The 7 has Hyper Smooth for stabilized footage. It’s a great camera. 4K looks amazing still to this day.
Did you use Hypersmooth on the hero 7? Looks like the stabilization was not turned on
Thanks Matt - always look forward to your reviews…Enjoying my Z9 out here in Seattle! Keep up the great work
I still have my GoPro Hero 7 black which I use to record my morning walks. It has everything I need.
I have the same camera and since I'm not into crazy stunts any more, this hero 7 suits me perfect
Great review! Keep the reviews coming!
Thanks Matt. An interesting review. I had a number of GoPros way back with the 1, 2, 4 & 6 but stopped for a while and foolishly sold them all off. I restarted 15 months ago and bought the 9. At the time several reviewers were criticising it for shutting down in the way you mention with your 10, however, a firmware update came out about the time I bought mine and resolved the issue - certainly I have never had an issue with it. One thing I particularly like is that the colour balance of the clips shot with my GoPro 9 fits well with footage shot on my Nikon Z9 and Z7iis, however, footage shot with my iPhone 12 MAX Pro has a very noticeably different image and doesn't fit well without considerable colour grading so I tend not to use that despite its sometimes convenience! Now that might make a video subject for you - mixing / comparing footage from Z cameras with GoPros and iPhones!!
As far as the 10 shutting off, I would recommend flipping the mounting feet out. The lack of airflow on the bottom is what's killing your long-run recordings. It also seemed like the settings for the 10 were a little bit off compared to the others, but I don't have your raw files, so I can't really compare that.
Great comparison Matt 👏! I love my GP10 with zero issues at all after shooting many TB of footage, although I like the quality of your GP9 files better in your video's.. Seems the zooming is a bit inconsistent in your GP 10 video's. Anyway, I don't like that the camera's get bulkier overtime, GoPro should downsize and release a new Session 11 model with 2022 tech and minimise design. Camera's should also have bluetooth audio-in for external mikes. (which is already build in technology and could be easily introduced with a fw update) Let's see what GoPro will bring out this month! Next video suggestion: Z 30 vs. New Gopro 🙃
I owned both GoPro 9 & 10 but I never have any over heat issues with either one of them. No doubt the 10 gets very hot. But, I never put any of my GoPros on a flat surface with the mounting feet folding inside “which will trap the heat” and causing overheat. I highly recommend “ALWAYS” mount your GoPro on a tripod or a stick so the heat can dissipate from the bottom.
Agreed 100%.
Hi sir. Iam confused with go pro 9 and go pro 10. Please suggest me which one to buy.
@@DARSHGOWDA Hello, although both the GoPro 9 & 10 are great action cam (especially the 9). But, if I were you I will go with the new GoPro 12 instead. It has the newer nicer user interface and better upgrade from the 9 & 10. I’ve tested the GoPro 12 for weeks and it’s a great cam with some new added features. Good luck with your choice!
@@TubTechGuru Thank you sir
@@DARSHGOWDA You’re welcome! I hope it help.
From my experience, the 10 overheats (on hot days) and eats batteries in 5.3k mode. If you crank it down to 4k it works fine, even in 60fps (unless it's really hot). Not saying you should have to do that, but if you own one already, it's worth a try.
I like the 10 for slow motion, but my workhorse is the 7 black on an Inkee Falcon Plus gimbal. I have the 8 and the 10, but the 7 on a gimbal gives me the best footage and I like the size of the body. The Inkee Falcon Plus is also nice and small. Works for me.
Been using the Hero 10 for close to a year and it's great. I have 2 of them and have used them extensively recording my mountain bike videos. The 9 crashed frequently and I can't remember the last time the 10 crashed. Never had issues with over-heating but that could be due to I'm moving while recording.
The 10 has been the most reliable in terms of not locking up. The touch screen is a little more responsive. Overall i would suggest only getting the 10 if you need a new GoPro. Agreed the function is not worth it between 8,9,10 for most users. Some have better luck, but the 9 would sometimes trash the recording
Great video.
Thanks
I think I'm leaning 8 I might need some stabilization if it's mounted to the frame of a diesel tractor. I'll see what's listed where.
I had gopro 8 black for only 3 days back in end of 2019. It fell from 10 stories height because the suction mount failed while I shot sunset time lapse. The screen was dead, but It still could record via phone, so it was total loss.
Fortunately I bought insurance protection, and it covered almost 95% from the camera price. 😅
Hey! Im not sure whether to pick the 8 or the 9. I need a GoPro to use for motorcross and speedway riding and for diving once a year. Which one do you recommend?
Thanks Matt, this is really timely. I'm still struggling along with a Hero 5 Session, which is ok but doing anything at all on it is really painful with the tiny LCD and two-button menu navigation. The Hero 9 Black sounds like a very appealing upgrade, based on what you've said here. So thanks again!
Get the 8, the 9 is crap.
@@muffinV136 why is crap? i think of buying one
With this 10 shutting down due to battery issues, could this be corrected with firmware you think? Did the model you test have the latest firmware installed?
What is best action camera ??? Which u suggest??
I got 2 of the GoPro 10 and haven’t met the issue so severe as you did with the 10!!! 😦
Yes, they both overheated in turns while I was recording in Malawi in may. But that was 5.3K recording in 35+ C degrees and they where on constantly. I used one at the time for my B-roll. Battery life is poor (I agree) … maybe that is why they have new batteries for it now!? I will get two of the new ones!
Then about overheating… I live in Sweden 🇸🇪 … maybe that is why it only occurred when I was I Malawi. :)
In your honest opinion, should I stick to my gopro hero 7 black or upgrade to 10/11?
Unfortunately the low light ability on the 9 seems awful. Idk why you didn't mention that.
Nice video idea, Matt!
After a quick research, I bought the 8 recently, which seemed the best value/money.
hey are you happy with your decision? do you still suggest for value/money?
I own the 7 and the 10, weirdly I find the image quality in 10 so far quite better than the 7, especially in the darker environment. I find that the 7 has tremendous iso blocky noise that ruins a lot of my shots. I don't know if it is pixel compression but they are significantly in large number and was plaguing my footage in the past. But the 10 has it flaws too, I experienced worst than overheat issue, I experienced corruptions, and total shut downs of the 10 in the first week of useage to the point it was unusable. When I tried to get support online, there was chances that I had a dud device so I exchanged the Gopro 10 for a brand new after 2 weeks and since then I experienced very minor flaws, even in very hot weather days. So it appear in my conclusion that QA is very deficient at Gopro, tons of people reporting corrupt/malfunctions/overheat but there's also people that experience none of them.
Was looking for a dash cam for my car (found out through research, that all actual dash cams are junk...) so I looked into picking up a GoPro and most of the online reviews of the 10 matched what you found.
Used my Hero 8 as a dash cam many times with great success. Never leave it behind unattended.
Even the Hero 5 is good for dash cam
@@huevitopipihead oh really? I never knew it could do that. Huh. I learn something new we everyday.
Anything to dislike about gopro5? I'm trying to figure out which one is best for vlogging, POV driving? And I also would like to use it for dash cam only if possible
I got the 10 because it has the new processor and hopefully will have more firmware updates. the 8 was off the table b/c you can't replace the lens protector, which I find pretty stupid for an action cam. but ya the 10 overheats at the drop of a hat....
What software are folk using to process the video?
Battery life on my Hero 9 is not good. I’m surprised how fast it eats a battery. I think GoPro has reached that point where they need to work on that to catch up with their technology.
Very helpful for those buying. Got to wonder how they can be selling a new model that’s worse 🤷🏼♂️
Greed.
I do not know how this 'group think' has started about the GOPRO 10!.....I've been using the 10 since it was first released, and I got the battery door where you can plug an external battery via USB C....and I NEVER had an overheating issue with that battery door. I did a 3 hour ride on an all terrain bike on an 80 degree day along the C&O canal trail in DC/MD/VA, with an external battery pack connected to the 10, and it did not overheat at all.....When does the 10 overheeat??..... I've had overheating issues with the battery door that came with the camera, which makes sense because the processor in the 10 generates more heat than the previous versions and that heat is not dissipated as easily as the previous versions....plus.... if you do not use the camera as an ACTION CAMERA (cycling, my use/ extreme sports, any activities that involve CONTINUOUS MOVEMENT), then it will overheat. These cameras were not meant to be used as just stationary cams. If you do use them as non-action cams, replace the battery door with a door that allows USB-C external connections.....that hole for the connection also acts as a way to dissipate the heat the cam generates.
Glad it works for you. All cameras were tested same way, only it overheated and shut down due to power issues.
I agree the Hero 10 gets really hot, but it's an action camera. Normally you would use it with fast paced sports, in water and not sitting still and then you won't have these kind of issues. The last night shots were a part of a long shot? Could it be the Gopro 10 was really hot? That would be really negative for the low light performance, causing more noise.
I mostly use the GoPros on FPV drones or with kitesurfing, which is where these kind of cameras are perfect.
May I get your opinion on which GoPro is better for POV driving vlogging? 🤔
The 10 is the best one so far. I've owned GoPro since the 5. The 10 has the best of everything. 2.7K @240 fps and still in wide field of view. 5.3K @60 fps, the pictures it takes are so natural and clear. I have zero issues with this device. It connects to the app smoothly and fast, the stabilization is great. I had the 8 before the 10 and it's a massive upgrade. Can't compare the 2 at all. 10 is the way to go
does this mean the hero7 wouldnt be ideal for motovlog?
Record in flat then edit it. You will see hero 7 still blasts other models except on low light shots, higher aperture models do make a difference
The 7 doesn't judder like that lol. I don't have one but seen many on here
Even the gopro 6 doesn't look worse than the Gopro 10.
Time for GoPro to introduce some serious updates like 10 bit support.
That 10 is a lemon, my 10 is pretty amazing. They shouldn't have rushed the 10.
Why put out thus video weeks before the new generation is due to launch? I have a 10 and use it regularly for mountain biking have yet to have it overheat.
Because it’s ready
Hello Matt! How is your China residency going?
Plans for another move in the future?
Hong Long is going great thanks. No plans to move currently.
I've been following since the Australia days! Thanks for the time and effort you put into your content 🙏
Bought the 8 recently for value for money, though I was tempted by the 9. Definitely didn't think the 10 was worth it.
7:20 Where is sample files?
is it me the 10 had best picture?
I found 10 much more reliable than 9 and 8, the procesor is new and the touch screen is like on a smart phone, very responsive and accurate(on the 9 was very laggy). Not to mention the hero 9 was soooooo unreliable.. It just freeze when you need the camera most. With my hero 10, I had zero issues so far. Thats my experiance.
Great! Not my experience though. Never had a 9 freeze
@@mattgranger I think the thing with a gopro cameras is, that they are not very consistent.. you can get a good or a bad copy.. something like sigma lenses til 2008..
well done
A lot of drone pilots still use the 8 becuase it's the best of the lighter, smaller models and you can get 'naked' kits for it to make it weigh like 30g
I’m thinking I’d have to try another 10 beside that one before I could put the fault on the model.
Maybe it’s just me but that would be more conclusive.
Nah, not reliable the tests for me. You could be using a flat profile, instead of gopro for saturation, using Telesin batteries, and so on. I don’t think all the models were on the same conditions. Also the previous 3 versions have more developed software, I own the three of them. By this time last year, the 9 sucked and kept shutting down. Now it runs perfectly (which sucks by gopro cause they give us an unfinished product always). Nice video though, but can’t believe you.
I have the 10 and don't like it as much as the 9. Overheats all the time. 11 due soon.
Happy with my GoPro 10… my first one so your don’t buy advice does not apply to me I suspect - but good side by side review.
The gopro 7 black has much better anti-shake than your comparison video, it is no different from the go 8 black, are you confused or biased towards it.
Ok boss
good
And I still use my Hero 3+ 😅
upon my experience 7 is full with bugs. 8 can't replace the lens so it's not even in consideration. 9 baterry is absolute shit and having now the 10 I'd say is the best, especially with 23MP and I didn't have any issues with shooting hours. These tests are really subjective in my opinion Matt^^
I agree. I have zero issues with the 10 too. Very reliable
I use a 10 for my mountain biking. Never had the camera overheat or lock up. I only turn on connections wifi/Bluetooth when needed and don't run at maximum resolution/fragrances unless required. 4k@30fps is my go to for most chest mounted ride footage. Often have the cam running constantly until battery drains. Most of these cases with camera getting hot the tester is running max res/framrate all functions on, front screen on and sat on table with legs closed.
USB 3 and 3.1 is the same thing. 3.2 is faster
3.2 Gen 2 😅
you lied. 7 has good stabilization. You have just turned it OFF for your video!
No I didn’t.
For me i think the Go Pro Hero 8 and Hero 9 are Better .....
footage from 8 and 9 looks the best..but 8 is overexposing some times. What happened to 10? Night shot from 10 is a complete rubbish!
Gopro 9 Black is much better for me
They’re reliable… lololol
Ok I won’t! Jesus! Lol
Hero 11 is around the corner.
Is it really. From what go pro mentioned earlier in the year they will be launching a number of cameras. Mabe going back to having 2/3 models with different features like the did with earlier generations. Who actually knows? All the gooro 11 leak videos have nothing other than pictures of a camera with hero 11 that looks identical to the 10.
Yeah don’t buy the 10, 11 is just around the corner
I've owned my 10 since launch (I also use daily, mounted on my motorcycle helmet) and have not experienced any of the issues you had. You definitely bought a lemon, which makes your review useless. Sorry but thumbs down.
10 is definitely the best by most other reviewers.
I’ve had many viewers write in that they have heating issues, so it’s not only our experience.
@@mattgranger of course there's always issues with a batch of any product, the 9 had reported issues and even MANY iPhones have problems BUT the vast majority (98%+) do not have issues. Now if you would've tested out multiple 10s and they all had issues then your review would have some credibility.
