GoPro Hero 10 Overheating: 40 Tests Later

In this case, after nearly a month of testing the GoPro Hero 10 Black in daily use (actually, two cameras), I posted my full in-depth review. In any event, after launch, I had seen some reports of overheating on the Hero 10. Of course, overheating of cameras and action cameras is nothing new. Be it past GoPro’s, or even my phone – in the right hot conditions a camera will overheat. Generally speaking, such overheating usually comes from lack of airflow over a device – something that didn’t really impact my previous GoPro Hero 10 testing.

What I thought would be a simple video ended up turning into a rabbit hole of astronomical proportions. Some 40 tests in all, including dive cases to the bottom of the lake, superheating my bathroom to 104*F, and a never-ending bout of cycling in circles to try and figure out when and where it’ll overheat. There’s some pretty interesting surprises in there too!

Here's the PDF from the video, that consolidates all of my test data: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/images/2021/10/GoProHero10-OverheatingData.pdf - Note this is as of October 1st, 2021 with the latest production firmware from Hero 10 launch day till Oct 1st, 2021. This does not account for any changes made in GoPro's planned November 2021 Hero 10 Black firmware update (be it good or bad).

Settings for all tests were: GPS on, Bluetooth On (WiFi on standby, but not on - WiFi on a Hero 10 is only leveraged when fully streaming to phone app, or uploading to GoPro cloud), normal bitrate unless stated otherwise (some tests were high, didn't matter), Image Stabilization to Boost on all tests, picture file at Natural. All other ProTune settings reset to defaults. Voice control off (as I didn't want tests accidentally turning off due to random talking).
