GoPro Hero9 Black hands-on: A monster camera with a ton of tools

Just bought a Hero 9 Black as an upgrade to my older model and was very disappointed. Unlike Hero 7 you'll need an add-on Media Pod to get HDMI output (original C-port was blocked for video output). Also preview during recording on phone apps is not supported. Seems like Gopro is taking all its customers as suckers. Time to switch!

🤣🤣🤣

Nice

Gopro 9 is missing a very important feature: Live Preview on the Gopro app is not supported while recording video. That feature was available in the previous versions. Most of the time I use my phone to preview what I am recording. By missing the said feature, I can no longer frame/record perfect shots when my Gopro is 20ft in the air on a monopod/selfie stick. Very disappointing.

buggy!!!!!

Very cool video. Covers a lot quickly. Helpful. Thank you !

What a review! Is this a review?

Great work man. Keep it up.

Did it freeze on you yet

But I want to know about how well it shoots in low light and how is the sound recording.

I was hopping the 9 would have motion detection to catch candid shots of people, wildlife etc. Maybe the 10 will have it :-/

Stay away from GoPro Hero9 as it is not compatible with 3.5mm Mic Adapter. So we can not use our own microphone but we have to use gopro's media mod. GoPro does not want us to use our own microphone. they disabled the support to use adapter with the latest firmware 1.21. Be careful guys.

Good video! Thx!

The most important addition to the GoPro Hero 9 is "Horizon leveling," which wasn't even mentioned!

Thanks so I have Hero 6 and Hero 8, I am waiting for Hero 10 at 500 bucks so I can complain about heating, freezing and other problems with GOPRO that we all have accepted.

GoPro: Free Camera 📷 replacement with no question 💪
Reality: You have to pay 😈 99$ fee for that replacement 😈

GoPro has left the chat 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

sorry but this is no monster, actually is downgrade from hero 8 in terms of low light ... and this price almost 500eur for action cam? 400 is max what should be priced

I have ordered one, should be here tommorow £349 in the uk with subscription and 2 extra batteries for £26

I am actually waiting for the 10th one expecting like something big for being 10 th generation. This one looks solid, hope next version is even better.

Is the media mod for the 9 also going to come out after the go pro 10 comes out? My pre order for my media mod is still nowhere to be found

how much space cost 15 minutes of recording?

Good review...

It's like when mobile phones got bigger 👀 and now look

Gopro hero7 still VERY GOOD.

In a tik tok world...this is perfect. or not.

Excellent review. Thank you!

so did they fix low light ? record ? cos that was the biggist let down of the cam ,,,, i had the 7 and u could not film in doors always had to be outside with sun light

Good vibes guy.

Hero 9 is chonk

My main reason for sticking with my ancient Sony 3000xdr is that even though it's still their most current model at over 4 years old now, it actually does things I need that GoPro in 2020 doesn't, or at least didn't.

Firstly it shoots passably in low light which I found go pro horrible at, secondly the sony mic is actually pretty decent and it's got external mic jack, go pros had terrible audio and no mic jack, and third and most importantly - it consistently worked - didn't freeze, over heat or just get bored of filming my admittedly rubbish life and decide to stop on its own.

If the Hero 9 can do all of these things that my 4 year old Sony can - then I'm gonna buy one, because it's waterproof, I prefer the square form factor and the touch screen and view finder and like the added stabilisation and hypertension/hyperextension/hyper whatever thing - I want that.

If it can't I'm stuck in 2016 forever with Sony cos they're clearly too lazy to make a new one

The quality doesn't look very good. Too much sharpening going on there.

Sooooooo i'm guessing i should wait on buying a Hero 8 then huh?

What about the audio? This is the most important thing for sports like cycling. All the last GoPro's sucked.

remember guys! adventure not included in the box! 🤷‍♀️🤷😅😂🤣

Nice review 👍

Super cool.. So.. When is the give away? 😁✌

I love Hero

What about external microphone?

I bought my GOPro Hero 8 Black 2 months ago from Costco. I can return it. YEah

yay, I bought my one too! Thanks for your video.

now let sell all old compatible accesorry to colectionist. .... hmmmm. But if that is progres i can do it.

still no external microphone with jack - this is main reason I will not buy

Intéressant

Just bought the 8 3 weeks ago FML

sandy hook, i saw the video on your other channel and recognized brookdale park. dude you're from around where i'm at

The problem already gopro drain battery 🔋 crazy once you set it up 4k wonder how it does with extra display i guess they should focus on battery consumption before adding more drain to battery

Just started a new channel using my GoPro go check it out

the image smoothing is crazy

How much is the subscription then? $100?

Am a tricker and I have a youtub channel but I don't have money to buy a GoPro if u can then plz help me

Bro can u plz gift me one plz
