First Impression
In a hurry and looking for the gist of things? Here is our review in short. Keep reading for the entire version.
The GoPro action camera line needs no introduction and the Hero10 is its latest version. They are synonymous with sports videos and the lightweight, compact design is perfect for divers.
It takes absolutely superb videos that are on par with many mid-range to higher-end mirrorless cameras out there at a mere fraction of the price.
I’d even go as far as to say if video is the only focus, you could get by easily with just a GoPro, a housing, and some filters.
Completely foolproof to use, it’s good to go right after unpacking and charging it. No fancy settings, no learning the shutter speeds or lense options.
Just turn it on and capture your best underwater moments in an instant.
Here are some super cool examples from around the world:
If I had to find anything wrong with it, it would be the fact that photos are not its strong suit. But then again…you don’t buy hiking boots for scuba diving or scuba fins for skiing.
The GoPro Hero10 is the best action camera on the market and the perfect entry into the world of underwater videography.
