I have the exact same problem. Bought my GoPro 2 weeks ago, used it for 2 weeks... downloaded / updated the firmware this morning using the iPhone app... restarted and now the back / LCD screen doesn"t turn on at all. I chatted with support for 2 hours and they had me manually install the update which I downloaded here:

and then installed by coping the resulting "UPDATE" folder to my SD card, which after a couple tries did take but didn"t fix the problem. I"m left with a 2 week old GoPro that has a non-functioning LCD screen.

I"d put money on the firmware update being the issue as 1) that"s the only thing that"s changed for me since this morning and b) the problem is that the touchscreen isn"t displaying anything at all.

Make sure the GoPro is charged. Charge the GoPro by using provided USB connector and plugging it into a computer. You can also use the GoPro wall or automobile charger.

If the GoPro still does not charge, please use the microSD/Micro USB Port Assembly Replacement guide to replace your assembly. A poor connection inside the Micro USB port may prevent your GoPro from charging.

Older computers do not have the hardware to support HD playback. Ensure your computer can play the video by checking if it meets the GoPro Studio Software minimum requirements here.

You can have choppy video playback if you play the video streamed from the camera over USB. What this means is if you have the camera connected to a computer by the USB cable and you play the video from the files on the camera, without transferring the file to your computer, it can come out choppy. This is due to the USB connection not being fast enough to play the HD video back in real time. Before playing back a HD video, copy or transfer the file from your GoPro to your computer, then playback the video.

It may be either a loose connection to the LCD screen, that the LCD screen is faulty and needs to be replaced or worst case that there is a fault on the motherboard.

Try shining a torch at an angle close to the LCD screen to check if you can detect an image at all when using the camera. It will be very faint so try it in a darkened room if possible.

If you can detect an image it means that there is a backlight problem with the screen. Either there is no power being supplied from the motherboard to the backlight circuit in the LCD screen or the backlight circuit in the screen is faulty and the screen will have to be replaced as it cannot be repaired. Hopefully it is not a motherboard problem in supplying backlight power to the screen.

If you cannot detect an image (or even if you can) then unfortunately without a schematic, the only way to determine if it is a problem with the screen or the motherboard is to replace one or the other. Again hopefully it is not a motherboard problem.

Here’s a link to a video that shows how to replace the LCD screen + digitizer in the camera. This will also help you to check if the LCD video flex cable connection is OK.

Here’s a link to the GoPro Hero5 Black Repair guides which may also help if the video isn’t clear enough at some points. Unfortunately there is no ifixit guide showing the LCD screen removal.

For those wondering what gopro cameras THIS specific kit is for, it"s for the hero 3+/hero 4. It mounts to the back of the 3+/4 as pictured and comes with 3 back doors for the hero 3+/4 housing. 3 doors included; 1 skeleton(open to touch the screen directly), 1 waterproof touch case(has a thin plastic membrane in the back to touch the screen with but is only waterproof to 3m/10"), and the full waterproof back(functions as normal waterproof back. screen not touchable but is view-able). the extra side button is for turning the display on, playback mode, and off. overall it"s very easy to use and go through menus to change settings.

I like that I can now frame my shots better and see what I"ve recorded. it adds some thickness to the camera but i"m not concerned about it. I"d only use to it line up shots and see how they came out. it doesn"t need to be on all the time... to conserve battery life. I don"t know how it effects battery life yet, but i"m not too worried about that. I use a telesin 1300mAh/4.81Wh aftermarket battery with the gopro hero 3+ factory(1180mAh/3.885Wh) battery as backup with my 3+ silver.

"The LCD Touch BacPac backdoor has a thin plastic film across the back that lets you use the BacPac"s touch functionality even while in the housing. The backdoor"s thin plastic film can however be damaged if there is a big difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the waterproof housing. It"s important that you are aware of the conditions that can cause this, so that you take the necessary precautions to prevent damage to the film.

If you plan to use the camera in any such scenarios, we recommend that you do not use the LCD touch door, but rather the fully sealed waterproof door or skeleton back door.

Kit comes with a short mount extension. Out of the box gopros come with a 90 degree turned extension. This one is straight. Also, double-tapping the screen goes between live view and playback. Holding the side display button for 3 seconds turns it off.

Today GoPro announced its latest action camera, the GoPro HERO+ LCD.  This marks the first time GoPro has done an ‘off-cycle’ release of a new camera product, as the company has historically released new action cams in the September/October timeframe.  It also bookends a rather busy week of announcements for the company.  Last week they announced both their intentions of launching a drone early next year, as well as their crazy 6-camera spherical mount system.  And that’s all before we talk about an apparent upcoming software update to start cloud sync of GoPro files to some sort of still unannounced internet service.  And don’t forget that even more crazy 16-camera virtual reality mount they built for Google.

The new GoPro HERO+ LCD is sorta exactly as the name implies: It’s the 2014 GoPro HERO…plus…an LCD screen.  Well, and connectivity over WiFi and Bluetooth Smart.

You’ll likely remember that the entry level GoPro HERO was $129US, and had a non-removable external case.  That meant that you couldn’t take it out of the case, which in turn meant you couldn’t add in any additional rear-attaching accessories such as the extra battery packs or LCD screen.

They also added in the WiFi and Bluetooth Smart compatibility.  Not for sensors, but rather for connecting to your mobile phone. This connectivity allows you to transfer photos and videos over to your phone, and then up to the interwebs.  Further, the HERO+ LCD includes the remote highlight tagging, which wasn’t available on the lower end model.  This means you can use the remote control to tag highlights so you can find them quicker later on during editing.

Finally, the camera has an internal editing capability, allowing you to slice the clips a bit better before transferring them.  This helps reduce the time to transfer video clips to your phone, making the process a little bit quicker.  This is planned to come to the HERO4 Silver later this summer, and the HERO4 Black as well (if you have bought the additional LCD back touchscreen).

Now the downside is that you can’t swap out batteries like the more expensive HERO4 Silver & HERO4 Black.  Nor can you remove it from the case like those other units (at +$100 and +$200 respectively).  You’ll also lack the 2.7K and 4K video, as well as some of the higher speed options found like the 120/240FPS speeds.  Same goes for lack of HDMI connectivity.

But the reality is that for the vast majority of folks wanting an affordable camera, the specs hit the core of the market.  The noted 2.5 hour battery life is in the ballpark of most other units these days (though, without a way to swap batteries, that can be a problem for certain activities).  Here’s a comparison between the four GoPro HERO units:

The Hero+ LCD unit includes a few different back doors, so you can use it in wet environments and still touch the screen, as well as using an open door too.

This is a brilliant move by GoPro.  Since last October’s announcements came out, it left a bit of a hole in the price range.  They had the GoPro HERO Basic (2014 Edition) at $129, but then the next camera up was at $399US (HERO4 Silver), and then the HERO4 Black at $499 at the top.  For many (including myself), the brilliant touch screen on the back of the HERO4 Silver was loved – but for most consumers that was a bit pricey when existing action cameras were mostly in the $200-$300 range.  But with GoPro’s cheaper HERO base not having mobile phone connectivity and a bunch of other limitations, it wasn’t as ideal in the share-it-instantly world that is today.

By removing the 2.7K/4K support in the HERO4 Silver and focusing on 1080p (w/60FPS) support with good phone connectivity – they hit the majority of the audience (Oh, for those curious why I’ve said that Garmin needed to be at 2.7K support on their new XE product, it’s because they priced themselves that high).

In some ways, it’s almost like GoPro did a bit of a fake-you-out move price-wise.  See, both TomTom and Garmin recently announced new cameras – and matched GoPro’s $399 prices for certain models (for reasons that even then seemed hard to justify).  With those cameras being less well known, and specs to the average consumer in the same range – it was a hard sell. With the GoPro brand so strong, you have to compete and beat on multiple levels: Specifications and Prices.

In the case of Garmin, this move is even more so ironic – given Garmin recently cut the display when they updated Garmin VIRB lineup with the X/XE and decided to go without the preview screen that was present on the first generation units. A move that many of you thought was short-sighted (no PUN intended).

Looking forward, the real question is will GoPro again release this fall as they have done annually for years?  With neither the recently announced Garmin or TomTom units actually shipping yet – it might be challenging for both if GoPro doubles down as usual in the fall with new models.  In Garmin’s case, they are better positioned with a more unique offering around widely extended sensor offerings in the X/XE range, including new automotive and boating support – but that continues to be more of a niche offering at the $299 price point when trying to compete with GoPro branding/marketing.  While TomTom will need to iterate quickly with their automated movie maker software to truly become a competitive offering.

Definitely an interesting market for sure.  For those curious about my recommendations – for 95% of folks it’ll likely shift from the Hero4 Silver to the HERO+ LCD, assuming there are no issues with it.  The reason being that if you’re using it for cycling and such, you can actually use your Garmin Edge device with the GoPro, inside of Garmin’s free VIRB Edit software suite – thus getting all the benefits of data overlays there (I suppose Garmin is probably happy you’re buying their device).  It’s really only if you’re doing direct to camera sensors and don’t already have a GPS device for speed/distance/pace/altitude that I’d recommend looking at the Garmin X/XE lineup.

Note: You can now order the Hero+ LCD via both Amazon and Clever Training.  While both sites help support the site here and all the work I do, by using Clever Training you’re also going to save 10% on your order with DCR Reader Coupon Code DCR10BTF – further, you’ll get free shipping within the US!

GoPro announced a quadcopter droneand two separate virtual reality camera rigs in the span of less than 24 hours last week. This week? It’s back to action cameras. Today GoPro has announced the Hero+ LCD, a new low-end option in the Hero line of action cameras. The camera goes on sale this Sunday, June 7th, and retails for $299.

The Hero+ LCD isn’t going to wow users with the ability to shoot extreme slow motion or 4K footage, but the specs are slightly better than what’s found on the relative bargain bin $129 Hero. The new camera shoots video up to a resolution of 1080p at 60 frames per second and photos at 8MP, and has an LCD touchscreen on the back — all improvements on the entry-level version. The rest is basically the same: it’s waterproof up to 40m (131’), has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and supports microSD cards up to 64GB.

While the price isn’t necessarily cheap, it fills the one obvious hole in GoPro’s line of products. With the Hero+ LCD, GoPro now sells its Hero4 line of cameras at prices of $129, $299, $399, and $499. Companies like Sony have tried competing with GoPro at the high end to mild success, but the best weapon for the likes of Garmin, Xiaomi, and even HTC, has been price — until now.

★★★★★ A GoPro HERO+ LCD (Wi-Fi Enabled) review will not answer these 48 questions. Get the truth from people who own a GoPro HERO+ LCD (Wi-Fi Enabled), including the fact that it won"t...

• Does anyone know why this gopro hero goes blank while recording? I mount it on my dashboard in my car and it just goes blank. what's the reason. help?

• Think i'm going to get the GoPro Hero+lcd for a gift for my boyfriend. Does anyone have any advice on what else might be needed/want to get started..?

• Mine was in the retail box. Looked perfectly normal and looked unopened. I cannot remember if the box was "factory sealed." There was a plastic bag around the retail box (that is how Amazon is packaging stuff now). I would return.

• My Go Pro+LCD can record for approx. 2 hours with the display and WiFi off. 1:25 with WiFi on. Above all, remember to have a lot-O-fun :)#LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

• I bought this for my daughter and her husband they had one without the LCD and has always commented that they wish they had have the LCD. It remains to be seen whether it"s better or not it would just seem that would be easier to see what you"re shooting

• I would think, unless you"ll only be using it as an action camera mounted to a helmet or something, the LCD is absolutely worth the extra cost. If you will use it as a point and shoot camera at any point, the LCD is almost compulsory, unless you want to link the camera to your phone and use it as a viewfinder, which is not very convenient and a clunky solution.#GoPro_HERO+_LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

• Well you would have to use the app for your smartphone in order to see what the camera is seeing. This product is an action camera so where ever you put the camera at on you is how it is going to view. It has an LCD screen on the back to view what it sees but once hooked to certain attachments you may not be able to view#LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

• It appears that you actually CAN do this according to the official documentation. https://gopro.com/support/articles/using-the-camera-while-charging#GoPro_HERO+_Review

• I suppose you mean a portable charger? I"m not sure. You"d definitely have to use it with the back off of the camera - which doesn"t inhibit its operation any, but certainly lessens the application with which you might use/mount the camera.

• You can"t change the battery. The camera is fused to the housing, so the camera can"t be removed if the housing is damaged.#GoPro_HERO+_LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

QUESTION: DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY THIS GOPRO HERO GOES BLANK WHILE RECORDING? I MOUNT IT ON MY DASHBOARD IN MY CAR AND IT JUST GOES BLANK. WHAT'S THE REASON. HELP?

• No, you can not swap out the battery. The battery is internal and cannot be removed. Which in my opinion makes it a $200+ disposable camera regardless of a extended warranty available. Hope this answers your question. Regards.

• It has an internal battery which requires charging. Multiple cameras would have to be used if more than one battery was needed in a session. That being said, the battery does have a fairly long life span.#LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

QUESTION: SO IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE CASE OFF THE MODEL AND YOU WANT THAT, AND YOU ALSO WANT ONE WITH AN LCD, WHAT IS THE BEST MODEL TO GO WITH?

• I think the go Pro hero 4+. I"m pretty sure that"s the go Pro camera that has a built-in LCD screen and also comes out of the case. The only thing is it"s much more expensive. But then you can also change the batteries. Hope that helps.

QUESTION: THINK I'M GOING TO GET THE GOPRO HERO+LCD FOR A GIFT FOR MY BOYFRIEND. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE ON WHAT ELSE MIGHT BE NEEDED/WANT TO GET STARTED..?

• 3-way tripod, memory card and smart remote worked well for me as a starter kit, especially if it will be used to capture general travel photos.#LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

• Yes it is! Check out the link for instructions https://gopro.com/support/articles/how-to-pair-your-hero-lcd-camera-and-smart-or-wi-fi-remote#GoPro_HERO+_Review

• The battery lasts about one hour and 45 minutes at 720 pixels. I have a backup flash light unit that adds another hour and a half if necessary. Recharging takes about an hour. I am not 100% sure as I just plug the camera in and go do something else. Usually, about an hour later I go look, it"s charged and I put it away.

• HERO+ LCD features SuperView, a GoPro-exclusive video mode that captures the world"s most immersive wide-angle perspective. It allows you to capture more of yourself and your surroundings in the shot-resulting in captivating, ultra engaging footage of every adventure.

• I have a three piece band and you only have to get back about 2 1/2 to three meters to get us all in. I have never used a wide angle before so I don"t have much to compare it to other than that.#LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

• On the GoPro Hero+LCD, the camera is embedded/fixed inside the housing (it cannot be removed). So as long as you are using the Waterproof (non-vented) back door, and it is closed tightly . . . the camera is waterproof down to 40 meters/ 131 feet.

• This certain GoPro is built into the case. You can open the back door to access the charging port and memory card. Otherwise the camera does not come out of the case.#LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

• If you have a 4k television or a high grade smart phone with 4k display and would like to pay twice the ammount.i would reccomend the hero 4. The hero 4 has 4k recording thats why it is so expensive. But everything else it has is the same as my go pro. And some versions of the hero 4 dont have the lcd screen like mine. Its all about your budget

• Not as good As a regular compact camera would be. It"s mainly for action sports where you do not have the ability to focus on a picture because of what you"re doing

• In my opinion no, it"s mainly for videoing with drones, it"s got very good quality video, I have 2 and do video editing so I put a small window in the main video with the second video, it"s pretty cool#LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

• Hi there. This item is like new. I have the original box. I used this item for 2 weeks and then put everything back in the box. It has not been used since. I also have the bike mount (unopened, in original packaging) as well as the tripod available as well if you would also like to purchase these accessories.

• As the GoPro HERO and GoPro HERO+ LCD cameras have non-removable batteries only specific extended battery packs can be used. One of these is the Limefuel Epic L40GH (available via Amazon). The response provided by Competitive Cyclist is inappropriate as it refers to other models of GoPro cameras.#LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

• No. It does not come with the charger. But it does come with a USB cable to connect to a charger that you would buy separately. Or you can just connect it to your computer and it will charge that way. There are charges available from third-party vendors or there is one also available from GoPro.#GoPro_HERO+_LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

• Hi Charis... Yes, there is a screen on the camera! You can view your photos and videos as well as view before taking them. View your settings and much more... I hope this helps you?

• Hi brenda. Pictures are in 12 megapixels.the average high grade smart phone like iphone 5 and up, galaxy note 4,s5,s6 would be better for pictures. But if you have a chest mount or head harness the recording of 1080p at 60 fps records fast and clear audio and video. Great for hikes with great scenery.#GoPro_HERO+_LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

• You should not need a housing, as the camera is dust and water proof. The back cover is removable and has 3 replaceable options for immersion: 1.deep, 2. not deep and 3. dust proof.

• No, you don"t need one because the camera is "sealed" in a housing already. The drawback is if you damage the housing you can"t replace it by taking the camera out. It"s all one unit.#LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

• No, the hero 3 is better, this camera is damaged in the housing has no solution. the hero 3 can be changed if the housing is scratched or broken. You can also buy separate display if needed. but the connection to the Smartphone is enough if you want to see what you"re Recording I recommend you spend about $ 100 more and buy hero3 black edition. worth it.#GoPro_HERO+_LCD_(Wi-Fi_Enabled)

• Yes, it can go down 160 feet as long as you make sure the white plastic gasket seal is not covered in sand which will hold it open just enough for water to seap in

Their newest camera has just hit the market, and we have been busy putting it to the test to bring you this comprehensive GoPro HERO 10 review! Find our what all the new features are, where it shines (and where it doesn’t), as well as an honest opinion on whether the GoPro HERO10 is worth the upgrade.

See, we’re not exactly your typical tech reviewers that burn and churn through whichever product hits the market, just to move onto the next thing a few days later.

We live and breathe photography, videography, and most of all, adventure. So of course once this new camera hit the market we had to dive into the specs and use it out in the real world to bring our expert GoPro HERO10 Black review.

There are two slogans for the GoPro HERO 10 Black this year. The first is ‘A New Era’, which is a pretty massive claim for a company that has been at the leading edge of action sports cameras for over a decade.

The GP2 on the GoPro HERO10 brings about some enormous upgrades around things like frame rates and overall performance, while the general features like photo and video modes stay mostly the same as the previous model.

SPECIAL DEAL: GoPro has an incredible special on their new camera right now, and you can save a huge $210 on the fantastic ‘HERO10 Black + Accessories’ bundle deal by clicking on the button below, or save $150 on just the HERO10 camera. This special is for a limited time only, so check it out while it’s available.

A New Era of GoPro is here and that means there are a whole string of new features and upgrades when you compare the HERO10 with the HERO 9 Black action cameras.

Here are some of the new and major features of the HERO 10 Black. The number of practical changes this year isn’t as many as previous years, but the quality of improvements and technical upgrades are incredible.

Why is that you ask? Well its predecessor, the GP1, has been around since the HERO6 was released in 2017. Which in the tech world is a hell of a long time. Almost an eternity really.

Even though the GoPro HERO9 last year finally revealed a new upgraded 23 megapixel sensor, using the old processor meant that it could only achieve 20 megapixels.

If you’re not exactly sure what the processor does, essentially think of it as the entire engine to your camera. And by having a newer, faster, efficient processor, the camera is now even better than ever.

Compared to the HERO9, the GoPro HERO10 Black now has double the performance and double the frame rate across all of the higher resolution video modes.

It is now twice as smooth when reviewing footage and using live preview on the front LCD screen, and the rear LCD touchscreen interface is incredibly responsive.

If this was the only improvement we found in our GoPro HERO10 review, we’d already be singing its praises and telling you that you need to stop what you’re doing and order one now. But of course, there’s more…

But if you’re a professional user, we recommend shooting in RAW mode to full make the most out of the 23 megapixels the GoPro HERO 10 boasts with image quality.

This isn’t necessarily something that we’d consider pushes GoPro into a ‘new era’, but it’s been a massive annoyance for us for years and are so glad they’ve improved it.

GoPro photos and videos have always looked great when shooting on bright, sunny days. But they’ve often fallen apart when it comes to low light situations, such as dawn, dusk or indoors.

Noise and grain isn’t so much of a problem now, and details are fantastic, even in low light. It may seem minor, but it was something we really wanted to highlight in our GoPro HERO10 review.

Well GoPro practically killed off their own product when they introduced HyperSmooth into the HERO7, their own version of digital image stabilization.

The touch screen is a lot smoother and more responsive, and this was actually our biggest gripe with the HERO9. While it looked great, the touch screen was very frustrating to use. Not an issue any more on the HERO10.

It may have taken more than a decade of versions to figure out, but finally the GoPro HERO10 Black is on par with professional expectations with how it performs day to day.

The camera itself is great, but what has always set GoPro apart from other companies is the sheer number of accessories you can attach to them, allowing you to use the camera in just about any situation you can set your imagination to.

Besides the dazzling array of random accessories like suction cups, selfie sticks, dive housings, clamps, helmet and board mounts and plenty more, it’s the ‘Mods’ of the last few years that have helped turn the GoPro cameras into a versatile beast.

Then there are the Light Mod (adds a light, surprise surprise) for when shooting indoors or at night, and a Display Mod, which adds another screen so you can see yourself, but the latter is kind of redundant now thanks to the front-facing LCD screen.

But before you rush out and buy one based on a bunch of fancy talk like GP2 processors and 5.3k60fps, how does the GoPro HERO10 Black actually perform in the real world?

The very first thing we noticed was that the camera fired up a lot faster than the HERO9, and the screen responsiveness did indeed seem a lot smoother and quicker.

The GoPro HERO10 LCD touch screen almost felt as smooth as our iPhone, which is pretty remarkable. So much so that it made us even more frustrated with the screen performance on the 9.

One of the big things we noticed too was how much more quickly the GoPro captured and processed these images, especially in RAW mode, compared to the HERO9.

When we pulled the images up on Adobe Lightroom to check them out we were very impressed with the clarity and colour rendering that the GoPro produced.

All of the other camera features such as TimeWarp, Burst Mode, Night Photo, Voice Activation, etc performed as expected, with no real improvement over the HERO9, other than everything just being faster and smoother.

Now we don’t want to go jumping the gun just yet, because GoPros have had freezing issues forever, even with every firmware update, but the fact that we haven’t experienced this yet may just mean that the new GP2 chip has finally rectified this massive problem. Hallelujah!

Overall the GoPro HERO10 Black handles like an absolute beast in the real world, and we will be using this new camera on every single shoot we do from now on.

Like we said at the beginning of this article – this is an HONEST GoPro HERO10 review. And being honest means we’re going to tell you exactly what we don’t like about the latest camera too.

First up is the audio. Granted, for a camera this small you’re not going to have a world-class microphone built into it. But the audio when vlogging using the front-facing microphone is still slightly tinny, and not great in high-wind or crowded environments.

Second is that there is no optical zoom on the GoPro HERO 10. You can utilise the digital zoom, and change the digital lenses between SuperView, Wide, Linear and Narrow, but there isn’t any real optical zoom there.

We would have love to see at least 2x optical zoom built in, because sometimes you just want a different perspective for your shots rather than the typical GoPro fish-eye look.

There is a Max Lens Mod, which widens the point of view, so it makes us wonder if at some point GoPro can create a switchable lens that crops in. But at this stage you’re stuck with the digital options.

Other than that there really isn’t anything glaring at us that we dislike in our GoPro HERO 10 Black review. But if we notice anything as time goes on we’ll be sure to return to this article and update it.

Now that we’ve dove deep into what’s new, what we like (and what we don’t) in this GoPro HERO 10 Black review, you may be wondering whether it’s worth upgrading your camera, if you have an older model.

On the surface it may seem like there’s not a huge difference between the previous model and the HERO10, but with the GP2 processor almost everything is better, faster and smoother.

As you can see, the GoPro HERO 10 Black on the surface appears to be similar to previous models, using quite a lot of the same features, but it’s under the hood that everything sees improvements.

You’ve read through our review, have a solid understanding of the new features and capabilities of the GoPro HERO10, and if you haven’t already made a decision on whether to buy it or not, we’re going to help you out right now.

If you don’t already have a GoPro and are wondering whether or not you should bite the bullet and get one, then 100% yes, the HERO10 is worth the money!

You can literally connect your camera to the GoPro Quik app on your phone, wirelessly sync your footage, edit photos, make videos (using their ready-to-go templates), and in a matter of minutes you have epic content ready to upload straight to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook as soon as you have an internet connection!

If you have the HERO 8 or an earlier model and looking to upgrade, then absolutely yes, the HERO10 is a fantastic product that sits on another level compared to the previous products.

Every part of the camera has been given an upgrade, and especially for people who like to vlog or take selfies, you’ll find the front LCD display a huge game changer over the HERO 8.

In previous years we have always said that if you are using the previous GoPro camera, then unless you’re a professional user, it’s not worth upgrading.

The difference is very noticeable, and if you’re the kind of person who uses their camera a couple of times a week, it’s definitely worth considering an upgrade.

But if you’re the kind of shooter that tends to stick to their smartphone for photos and videos, or also uses a DSLR or mirrorless setup in addition to your standard kit, then don’t stress – the HERO9 is still a fantastic camera.

You’ve made it to the end of our GoPro HERO10 review, and considering the features, quality, durability, size, design, ease of use and of course the price, we’ve decided to give it a massive 9/10.

Thanks very much for reading our GoPro HERO10 Black review. If you have any questions please leave a comment below and we’ll answer them as soon as possible.

The GoPro HERO10 is a huge upgrade over the HERO9 thanks to the brand new GP2 processor, which doubles the performance, speed, responsiveness and frame rates of the camera over the previous model.

If you have the 8 model or earlier, or use your GoPro more than twice a week, then it is definitely worth upgrading to the GoPro HERO10 to make full use of the new GP2 processor.

With the new 23mp sensor being powered by the GP2 processor and full RAW capabilities, the GoPro HERO 10 is a fantastic camera for taking still photos.

We break down every spec, feature and comparison with previous models in our honest GoPro HERO 10 review by taking it out the field and testing if its worth...

If you asked Alan he would tell you that I have more than enough cameras. They are a slight obsession with me. I love capturing images during my travels and using different cameras and lenses to do that. One camera that is not part of my camera bag yet is a GoPro HERO+LCD, which is available at Best Buy. I’m not an extreme adventure junkie, but I still think the GoPro would be fun for my laid back style of travel. Of course, I could always buy the GoPro for Alan and give it to him for Father’s Day. Kind of a win-win.

The GoPro HERO+LCD is available at Best Buy right now so there is still time to buy Dad (or you) the latest launch in the GoPro family. Beyond action images, it’s perfect for family moments, long, lazy summer breaks, and summer travel near and far.

The fantastic LCD display allows you to relive all those fabulous moments immediately on the spot which means you can also share them right away for everyone to see and enjoy.

GoPro are synonymous with the idea of go-anywhere, attach-to-anything action cams – though it can sometimes be a bit of a performance to actually see what you’re shooting via a remote smartphone app.

The new HERO+ LCD isn’t the first GoPro to feature a built-in LCD screen but it is the cheapest and it’s also a touchscreen (also available in the HERO4 Silver). This will also hopefully make changing camera settings more straightforward and less of an exercise in tiny button-mashing frustration.

The new unit also allows trimming of clips in camera – not sure that’s what Newsshooter readers have been clamouring for but it could be useful for clipping out a particularly stand-out moment of footage and getting it back to base ASAP. That footage will be restricted to a maximum of 1080p60 – if you want higher frame rates or resolutions you’ll still have to step up to one of the camera’s bigger sisters.

The HERO+ LCD comes with GoPro’s signature waterproof housing, but here it’s not removable – which actually makes a lot of sense for an action cam. GoPro claim it’s waterproof to 40m and should fit all the existing GoPro mounts and hardware. It’s also still compatible with the GoPro app if you’d rather frame your shots up on a slightly larger screen.

SAN MATEO, CALIF.(June 1, 2015) – GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRO), enabler of some of today’s most immersive and engaging content, has announced the availability of its new HERO+ LCD camera. Capturing life-like high definition 1080p60 video and 8MP photos, the HERO+ LCD features a convenient touch display for easy shot framing, settings control and access to an all-new in-camera video trimming feature. Like the entry-level HERO, the HERO+ LCD is built directly into its waterproof housing. The simplicity of this all-in-one design now combines with expanded features to make capturing life’s memorable moments easier than ever.

Rugged and waterproof to 131’ (40m), HERO+ LCD also includes advanced features like HiLight Tagging and in-camera video trimming to make it easier to identify and share your favorite moments. HiLight Tagging lets you mark key moments while recording and during playback so you can easily find them later, and the all-new video trimming feature allows you to create short clips in-camera for easier sharing without a computer.

Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® connect the HERO+ LCD to your GoPro App-enabled smartphone or tablet for easy camera control and shot preview when your camera is mounted or out of reach. The GoPro App also allows for easy content sharing to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and more and combines with the new in-camera video trimming feature to form a convenient content sharing solution.

“HERO+ LCD illustrates that even as we push the limits of life capture with bleeding-edge devices like the HERO4 Black, we’re also focused on delivering accessible, high-quality capture solutions to anyone wanting to GoPro,” said Nick Woodman, founder and CEO of GoPro.

Some years ago, Cris and I bought a GoPro camera for our holidays in Madagascar. It is a GoPro Hero+ LCD. The main reasons to buy this camera were the fact that it comes from the factory in a waterproof box. For most other cameras one needs to buy such a box separately and it could easily cost as much as the camera. The box is claimed to be water proof to a depth of 40 meters. We have taken it on many dives, usually to around 18 meters, but also to a maximum of 26 meters and it didn’t leak a drop. GoPro doesn’t make them like that anymore: their current model, HERO7, is water proof to only 10 meters. I guess they

Another important reason for us to buy this camera was that it had an LCD screen at the back. So you can actually see the picture that you are taking or movies that you are shooting. It sounds like a no-brainer but the models before and after that particular one did not include this feature. If I remember correctly, we were just in time in 2015 because GoPro was moving on to their next model without the screen. It seems that they changed their minds because the current model has a screen again.

The LCD screen has touch-screen functionality, which sounds nice but only comes in handy when you are preparing the GoPro. After all, the screen also is in the box which is closed when you are using it, definitely when you are using it for diving. GoPro made a lid for the box that preserved the touch screen functions, but it was only water proof to 3 meter. Fortunately all the functions can also be operated with the three buttons which do work under water. And if you use it often, you’ll learn the exact series of buttons to press, which can be a lot faster than the touch screen.

So, what is not to like about this camera? In short: The lens. It’s angle is too wide for say half of our purposes. In GoPro’s defense: it’s meant as an action camera. This means that it is designed for you not to have to do anything once you are in action. For example, there is no need to point precisely what you want to shoot because you won’t have time for that while you are surfing, kayaking, riding your horse or whatever. They solved that by giving the camera a wide-angle view of over 100 degrees. It has a wider angle than your eyes, so if you point it vaguely in the right direction, it will capture what you want it to capture. Good for an action camera. Good to photograph a whale. Less good for small to medium sized fish, depending on how fearful they are.

For the Costa Rica trip, we hope to do a lot of snorkeling and diving again and we would like to have a narrow-angle lens for the HERO+. Down to 45 degrees (more or less the view angle of your eyes) would already be a big improvement. Today, I did some searches and there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that indeed, it is possible to acquire clip-on lenses for GoPro cameras, or to buy adapters to connect a GoPro to third party lenses.

Bad news number 1 is that there are not many producers that take into account the entire range of GoPros. Our HERO+ LCD counts as an ancient model, apparently.

Bad news number 2 is that for diving one needs to add a red filter on the lens in order to get the colors right. These filters are easily available for a GoPro, but the combination of a clip-on lens and a fitting red filter does not exist. At least, I didn’t find it.

Bad news number 4: it’s not cheap. The camera costed 450 Euros. The clip-on lenses or converters cost about half of that, if you’re lucky. This is not a deal-braker though. I would consider paying it, if I found what we are looking for.

The GoPRO HERO HD POV cam has caused a minor revolution in the industry reaching thousands who ordinarily might not have ever purchased a camcorder. Since its arrival there have been many companies who have come out with their own low priced, high performing camcorders, several with similar recording abilities being able to shoot in 1080p at 30fps, at 960p/30fps, 720p/60fps, 720p/30fps widescreen and WVGA/60fps in a video format of H.264 compression/MPEG4.

in September, 2010 pointed out the finer points of the GoPRO"s usage and surprisingly good footage. However, since that time I found that scrolling through the menu, especially if I hadn"t used it for a period of time, was often confusing and a bother to do.

GoPRO has listened to its widely growing audience and has now produced a very serviceable monitor which provides both decent quality viewing and enables you to quickly set up your shots and create a composition to your liking. In turn, the new monitor makes going through the menu settings much easier and more logical. Keep in mind that the monitor now draws more power from the GoPRO HERO HD"s battery which can be recharged by simply connecting the supplied USB cable to your desktop or laptop.
