I have got my GoPro HERO10 Black and started to take some video with it. I mainly use MacBook Pro (macOS) as production computer.
According to GoPro Support article [How To Import Camera Files To A Computer Mac], there are 3 ways to do the export, viz.,
- Use Quik for Desktop (which is outdated as of 202208)
- Use an SD Card Adapter
- Use Image Capture
What is the reality?
- Quik for Mac fails to recognize the existance of video on GoPro HERO10 Black (maybe because of the fact of being legacy and outdated)
-
SD Card Adapter is not so convenient because of the uninstalling and installing process
-
Image Capture fails to recognize the existance of video on GoPro HERO10 Black (although the device is recognizable)
So as a result, there is no officially given convenient way to export DCIM from GoPro Cameras because of the buggy software implementation on GoPro cameras.
What other ways work?
More or less, I got suprised that GoPro cameras are in fact also Android devices when the Android File Transfer pops up at the time I connected my GoPro camera to my MacBook Pro.
Conclusion
GoPro team is good at making proper cameras but is not sufficient at making non-camera-centric software.
