Best GoPro Ever | Review by Erik VlietinckGoPro HERO9
The GoPro HERO9 is a beast. It has a bigger battery and the inevitable somewhat
bigger body, a front-facing LCD screen, and a removable lens cover. Its capabilities
are just as competition-crushing with 20-megapixel (MP) photos, video maxing
out at 5K30, and the 23.6-MP sensor enabling frame grabs of 14.7-MP. In addition,
HyperSmooth 3.0 can be enabled so all settings can have gimbal-like performance,
and TimeWarp 3.0 has an enhanced speed ramp to slow action to real speed with
audio, or half speed while recording. If you’re not drooling by now, how about
Horizon Leveling that works like magic and, my personal favorites, HindSight and
Scheduled Capture. Oh, and Webcam mode is thrown in for good measure.
The HERO9 puts you in full control and goes beyond the camera as such. With
its 5K resolution, you can edit your footage better than what you could with a 4K
clip, including stabilization and the ability to better frame the shot, inclucing framing
yourself, etc.
The camera does it all with gusto and precision. I can tell from experience with
the HERO2, 3, 3+, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 that the current HERO9 Black has the capabilities,
the quality of output, and the features to go far beyond where other action cameras
have gone and are going. It’s become a true creative tool for anyone shooting
anything from casual video to a carefully managed film project, from simple action
footage to B-camera functionality, or shooting a documentary that requires the
camera to activate itself and shut itself down again.REVIEWS
