GoPro Hero 9

Recently, GoPro introduced the new Hero 9, my experience before is usually it take a few months before we can have a chance to have it here in the Philippines.

Luckily, I was able to ordered the GoPro Hero 9 Black online, and my GoPro Hero 9 arrives after a week of waiting time.

GoPro Hero 9 can now take 5K video, it comes in a little bigger size compare to GoPro Hero 8, it also have a bigger battery and capacity, and it have a Front LCD Screen with Live review, the previous GoPro Hero come with a black and white Front LCD Screen but it does not show preview, it only gives information on shooting information and settings. The front lens cover is also removable like the previous pre Hero 8, but the design of Folding Fingers is the same as the GoPro Hero 8.

So GoPro was listening to consumer voice, because many prefer the lens cover to be removable.

Here are the main features of GoPro Hero 9, it comes with 20MP Camera, it can take 4K60 and 5K30 video, it is waterproof up to 33 feet or 10 meters, an improve Hypersmooth which is now called Hypersmooth 3.0, it can take Slo-Mo at 8x, you can now live streaming at 1080p, voice control, scheduled capture, Superphoto +HDR and you can also take RAW Photo. Also, Timewarp 3.0 also give an improve time-lapse video.

Pricing is different this time, you can buy GoPro Hero9 with Subscription at $349.98 which includes 1-years subscription to Gopro or $449.99 without subscription.

With subscription to GoPro, you get unlimited cloud storage, up to 50% off at GoPro.com, Total Camera replacement and 32GB SD card included.

Included in the box are GoPro Hero9 Black Camera, Rechargeable Battery, Curved Adhesive mount, Mounting Buckle, USB-C Cable, Thumb Screw and a Camera Case.

I welcome the change of GoPro packaging instead of the previous platic case, it comes with a Camera Case which is useful.
