HERO9 Black
GoPro launched the HERO9 Black with a new sensor capable of recording 5K video and capturing 20-megapixel photographs. HyperSmooth 3.0 added horizon levelling, while the company claimed approximately 30 percent longer battery life than the preceding generation.
The optional Max Lens Mod combined Max HyperSmooth stabilisation with an ultra-wide Max SuperView field of view. The camera also introduced a front-facing display and a larger rear display.
Pricing and Availability
At publication, GoPro listed the HERO9 Black at €479.99, or €379.98 with a one-year GoPro subscription. Those historical prices and offers may no longer apply.
Crews should test stabilisation artefacts, heat, battery endurance and media performance under their actual recording settings before deploying an action camera in production.
The launch details appeared on the GoPro blog and the HERO9 Black product page.
