GoPro Hero 9 Black Review: More screens, more resolution, more stabilisation

With 5K recording, a front-facing screen and a bigger battery, GoPro’s Hero 9 Black is the best action camera yet

Fantastic video stabilisation; Practical front-facing screen; Improved battery life; Interchangeable lenses;

Touchscreen can be under-responsive; Won’t fit some older accessories;

GoPro HERO9 Black CHDHX-901-RW review

The GoPro Hero 9 Black’s most important changes are to do with ease of use rather than image quality, but there’s nothing wrong with that.

Longer battery life; Image quality and stabilisation are excellent; Useful front display

Similar 4K image quality to Hero 8 Black; but with greater contrast; The price jump is significant; Still pretty poor at night

GoPro HERO9 Black CHDHX-901-RW review

The GoPro HERO 9 Black rocks a front-facing colour screen and boosted specs across the board, yet GoPro has kept complexity to a minimum, meaning pretty much anyone can pick up a HERO 9 Black and shoot genuinely impressive 5k video.

Massive specs on every front; Potent but easy for beginners to use; Extremely robust build quality

On the heavier side for some mounts/applications; Voice controls improved but still slightly buggy

GoPro HERO9 Black CHDHX-901-RW review

The GoPro Hero 9 Black is the most powerful and versatile action camera you can buy, but for most people its predecessor offers better value. While the new sensor and front display are useful additions, the changes don't collectively represent a big leap over the Hero 8 Black.

5K video delivers more detail; Front display is handy for vlogging; Improved battery life; New software tricks

Unresponsive touchscreen; Little improvement to 4K shooting; Still no 4K/120p mode; HEVC files need recent editing hardware

GoPro HERO9 Black CHDHX-901-RW review

Boosts in all the right places make the Hero9 Black the pinnacle of action cam excellence, but if you don’t need 5K, you may well be better off with last year’s model.

Better battery despite two screens; Sharp and stable 5K video; In-device horizon levelling

Overheats after 30 minutes of 5K capture; Slightly narrower field of view than Hero8 Black; Bulkier than the dinky Hero8 Black

GoPro HERO9 Black CHDHX-901-RW review

GoPro's Hero9 Black action cam delivers excellent, stabilized 5K video and ups still quality, but not everyone should spend more when the Hero8 Black is still available for less.

Up to 5K quality at 30fps; Front-facing color LCD; Exceptional video stabilization; Up to 240fps HD slow motion; Time-lapse; buffering; and HDR imaging; USB-C charging; Strong app support; Compact and waterproof

You'll likely want to carry extra batteries; Subscription service adds recurring costs; Discounted pricing not available from all retailers

GoPro HERO9 Black CHDHX-901-RW review

“The Hero9 Black is as good as it gets, but its major improvements hold little real-world benefit over the Hero8.”

Front screen; Larger rear screen; Higher-capacity battery; Supports Max Lens Mod; 24MP stills

Bulkier compared to Hero8; 5K video feels pointless; Incompatible with Hero8 Media Mod

GoPro HERO9 Black CHDHX-901-RW review

GoPro’s slogan for the Hero 9 launch is “More everything,” and there really are enough new things here for that to feel fair. GoPro regulars will appreciate the higher resolution, while the new front screen fends off competition from DJI.

Great bundle price; Full color front display; 5K video and 20-megapixel photos; Improved battery life; Useful new shooting modes/features

Larger than before making some accessories redundant; Heavier than the (bigger) Max; No new slo-mo speeds

GoPro HERO9 Black CHDHX-901-RW review

GoPro has been the industry standard for action cameras for over 15 years. It wasn’t until a few years ago that brands such as DJI and Insta360 began making action cameras with more features that challenged GoPro’s lead.

Crisp 5K footage; A useful front-facing screen; Still rugged build quality

More expensive than before; Slow HDR processing; Still needs a second battery for heavy use

GoPro HERO9 Black CHDHX-901-RW review

This is the most substantial update of the GoPro Hero Black range in several years. With 5K video, 20MP stills, 30% more battery life, improved stabilization and much more, the GoPro Hero9 Black is a formidable camera with a wide range of uses.

No need for waterproof housing; Dual Screen; 8X Slow-motion

Mods are expensive; Not great in low light
