GoPro Hero 10 Black

The newest GoPro action camera is phenomenal. Like the GoPro 9, the 10 has a selfie view on the front and a touchscreen on the back. It’s super weatherproof and rugged — just what you’ll need for shooting footage in snow or sand. It’s mounted with a folding bracket and has a microSD slot for storage. The GoPro Hero 10 boasts the new GP2 processor, a 23MP sensor, and can capture 5.3K video at 60fps. Say hello to 4K slo-mo.

The packaging is sleek and plastic-free, something most outdoorsy people will certainly appreciate. It’s body style is the same as the Hero 9, which was noticeably bigger than the Hero 8. The trade-off comes with the increased battery life and processing power. With the optional GoPro subscription, you can forget about storage space. Unlimited cloud storage is available through the GoPro app.

GoPro Hero 9 Black

The GoPro Hero 9 was the first GoPro to have a forward facing selfie screen and the Max Lens Mod. It has a removable lens cover and the mount is attached straight to the camera. It has a higher capacity battery than its predecessors, ensuring you won’t need extras for your day trips. You can shoot 20MP photos and 5K video, but you’re limited to 30fps.

If you’re looking for a new GoPro, you’re better off splurging on the Hero 10. It has significant upgrades in all areas that made the Hero 9 stand out.

GoPro Hero 8 Black

The GoPro Hero 8 Black is an all-around upgrade to the popular action camera, in a slightly larger and heavier package than Hero cameras before it. There’s a reason for this though: The Hero 8 Black now includes built-in mounting arms, negating the need for the clip-on frames of Heroes past. It is able to shoot video at up to 4K 60fps, with enhanced stabilization technology (HyperSmooth 2.0) that is available across any resolution or frame rate.

GoPro didn’t just enhance the action camera’s capabilities when it launched the Hero 8 Black. It also brought with it a new, more practical design. It’s slightly bigger and heavier than its predecessor, but that extra size and weight means there is now space for built-in mounting arms, and that means no more additional clip-on frame. It will mount to anything all by itself.

Another significant enhancement to the exterior of the camera allows for the attachment of “mods.” Initially, three mods are available: A Media mod which adds a directional shotgun microphone to the Hero 8 Black; a Light mod which adds an external light which can be attached to the Media mod or stand-alone with other GoPro Mounts; and the Display mod which adds a 2-inch flip-up LCD screen to your GoPro.

GoPro Max

The GoPro Max camera is the company’s newest 360-degree camera and can be thought of as the successor to the Fusion, the company’s previous 360-degree camera offering. You can shoot from either of the 180-degree cameras separately or together, and the stabilization and audio quality of the Max is better than even the Hero 8 thanks to automatic horizon leveling and a total of six microphones in total across the device.

Editing of footage is super easy using GoPro’s app, allowing you reframe the footage in any way you like (we recommend shooting in 360 all the time so you can choose precisely the shot you want). It also has built-in mounting arms like the Hero 8, once again negating the need for additional mounts in many cases.

At only about $100 cheaper than the Hero 8, it’s a good deal — however, we’d warn you that the video quality is not as good as some other 360 cameras, and the “stitching” is not perfect. But that’s somewhat the nature of the 360-degree videography at the moment.

GoPro Hero 7 Black

Before the introduction of the GoPro Hero 8 Black, the Hero 7 Black was the cream of the crop when it came to GoPros. It was the first GoPro to feature the company’s HyperSmooth video stabilization technology. However, with this model, it is only available on select frame rates and resolutions. The Hero 7 Black has a maximum frame rate of 4K 60fps and has a 12-megapixel camera.

A feature known as SuperPhoto intelligently applies HDR and noise reduction to photos taken to ensure the highest quality shots, and it supports live video streaming as well.

GoPro Hero 7 Silver

The Hero 7 Silver is a step down from the Black, with a maximum frame rate of 4K 30fps and a maximum resolution of 10 megapixels, and without the HyperSmooth video stabilization technology that makes the Hero 7 Black so attractive (although it still offers video stabilization, just nowhere near as useful). These differences make the Silver a much more affordable camera however, so the trade-offs might be worth it for those looking to save a little money.

This model has a voice-control feature so you can take timelapse videos hands-free. You can also track your speed, distance, and more as it has a GPS Performance Stickers for showing off how fast, far, and high you went as you did the stunt, making it a worthwhile option for action sports enthusiasts — especially those riding on smoother surfaces (think skiing, snowboarding, and so on).

GoPro Hero 7 White

The Hero7 White was the previous generation entry-level camera but was discontinued after the introduction of the Hero 8 Black. Like the Hero 7 Silver, it has a maximum photo resolution of 10 megapixels, however, the maximum frame rate of the White is only 1080p 60fps. You’ll also lose the GPS Performance Sticker functionality of the Silver, too.

Even so, for those looking for a capable action camera at a good price might find the Hero 7 White a solid alternative.

GoPro Hero 6 Black

Launched, in 2017, the Hero 6 Black was the first GoPro to offer 4K 60fps video and 1080p 240fps video for super slow motion. GoPro claims the Hero 6 Black offers twice the performance of the previous generation with vastly improved image quality. This model also features improved stabilization over previous models, and touch zoom and an improved user interface, making it easier to use than any prior GoPro on the market.

GoPro Hero 5 Black

Launched in 2016, the Hero 5 Black was GoPro’s first new action camera in nearly two years. While these days the camera’s feature set might seem a little pedestrian, at the time the feature set was pretty impressive. The Hero 5 Black was able to shoot 4K video at 30fps, and slow-motion video at 1080p 120fps.

One thing that GoPro addressed with the Hero 5 Black was audio quality, an issue with many action cams. The Hero 5 Black was the first GoPro to offer advanced audio capabilities, with three stereo microphones and noise-canceling technology. The result was much better audio quality than its predecessors.

GoPro Hero (2018)

The GoPro Hero (2018) was marketed as an entry-level camera at the time of its release, marketed as a low-cost alternative to the Hero 6 Series action cameras. It had a maximum frame rate of 1080p 60fps and supports a maximum photo resolution of 10 megapixels. It also included the same image stabilization as the Hero 5 Black.
