Gopro Hero10 Black
£330 / stuff.tv/h10b
At a glance it’s almost impossible to tell the Hero10 Black apart from its predecessor. Each is a little box with screens front and rear, and a lens housing that juts out. Under the hood, however, Gopro has truly levelled up its latest action camera – and much of that is down to the new GP2 processor. It’s more responsive and captures better images in all lighting conditions, while ‘nice to have’ features (better livestreaming and webcam support, faster wireless and wired transfer of video) iron out some old issues.

Beefed-up internals make the Hero10 Black a nippy, powerful, polished action cam
DJI Air 2S £861 / stuff.tv/air2s
DJI’S laurels remain assuredly un-rested-upon, and this may be its best drone yet: an almost perfect balance of portability, performance and price, ideal for novices but still able to produce nigh-on pro-level results.

DJI Mini 2 £409 / stuff.tv/mini2
