GoPro HERO10 Black- E-Commerce Packaging - Waterproof Action Camera with Front LCD & Touch Rear Screens, 5.3K60 Ultra HD Video

I purchased the GoPro HERO 10 Black for my 21-year-old son for Christmas (2024). He took the camera with us to Celebrate New Years 2025 in Hawaii.You have to purchase a memory card - this package does not come with one. You have to perform the original camera battery charge without the memory card installed. Once the memory card had video / picture data saved, the camera could be charged with the memory card still installed but would not charge with a blank formatted memory card.The camera functioned beyond expectations on our boy's trip to Hawaii and my son captured some AMAZING underwater video / pictures of:1. Green Sea Turtles while snorkeling down to about 30-feet (while maintaining required distance fromthe Turtles) in the Ocean off Oahu2. Volcano activities in Volcano National Park - Hawaii (Big Island)3. Humpback Whales surfacing and breaching off Maui4. Multiple Waterfalls (swam out to and in those that were allowed), "Jungle" hikes, and underwater fishat several beaches along the Road to Hana - MauiAlong with numerous days of typical camera action (Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, Black Sand Beach, New Years Celebration (Honolulu), etc.)The battery lasted a considerable time - easily handling 8-10 hours of on/off use on a single charge. Our iPhones needed more charging than the GoPro HERO 10 Black. The integrated LCD was nice to ensure images and framing was accurate and the ability to link to an iPhone was useful for multiple selfies and remote camera operations (being able to set the camera outside all the tourist arms and heads and activate / control filming was beneficial). My son tested (on purpose) the floating adventure stick / handle and found it functioned well with the camera (and underwater enclosure) attached -- never needed it, but was good to know it did float with the camera attached.My son also enjoyed that the GoPro auto produced summary videos of each day of our trip from the pictures and videos he took on each day. He even more enjoyed that GoPro allowed him to create and edit video on-the-fly. He is considering purchasing the upgrade subscription to allow for more detailed / technical editing.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Underrated GoPro. LOVE mine!!!! My Hero 4 was crap and because of that I swore off GoPros ever since. Then I saw this 10 for a decent price and HOT DARN I’m blown away! I’m going to get a few more…

Great go pro

I’ve spent hours researching this very know issue, tried every different setting, even bought a mobile charger, nothing works. When filming at 70%, 80%, even 90%+ charge, the camera automatically shuts down after a few seconds and says it’s because of “low battery”.There are no solutions. No firmware update, setting combo, temp control, etc. that fixes this. And reading online this is clearly an overwhelmingly common issue. The only explanation is that gopro (and this Amazon vendor) sell faulty devices, whether it be old batteries that don’t work, or camera products that don’t work.Here’s just one gopro thread of this from 2 years ago still with no solution and ppl still at their wits end as recently as weeks ago.Based on the countless people reporting that they are experiencing this issue for years, and no solution, I can only assume that gopro & this vendor know of the issue and just continue to sell these products that flat out do not work.What’s so frustrating is that I bought this for the sole purpose of filming a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list vacation with my family. Every time there was an amazing filming opportunity the product failed. While we were able to capture some of the moments with run of the mill smartphones, we lost out on so much because of this product. That pales in comparison to the $500+ spent and wasted.GoPro is living off legacy brand recognition and marketing budget that will likely bury this review, like so many others. But if you do happen to read this, buyer beware!! Definitely look elsewhere unless you also want a very expensive useless brick.

works great

I'm sorry - I took one look at all the parts in the bags that come with the Go Pro and just thought 'I'm not up for this'Sent it back for a refund. I'm sure it's a very good product - I know lots of people who have one and the resultsare very impressive.

Very easy to use

I love mine. It has been super user friendly, reliable and a lot of fun. I got the additional battery pack and charger. The batteries last about 1.5 hours give or take depending on video quality so being able to stop to hot swap a battery has been great. When I stop the video, I can just splice the next video to make a seamless transition on a video editor app after. Defiantly recommend. Especially for the price.
