The crew at GoPro unveiled their new camera, HERO9 Black last week and there’s plenty of reason to get excited and put it on your Christmas list.
From 5k video with 20 megapixel photos to HyperSmooth 3.0 video stabilisation, horizon leveling, a new front-facing display, a larger rear display, 30% more battery life, and a Max Lens Mod accessory that brings Max HyperSmooth video stabilisation and Max SuperView ultra wide-angle photo options.
Phew! That’s a lot of punch in a tiny little camera.
GoPro has also eliminated plastic from HERO9 Black’s packaging and added value by packaging the camera in a high-quality travel case that fits additional mounts and accessories.
But wait, there is always more, right?
Add a new 1.4” front color display with live preview and status modes, a larger 2.27” rear touch display with touch zoom, 1080p live streaming and 1080p webcam mode, RAW photos, digital lenses, voice control with 14 commands in 11 languages, 3 microphones to reduce wind noise and built in folding mounting fingers.
Did we mention it’s waterproof to 10 metres?
Add the All-New Max Lens Mod for HERO9 Black
The all-new Max Lens Mod brings unbreakable Max HyperSmooth video stabilization and low-distortion, ultra-wide Max SuperView to HERO9 Black at up to 2.7K60 resolution. Max Lens Mod also allows for horizon lock even when the camera is rotated a full 360°.
This enables mind blowing creative versatility for social media producers, film and television professionals and weekend warriors, alike.
