I know we left out tons of exciting features like horizon leveling and subscription services… I just don’t think those are relevant to your next bike park trip, so we really tried to test the things that would matter to you, the mountain biker. I hope we did, but I’m open to suggestions for next time! I’ve always waited weeks to see an actual mountain biker review a new GoPro, and so having the opportunity to do this on launch day seemed like a no brainer.
GoPro matches the carbon hardtail you built from scratch quote "I haven't even risen it yet and it's already black and blue" see if you can get that reference also shout out to all that ozy mtbers out
The horizon ain't always level when I berm, so I don't want it weirdly level in my footage.... good call. Also, in 2021, the last thing I need is another subscription service, so meh to that, 👍 to this. I care about dynamic range, so I can go in and out of shadows and still see the trail... the image not getting noisy in shadows... and the stabilization not jittering in shadowy tree cover.
I think he was just making fun of people that didn't have an exciting hobby. Don't worry I asked him what the GoPro is like it over 100 miles an hour and he's gonna have no idea cuz his hobby it childs play compared to my daily savage lifestyle
This is the one comment that shows up without hitting the drop down arrow to view all comments. I saw it and was thinking WTF, but then I heard him say it.
Nice video. Just one tip. On GoPro HERO5/6/7/8/9/10 If the camera locks up for any reason, DO NOT pull the battery. What you need to do is press and hold the side mode button for 12 to 15 seconds and then release. This will clear the error and soft reset the camera.
Yeah i got a hero 3 when it was new but the good thing about more new gopros coming out is the older ones will get cheaper even if its just a little cheaper cus theyre still all great cameras since hero 5 especially
but actually thats how you know the camera with poor video quality... video with higher bitrate would show up even in a lower resolution... while the video with poor bitrate highly depend on high video resolution to make up for its poor bitrate ... I always do this even when I have the capability to watch in 1080p... because i know not all people from around the world are gonna watch in 1080...there are still people who watch on a phone with 480p...
hopefully next up they actually fix their software, too. the hardware is incredible but holy hell, GoPro quick and all that really needs a lot of work. I need about 3 external apps to even make GPS telemetry work
After using GoPro's for years only to have to pull the battery out, I bought a DJI. Totally been happy with it, but it doesn't have the awesome features that the GoPro's have. Once GoPro can have 1. Great battery life and 2. No freezing/never have to pull the battery out, I'll buy one. GoPro 11?
DJI 2 is coming out, and it has a 1/1.7" (gopro has had the same 1/2.3" from the start) sensor with modest 4000x3000 (12MP) max resolution. Its going to kill any gopro.
Even worse, my gpro9 has bonked while recording and actually wiped the memory card. It's a know issue that 1000's of people have reported, but gopro hasn't addressed or even responded to
In the end, apart from being more nerdy, it doesn’t bring anything to the table. 5k will definitely draw the battery faster and fill your SD card in no time. The only thing most riders would need is a bigger sensor for noticeably improved low light performance (in the woods for instance). Or HDR 😍 I’ll stick with my 7 black!
same here. 5K seems incredible but whats the point if its gonna be barely usable. I have 2 memory cards and 2 batteries on me at all times whenever I record with my GoPro Hero 8 and I feel like I'd need even more for the Hero 10. oh and the overheating is another thing..
Everything that works on the Hero 9 works, but the mic is about the same. It's really impossible to totally cancel wind noise on any camera without putting a big filter on it or cutting out tons of frequencies. I wish they would just eliminate all that and use the same mic as the Hero 4!
The Hero 10 Black looks good, and all your points on its improvements and useability are great. I personally find it hard to continue supporting GoPro with the experiences I have had with my Hero 7 Black, and stories from other users with later models. I have lost tons of footage while snowboarding, dirt biking, and riding MTBs because of the GoPro's buggy operating system (had it RMA'd already too). This has made good days of riding turn bad in a matter of minutes. I sincerely hope the 10 is fixed, but please don't cross your fingers on firmware updates if its not.
Yep had the 7 super buggy, friend has the 8 freezes all the time despite updates. Had long conversations with Go Pro basically they said it’s a problem that can’t be fixed with firmware…. Waiting for one that doesn’t over heat before I buy one.
Good job Seth . I like that you go straight to the point and make an honest review . Most of the youtubers will say how big upgrade it is , without even mention the important things that you said .
After experiencing their customer service ill never buy a gopro again. Fortunately I got my hero8 working by myself but even with a gopro plus membership I couldn't get help, warranty or replacement. DO NOT buy a gopro, especially a new one, unless you're able to get it warrantied/replaced in store, and expect to have to buy the next generation after warranty as you will not get help with issues after the warranty period.
I for one would love to see more camera reviews and behind the scenes info on your filming and editing process. Even info on how you plan out ideas for videos would be welcome. I always find that sort of thing super interesting.
1:41 if a camera can give me a smooth vide like a flat stable while Oscar running like that I won't even doubt and buy it right away but yeah Oscar can run like hell lol 😂
Love your videos. I was just watching another one of your videos and I saw this one pop up and I was like hell yes. Love these videos they are so enjoyable and interesting. Keep it up👍
Had a hero 4 that I won a couple years back and then went to a hero 7 when the 8 came out. Still very happy with the purchase, honestly exactly what a hobbyist needs to record some memories. Good stabilization = less hassle, still decent image quality etc, and the price is well below $200 nowadays on ebay.
Hey I love you videos and they inspired me to actually look for trails and today I did my first ever trail (blue) that is near me and after showing my mom pictures of the trail she also wants to join in now! Thank you for all the advice in the MTB 101 videos! They really helped me!
Pretty straightforward and honest review! They should make a smaller camera also, like session. I love my GoPro Hero 8 but my Session 5 is so much lighter and smaller.
Wow! In the beginning of this video , I was thinking "Well, this is stuff that is nice, but I can't justify upgrading the 9 just yet"... then you talked about the touch screen... Now I might have to pick one up! Great review!
I love how easy this was to understand and also how you used real world scenarios like the time-lapse make it easy to see if this was the right camera to get❤
I feel like "the new GoPro" is kinda like "the new [anything]" in mountain biking. The user's skill and experience will matter way more than the tool you're using. I have a Hero8, and I would improve my videos way more with $400 in lessons and experience with my Hero8 than just buying a new camera. Just like I would benefit more from $1000 in biking lessons and clinics than buying a new Fox Factory fork. I'm sure the Hero10 is a better tool, but most people (myself absolutely included) are not using even 50% of what my Hero8 can do.
the 8 suck ass because you cant replace the lense easy and use easy ND filters. the cams before 8 did it easy and the 9 and 10 does it easy so the 8 would actually be a downgrade to my 7 I will buy the 10 because of how sluggish the 7 will respond to sudden extreme brightness changes. Also more low light capability's and that my 7 is bugged.
@@Vanadium Eh, I have the 8 and I could really use some training on making proper edits. I really don’t know what a replaceable lens would even do for me. There are so many filters in the GoPro Quik app, why would I need a lens with a filter? That’s the original posters point, the 8 is enough for most people to ride a bike park, film it, make a little 5 minute movie and show their friends.
@@mttec23 I dont edit that way, I only do on the PC therefore I have many more options but what I need and want is to let it look more natural and how do you do it? Get the motion blur that we humans face when riding faster. Its not apparently visible if you ever used a GoPro Hero but I have had other Action Cams and some like the Insta360 with the 360° Mod capture the motion blur just fine. That's how you get it on the Hero, slap a ND filter on its lens. There was a fair amount of complaint abut the hero 8 why it has no replacements for the lens because of a crash you could not fix it your self. It looks like GoPro did address this with later two Generations.
@@Vanadium Yeah I can see that. If I crash and scratch my lens I have to send it in for repair. So far that hasn’t happened yet. Cool well now I know about the ND filter.
I love that they made 120/4k, improved touch screen, and color. All incremental improvements. I have yet to get one because they always lacked a few features I wanted. This is the first one that has pretty much everything I want. Schedule record is something I need I hadn't even thought about. So cool. Prices are reasonable now too. Need one to watch the suspension in my Yota to check out bump stop/end links under dynamic loads. Frankly if I hadn't watched this it wouldn't have occured to me I'll also need to put a light source down there with it, so thank you! Nice trucks, bikes, and tool heaven. Man of my tastes haha. GoPro is just another tool I have been needing to have in my bag.
My 7 films well and the stabilization works great but good Lord the freeze-ups are a pain in the ass!! I have to pop that stupid battery out 4 or 5 times a film day. With it being in the chesty harness and having a wind muffler/sleeve around it, it's really a hassle.
4k 120 is the only reason why I think someone should upgrade from the 9 (if they absolutely wanted to have sick looking slo-mo). Otherwise, scheduled capture, etc are all available on the previous gen. I use it on vacas filming sunrises. Pretty neat feature. Touchscreen has gotten a lot better after a few updates too, thankfully. Also, most of the time when I film I'm wearing a chesty and say "GoPro, start recording." or "GoPro, stop recording." I rarely need to use the interface. If you have an older GPro, this is the way to go (or see if the 9s lower in price)
Just ordered a GoPro Hero 10 as an upgrade from the Hero 7. My 7 is still working brilliantly, I use it all the time and I can’t actually fault it. The reason I upgraded was for the horizon levelling and I had vouchers won from a work incentive that covered half the cost. Without the vouchers I would have lived happily without the horizon levelling. That said… I might be blown away when I get the Camera in my hand!
Before GoPro built the camera you're holding (from GP1- to 10), they started with a pow camera (looked like a flashlight) back in 2000 or so. No one knew GoPro back then. I bought that sh:t to film our alpine descents on the mountain bike (we used to ride steep ascents almost all day to reach the downhill trail heads, today they drive a truck up there). It then (once again) stopped recording (what a surprise!) and I threw it down the 1000m wall from the mountain top in a moment of dire frustration, just as you pretended to do on the video. I really started to think, that they don't shoot their video ads with their own cameras - even with the newest models you never get that crispy, artifact-free footage. 🙄
I think you might have pointed out an already existing feature. Scheduled capture, the Hero 9 Black also had that feature and it comes in really handy for sunrises and stuff. All and all, great video as always man!
This was cool Seth, I'd love to hear more about your cam setup and recording process. I'm new to your channels, I don't MTB, I don't RC and I don't even have a camera, you just make stuff interesting to watch!
Thanks for the heads up Seth, I Also use a gopro almost exclusively for my videos and I had debated upgrading from the Hero 8. While I would like the better image quality i'm not sold thats its really worth it yet. Thanks again!
Thanks. I am not going to buy any go pros. The random stops issue is very frustrating. I risked my life to get a killer shot to find out the camera stopped recording . Love your channel
I have the 7, and I like the color it produces. When the light starts to dim, I get out my Osmo Pocket. To be honest, I don't see a need to upgrade to the 10.
Have we reached an era of GoPro that we're doing things too well? EIS is so buttery-smooth that rocky, downhill MTB looks actionless. Individual frames are so crisp that any motion blur is killed. We're now even recording at resolutions that most displays can't show without downscaling. Even with all of this, the Hero 7 Black competes nicely with this generation-even without horizon leveling and a front-facing display.
4:50 I'd like to point out that even though you are recording at specific resolutions, it wont be pixel perfect. GoPro doesn't record at a high enough video bitrate (which kinda sucks) to capture some detailed scenes compared to what a DSLR etc could do. But you wont really notice this if you don't zoom in.
What's the battery life on it like? My ideal camera is one I turn on at the start of a spin and forget about until I turn it off when I get home, but I'd need up to 8 hours of battery life for that. Remembering to turn it on and off for the 'interesting' bits, especially when interesting things can happen at any time, is an annoyance I have no interest in adding to my spins.
I know we left out tons of exciting features like horizon leveling and subscription services… I just don’t think those are relevant to your next bike park trip, so we really tried to test the things that would matter to you, the mountain biker. I hope we did, but I’m open to suggestions for next time!

"Dolphin was... pooping" is a strange insight into Seth's subconsciousness.
That's why we love the channel isn't it? Because Seth is a 3 year old? Keep up the good work Seth.
To be fair, Seth has a baby. He's probably thinking about poop a lot.
I think he was just making fun of people that didn't have an exciting hobby. Don't worry I asked him what the GoPro is like it over 100 miles an hour and he's gonna have no idea cuz his hobby it childs play compared to my daily savage lifestyle

Scheduled capture, the Hero 9 Black also had that feature and it comes in really handy for sunrises and stuff. All and all, great video as always man!
Oh, so that’s what you were doing at Kanuga last week!
Exactly the amount of info I need. Thanks
The dolphin poopin reference was dope 😂😂😂LMAO
Ha ha ha ...I was literally watching this with my GoPro above my phone and when you say GoPro app my GoPro started recording...funny
Great video Seth!
Great no nonsense early review. Also captures many of the features most relevant to fishing videos. Thank you!
I don't have any plans to purchase a gopro. I just wanted to mention that the kid in the blue kit is an absolute shredder 💯!
Wow, did see that guy turn his handlebars on those jumps? Awesome!
I just bought a GoPro hero 9 black for bmx,mtb,and dirt bikes and I love it
Good solid info … straight and no frills … thank you Seth
Concise great review. Clear speak, organized thoughts, useful watch time. Thanks.
Finally a natural color profile and new processor
I love how Seth was using the GoShank in the one clip!
This was cool Seth, I'd love to hear more about your cam setup and recording process. I'm new to your channels, I don't MTB, I don't RC and I don't even have a camera, you just make stuff interesting to watch!
Gopro nailed it this time buying it soon
Love your videos
Super good overview, Seth! Can't wait to use mine for trail building time lapses this winter.
Thanks for the heads up Seth, I Also use a gopro almost exclusively for my videos and I had debated upgrading from the Hero 8. While I would like the better image quality i'm not sold thats its really worth it yet. Thanks again!
One of the best review I've seen bud, thanks. I got a pro 10 coming to me this weekend. I'll be using it stream my TH-cam videos
Very straightforward. Thanks again for an awesome vid Seth!
I laughed at the dolphins pooping for a good 5 minutes like a child
Yes
Thanks. I am not going to buy any go pros. The random stops issue is very frustrating. I risked my life to get a killer shot to find out the camera stopped recording . Love your channel
Top shelf work, Seth.
I have the 7, and I like the color it produces. When the light starts to dim, I get out my Osmo Pocket. To be honest, I don't see a need to upgrade to the 10.
Have we reached an era of GoPro that we're doing things too well? EIS is so buttery-smooth that rocky, downhill MTB looks actionless. Individual frames are so crisp that any motion blur is killed. We're now even recording at resolutions that most displays can't show without downscaling. Even with all of this, the Hero 7 Black competes nicely with this generation-even without horizon leveling and a front-facing display.
4:50 I'd like to point out that even though you are recording at specific resolutions, it wont be pixel perfect. GoPro doesn't record at a high enough video bitrate (which kinda sucks) to capture some detailed scenes compared to what a DSLR etc could do. But you wont really notice this if you don't zoom in.
Garrr Seth out here flexing all those sexy go pros while I’m saving my butt off to buy my first one! Aspirations my good friend keep me pushing on!
I think this is the intro we want!
5:55 - thanks for saving my money :D
Your a best of a mtb rider I love you
As normal, the compression is still too heavy to see the quality of it. It’s a bummer, since it’s obviously a high quality camera
Woo for the improved touch screen! The 9 had genuinely the worst touch screen i've used in years, it was hot garbage!
from a mountain biking channel too a tech channel
I just bought one today. It's being delivered.
I want to shoot with the Max Lens Mod but at 4K 60fps or better with the Horizon Lock on. We will see.
Just want to say, I have been subbed to and have watched all your vids for 4 years now.
Still, great content, keep up the good work

What's the battery life on it like? My ideal camera is one I turn on at the start of a spin and forget about until I turn it off when I get home, but I'd need up to 8 hours of battery life for that. Remembering to turn it on and off for the 'interesting' bits, especially when interesting things can happen at any time, is an annoyance I have no interest in adding to my spins.
That's what the HindSight feature is for.
