MagyarGoPro Hero 10 Black Bones presented as an ultra-light 5.3K camera for FPV drones
GoPro has revealed the Hero 10 Black Bones, a new entry in the Hero 10 range. Built around the same camera, CPU, HyperSmooth video stabilisation and lens as the Hero 10 Black, the Hero 10 Black Bones can shoot videos in 4K at 120 FPS or 5.3K at 60 FPS. As its name suggests, the Hero 10 Black Bones is a stripped-back version of the Hero 10 Black that is designed to sit atop First-Person-View (FPV) drones.
Specifically, GoPro has dispensed with the battery, displays, speakers and waterproof housing from the Hero 10 Black. As such, the Hero 10 Black Bones weighs 54 g, down from 150 g with the Hero 10 Black. Theoretically, the 96 g weight saving allows the Hero 10 Black Bones to be carried by more drones, while extending their battery life in the process.
Unfortunately, the lack of a built-in battery means that you must connect it to an FPV drones' battery. According to GoPro, the Hero 10 Black Bones features a standard FPV industry connector and can be powered by 5-27 V batteries. Currently, GoPro lists the Hero 10 Black Bones as being 'US only', where it retails for US$399.98 with a 1-year GoPro subscription. However, the company also lists the camera on its German and UK websites for €529.99 and £479.99, respectively.
For reference, a GoPro subscription includes unlimited cloud backup, auto uploads and use of the Quik app. Also, GoPro throws in 50% off products on its website and a 'no-questions-asked camera replacement'. Alternatively, the Hero 10 Black Bones costs US$499.99 without a GoPro subscription. It remains to be seen why GoPro lists the camera on other regional websites if it only plans to sell it in the US.
