New GoPro Hero 10

I keep getting ads for the new GoPro, with the price marked down to $399.98, a reduction of $260. The reviews are great, but I hardly use the GoPros I have now. There are too many settings but only two button that do everything. Unless I use it all the time, I can't possibly remember the combination of button pushing to do what I want. If I were involved in some kind of "action" lifestyle, I would use it more, but I have to search for excuses to use it.

Do any of you use a GoPro on a regular basis?

I gave Go-pro4 to my Boss for the same reason you don't use yours much.

I have a GoPro Hero 3+ and more recently Hero 9. Like any other specialty tool in my tool box they aren’t used regularly but are nice to have in certain situations. The menu isn’t much different than any other mirrorless camera. You have to drill down through the selections to get what you want. Once you’ve done it a few times it isn’t bad. I’ve used my GoPro’s for Scuba Diving, Timelapse’s (Day and Night). Street photography ( mounted on a 6 ft paint pole in order to shoot street murals over fences, cars,etc. They are great little cameras to get creative with.

I have the GoPro 7 and 9. Don't see a need to get the 10.

Like everything else, I have several of them, both GoPro and generic. I even have video tutorials. I should spend some time with them and do some shooting.

I have a GoPro Hero 4 Black and rarely used it since unless I used the app, I had no idea what I was videoing.
I went with DJI Action Camera which has the whole back as a screen, and by touching the screen, it transfers to the front small screen for selfie videos. The older GoPro's had to be held steady or it made it hard to watch the video due to jumping around When DJI came out with the Action Camera, GoPro sales dropped. They had to catch up fast. DJI has Rock Steady....and it makes for a rock steady video.
Here is a link to the Action Cam:

That kind of action isn't part of my life anymore. My "action" now involves moving from the computer chair to the TV chair, bringing in firewood, cooking, and doing an imitation of some housekeeping.
