While the video is exciting if not funny to watch, I opted to save a single frame as a still image. At one point, a member of the GoPro team fell out of the raft and into the river, but we were able to pull him back in within a few seconds, all of which was captured on video.
I opted to attach the Hero10 Black to my paddle using one of the available pole mounts.įor the next 20 minutes, a guide, myself and three other rafters went down the river, chanting and cheering as we navigated the rapids. It can, however, survive sitting outside during a light rain storm.
We had to remove the GoPro Hero10 Black from the Volta because it’s not waterproof enough to withstand dunking in 40-some-odd degree water. The weekend started off with a whitewater rafting excursion where we were encouraged to attach the Hero10 Black to our helmets, paddles, life jacket or hold it in our hand as we floated down the river. It has built-in Bluetooth that turn it into a completely wireless remote control.Ī fellow attendee of the Mountain Games told me at one point during the weekend “It’s like holding the power of Hollywood in your hand.” And while there’s plenty of hubris in the statement that also happens to be on the Creator Edition’s webpage on GoPro’s site, there’s also some truth to it. There’s a light that sits on top of the Media Mod which is essentially a case that has a built-in microphone, and adds a couple of extra ports - USB-C and a mini HDMI - for connecting your own external gadgets like a microphone to the GoPro.īelow the camera is the Volta Battery Grip that not only can provide enough power for an extra four hours of 4K recording to the Hero10 Black, but it also acts as a tripod with two legs that fold out of the handle. When you look at the complete Creator Edition setup, it looks somewhat intimidating. As someone who lives in Colorado and absolutely loves Vail, I jumped at the opportunity to spend a few days in the mountains with likeminded people, capturing everything from axe throwing to whitewater rafting on a GoPro.Īt the end of the long weekend, I came away with a newfound appreciation for what GoPro is in its current form, and what it’s clearly trying to become with products such as the Creator Edition and what’s been hinted at coming later this year.
And to prove it, GoPro invited a number of influencers, creators and a couple members of the media, including yours truly, to Vail, Colorado for the GoPro Mountain Games in early June. The Creator Edition makes it clear that GoPro wants to be viewed as a company with a camera that can do it all.
