The redesign also allows for new add-on "Mods," which increase the functionality of the camera through external mics, lights, and more. You no longer need to use a case if you want to attach it to accessories, such as a tripod or helmet mount. Unfortunately, it also means that cases and lens adapters you had for older GoPros won't work with this model. The Hero8 Black was the first GoPro to have its mounting "fingers" built directly into the camera, which makes it a bit easier to attach accessories. That means it costs the same as the Hero9 Black, making it a no-brainer choice between the two.
Price-wise, GoPro has heavily discounted the Hero10 since launch and it's now available for $349 direct from GoPro, if you sign up for a GoPro subscription. The company says that users will be able to record up to 63-minute clips at 4K/60 fps.

Plus, GoPro released a firmware update last year that will allow the Hero10 Black to record longer clips in situations where there's limited airflow to cool the camera. But, you can use the same battery, as well as the same accessories, as before.
However, this puts a serious dent on battery life, which is unchanged from the Hero9. What's most impressive is the Hero10's upgraded image stabilization in our testing, we found that the camera can be tilted by as much as 45 degrees while still smoothing things out. On top of that, it has a larger 23MP image sensor, and manages to shave off a tiny bit of weight. While the outside hasn't changed from the Hero9 Black, the GoPro Hero10 Black sports a new and improved processor on the inside, which translates to video recording as high as 5.3K/60 fps, as well as 2K video at 240 fps, and 4K video at 120 fps.
