Last year GoPro did a complete overhaul of its Hero action camera lineup with the GoPro Hero9 . It added a front-facing screen, 5K filming, and more battery life. This year’s GoPro Hero10 is an iterative update that builds on the foundation laid by the 9.

The GoPro Hero10 Black is an exciting, if not overwhelming, update to the world’s most popular action camera. While internal electronics are never the most exciting of upgrades, the performance they bring often is. The GP2 delivers overall improved performance, and that has to be a good thing.
