- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Image Stabilization: Digital (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)

- Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 2.27 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)

- Varying Angle Screen: false (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 60 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
- HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)

Q: When does this special offer expire? 399.00 was 449.00
A: Buy directly from GoPro, not only is it $50 cheaper at $349.98, but you also get (1) an extra battery, (2) a 64GB SD card, and (3) a 1-yr subscription to GoPro. Waaaay better value there.
A: When shooting in 5K and using a 128GB SD card, you should get about 4 hours and 12 minutes of recording time on that card. For the other cards, you can multiply that time based on the size of the card you're using. For the sizes you've listed, for example, you should get about 8 hours and 24 minutes on a 256GB card and 16 hours and 48 minutes on a 512GB card. Sandisk and Samsung cards are on our list of recommended cards, but there are different models within each of these brands, so you will want to check with GoPro's list of recommended cards to make sure the card you're using is recommended.
Q: Why do you need a subscription for a GoPro hero 9
A: No, a subscription is not needed to use the HERO9 Black. A subscription will offer some benefits to your experience with the GoPro like the cloud storage, premium editing tools on the new Quik app, discounts, and camera replacements, but you can use the functions of the HERO9 Black fully with or without a subscription.
A: No. I asked for “price match” and they say they don’t do it because it’s part of a subscription for members of GoPro. Sorry. I wanted to buy it from them as well.
Q: How long does the battery last?
A: 2 hour + 10 minutes
A: The batteries for the HERO9 Black are unique to that model, so batteries from previous GoPro cameras will not work with the HERO9 Black. Likewise, because the HERO9 Black is a different shape and size than previous models, accessories like dive housings that enclose the camera will not work between the models. However, nearly all other accessories, including most mounts and the USB-C charging cable, will work with both the HERO5 and the HERO9.
A: No special case is needed unless you plan to take the GoPro deeper than 33 feet. If you are using the GoPro in salt water, it's always a good idea to rinse it off with fresh water after use.
Q: Can I use the go pro 9 in the ocean or just fresh water?
A: You can use GoPro cameras in either fresh or salt water. If you do use it in salt water though, because salt water can be corrosive, it's always a good idea to rinse the camera and other gear down with fresh water after use.

Worth the cost
We purchased the Hero 9 to put in my daughter’s race car so she can see how she is driving and the car is reacting. Love the voice automation feature. Me being short, I am not able to reach where the camera is mounted to turn it on. The image stabilization option is a huge plus. Because she races dirt track and the corners are curved and high banked, the picture always stays level when this feature is turned on. Before we would have to turn our heads quite a bit to see what she was doing due to the other GoPro we had didn’t have this option. The 8k picture quality is amazing. Watching her videos seems so realistic as if you were the one driving. My husband especially likes the tracking ability. Most of the time you never have to worry about someone stealing your belongings at the race track, but just in case, this feature is nice to have. The only negative thing I have to report is the battery life. Even with the wifi turned off, we are only getting about an hour worth of filming each time. By the time she finishes her races for the night, we usually only have about 10% battery life left. This doesn’t leave much time if there is an accident on the track that takes time to clear up. We ended up purchasing additional batteries to switch out after each race. Overall we are extremely pleased with the product and would definitely recommend it to others.

Essential Vacation Item to Have for Adventuring
This is our first GoPro purchase. We decided to go with the new GoPro- Hero9 because of the positive online reviews & user friendly features. We wanted a waterproof camera to use in & out of the water. We tested the GoPro9 when our surfer friend wore it on her wet suit. A few days later, we excitedly took GoPro9 to Big Island HI & got some amazing underwater footage using the video & photo. The colors were vibrant, the sound was clear & we even figured out how to Bluetooth pics & video right away to our friends & family by using the GoPro App. My teen daughter is the techie of the family, so she was fearless about diving in utilizing the camera, charging the batteries, uploading the pics & packing the camera for each days adventures. We also purchased the accessories & an extra battery which definitely came in handy since we were adventuring on land & underwater - from morning to every beautiful HI sunset! We highly recommend this GoPro Hero9, Accesories, micro SD card & 2 battery charger.

Love it
Love using underwater! The pictures are nice and clear. Battery lasts for 4 hours without turning off and if taking a lot of videos. Great for outdoors! My favorite features would be being able to see your selfie from the front part of the camera, and changing the video/camera/lapse setting by the button on the side. These features are super handy underwater.
