The GoPro Hero 9 Black is the most capable GoPro you can buy right now, and new features including a front-facing colour display improve the overall experience, but there's still much to be desired when it comes to low-light performance.

HyperSmooth 3.0 is impressive; Front-facing colour display is a great addition; Great outdoor performance;

Bigger than predecessors; Laggy touchscreen; Poor low-light performance;

What’s The Best puts the GoPro Hero 9 to the test. Read the review now to see if the camera is worth splashing out on in 2021.

Video and still photography quality won't match a flagship smartphone, that's for sure, but GoPro more than makes up for it by offering a camera you could bounce off walls, drown in a river, and take on the shakeiest bike ride you could imagine - yet still deliver awesome footage.

Impressive HyperSmooth capabilities; Big battery really delivers; Design is more durable than previous designs; Colour screen on the front is a major plus;

Bigger than predecessors; Touchscreen can still be fiddly; Limited stills photo potential; Low-light hinders quality;

Love the product overall but poor battery life

Took this out for a walk last weekend to try out some of the functions. I have to say, I am impressed with how well it works.. The menu takes a little bit to get used to but having touchscreen means it is easily accessible. I took photos, video and hyperlapse footage and was impressed. Being able to easily switch from hyperlapse to normal speed while still recording is a great function as it means your editing time is reduced. Being able to take photos and share them with the WIFI connectivity is very handy.

Great product

Just watch a couple you tube instructional vids...then start playing . Very good

Partner is really impressed he says it does everything its meant to & its used every week day

truly dont think its much better than the older one it replaced a hero 3 plus. compared footage from both so probably dissapointed i upgraded

Great GoPro, probably just don’t buy it here. I have returned 3 due to faults. Bad batch I guess.
