At this point the only reason for me to upgrade from my Hero 8 would be that front facing screen 😅

8 is better than all in my opinion.

The most important selling point imo is the fantastic video stabilization, which is about the same on all three, so I bought a used 8.

Thanks for taking the time to set this comparison up!

I had issue with Go Pro switching off after around 5 minutes at 5.3K. It's due to overheating. I had it set to high bit. I think it's almost false advertising if it can't record more than a few minutes safely and that sort of resolution. I'll be curious for someone to do a underwater snorkel dive with a GoPro 10 and 5.3 K max bitrate to see if it's still overheats

Excellent video Brother,,, EXCELLENT... you gave a very good description and I love the way you simultaneously compared the cameras next to each other.

Thanks Ben, great comparison as usual!

Hardly any significant difference between the 8, 9, and 10... I'll definitely be keeping my Hero 8!

This made my head spin 😂 great video comparing all 3.. very helpful thank you!

I was eagerly waiting for this video...because every time you do such comparisons.......gopro 7,8,9 and now 10...you do really great in every step...nd i can say that ur every review of Gopro is deep and authentic...thanks sir🙏 I m big fan of ur...also Gopro

This videos must have taken a long time to edit. I love this, very thorough and well put together

Thanks for this Comparison Video, can't wait for your comparison of hero 10 and the Osmo action 2! Congrats on 400k💙

What an amazing comparison video... wasn't in the mood downloading al the info in my head, but this is amazing. subscribed

Thanks for the comparison... I JUST bought my 9 in March and felt the pressure to upgrade. I'll be just fine until an 11 or 12 drops in the future! 👍

I was in the live chat of your latest stream and loved to see you made another gopro video, they’re the best in my opinion.

upgraded to the 10 just on the image quality. the clarity is what I have been waiting for. it looks sharp and detailed. I was disappointed with the 9. I was thinking the higher megapixel on the 9 would help but it looked just like the 8 I had

Wow. 400k already well done. Great camera comparison 😻🙂

This video was so helpful and well constructed! Thank you

It must be me, but I thought the Hero 8 came out tops!!

I am very happy that I own a GoPro HERO 8. I usually use it when riding a motorcycle with a large displacement.Stable and rarely crashes. Although there is no automatic level, it is more realistic. I will not abandon it until it is broken~From Taiwan

There seems to be a lot of folks complaining about overheating issues. I'll stick with my 9 for right now. Thanxs for the review.

excellent presentation and video. Short, Sweet, and answers the questions. Great job and Thank you

Great comparisons for the latest 3 GoPros. Myself, I dont own a GoPro at this time. Do all three of them charge up batteries about the same time? And is it a very long time? just curious.

My Go Pro 9 has been pretty great so far. I may see what the 11 brings. Great video comparison 👍🏾

Hi ben Congrats 400K subscribers!! Hope you can make a another good video for us Love your video man ❤️from Malaysia

Was waiting for this video😍😍

Hey mate! loved your all videos your reviews makes thing easier to decide especially for action camera lovers. Love from Pakistan.

good to see, not in the brands pocket review !!!! got the DJI, but missing the level horizont. will wait to see the new dji or insta

"Newest is not always best" Ben Schmanke about GP10vs8 battery 🔋. Thank you man for clear and evident review ! 😉👍

Thanks for the video. I have the 9 without any bug issues. You can clearly see how much sharper the 10 is, but the 9 is still great. Not enough improvement for me to spend the money. Going to wait to see what they've held back for the 11.

Currently have the 8, I always noticed even in the flat colour profile that the blue tones always seemed a bit saturated. So far despite having 3 models released since its still not quite worth the upgrade for me personally though there are a few new features I do like about the 11. I didn't think the hypersmooth could get any better but it does! The horizon lock is nice because using the 8 on a monopod when snowboarding would sometimes flip the image, also the star trail feature seems neat, the 10 bit colour sounds cool. As far as the resolution goes, 5k doesn't interest me much as 1080p is still a fantastic resolution though the quality is better on the 11

thank you for the awsome quality compair clip and all the info that you provice

I had the 7 and had several issues with it. An upgrade to the 10 was the best thing I could do. No freezing and the image quality is WAY better. Tks for the video.

Wow, pretty disappointed with the 9 in this comparison. I'm considering the upgrade to the 10 from my 8, for the horizon lock, front-facing screen and less crushed shadows.

Awesome review!! Thanks for this

Congrats on 400k subscribers!

Congrats to 400K 🎉

Also, great review. I watched until the end and from the looks of your setup you don’t have no external mic. I personally like the blues of the sky on the 8. But just because of the front screen I’m stuck between the 9 & 10.

Very well made video, thanks!

I'll also hold onto my H8... that battery comparison did it for me- H10 is dead while we're still at 39% on the H8! Thanks for the review

Watched the 7v8v9 right before this,, good info and comparisons in both vids. Man they've come a long way. I haven't done anything with gopro since the hero3 for paintball/airsoft, and the 3 gave me tons of issues. Any recomendation between a hero as old as 7 all the way up to 10 for someone getting back into those as well as hiking and wanting something for video to record trips and needing it to attach to gear/packs? $300 at the moment maxes out budget but I dont mind waiting or possible sales like upcoming holiday ones. Thanks

Super helpful comparison video. Thanks for doing this! In my case, the 8 is great; seems the 9 and 10 just aren't worth the extra money

Comprehensive and awesome review for everyone! Thank you Ben! My 8 still works amazingly well and based on this and of course my agreement with you, it looks like I will be waiting another year at least! Cheers man!

Idk man I feel like the hero 8’s picture came out warmer and much more pleasing to the eye for some reason. The audio on the 10 does seem to be slightly better but it’s not night and day. For the price idk man.. that 8 seems to be a beast.

Congrats to 420k Subs! Nice.

Between the three for audio and video consideration I would go with the GoPro 8

nice review dude, thanks :)

Today I bought this amazing Gopro 10 guy for my vlog. Thanks for your excellent explanatory video to make my life easier.

this is the best comparison review video, thank you!

Thanks for sharing. My brother and I both have the 8, mine glitches and his doesn't. I have been waiting for the go pro 10 to come out. My computer can't handle editing a ton over 2.7k but the fps and low lighting seem like a nice upgrade.

I was kind of expecting this since GoPro for years have only done incremental updates. I think insta360 and DJI just came in messed it all up for GoPro. I’m more excited for their action/360 cameras. Especially now that 360 cameras with the invisible stick is becoming the go to and norm once quality gets better.

i like these comparisons. keep it up

Thanks after watching similar comparisons, for my first GoPro, today I went with the hero 8 ... only $280.00 now at their website. I did not see much of a difference, and I felt that hero 8 had a better picture than hero 9.

Great review! As a Hero 8 owner I've been trying to decide whether or not I should upgrade to the Hero 10. Happy Holidays!

Awesome review. Love your style. SUBBED

Very much helpful video as always

Dynamic range is better on the 8, interesting 🤔 Maybe due to the fact that the pixel size is bigger? Sad to see GoPro still stuck with a 1/2.3” sensor in 2021.

On my 75 inch 4K TV the hero 8 looks the best With the exception of the 4K slow Mo by a slight bit. I still think the best bet is a hero seven which can be had for $100 used.

Was waiting for this one. Thanks Ben. Now it is decision time!

Impossible video clarity u have given bro 💯

Great Video. I heard the battery overheats on the 10 really quickly. did you notice that being an issue?

My Hero 9 never freezes up but is so dang buggy. Glad to see they fixed this with the 10, but I still really like the 9 even with it being really annoying at times. Not time to upgrade.

Your video is very informative and it helped me make up my mind. Greetings from Lithuania

I've appreciated several of your very informative videos, and I'm probably getting a 9 soon. Regardless of which Hero I get, I've having trouble getting some audio info, so maybe you can help. Is there a USB-C cable/adapter that allows me to feed a stereo line in signal, probably via a TRS 3.5mm jack? I've found a GoPro combo cable, but I suspect it may only support a mono line in. It would also be ideal to be able to power the camera at the same time via that single USB-C port. Thanks to you or anyone who can clarify!

As always best compare video ! 👍

Congratulations for 400K Subscribers on KZfaq🎉 Love From INDIA.

So helpful! Thank you!

oh Gopro...I got the insta One R and I haven't used my GOpro 8 for ages...gosh...sure Gopro has better video than reframed 16x9 coming from the Insta but sometimes it's not just about the PQ but the joy of using a portable camera (I confess I don't jump off planes or that stuff but biking and walking is some sort of action!)...I don't see myself needing/buying a newer Gopro...nope..I may consider a DJI osmo action 2 (if that ever happens...may be vaporware!)...a new 360 with better resolution and a useful iphone app would definitely get my money...but we'll see...thanks for the amazing video. So much work..so much dedication...amazing

It is good presentation. I like the way you make comparison

I just sold my 9 after a couple of months, didn’t empress me a all. I stick to my Insta one r 1 inch, and now had to decide if I’ll go for the hero 8 or 4K module for insta. 🤔 Im pretty impressed how the hero 8 still holds on. 👍

At the 1:10 minute mark pause it. You see alot of details on the t-shirt from the 10 the 8 you see some but the 9 you see nothing looks like a plane t-shirt. Best gopro comparison yet Thanks. I enjoyed it.

Great review!

Looking forward to your GoPro 10 vs Insta 360 X2 comparison. Thanks!

I just got an 8 and I love it. I've always wanted a GoPro and finally got one. Now I can't wait to see what the 11 brings. I'm thoroughly hooked

Higher quality isn't always perceived by our brains as a good thing. The overall camera has to be incredibly balanced with it's abilities, and for that I think the 8 wins.

Appreciate the video, probably sticking with my H8. Especially staying clear of that H9. Really looking for something that does well in low light but I'll probably just get a portable light.

Cool that you compared, and like your thoughts on it...however I would have appreciated a little bit more scientific approach than... almost zero. I'm sorry to say this, let me explain what I'm talking about and looking for: dynamic range is one of the most important things for these tiny cameras and a pro cinematographer's greatest concern - This is something you dont compare (dont even mention) with auto settings - you were actaully comparing auto exposure settings that point. The proper way would be manual fixed settings, all same on all cameras, then load it in e.g. Davinci or any software capeable for basic Color Correction and crank shadows and highlights and see how much data is hidden in each, how noisy it gets. Aslo comparing the high FPS modes, you need to crop to pixel level and compare details getting noise or washed due to bitrate differences. Also pros use flat color profile and tune them in post and after a certain level of tweaking noise comes in - better sensor and image processor must achieve clearer image... etc.

Great comparison, thank you!

The Best and the most honest comparison I've seen...

For a starting camera, with intention to start video logs, zero experience, entry level... will you recommend trying 8 because is cheaper and there is not guarantee the blog will success or will be easier with the newest option 10?

Ty for sharing bro 😎

wow just loved your video bro really helped me to choose a go pro, i will be going with the 8 or 10 not the 9, thanks bro!

just upgraded from the 7. seems like a really capable camera so far

What a great video. First and only im watching. you covered it all! Im getting the 8. +Sub

Thank you for the excellent video!

Finally waited so long

Excellent Test !!!

Great Video man, tnx a lot

Yup, "DJI Action2" is just around the corner. I saw a leak graphics from the camera manual: it's gonna be still 4k(120fps) but this time modular like Insta ONE R with possible running with only one module (something close to GoPro Session). I'm pretty sure that some influencers like DCRainmaker are already testing it and we can expect the release day somewhere in November, before X-mass rush.

Thanks! Awesome video!

Me encantan los vídeos que haces son excelentes! Nos sirve a la hora de elegir que nos conviene, pero sin embargo siempre me quedo fascinado con el lugar donde vives , es espectacular! Parece un lugar muy tranquilo! Saludos desde Argentina!

Please bring that hero 10 vs 13 pro max ASAP.. can't wait for this

I just wanna say the size of your cahones is being undervalued after you chased those geese into the pond during the 120 fps demonstration...respect...you risked your life for us and I will not forget that.

Thanks Ben. Very useful. Can you please share details on that mutli-cam mount you used??? Thanks

Play this at 0.25 speed and you'll hear the audio difference varies greatly between 10-9-8 where it is best with 10, 2nd place is 9, last place and clearly distorted is 8. While also playing at slower speeds 9 showed glare but little to any difference between the 3. Honestly the dynamic range showed more shadowing just after exiting the tunnel with the 8 which is a preference choice as many photographers/videographers may want to keep the shadows and some may not. It will lose the details versus if you don't want them and want to edit it out later. I'm actually surprised that the person editing this didn't think to run this captured video in a slower speed because the difference is clear on normal speed but very apparent at slower speeds.

great review I have a go pro hero 8 black i just got this year September 2021 I see a few differences but I am not goin to be camera hopping to keep up with go pro they already rich and my 8 does the job they all serve a purpose the 8 is fine for me.

I currently don't have a GoPro, and before watching this video I was trying to choose between the Hero 9 ($200) and Hero 10 ($250). Thanks to your video, the clear choice is the 10 mainly due to the GP2 chip. Thanks for a great video!

Thank you for the comparison video. I would really like to know about RTMP streaming on all three, is it the same? Set up via phone and then gopro connects to specified wi-fi network?

What about the 8 vs the 7?? I was thinking of getting one but I like cheaper budget!

Thanks for video bro
