2021: Hero10 Black

On September 16, 2021, GoPro introduced the flagship Hero10 Black camera with the ability to shoot smooth videos, which is equipped with a high-performance GP2 processor and video stabilization system HyperSmooth 4.0.

"Congratulations to our team of developers and engineers on the creation of the 10th version of the Hero camera," - said Nicholas Woodman, founder and CEO of the GoPro.

Image quality and video stabilization

The GP2 Hero10 Black processor, combined with an ultra-high resolution 23.6 megapixel matrix, provides realistic image quality. Resolution of 5.3K video at 60 frames per second gives smooth playback and double deceleration. 4K video can be captured at 120 frames per second (4x deceleration), and 2.7K video - 240 frames per second (8x deceleration).

The GP2 processor uses noise suppression (3DNR) and local tone mapping (LTN) algorithms, thereby achieving a detailed picture, realistic textures and optimal contrast even in low light.

In addition to 23-megapixel photos, Hero10 Black allows you to extract 19.6-megapixel stop frames from 5K video in 4:3 format and 15.8-megapixel stop frames from 5.3K video - an opportunity to create static shots of sports and dynamic scenes.

Stabilizing video GoPro received an update to version HyperSmooth 4.0, so the Hero10 Black has the ability to smooth out a fairly strong shaking. By increasing the angle of inclination from 27 to 45 degrees, the built-in horizon leveling function is improved, which allows even chaotic rollers to look smooth and stable.

Quick access to content GoPro

Hero10 offers 2 ways to easily access photos and videos: wireless uploading from the camera to the Quik application (30% faster than the Hero9); unloading function via -. USBcable Allows you to transfer content from the camera to the Quik application at phone a speed of up to 50% faster than the default. wireless networks

Green and multifunctional packaging

GoPro adheres to the principles of environmentally friendly packaging without the use of plastic for all its products. Hero10 Black packaging is a durable road case in which you can place additional GoPro fasteners and accessories.

"We aim to reduce the impact of GoPro on the environment just as we strive to produce universal cameras and software solutions for content processing," noted Nick Woodman.

2018: Announcement GoPro Hero 7. Smooth video without stabilizers

On September 20, 2018, the presentation of the new series of action cameras GoPro Hero 7 took place. The manufacturer claims that the flagship apparatus is able to shoot smooth videos without additional stabilizers.

The new line includes the Hero 7 White, Silver and Black models, which cost $199, $299 and $399, respectively. Their sales will begin on September 27, 2018.

The level of technical equipment of digital cameras differs according to the price. For example, the most expensive version is equipped with a special processor GoPro, supports recording 4K video with a frame rate of 60 k/s and super slow shooting (in Full HD format at a speed of 240 k/s), includes a set of new features, such as streaming content playback on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo and the analogue Hyperlapse  (creating accelerated video fragments in professional quality).

GoPro Hero 7 Silver

One of the main innovations is the presence of HyperSmooth technology, which has become a GoPro big step forward in terms of image stabilization. The technology is based on an electronic analogue, trimming the edges of the image to compensate for jitter. Internal sensors help in predicting the movement of the camera. According to reviews, the new mode allows you to achieve the steedicam effect even when running or jumping. Stabilization works with strong vibration, shocks, wind and even underwater.

Action Camera Line GoPro Hero 7

The HyperSmooth function does not exist in other representatives of the Hero 7 series. In addition, they cannot boast of such high shooting rates as the flagship. For example, Hero 7 Silver takes 4K content at a maximum speed of 30 k/s, and Hero 7 White does not have the resolution of the recorded video outside the 2K format.

All digital cameras have a waterproof housing and a touch-sensitive color display. In Hero7 Black there are three microphones, in the rest - two.^[1]
