you can also easily put them on other devices via a Wi-Fi or USB connection with the Quik-App.
With the GoPro HERO10, you can also use smart functions such as HindSight, Scheduled Capture and Duration Capture that were not available before the HERO9. With HindSight it is no problem if you just missed the moment. The 30 seconds before you press the record button are also recorded and included in your video. Scheduled Capture and Duration Capture help you think ahead by scheduling recordings and specifying a maximum recording time.
All in all, the HERO10 has grown slightly compared to its predecessor. We see this especially with the revolutionary GP2 chip, which makes the performance of the camera up to twice as strong. Furthermore, the HERO10 features the same design as the HERO9, with a 2.27'' LCD touchscreen on the back and a 1.4'' LCD screen on the front that gives you a Live Preview while filming. Incidentally, these screens do show a higher frame rate and sharper details than on the predecessor. The HERO10's battery is the same as in the HERO9, so you don't have to worry about a dead battery anytime soon. In addition, the HERO10 is ready for fast charging, so if your battery runs out, you can get back to work in no time.
The GoPro Media Mod is a super handy accessory for the vloggers. The module contains a directional microphone for better voice recording, a 3.5 mm microphone port, an HDMI output for playback on external monitors and two accessory shoes for lighting, LCD screens or additional microphones. The removable foam microphone case ensures that wind gusts up to 32 km/h are not audible in your videos.
The GoPro dual battery charger is intended to charge two HERO10 batteries simultaneously. The charger works via USB and two status lights indicate the charging status. You get one extra strong 1720 mAh battery for the HERO9. This way you can immediately start charging two batteries: the original of the HERO10 and this extra battery. That means you'll never have to miss a moment again.
With the GoPro Floaty, the HERO10 Black stays afloat and is extra protected. You use this accessory to create the coolest action images while snorkelling, surfing or wakeboarding. Thanks to the handy design, you retain access to the buttons, both screens and the collapsible mounting plates. Because of the bright orange colour, you do not lose sight of it in the water.
The GoPro Protective Housing offers extra protection to the HERO10. With this protective housing, the already robust housing of the action camera can handle everything. It protects against dust and flying dirt during extreme conditions. In addition, it makes the HERO10 waterproof to 60 meters instead of the original 10 meters. That also makes your HERO10 suitable for deep sea diving.
The GoPro Sleeve + Lanyard Black is a high-quality silicone cover for your GoPro HERO10 action camera. This way you prevent scratches or other damage to the camera. With the cord, you carry the camera around your neck, so you can't lose it on the way. The cord is also easy to remove, then you can attach the HERO10 to a mount with cover and all. It is available in three colours: black, white and blue.
The GoPro The Handler 3.0 helps you to keep your camera better afloat during filming. The floating grip provides stability and control over your shot. If the camera falls into the water with The Handler and all, it not only floats, but is also easy to spot because of the orange part that protrudes above the water. However, that's not likely to happen soon, because the grip is equipped with anti-slip material.
