GoPro Hero 10 ("X") topic

What is this obsession with low light for an action camera? To show the camera in its "worst light"? Who in their right mind would shoot any video in the conditions in these videos? They are the ugliest videos on the internet, and not just because of the camera. What a great idea, walk and talk on camera at midnight!

If the camera was touted as particularly good for low light - like the Sony a7s ii or iii - then, yes, put it to the test in low light.

Now, how about a video with the R1 underwater, or the Canon R3 on a water ski? Strap a Panasonic S1H on an eagle? RED Komodo held by a skateboarder?

Or how about videos with any of the above cameras running or walking with the camera without a gimbal, in 5K+ resolution?

Shooting at 60 fps gives you smooth motion without needing blurring by lowering shutter speeds. So, having 5.3K 60P is a huge advantage - no sacrifice of resolution, motion smoothness, stabilization. The video was rendered in 5K 60p from the 5.3K originals, so any cropping from stabilization has less of a hit on resolution, if any. This was not your typical GoPro bright blue sky with puffy clouds - it was an overcast day. Shot in the Flat profile.

Lots of motion: of trains, subways, people, moving with camera.

And there are plenty of low-light scenes (underground). The video will play in 5K once YouTube finishes conversions.

How's the 4K 120P slow motion?

Sorry, not shot at night...

The fact of the matter is that GoPros marketing specifically states:

"GP2 has also introduced new algorithms that apply local tone mapping and 3D noise reduction in low light during video capture."

Clearly it's interesting to see how this new 3D noise reduction performs in real life.

@EspenB Oh, that is only GoPro's claim, better low light? And you think it is the most important claim? The only " interesting" claim? And you think it is a worthwhile test to shoot a walk and talk at night? That is a "real life" application? Give me break. How about posting some more overheating videos?

You are full of it this year as well. I don't understand your passive-aggressive behaviour.

The word "only" is only in your posts.

markr041

@EspenB I don't think you understand what passive aggressive means. But your bias, as before, is quite evident.

One of the other new key features of the Hero 10 is that it does 240P video at better than FullHD (2.7K). How good is it really?

markr041

The Hero 10 has a "Linear" mode, which crops the sensor, cutting out those distorted fisheye edges. Obviously, there is a resolution loss, but if one shoots using the full sensor (5.3K) the cropped image should be at least 4K. So, how does linear mode look?

This video was shot in 5.3K, Linear mode, but rendered in 4K (all 60p):

Does your Hero10 overheat? Just shot for 90 sec at a time.

GoPro’s research shows that 75% of videos shot on GoPros are less than a minute and 10 seconds.

Hero 10 Black can record 5.3k at 60 fps for 20 minutes with zero airflow — approximately 16x the average length of a GoPro video.

Further, Hero 10 Black can record 4k at 60fps for 25 minutes with zero airflow — more than 21x the length of an average GoPro video.

In a review for the GoPro Hero 10 Black from GadgetsBoy, the camera was found to overheat and shut down after about 20 minutes of continuous recording.

Processing at high-performance modes requires a lot of power, so GoPro has put safeguards in place to protect consumers and the cameras from overheating when the camera reaches a certain temperature. The HERO10 is engineered to support what we know a majority of HERO owners use the camera for: to shoot shorter clips in environments with natural airflow.

GoPro’s research shows that 75% of videos shot on GoPros are less than a minute and ten seconds. HERO10 Black can record 5.3k at 60 fps for 20 minutes with zero airflow — approximately 16x the average length of a GoPro video. HERO10 Black can record 4k at 60fps for 25 minutes with zero airflow — more than 21x the length of an average GoPro video.

So for the filming scenario when long clips at highest resolutions in a static environment are required, we recommend taking the necessary steps to provide some airflow. This will improve the camera’s thermal performance and allow for longer video capture.

No overheating, in theses hot tunnels with many over 30-second clips, all at 5.3K 60P.

Good video on overheating:

Anamorphic GoPro, with the $79 Skyreat Anamorphic lens.

See the flares!

The lens replaces the GoPro lens cover on the Hero 9 and Hero 10. You need to shoot in Linear mode to avoid vignetting. A 1.25X stretch of pixels correctly de-squeezes in post.
