GoPro’s FPV drone camera is the start of its new age of anti-Heros

GoPro’s discontinued Karma drone had such a bad take-off in 2016 that you’d forgive its cameras for never wanting to fly again. But its new Hero for FPV (first-person view) drones reveals a more sensible, laser-focused approach that should help banish those ghosts – and gives us an intriguing glimpse of what other Hero cameras to expect this year.

The Hero 10 Black Bones is the really anti-Karma. Rather jumping outside its comfort zone and building a drone with an unfortunate tendency to lose power mid-flight, GoPro has instead stripped down its flagship action cam and made what looks like the perfect little camera for FPV fans. You can see why in our hands-on GoPro Hero 10 Black Bones review.

When it comes to product launches, this is about as close to a guaranteed home run as you can get. Yes, FPV drones are still pretty niche, but a significant number of pilots have been reverse-engineering Hero action cameras to make them suitable for small drones for years. The growing community has also frequently pleaded with GoPro to make a newer version of its previous tiny action cam, the Hero Session (which arrived back in 2015).

Well, the Hero 10 Black Bones is that camera. And that means we can expect to see a lot more videos like Tesla’s swooping Gigafactory tour. The only real downsides are that Bones is currently US-only, with GoPro telling us “we do not have a date yet for international availability”. And the fact that it’s strangely more expensive than the Hero 10 Black, despite that fact that ‘Bones’ lacks the display, battery, speaker, GPS, or waterproof build quality of its all-rounder sibling.
