Good for the price
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good for what it is, everything will always need improvements, it seems that just batteries and new lenses are the only thing I find even remotely disappointing, bought a polarized filter because the stock settings let in too much light still for day filming and now it looks great, the stabilization is a major feature that made it worth the money for me

Worth the cost
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

My 3rd Go Pro
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved the expression on the faces of friends I gifted as Christmas presents both the 10 and the 9 series. Priceless!!I personally use the Go Pro Max as a backup while operating a commercial vehicle daily to justify any complaints about aggressive driving or improper operation of a class 8 semi tractor trailer . With the application QUICK i can edit scroll and capture scenic memories and store those images in the cloud. I’ll definitely be purchasing more series of the Go Pro because of the versatility of the different models and their price. To date I’ve never encountered any problems with the functionality of the equipment except for normal wear and tear of the multiple accessories from the vast selection of gadgets and gizmos The price doesn’t come close to the satisfaction you get when you gift it to friends or family. Well worth the price MikeC Set

Essential Vacation Item to Have for Adventuring
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Exceptional Video Quality!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this prior to a hiking trip to look back to it in the future and it was a joy to see the high video quality! Very smooth, clear audio, and decent battery life. I also bought additional accessories, such as a helmet specifically to hold the go pro. The batteries are also rechargeable and you can buy additional ones to replace with when one of the batteries run out of juice, which helped me be able to record my whole trip. It was the perfect purchase and I am continuously using it during my hikes.

Awesome camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first time I used the camera, it worked perfect. I did not charge it that night because I assumed the battery would hold its 90% charge. The next morning, it was dead and did not turn on. Not sure what that was, but it was the only issue and it has not happened again. The camera has worked perfectly since. This is my 3rd gopro.

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.

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: 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: 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: QuestionCan I use the go pro 9 in the ocean or just fresh water?
Asked by Carter10133.
- A:Answer 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.
