5K Video
Shoot stunning video with up to 5K resolution, perfect for maintaining serious detail even when zooming in. Packing a new 23.6MP sensor that’s an absolute powerhouse, HERO9 Black brings lifelike image sharpness, fluid motion and in-camera horizon leveling that always impresses.
20MP Photo with SuperPhoto
Capture crisp, pro-quality photos with 20MP clarity. And with SuperPhoto, HERO9 Black can automatically pick all the best image processing for you, so it’s super easy to nail the shot.
Built-in mounting
No more carrying a separate frame. Just flip out the folding fingers, attach your camera to any mount and go.
Front Display + Rear Touch Screen
A new, larger rear touch screen with touch zoom on HERO9 Black should feel instantly familiar and a dazzling new front display makes for easy framing and intuitive camera control.
Powerful battery
30% longer battery life is here thanks to a larger 1720mAh battery. This lets you shoot more without having to swap out batteries and packs enough juice to power your camera through the cold.
HyperSmooth 3.0
Experience ultimate smoothness with our most advanced video stabilization ever. HyperSmooth 3.0 enables in-camera horizon leveling and boost in all settings.
Horizon Leveling
In-camera horizon leveling (up to 45% tilt) is now possible with the new Linear + Horizon Leveling digital lens-helping your footage stay stable and straight.
TimeWarp 3.0
Record mesmerizing time lapse scenes as you move on the road, on foot or anywhere else. TimeWarp 3.0 condenses time, capturing moments like nothing else. Speed Ramp is a new capability that lets you select Real Speed (now with audio) or Half Speed while recording.
Intuitive touch screen
Be a smooth operator. With a touch screen, it’s easy to control your camera. Or frame up your shot, play back footage and snap a selfie in HERO mode.
Live Streaming in 1080p
Live stream in 1080p on social, get HyperSmooth stabilization as you broadcast via the GoPro app and save footage to your SD card to check out later.
Webcam mode
Connect HERO9 Black to your computer to broadcast in 1080p full HD. Use GoPro mounts to create your ideal webcam setup.
Rugged + Water-resistant
Shoot in the gnarliest conditions imaginable. HERO9 Black can take it. It’s tough as nails, and water-resistant down to 33ft right out of the box.
Power tools
HERO9 Black comes with Power Tools-a full suite of smart capture settings that extend the capture options beyond simply pressing the shutter button. Power Tools include HindSight, LiveBurst, Scheduled Capture and Duration Capture.
Night Lapse Video
Shoot awesome time lapse videos at night in 4K, 2.7 4:3, 1440p or 1080p, all processed in-camera.
Digital lenses
Epic shots are as easy as tapping a digital lens. Now you can switch between Narrow, Linear, Wide, SuperView and Linear + Horizon Leveling.
Voice control
Go hands-free with 14 voice commands like “GoPro, take a photo.” Even if the camera is off, you can say, “GoPro, turn on.” HERO9 Black understands English (US, UK, AU and India), French, Spanish (EU and NA), and more.
Portrait orientation
Capture photos and videos in portrait orientation-perfect for your Snapchat and Instagram Stories.
RAW Photo
RAW mode delivers the most flexibility, is available for time lapse and burst photos, plus it works in single- or multi-shot sequences.
8x Slo-Mo
Everything looks epic in slo-mo. Ultra high frame rate 1080p video-with HyperSmooth 3.0 stabilization-allows up to 8x slow motion for this ever-popular effect.
USB-C Offload to Android devices
Transfer pics and videos fast via USB-C cable. Perfect for when you want that old-school connection. Compatible with Android devices.

4k/5k Action Camera
||Posted .Great flexible accessory. I will be using the GoPro Hero 9 as a secondary webcam for my ATEM Mini. I will also use it outside during the extreme cold weather instead of my Primary Mirrorless camera. I love the front and rear color display and I am glad the Best Buy had the GoPro Hero 9 Media Mod in stock so I can connect my RodeWireless Mike. This was a lot cheaper than purchasing another 4k/5k camera and it will get the job done for me.

Q: QuestionWhen does this special offer expire? 399.00 was 449.00
Asked by Chas.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionHow many hours of 5k video will you be able to fit on a 128gb,256gb, 512gb micro sd card? Also do samsung micro sd cards work or is sandisk recommended?
Asked by Sreenadh.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionWhy do you need a subscription for a GoPro hero 9
Asked by Terry.
- A:Answer 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.
Answered by GoPro Support
Q: QuestionDoes Best Buy offer the same discount for GoPro Plus subscribers that the GoPro site does? Seems like they should. I'd buy it from Best Buy immediately if I was offered the same discount.
Asked by tmflatblack.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionHow long does the battery last?
Asked by Mike.

Answered by RetiredTech
Q: QuestionIs a special case needed? Are there corrosion issues for being in salt water? Camera will only be used while surfing. I have issues with my Hero 7 that the battery door has major issue with corrosion due to being in salt water frequently.
Asked by Surf0831.
- A:Answer 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.
Answered by GoPro Support
Q: QuestionWill the batteries and charger from my Hero 5 work with the GoPro 9 and do the cases for the 5 work with the 9?
Asked by JB.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: Questioncan you use the gopro hero 9 at night, does it have a flash
Asked by chuck.
- A:Answer Yes it can be used at night. It has a night time lapse mode. No it doesn’t have a flash.
