When GoPro announced its new 4K-capable Hero4+ and the touchscreen model Hero4, there was one thing missing from the specs list: live streaming. Considering that Sony had implemented a live streaming function in its new Action Cam Mini only a short while ago, it seemed reasonable to expect the same functionality from GoPro.

Now, if you’re a GoPro user and have been waiting for a live streaming feature to be added to your favorite action cam, wait no longer, as Livestream has just added GoPro compatibility to its iOS app. What that means is that when you pair your GoPro with your iPhone, you can stream your wingsuit jump to the Internet in realtime using the Livestream app.

All you need for that is the app, which is free on iTunes, a compatible iOS device running system 6.1 or later, and a 4G connection that is capable of transferring the data in realtime. Your potential audience can then watch your stunts live via Livestream.com or using the Livestream app, provided they have installed it on their devices.

The newly added GoPro compatibility was demonstrated live over at Livestream.com on October 6 during a kitesurfing event on Coney Island, NY. You can re-watch it on Livestream’s website to get an idea of what is possible with the app and a GoPro camera.

GoPro Hero 10 Black: 7 things I love and 2 that I don’t

The GoPro Hero 10 placed in an outdoor environment.

The GoPro Hero 10 Black is the company's most recent addition to its action camera lineup. I've had a chance to spend almost eight weeks with the camera to find out if the on-page specs translate to real-world usage? Here's what I loved about the Hero 10 while using it in my day-to-day life and short travels.
Seven things I loved
More responsive
The GoPro Hero 10 is much more responsive than the previous iterations of the camera. When I reviewed the Hero 8 and Hero 9, one of my biggest concerns was usability. While the functionality was amazing, the usability was not. Well, no more.

Thanks to the new processor, the GoPro Hero 10's usability is as good as its functionality. GoPro has finally done justice to its camera. Navigating through the interface feels on par with my iPhone's camera app. The new camera was a joy to use, thanks to a more responsive interface.
Amazing photos and slow-mo

The 5 best new GoPro Hero 10 Black features I love to use

GoPro Hero 10 Firmware V1.2.

When I reviewed the GoPro Hero 10 Black in September, I couldn’t help but heap praise on it. Though it’s clearly an evolutionary update to the Hero 9, the Hero 10 goes far enough to offer very real advantages over its predecessor. Between its 5.3K 60 frames per second, upgraded image stabilization, and impressive cloud storage integration, it’s certainly the most powerful action camera available right now.

However, GoPro hasn’t rested on its laurels over the past several months. Over that time, they’ve offered major firmware upgrades and even a post-launch hardware upgrade. With the Hero 10 so dramatically changed since its original launch, it’s worth taking a look at to see what else you can expect from the camera here at the tail end of 2021.
Max Superview
The GoPro Hero 10 features a 4:3 format sensor, but most video these days is displayed in a 16:9 aspect ratio. That typically means either cropping the image or putting up with black bars on the side of the display. GoPro’s Superview mode stretches the edges of the image so that you can take advantage of the entire 4:3 sensor area, but display it on a 16:9 screen at the cost of a fisheye effect.
