This is GoPro HERO9 Black.



The GoPro HERO9 Black has better video resolution than previous models and can shoot movies at up to 5K / 30fps. Of course, shooting at 4K / 60fps and 1080p / 240fps is also possible.



The maximum resolution of photography is 20 megapixels, and it is possible to take finer pictures than ever before.



The battery capacity has increased by 500mAh from the GoPro HERO8's 1220mAh to 1720mAh, which increases battery life by about 30%.



Also, the screen of GoPro HERO9 Black is not only the rear monitor ...



A small monitor has also been added to the front with the lens. This makes it easier to shoot while keeping yourself in the frame.



The camera shake correction function Hyper Smooth has evolved to '3.0', and it is now possible to maintain a straight horizon even if the camera itself shakes from side to side.



With GoPro HERO9 Black, you can even shoot movies in 8x slow motion.



With the GoPro HERO9 Black, you can also remove the lens and attach an optional module.



A wide variety of modules other than lenses are also available.



Of course, it's also waterproof, so you can dive to a depth of 33 feet without any additional protection.



In addition, the time lapse shooting function TIME WARP has also evolved to '3.0', and a 'half time' function that can create a time lapse movie twice as fast as the reality has been added.



By linking with the dedicated application, 'DURATION' that sets the length of recording time in advance and always keeps a log of the shot movie, and when you press the button, the movie shot 30 seconds before that point is recorded You can also use functions such as 'HIND SIGHT'. Also, if you use the newly added 'SCHEDULED CAPTURE' ...



You can set the time to start shooting.



By combining with 'DURATION', it is possible to set 'shoot a movie for 20 minutes from 5:30 am'.

If you watch the following movie, you can see how you actually tried using GoPro HERO9 Black.

Comparing the GoPro HERO9 Black (left) with the previous model GoPro HERO8 Black, you can see that the GoPro HERO9 Black is larger and thicker overall.



The top surface looks like this. The GoPro HERO9 Black weighs 158g, which is about 30g heavier than the GoPro HERO8 Black.



The bottom contained a structure for mounting the module.



The newly installed front screen seems to be perfect for shooting while keeping yourself in the angle of view.



Until now, you had to look at the video being shot on a linked smartphone to see if you and the background you wanted to project were included, but with the front screen you can see what is being shot at a glance. I will.



Therefore, it is possible to easily shoot a self-portrait movie outdoors.



The GoPro HERO9 Black has more batteries, but you still need a spare battery if you want to use it all day. Also, if you take advantage of dual screen and 5K shooting, it will consume more battery than the previous model GoPro HERO8 Black. When I tried using GoPro HERO9 Black under the same conditions as GoPro HERO8 Black, it seems that GoPro HERO9 Black could be used for about 30% longer.
