GoPro has launched the HERO10 Black Bones, a new camera that looks similar to the flagship HERO10 Black, but in a lighter form factor.
What Do Drone Race Pilots See? GoPro Footage vs. First Person View Feed
According to GoPro, the Black Bones camera is designed to weigh just 54 grams, making it easy to mount on drones for First Person View (FPV) camerawork. It can also be connected to a drone’s battery to extend its life, as long as it meets the drone’s specifications. Other features include HyperSmooth functionality and the ReelSteady desktop app.
The FPV videos GoPro is referencing are those viral videos of a drone flying through an area in a single shot. They specifically point to the Tesla Giga Factory tour and YouTuber jaybyrdfilms' bowling alley video as examples of this stunning camera work.
To ensure this quality, the Black Bones camera can record 4:3 video at 4K resolution and 60 FPS or 5K at 30 FPS. It can also record super slow-motion video at 2.7K resolution and 120 frames per second. The device's body is also well-ventilated for continuous cooling during long flights.
