SAN MATEO, Calif.,
Sept. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, GoPro (NASDAQ:
GPRO) announced its new flagship camera, HERO10 Black, which
features the company's new high-performance GP2 processor. GP2
delivers breakthrough image quality and blistering video frame
rates that enable HERO10 Black to capture life-like
5.3K video at 60 frames per
second, 4K video at 120 frames per second and 2.7K video at an incredible 240 frames per
second. The new processor also enables HyperSmooth 4.0 video
stabilization, setting a new bar once again and all but ensuring
HERO10 Black captures the smoothest shake-free video you've ever
seen from any camera, regardless of price.
HERO10 Black boasts higher resolution 23 megapixel
photos, improved low-light performance and a significantly
snappier user interface—all thanks to the increased performance of
the camera's new GP2 processor.
HERO10 Black is also cloud connected—when plugged in to
charge, the camera will automatically upload recently captured
footage to your GoPro cloud account. This feature, along with
unlimited cloud backup of your GoPro footage at original quality,
is available for GoPro subscribers for $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year.
HERO10 Black is available at GoPro.com for
$399.98 with an included
one-year GoPro Subscription or $499.99 MSRP without a
subscription.
Existing GoPro subscribers can purchase a value-added
HERO10 Black + Accessory Bundle at subscriber-exclusive
$399.99 pricing
on GoPro.com, representing subscriber savings of $150. The accessory bundle includes an extension
grip with tripod, a magnetic clip mount, a spare battery plus a
32GB SD card.
"HERO10 Black is one of the most impressive cameras in the
world, regardless of price," said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro
founder and CEO. "Congratulations to our product and
engineering teams on creating such a worthy 10th edition of
our beloved HERO camera."
Breakthrough Image Quality and Video
Stabilization
HERO10 Black's all-new
GP2 processor combines with an ultra-high resolution 23.6
megapixel sensor to enable shockingly life-like image
quality. The camera's highest video resolution of 5.3K delivers 91% more resolution than
4K and 665% more resolution
than 1080p HD at an impressive 60 frames per
second—allowing for fluid playback and 2X slow motion. 4K video can be captured at 120 frames per second
(4X slow motion) and 2.7K video can
be captured at 240 frames per second (8X slow motion).
The new GP2 processor also enables improved video
algorithms featuring local tone mapping (LTM) and 3D
noise reduction (3DNR) that capture finer detail, more
realistic textures and better contrast—even in low light.
In addition to 23 megapixel photos, HERO10 Black
enables 19.6 megapixel video stills to be pulled
from 5K 4:3 video at 30 frames per
second and 15.8 megapixel video stills from
5.3K video at 60 frames per
second—ideal for capturing amazing still images of sports and
fast-paced activities.
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.
Faster Access to Your GoPro Content
HERO10
Black offers three ways to conveniently access
your photos and videos, including:
- Auto uploading your most recent footage to your GoPro cloud
account while the camera is charging
- Wireless offloading from the camera to the Quik app at speeds
up to 30% faster than HERO9 Black
- A new USB wired offload option that
transfers content from the camera to the Quik app on your
phone at speeds up to 50% faster than wireless
Plastic-Free Packaging with Reusable Case
GoPro is
committed to environmentally conscious, plastic-free
packaging for all of its products. HERO10 Black's
packaging isn't even packaging per se, rather it's a high-quality,
durable travel case that's designed to fit additional
GoPro mounts and accessories.
"We're as committed to reducing GoPro's impact on the
environment as we are to producing the world's most versatile
cameras and imaging software solutions," said Woodman.
