  • I think the Hero 9 Black is their best GoPro since the update front the Hero 4 silver body style to the Hero 5 grey and then black body style. The Hero 9 is heavier than previous versions, but with the larger sensor and bigger batteries this is expected...

  • It's not perfect and frankly, I don't think any electronic device ever will be but the GoPro Hero 9 Black is very close in the current market. They've improved on several important areas for action cameras, introduced new features and delivered a truly gr...

  • Longer battery life, Front screen, Video / Still quality, Webcam capability
  • Didn't come with a 5K preset
  • What GoPro have done with the HERO9 is nothing short of amazing. In writing this review, I looked back on the history of GoPros and when you look at V3 and V4 GoPros, it is amazing just how far we've come in the past 5 years.Between the new front display...

  • Good, Rugged design, Excellent stabilisation, Improved battery life, Feature-rich software and app
  • Expensive, UI can be sluggish, Average low-light performance
  • Every year, GoPro tweaks and improves its main Hero line, and the Hero 9 Black is definitely one of its biggest upgrades yet. The front colour display, larger battery, and improved recording resolution all make it just a little easier and nicer to use. Ho...
