I have the Action and was thinking about buying an H9, but after seeing some reviews, footage, and the front screen in action, I'm going to hold off. Lowlight performs took a drastic hit, the front screen looks pretty bad with the lag and quality, and the saturation is just a bit much. I really like the colors on my Osmo. I honestly don't have anything bad to say about the osmo except I'm not a huge fan of how the battery is mounted.
I am actually waiting for the 10th one expecting like something big for being 10 th generation. This one looks solid, hope next version is even better.
Yeah that is true. Pay 450€ for 5k,120fps,hypersmoth, horizont....etc but you only can use 1080p 30fps and hypermosth off. So way pay 450€ if i cant use the feature wich i see on ADS? GoPro is nice company and offer a good product but this things must change. GoPro plz improve that failure and errors when record aswel. Meybe make part of the chasis on aluminium frame with small fins to disipate more heat from the chip.
Gopro 9 is missing a very important feature: Live Preview on the Gopro app is not supported while recording video. That feature was available in the previous versions. Most of the time I use my phone to preview what I am recording. By missing the said feature, I can no longer frame/record perfect shots when my Gopro is 20ft in the air on a monopod/selfie stick. Very disappointing.
so did they fix low light ? record ? cos that was the biggist let down of the cam ,,,, i had the 7 and u could not film in doors always had to be outside with sun light
I was going to trade up to the 8 from my 7 and glad now that I didn't. After all this time owning the 7, I still haven't been able to remove the lens. I hope that the 9 is an easy task. Mahalo!
My main reason for sticking with my ancient Sony 3000xdr is that even though it's still their most current model at over 4 years old now, it actually does things I need that GoPro in 2020 doesn't, or at least didn't. Firstly it shoots passably in low light which I found go pro horrible at, secondly the sony mic is actually pretty decent and it's got external mic jack, go pros had terrible audio and no mic jack, and third and most importantly - it consistently worked - didn't freeze, over heat or just get bored of filming my admittedly rubbish life and decide to stop on its own. If the Hero 9 can do all of these things that my 4 year old Sony can - then I'm gonna buy one, because it's waterproof, I prefer the square form factor and the touch screen and view finder and like the added stabilisation and hypertension/hyperextension/hyper whatever thing - I want that. If it can't I'm stuck in 2016 forever with Sony cos they're clearly too lazy to make a new one
Does it have video out? Will streaming it to a phone still lag. Will it still heat up to 120° (30° higher then recommended use) after 10 minutes with all the new features on?
Exactly.... and a 40% battery life improvement isn't nearly enough.... still barely an hour of film time. Can't change batteries in the ocean/river/snow/etc.
Bigger??? I honestly would like to see them come out with a base spec camera that they can make as small as possible. Maybe like a super slim version. It would be great to have a camera that records 2k maximum at 240fps. Give me that with Hypersmooth3 and no live streaming. That would be cool to see how small and affordable that camera is. It would be a great 2nd point of view option.
Just bought a Hero 9 Black as an upgrade to my older model and was very disappointed. Unlike Hero 7 you'll need an add-on Media Pod to get HDMI output (original C-port was blocked for video output). Also preview during recording on phone apps is not supported. Seems like Gopro is taking all its customers as suckers. Time to switch!
I'm sorry but the quality of your recorded videos is not on par with amazing cinematographic quality of videos I just saw in Hero9 youtube ad a few minutes ago
You can use an external one, there is an adapter to allow for 3.5mm jack use, or get the media mod that has the 3.5 already on it, this is true for both the Hero 8 and 9. The nice thing about the Media Mod is the 2 cold shoes is the ability to go wireless mic with it. Yes, it does come with a shotgun mic and should be an improvement over the built in one on the camera itself without the mod. I just ordered yesterday the H9 and got the deal with a subscription for GoPro so if I need to, I can get the camera replaced, or pick up the Max at discount when the time comes, and get new accessories for half price.
Lies lol what users want 5k!? give us 4k 120 and better image quality & lowlights performance. Most people could careless whether this camera has 5k,6k or 8k lol. Would rather see a bigger sensor size or higher fps in 4k .
I dont understand the need of 5k at the moment. Most people can't even watch the videos at 5k. They shouldve just perfected the 4k to have more fps like 120fps or even to 240fps
Youre asking too much from a tiny little $450 camera.. the amount of bit rate and heat generate even other big camera manufacturer are still struggling..
*Stay away from GoPro Hero9 as it is not compatible with 3.5mm Mic Adapter. So we can not use our own microphone but we have to use gopro's media mod. GoPro does not want us to use our own microphone. they disabled the support to use adapter with the latest firmware 1.21. Be careful guys.*
The problem already gopro drain battery 🔋 crazy once you set it up 4k wonder how it does with extra display i guess they should focus on battery consumption before adding more drain to battery
Its already end of 2020, gopro 9, still not as good as DJI osmo action. And we both know that they will never fix the laggy touch screen. Hyperlapes is really cool tho.
Thanks so I have Hero 6 and Hero 8, I am waiting for Hero 10 at 500 bucks so I can complain about heating, freezing and other problems with GOPRO that we all have accepted.
Some people just bought the H7/H8 and bummed by the H9 debut, but after watching some unedited footage (like this one you speak of) the difference between the cameras is not drastic. 🧐 The front screen looks laggy (2000's webcam laggy), unedited footage looks on par with other action cameras, and the added pixels just make the camera useless in lowlight. I understand this is an action camera, but if you wanna capture SOME type of footage in lowlight, you're just completely out of luck now. I like the horizon level feature, and programming shots for a specific time of day, but aside from that, doesn't seem like a worthwhile jump and a lot of reviews seem pretty biased. 🤔 Perhaps since they got the camera free from gopro to review 🤷♂️
sorry but this is no monster, actually is downgrade from hero 8 in terms of low light ... and this price almost 500eur for action cam? 400 is max what should be priced
the only feature this has that makes sense is the front screen, hypersmooth 3.0 & the return of the replaceable lens...other than that, not that impressive :)
because only less than 10% of users have screens more than 1080 according to recent survey and they want the video up asap and the time to process 4k might not be worth it
CNET needs to give this guy a raise! Great review and very amazing video
Thanks for watching!
Agree. The intro was awesome.
@@CNET hmmm. Where's the raise for him? 🤣
I also want a raise... and a job... with fries
I was so close to purchasing a Osmo Action for its front screen and replacable lens cover. Now definitely going for the Gopro 9

Me also.
I go with the go pro 9.
Haha
I've been watching the Gopro 9 release videos and your is by far the most informative. Thanks
Very cool video. Covers a lot quickly. Helpful. Thank you !
What a review! Is this a review?
Great work man. Keep it up.
All the fast moving footage looks pretty crummy to me. I have RUclips settings at 1080p but the image looks 480
the image smoothing is crazy
I am actually waiting for the 10th one expecting like something big for being 10 th generation. This one looks solid, hope next version is even better.
Me: Hi gopro my gopro seems to be overheating.
Gopro: try lowering the frame rate and stabilization feature.
Me: I bought it for those features?!
Yeah that is true. Pay 450€ for 5k,120fps,hypersmoth, horizont....etc but you only can use 1080p 30fps and hypermosth off. So way pay 450€ if i cant use the feature wich i see on ADS?

Just put it in iced water. It works over time.. mostly..

I have ordered one, should be here tommorow £349 in the uk with subscription and 2 extra batteries for £26
But I want to know about how well it shoots in low light and how is the sound recording.
I was going to trade up to the 8 from my 7 and glad now that I didn't. After all this time owning the 7, I still haven't been able to remove the lens. I hope that the 9 is an easy task. Mahalo!
@Josh Goldman @ CNET I appreciate the tip. I'll give it a try. Mahalo!

What is the overheating with the 9? Does it heats a lot? I’ve read some complaints about the heat.
My Gopro 9 dream camcorder, very beautiful
Excellent review. Thank you!
Does it have video out?
Will streaming it to a phone still lag.
Will it still heat up to 120° (30° higher then recommended use) after 10 minutes with all the new features on?
The most important addition to the GoPro Hero 9 is "Horizon leveling," which wasn't even mentioned!
Wow! Amazing review !
How's the low light performance? Next to battery life, that's been the single biggest issue for years.
Lol, they keep chasing resoloution instead of listening to performance issues.
Exactly.... and a 40% battery life improvement isn't nearly enough.... still barely an hour of film time. Can't change batteries in the ocean/river/snow/etc.
From what I've seen in side by side comparisons of the H7/8/9, the 9 is the worst because of the added pixels.
Great video, lots of great information. Got mine coming on Tuesday! Can't wait! Think i'll be selling my Osmo Pocket when I get the Hero9.
Bigger??? I honestly would like to see them come out with a base spec camera that they can make as small as possible. Maybe like a super slim version.

sandy hook, i saw the video on your other channel and recognized brookdale park. dude you're from around where i'm at
I was hopping the 9 would have motion detection to catch candid shots of people, wildlife etc. Maybe the 10 will have it :-/
how much space cost 15 minutes of recording?
yay, I bought my one too! Thanks for your video.
Nice video on the GoPro hero 9 black but I think I will wait for the GP 10 what beach were you at in the kayak looks familiar just wondering ?

Waiting for the GoPro X
I'm sorry but the quality of your recorded videos is not on par with amazing cinematographic quality of videos I just saw in Hero9 youtube ad a few minutes ago
Lol what do you expect? That's a promotional ad.
Is the media mod for the 9 also going to come out after the go pro 10 comes out? My pre order for my media mod is still nowhere to be found
What about external microphone?
You can use an external one, there is an adapter to allow for 3.5mm jack use, or get the media mod that has the 3.5 already on it, this is true for both the Hero 8 and 9.

Bigger battery doesn’t mean last longer.... they should develop new battery system which is small in size but powerful in long capacity
Tesco Primark hindsight
how do i connect a mic to it?
azizul zulzaha good question
Can you tell me if the battery for the 9 will fit in a charger for the Hero 8
Dude !!!!! When does this drop !!
It’s out now 🔥
@@A.D.D.O.C.D.T nice
Can we use Hero 9 while charging? Just like DJI OSMO Action?
Yes you can.
I've seen that on another video. As i still didn't buy the GoPro 9
I don't think that I need to replace my gopro8 image quality is probably the same
Even if it's better, who is going to notice while they watch a video on there smartphone.
100% agree
its all about the battery life for me
Users want a 3.5mm audio jack built in!
I don't.
Most of action cameras users don't want.
@@kerimisam4517 If that was true they wouldn't make things like a media mod or 3.5mm adapter.
@@JosephMyLife
That's for the vlogers which is obvious
Good video! Thx!
I love Hero
Did it freeze on you yet
Super cool.. So.. When is the give away? 😁✌
Do you have to have a media mod for external mic and hdmi?
Lies lol what users want 5k!? give us 4k 120 and better image quality & lowlights performance. Most people could careless whether this camera has 5k,6k or 8k lol. Would rather see a bigger sensor size or higher fps in 4k .
How much is the subscription then? $100?
No, it's 49.99/year.
Good review...
I dont understand the need of 5k at the moment. Most people can't even watch the videos at 5k. They shouldve just perfected the 4k to have more fps like 120fps or even to 240fps
5k is about editing to 4k.. framing, cropping effects tracking.. you wouldnt wanna do that in 4k down to qhd and then upscale back to 4k.
Still doesn't change the fact that its still 60fps
Youre asking too much from a tiny little $450 camera.. the amount of bit rate and heat generate even other big camera manufacturer are still struggling..
Nice

Hi, great video. I have the Hero 8 with ND Filters. A problem with it is that there are no gimbals for the Hero 8. Can you throw a gimbal on the 9?
GoPro: Free Camera 📷 replacement with no question 💪
Reality: You have to pay 😈 99$ fee for that replacement 😈
GoPro has left the chat 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Good vibes guy.
Sooooooo i'm guessing i should wait on buying a Hero 8 then huh?
Bigger sensor and/or 480/960 fps recording and I would buy it.
Gopro hero7 still VERY GOOD.
Intéressant
I was waiting for 1 in lens ... shame
Can you livestream with the 9?
The quality doesn't look very good. Too much sharpening going on there.
YOu have at least 3 levels of sharpness and most use LOW or MEDIUM. Many people think more/better/higher = better.
remember guys! adventure not included in the box! 🤷♀️🤷😅😂🤣
i just wanna be able to leave my gopro plugged into my 10,000mah battery pack while i go mtb and not have it over heat!!!!!
I used my heat ten gun and it was 122° inside! Wtf.
What about the audio? This is the most important thing for sports like cycling. All the last GoPro's sucked.
Just bought the 8 3 weeks ago FML
Keeping the 7black until they perfect this
UniversalChat Chat idiot
Mango Ryder why?
It's like when mobile phones got bigger 👀 and now look
I bought my GOPro Hero 8 Black 2 months ago from Costco. I can return it. YEah
I am actually watching this on the GoPro Hero 10 !
Looks like the Dji action camera
Its already end of 2020, gopro 9, still not as good as DJI osmo action. And we both know that they will never fix the laggy touch screen. Hyperlapes is really cool tho.
I LOVE my Action. Footage is so damn good
Am a tricker and I have a youtub channel but I don't have money to buy a GoPro if u can then plz help me
Thanks so I have Hero 6 and Hero 8, I am waiting for Hero 10 at 500 bucks so I can complain about heating, freezing and other problems with GOPRO that we all have accepted.
That footage at the beginning looked pretty bad.

Just started a new channel using my GoPro go check it out
sorry but this is no monster, actually is downgrade from hero 8 in terms of low light ... and this price almost 500eur for action cam? 400 is max what should be priced
Price?
Is in the video
500 dollar
350 with a year pro plus subscription right now.
the only feature this has that makes sense is the front screen, hypersmooth 3.0 & the return of the replaceable lens...other than that, not that impressive :)
exporting in 1080 in a tech channel... why?
because only less than 10% of users have screens more than 1080 according to recent survey and they want the video up asap and the time to process 4k might not be worth it
Something was wrong, but it's fixed now. You should be able to see it in 4K. Thanks for watching!
Same small sensor. Best to get an actual camcorder.
Ps5 or gopro 9....
Hmmm
Ps5 for days
so now i gotta get the 50 dollar gopro clear case and all other 40 dollar accessories from gopro again? F'ing gpro.. you guys are nopro
I hear ya but it's like anything else even a car you buy one year and it's next year model has more options but at a higher price
still no external microphone with jack - this is main reason I will not buy
Lol I could watch him getting hot with balloons all day.. his kids I'm aiming have some good aim
Hi tony stark
hero 7 still better
now let sell all old compatible accesorry to colectionist. .... hmmmm. But if that is progres i can do it.
In a tik tok world...this is perfect. or not.
Why not making it 50% more battery life. Come on go pro...smh.
