GoPro HERO 9 Black

The HERO 9 is somewhat heavier than its predecessors. I find the screen on the front useful for filming or photographing myself. Both the front and back screens are slightly larger, which gives me a better view of what I'm recording. I take sharp photos and videos thanks to the 23.6 megapixel sensor. The videos are also very smooth due to the powerful image stabilization. User-friendly operation I operate the HERO 9 very easily via the touchscreen. If I swipe from top to bottom or left and right, I end up in different menus where I adjust settings. For example, I determine whether I take a photo, video or timelapse. I also adjust the number of frames per second and the resolution. Don't have your hands free to operate the action camera? Then you just use the voice control. With the voice commands 'GoPro take a photo' or 'GoPro start recording' I take a photo without operating the camera with my hands. Sharp and stable images Thanks to the improved sensor with 23.6 megapixels, I can take sharp photos and videos. The HyperSmooth image stabilization has also been improved and I notice that well. When I attach the action camera to my bike, those videos are very stable. I already liked the HERO 8 image stabilization, but this one is even better. filming yourself I think the screen on the front of the camera is a good addition. If I want to film myself, I see exactly what I have in the picture and I no longer have to guess whether I am visible. What I find useful is that the screens on the front and back can be on at the same time, so I can quickly change perspective. I do notice that the screen is slow in 4K or 5K resolution. This has no effect on my videos, but is less pleasant to use. Larger screen The HERO 9 is heavier than I am used to from GoPro action cameras, because the model is slightly larger. The screens on the front and back are also larger. This allows me to see a little more clearly what I'm recording. Another plus of the design is the folding legs at the bottom. With this I attach it easily, without an extra frame. When I store the GoPro, I fold the legs, so it takes up less space in my bag.

Ready to use right out of the box!

In my opinion the best action camera at the moment! In use for a week now.... filming in 5K with the improved image stabilization (Hypersmooth 3.0) and the screen on the front is really an improvement over the previous GoPros. Features like TimeWrap 3.0 and Scheduled Capture complete the camera for me.
