HERO10 Black

I have a Hero 7 Silver and a Hero 10 Black I bought last weekend. I used the 10 to make a running video yesterday and I can’t believe how much better the stabilization is. It’s an amazing camera so I’d say that’s my favorite.

I’ve had 3 different generations (4,8,10 IINM). My main headache was reliable charging (bad contact, I guess), and starting. Thinking it should be all charged and have it die shortly or not start was super annoying. It could work great, or fail. I’m still getting used to trusting it, since it seems to be behaving.

A 10 is a good option!

I have the GoPro 10 and I really like it for snorkeling and freediving but it has many flaws that the GoPro 13 still has: - The battery lasts half as long as the competition - If it gets hot it turns off and heats up very easily - The app is garbage, I have been paying 50 euros a year since I bought it just for the cloud storage but it is very slow to upload and download files or simply view them even if you are connected to the router by cable. - The competition uses some improvements like automatic color correction with AI (insta360) which really works amazing for diving videos - Automatic GoPro videos are simply taking random pieces of several clicks and putting meaningless music on them - They don't pay attention to the forum or anything you tell them to improve, m. The heating problems have been going on since the first GoPro and something as simple as letting you choose the cover of a video by choosing a frame from the video itself does not let you do it. Anyway, you send them ideas to improve and they don't respond. Honestly, in a few years I will change cameras and go to the competition if GoPro doesn't improve and it doesn't look like it will do so.

First off, use a chest mount. Don't let yourself get hurt by having GoPro mount smash through your skull if you crash. Just look on eBay for a second hand GoPro 10, they will be cheap now.

I use a GoPro 10 camera and a DJI Osmo Action 4. Both have good stabilization, and the 4K 60fps footage is incredible. You can see the results on my YouTube channel. [https://youtube.com/@alaingsadventure?si=wGhYaHDucA12cWZG](https://youtube.com/@alaingsadventure?si=wGhYaHDucA12cWZG)

I have a GoPro 10 and I recently bought a DJI Osmo Action 4, and frankly, the image quality of the Action 4 is superior, even with the same 4K 60fps settings. Not to mention how easy it is to add wireless microphones!

new-ish diver here, i did a lot of research on this recently and ended up deciding that gopros are common for a reason. they’re great! with a $250 budget you can get an older model like a 10 or 11. they are currently on 13 but anything new enough that it has bluetooth/wifi to transfer to your phone is really what you need. i have an 11 and love it.
