Great video comparison. In watching this on a true 4K screen the image quality is MUCH closer. In fact there are many examples where the Hero 9 actually looks better ( Low Light, etc ) The additional sharpness of the Hero 10 looks better on smaller screens but look much worse on full resolution screens. Digital sharpness is NOT more detail. It just adds a contrast border around all the image edges that you can't get rid of in post. Oddly the Hero 9 ( especially in Flat Profile ) is a much cleaner image by far. Also in Flat profile, the Hero 9 disables the beauty filter so color grading is much easier. I would suggest that if you really need the higher frame rates, the Hero 10 makes sense to upgrade. If you don't, the image quality using the Flat Profile on the Hero 9 actually produces a better overall image.
03:46 - Exactly what I needed to know. I just shot an indoor video (well lit) with the Hero 9 and the 'face smoothing' is horrendous. I'm very pleased to hear that this is gone on the Hero 10.
The 3D Noise Reduction is implemented with oversampling: Try low light in 4K 30 and 1080p 60p, huge improvement over 5,3K with the same ISO. (however 4K 60, 1080p 30 will not be better, different sensor readout)
@@Gadgetdad007 That doesn't really make any sense. I'm guessing you are either a failed comedian, or to young to understand that alcohol doesn't cause shakes.
I'm trying to record the driving experience in Bali using this camera, still exploring to get the perfect setting and shoot from this MountMedia channel. Thanks for sharing your camera exploration. However, I'm still struggling with the UA-cam compression artifact. It's really downgrading the image quality once it's uploaded.
Checkin on a larger screen you can see big advantages of the 10 compared to the 9. Indeed foliage is brighter and appears more true to its real color and the skin tones are much better. Also add the snappiness of the operation because of the new processor and the conclusion is that we have a winner. I am getting the 10. I'm sold. Thanks again for your effort to show this to us.
Hi Werner, I'm still not clear on 'SHARPNESS'. What do you suggest is best? Especially if you're not going to post process your video? I actually like the look of High Sharpness. Or have I got it wrong?
Nice. I just bought it. Good improvements over my hero 8. I like the faster write speed of burst still photos and 19 megapixel screen grabs from 5.3k. Good features for diving. I wish in low light it was better. Sometimes where I dive it can be dark at the bottom. The natural colors look so much better than the old gopro vibrant colors that I may not need to shoot flat. Why do you think there was less detail on the wall in your flat mode sample? Just less digital sharpening? I had considered the 1 inch insta one r. But colors look like a cartoon, it seems buggy and even more expensive. At the end you can make great content with this gopro. It’s up to the photographer
I think hypersmooth has, and continues to be useful.. But... Yeah, what you obviously don't see in the promotional materials is that ever so slight (basically imperfect) smearing effect that you see when there is not enough light for the algorithm to work with. Its impressive, please don't get me wrong, but for example, I used to try hypersmooth on Low (hero 8), on the brightest of sunny days, using any kind of ND filter (even as low as 8), made the smearing effect. Basically I found it pretty hard to marry any ND filter with hypersmooth.
Really interesting video! I think, if you're not using it for action sports, iPhone is a much better option overall. GoPro has really lost it when they decided to stick to a 1/2.3" sensor, same size for years now, in a world where even smartphones have long moved away from such a tiny sensor. Let's wait for the new DJI Pocket 2, as the rumors point to a larger sensor.
100% correct! I purchased this camera and was shocked by how terrible the image quality was. I sent it back immediately as my iPhone has much better image quality.
I just got home at 10pm from a MTB trail ride testing my NEW Hero 10 shooting 4K @ 60fps. It was pitch dark, using a 1600 Lumens bike light. Well the video sucks being the video is blurry. Once I stopped it cleared up. I had the same issue with my 9. I was expecting some improvement with the 10 per their ad: "enhanced low-light performance and game-changing HyperSmooth 4.0 video stabilization in all modes" Don't expect that if you are on a dark bumpy trail.
Did you use, fixed settings? Or letting the gopro descide. For fixed settings, like schuttertime and iso will improve image. But you need to play with it. Also 60fps is pretty high for evening. 24 25 30 is bether option. But play with the settings, and see what works. Standerd rule. If your fps is like 30 shutterneeds to be on 1/60. Best is double up for nice motion blur. Have fun :)
@@thefpvcompany Thanks and yes, in the past I have played around with the fps and the ISO setting etc. The night ride shots are more blurry riding on trails than my 9. This is a video I shot with my 9 @ 4k 60fps = ua-cam.com/video/ilZAjyNu9z8/v-deo.html
Advice please! I bought Hero 10 and image is crap. Heavy compression artefacts. However, it is all set to highest values (5.3k, high bitrate, flat profile, hevc….). Image is total mush! No details! My Hero 6 looks better! Am I missing something? Thanks!
Exceptional work! For me, however, putting the Hero 10 on my KTM 500 EXC-F with Horizon Leveling with standard Hypersmooth in comparison to the Hero 9 is like night and day --->And no lag on the menu, plus bootup time is important to me! Yet, IMO, it does appear that GoPro simply upgraded their software a little, replaced the GP1 to a GP2 chip, and is basically using 99% of the GoPro 9's camera sensor, body, and hardware. A bit overpriced too, but I can' say that I am unhappy.
All the videos on UA-cam that compare these two cameras appear on me in hero 10 have a problem with image stabilization when it comes to normal walking except you showed the opposite
Il vero upgrade potrebbe essere la maggior reattività della cam senza più i blocchi della stessa e il touch che non risponde velocemente. In condizioni di luminosità scarsa vedo sempre i soliti risultati. Bene la ripresa del volto; più dettagliato e senza dettagli spalmati. Vale la pena passare dalla hero 7 altrimenti penso un upgrade modesto.
It looks like the 10 has more yellow in the greens which is much better then with the 9. GoPros green was a bit murky before this is better. Thanks for the interesting video.
Pour ceux qui ont des problèmes de surchauffe avec la Hero 10 (cela arrive bien moins souvent avec la 9), voici la réponse de Gopro : "Le traitement en mode haute performance nécessite beaucoup d'énergie, c'est pourquoi GoPro a mis en place des protections pour protéger les consommateurs et les caméras contre la surchauffe lorsque la caméra atteint une certaine température. La HERO10 est conçue pour prendre en charge ce pour quoi nous savons qu'une majorité de propriétaires de HERO utilisent la caméra : tourner des clips plus courts dans des environnements avec un flux d'air naturel. Les recherches de GoPro montrent que 75 % des vidéos tournées avec des GoPros durent moins d'une minute et dix secondes. La HERO10 Black peut enregistrer 5,3k à 60 ips pendant 20 minutes sans flux d'air, soit environ 16 fois la durée moyenne d'une vidéo GoPro. La HERO10 Black peut enregistrer 4k à 60 ips pendant 25 minutes sans débit d'air, soit plus de 21 fois la durée moyenne d'une vidéo GoPro. Ainsi, pour le scénario de tournage où de longs clips aux plus hautes résolutions dans un environnement statique sont nécessaires, nous recommandons de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour fournir un certain flux d'air. Cela améliorera les performances thermiques de la caméra et permettra une capture vidéo plus longue."
Hero 10 is very disappointed. Bland and blurry. Since I have gone back to bought my 3rd Hero 8. I have 3 Hero 8 all pretty sharp great colour and Hero 7 is better than Hero 10

I'm so happy with the GoPro hero 10, it's not a huge leap from the 9 but from the 8 it is definitely worth it
Awesome and very well put together comparison! Thanks you! 🎉❤

Ok. I'll try it out. Thx for the info.
wow great job putting together this video, thanks a lot for so much useful information!!
I got the complete oposite results regarding stabilisation comparing my hero 10 with my hero 9. I feel sadly that the hero 10 is more shaky. :(
Stop drinking alcohol 🤣

If you like that look, just go with medium on the Hero 10
Thank you for a very worthwhile comparison.
Thank you! Very informative and straight to the point!
Super comparison! Many thx.
Great review! Thanks for work you did.
thank you king how did you do the job in my opinion better gopro 10 black sharper clearer picture i am buying gopro 10 black 👍💪🏆🥇

No, if you shoot flat some of the detail gets lost - it's not just the digital sharpness. The reason is the compression of the video file.
@@MountMediaChannel interesting and strange. It defeats the purpose of shooting flat to preserve more tonal detail, but you lose fine detail.
Thanks for information sir..

Yes, the electronic stabilization needs a sharp image!

Can you please make a comparison video GOPRO 10 vs INSTA360 GO 2?
Great honest video 👍
Great comparison… I have read many reviews on the 10 black overheating.
I went with the hero 9 black
I found one with a deal with a case etc all for $300. Has an Xtra battery and remote with it. So I'm guessing I randomly chose right?

I ordered a 9 black due to all the reviews on how the 10 overheats
@@AdventureTomek welp I'm glad I found a bundle for the hero 9. I keep mine in a divers case when atv riding.

I am curious about touch panel? Still it is lag like Hero9 or in Hero 10 now touch panel working normal ?
Yes, the touch screen is fine, much better than on the Hero 9
what country is that?
Italy
No doubt excellent information
Good Review 👍
very useful Video 🙏
I think Gopro Hero 9 is Better Color Quality and image stabilization
Which city is that? beautiful place ❤️
Merano, Italy
It looks like the 10 has more yellow in the greens which is much better then with the 9. GoPros green was a bit murky before this is better. Thanks for the interesting video.
I can get a hero 9 for 200 or a hero 10 for 380 what would you say is more worth it?
Difficult - the Hero 10 is already more reliable and the touch screen is also much better!
@@MountMediaChannel is it worth the £180 difference though?
I would like to know how different under water of those

They look pretty equal to me .. and hero 10 when zoomed looks worst then the hero 9, and the color & noise on the 10 is worst when zoomed

Short and quick answer is No!
Love from kerala❤
Hero 10 is very disappointed.
Bland and blurry. Since I have gone back to bought my 3rd Hero 8.
I have 3 Hero 8 all pretty sharp great colour and Hero 7 is better than Hero 10
Peter mckinnon puts gopro on a dirt bike and still FULLY stabalized but here in the running shot its not ... #confused.
Hi, I didn't see his video - but if you mount the GoPro on a chest mount there are clearly less shakes than with this running test
