A high quality filmmaking kit for video makers on the go, the creator edition is both affordable and portable.
GoPro Hero 10 Black Creator Edition MSRP $532.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The perfect portable and durable all-in-one camera kit for on-the-go video makers.” Pros Cons When I reviewed the Hero 10 Black last fall, I had barely any complaints worth mentioning besides the somewhat lackluster battery life. Now, with the GoPro Hero 10 Black Creator Edition, I can’t even nitpick that minor fault.
Light Mod: Illuminating dark places The LED Light Mod may seem like a tiny little thing, but it’s actually surprisingly bright, and it’s a major upgrade that’s useful in a lot of scenarios. The obvious situation is if you’re filming in low light or at night, conditions where most action cameras struggle. Another scenario is if you’re recording a backlit subject, in which case the LED light can help chase away some of those harsh shadows.
When the Volta is connected to the GoPro so that its built-in controls are operable, the combination is highly compelling. It makes it really easy to record photos and video without having to reach up and touch the camera itself. I also love that the Volta grip transforms into a tripod with such ease and that it includes a pop-out mounting bracket so you can attach the Creator Edition to a backpack or other object.
With the elephant in the room out of the way, I’m happy to report that the Creator Edition lives up to GoPro’s reputation for durability. As long as water is not involved, this thing can take a hit. I found this out first hand while testing, as while hiking cross-country through the depths of the temperate rainforest. The Creator Edition took a real tumble from where it was stowed on my pack.
