SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, GoPro
(NASDAQ: GPRO) announced a new high-performance battery for HERO10
and HERO9 Black cameras that significantly increases cold
temperature performance and extends video recording times in all
conditions. The Enduro battery will be available for purchase at
GoPro.com on November 30 and more
information is available here.
HERO10 Black Firmware Update + New Battery Improves Cold Temp
Performance, Extends Recording Times in All Conditions
GoPro also announced a firmware update for HERO10 Black that
enables longer video recording times and extends battery life even
with the camera's existing standard battery. The firmware update
will be available by the end of October and HERO10 Black owners can
update their cameras using the Quik app.
The Enduro battery will be available as a $24.99 spare battery upgrade and features
revolutionary technology that dramatically improves HERO10 and
HERO9 Black camera performance in cold temperatures (snow sports,
for example) while also significantly extending recording times in
moderate temperatures.
At a battery temperature of 14F / -10C (note: this is the
battery's temperature, it can be even colder outside), with HERO10
Black the Enduro battery enables, on average, 56 minutes of 5.3K60
video, 50 minutes of 4K120 video, 76 minutes of 4K60 video and 115
minutes of 1080p30 video recording.
Enduro also significantly increases video recording time in
moderate temperatures. For example, with HERO10 Black during
typical outdoor activities at a temperature of 77F / 25C, the
Enduro battery enables, on average, a total of 60 minutes of 5.3K60
video (a 28% improvement over the standard battery), a total of 51
minutes of 4K120 video (a 40% improvement over the standard
battery), a total of 71 minutes of 4K60 video (a 13% improvement
over the standard battery) and a total of 120 minutes of 1080p30
video recording per charge.
And HERO10 Black's new firmware update, slated for release by
end of October, introduces three "Video Performance Modes" that
make it easy to maximize your HERO10's performance depending on
your use case:
- Maximum Video Performance – Maximum resolution and frame rates
for the very best image quality and ultra-slow-motion video.
- Extended Battery – Optimal resolutions and frame rates for the
longest possible video recording times and maximum battery
life.
- Tripod / Stationary Video — Optimized for recording long video
clips at the highest resolutions and frame rates when the camera is
stationary without motion or airflow to cool the camera. GPS and
HyperSmooth video stabilization are turned OFF in this mode.
The following is what users can expect to achieve, on average,
in Tripod / Stationary Video mode when recording a single
continuous clip at a temperature of 77F / 25C in static situations
without movement or airflow to cool the camera:
- 5.3K60 – 47% more runtime than previous for an average of 29
minute-long clips
- 5.3K30 – 11% more runtime than previous for an average of 44
minute-long clips
- 4K120 – 52% more runtime than previous for an average of 26
minute-long clips
- 4K60 – 154% more runtime than previous for an average of 63
minute-long clips
- 4K30 – 35% more runtime than previous for an average of 50
minute-long clips
A future firmware update will enable even longer clip lengths in
5.3K30 and 4K30. And if important for your use case, 2.7K and 1080p will enable even longer single
clip recording times than above in either Extended Battery or
Maximum Video Performance modes.
The HERO10 firmware update will be available by the end of
October and HERO10 Black owners can update their cameras using the
Quik app.
