and above the Hero 9’s high bit-rate mode records at up to 100Mbits/sec, with the standard bit-rate option topping out at 60Mbits/sec. You can toggle wind reduction and even opt to record a RAW audio track with a user-determined level of processing. There is a fairly major change to using your GoPro for live streaming or as a webcam over USB-C, a feature that was available in GoPro’s Labs beta library before being released fully alongside the Hero 9 Black. Designed to cut down on camera shake even in incredibly jolting and bumpy filming scenarios, the latest version is nothing short of astounding.

But that was before he discovered the strange joys of getting up at 4am for a photo shoot in London's Square Mile. sensor is also exactly the same size as its predecessors, making it significantly smaller the 1-inch Edition module for the Insta360 One R. GoPro cameras already do much better than almost all the competition in wooded areas, judging by our testing, so this is is a handy image quality boost over the cameras from Insta360 and DJI. Alternatively, it can act more like the GoPro Hero 8 Black’s front display and show the camera status.This year is no different; pandemic notwithstanding, the Hero 9 arrives precisely as the weather starts to cool. While there was a firmware update earlier this year to allow the Hero 8 Black to be used as a webcam, the Hero 9 Black includes it right out of the box.

To see how big an improvement the Enduro is over GoPro's standard 1,720mAh cell, we ran some tests over both type of batteries in a Hero 10 Black. MP grabs from video, which is one of its killer features; it means you can extract decent quality photos of jumps, turns and other ‘moments’. A bunch of everyday ones are pre-programmed in from the start, but the GoPro enthusiast will want to bin them all and make their own, if only to rename them “dogcam”, “bikecam”, “family trips” and so on. Another improvement is the packaging – the HERO 9 is GoPro's first camera to ship without plastic packaging, instead arriving in a zippered travel case – one less accessory to lay out for, and less packaging to wrestle with – win, win. The GoPro Android app is surprisingly finicky about connections too, occasionally losing connection and finding it tricky to reconnect, although this was during intensive testing as opposed to normal use.This is not a 3D camera, though, so instead you're getting greater cross-referencing of frames to improve the final footage. In a particularly well-timed nod to the remote-working world of the ‘new normal', GoPro has added the ability to use the HERO 9 as a cabled webcam. This generation doesn’t have big design changes like those introduced in the GoPro Hero 9 Black, which may come as a relief to most users, since accessories and Media Mod add-ons won’t suddenly become obsolete.

This is a feature of software stabilization, so will only apply to cropped views, not the 'digital lens' that offers the widest field of view. Pair that with a new sensor that captures 5K video, a full-color front screen, and the ability to pull 14-megapixel stills from video, and you have a compelling reason to upgrade if you haven't done so in a few years. The big change with the HERO 10 was the introduction of a new chipset, which translates to an all-round zippier camera, with faster transfers and quicker boot times. Right now, the Hero 8 Black pips it for sheer value, but this feature-packed sibling is a close second.The refinements made to the overall design, UI and performance all come together to create a solid, versatile action camera – and the Hypersmooth 3. While the new sensor and front display are useful additions, the changes don't collectively represent a big leap over the Hero 8 Black. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest.

You can set up your shot, leave the camera outside your tent, and sleep in while the Hero 9 does all the work. In a side-by-side 4K test with the Hero 8, the Hero 9 lasted 23 minutes longer, running for a full 2 hours and 11 minutes. Meanwhile, the inclusion of a front-facing colour screen for the first time, makes the Hero more accessible to new users and opens up a whole new world of selfie-style shooting. The latter brilliant for time-lapse shots, just set and forget, while the former adds real magic to the mix, enabling you to capture up to 30 seconds of footage before you hit the shutter button – a huge boon for those of us who realise too late that something awesomely video-worthy just happened. However, it can host either a ‘full screen’, ‘actual screen’ or live preview, used only as a status screen, or deactivated entirely.As an example, you could have a fast-motion time-lapse of you ascending the mountain, a few seconds of real-time, regular speed video and audio of a conversation at the peak, then back to a time-lapse for the descent. Previous GoPros have all had monochrome displays, which show shooting info like the remaining battery life, how much space is left on your memory card, and your current resolution/frame-rate. My observations are a lot looser, based around deciding to take the Hero 9 Black for a run/walk/weekend away an hour before doing so.
