Wrapping up
In a much earlier time, GoPros had no onboard stabilization. During this time handheld footage had to be taken with extreme care, and every twitch, glitch or pothole was recorded in clear precise details but this only made photo professionals try to edit and salvage things.
Since the introduction of the Hero7 there’s a feature installed moving forward to ensure brighter and lighter video modes, it was named the HYPER SMOOTH 4.0 this feature worked like magic and made the videos look sleek without having to make use of gimbal.
However with the GoPro Hero 10 the onboard stabilization is even better and it continues to work in a more perfect shape.
