What's the max SD card this takes? A 256gb? I am looking for SanDisk bc they are cheaper and don't really know what all these symbols on there mean and which one works.
What I appreciate is that you explained the features...not just what YOUR preferred settings are. Thanks! I had fun following along with my GP9 in hand.
I am only up to the charge the battery point and I am already impressed with this video! It is exactly what I need as a first time go pro user. Straight up instructions without getting me lost in extraneous explanations. Thank you so much for making the basics so accessible!
I bought a 9, and at age 72 immediately got so challenged by it, it's been sitting on my desk for a month unused! With this video, probably with the playback setting at .75, I'm going to show that camera who's boss, thanks. 30 minutes later: OK, got the battery compartment open.
Im 54, bought it almost 3 years ago, and JUST today, pulled it out and decided I better learn to use it or sell the darn thing! All the features!! I'm md at myself for NOT using this camera all this time!! Better late than never. Unfortunately, his instruction book he mentions is no longer available on Amazone. Bummer. going to have to save this video and keep referring back to it.
You are great....it's just not a normal review.....it's the best way to understand for beginners who haven't used any GoPro and have hero 9 first time.... great waiting for more updates
Excellent tutorial. Received this camera for Christmas without a clue how to use it. After watching this I have a much better understanding. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I found this very entertaining and educating! Thanks so much for putting SO MUCH time and energy into this production. I feel inspired to use my new GoPro now! Thanks again.
My husband just bought me a GoPro camera for my birthday and I had no clue how to use it but thanks to throw amazing detailed video, I now know how to use my GoPro like a PRO! Thank you for providing such a detailed and easy to understand video, Mr. Jordan :)
This was so helpful! You made setting up my 1st GoPro a breeze (I struggled at first trying to open the battery compartment lol). Great video! Thank you.😊
We will buy gopro next saturday with my friend.. this video really helps me a lot on how to start with gopro.. thank you very much!!! Love it.. we will be starting our nice vlogs shoots soon.. im excited getting one.
Great introduction to the Hero 9, Jordan. I feel a lot more confident about using this amazing piece of kit now! I'll look forward to reading your book.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm a total newb with gopro's and this helped me set it up and take it for a test drive, thank you! Clearly and easy to follow instructions without a bunch of useless stuff or going so fast I can't follow along. 10/10
Just a Tip for changing Lens: Pull lenses out a little and then twist counter clockwise. If this doesn't work, try wedging a thin card GENTLY (like a library or gift card) in between. To put back on, align the two metal bars, turn slightly counter clockwise and push down a little then twist clockwise until it's back in position! Hopefully this saves you from having sore fingers!
This is an excellent video. Not a long intro. Not a lot of irrelevant chit chat or jokes to waste my time. Good images and video so it is clear what I am looking at. Easy to follow. Good overview. I purchased the book and I purchased the 256GB card. I subscribed to your channel. When you want to learn consumer items RUclips is full of poorly made videos that take too long. Again thank. Will post a link to this video on my Facebook page to let others know.
I’ve used several cameras for vlogging including android/apple phone cameras and the GoPro hero 8 was my favorite. I just bought the GoPro hero 9 today and I’m very excited to play around with it.
My company gave me this for staying with them for 20 years. I’m beyond happy and definitely can’t wait to start recording with it. Great vid explaining everything on it
That is one of the damn best videos I have seen on the Hero 9! I have ordered your book for the 9, and I have the 4, 7, 8 and 9. Hope to set up my 9 for my motorcycle ride tomorrow. 70 degrees in New York in November is great!
Yeah, we can really see a big difference, specially on a rinky-dinky cellphone or tablet! I can barely see a difference between 4K and 1080 on my 72" TV..... unless I push my nose up to the 4K TV screen.
Thank you for this really fast and very informative video. You helped me familiarize myself with a number of features in a fraction of the time I would need otherwise. Keep up the good work. Many thanks!
7:56 The reason I came to this video was because of this "microphone drain" clip??!! I didn't know what it was and I spent ages breaking my nails trying to open it until I thought something's not right here, so I started watching this video to learn how to use it and I'm glad I did, anyhow back to the video.
Yeah, it totally looks like a door! At first, I was hoping there was something exciting under there, but it's just the mic drain, which does actually help clear the microphones after going underwater. Thanks for watching the video!
Amazingly explained step by step and anything and everything that can be put together in 26 minutes, precise ,comprehensive and to the point, thankyou so much !
i just picked up my first GoPro 9 as i'll be swimming with whale sharks in May wow you have helped me and i'll be buying your books so helpful indeed and needs as much practice before i leave for WA
I watched this video on Christmas Day 2020 while I was sick in bed with the Vid. Now I'm watching it again to get the info again. Btw, great video and I went and bought the book. Thanks dude.
I just ordered mine now online from the official website. Your video is so great, it helped me a lot and I'm sure I understand everything you said. It's gonna help me with my first ever GoPro 9 black 🥰
Hi Carson, If you are mounting it to a solid surface on your go kart, you would use an adhesive mount. If you have any poles to mount to, you could use the Roll Bar or Handlbar Seatpost Mount.
Awesome Man. I have a Go Pro Hero 9 and have made over 40 videos, but have only known how to use about 3 things on it. You have just helped me figure it out so much more. Cheers Bro
Brother I'm hunter and using hero 9 black for hunting video. We are hunting duck early in morning . A little bit dark in the morning .. kindly tell me setting for a best video recording.. if 5k is batter or 4k .. kindly suggest me best settings .. thanks . I'm waiting for your replay. Thanks
Hey Jordan, Just bought the E-version of your book for the Hero 9 on Amazon. I've owned a couple of gopro's prior to the 9 and still found the book very useful. Even with all the "free" content on RUclips, your book is well worth the purchase price! Well done. Chris Durham.
Thank you Chris!!! I'm happy to hear you found the book helpful. I work hard to publish a complete guide to everything you need to know, so it's nice to hear the feedback. I appreciate the purchase and the comment! Have a great day!
So appreciative of your intro video. I'm finally buying a Gopro hero9black after wanting one for over 5 years! Question on the app you mention, I saw it has unfavorable reviews the last several months. Based on those, I would not be keen to using the Gopro app for anything, much less managing firmware updates. Any thoughts for the Android users?
Use 2 fingers with just enough nail length pointing downward in the groove with thumb pad just underneath and pull straight down slowly until lid gently pulls out.
I’m so thankful that I have an awesome tutorial to reference back once my Go pro is completely charged. Also I charged mine last night, is it harmful to leave it charged overnight?
Thanks for going step by step on everything. Best tutorial out there. Its Summer here in Texas, so we are going to start using it for our river outings.
This is what I call a tutorial! You explained the features & you went step by step. Appreciate it!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for the comment!!!!

👋Is it good for you tube videos , for nature capturing.....tel me any one
@@JordanHetrick on my apps on phone it says quik but no gopro. do i choose quik?
What's the max SD card this takes? A 256gb? I am looking for SanDisk bc they are cheaper and don't really know what all these symbols on there mean and which one works.
Anyone else massively struggle to open the battery compartment lid at first? 🙋♂️

I had to watch a video first 🤷🏼♀️😂😂

Thank you for the tutorial,i learn a lot, i just bought my GO PRO HERO 9 awhile ago and im still in learning mode.
Typed in gopro 9 to learn how to use it and this was the first recommend. Must say it did not disappoint thank you.
Great introduction to the Hero 9, Jordan. I feel a lot more confident about using this amazing piece of kit now! I'll look forward to reading your book.
Appreciated the way you explain... flow of talk without any unnecessary talk is really good
Damm thank you bro just bought this camera and went out there on savage mode the first day. Now I know it have way more potential.

I’ve been watching you since 2017. It’s so easy to understand
Thank you so much for the years of watching!!!
Recently I got a GoPro 9 so this helped!!
You've put quite a lot of time and energy into this tutorial video. Well done, and well explained too !
Thank you so much! Yes, I put my heart into it to try to help and keep you guys entertained at the same time.👏
@@JordanHetrick thank you so much✨
Thankyou for this video sir,just got my new hero10 today
One of the most informative videos I’ve ever seen. Highly appreciated 👍🏻
Hands down the best set up video I viewed. Thanks for sharing
Wow, thanks so much! That's great compliment!
Thank you, that is so helpful and immediately went and bought your book as a consequence. Easy to follow, clear and simple.
Just a Tip for changing Lens: Pull lenses out a little and then twist counter clockwise. If this doesn't work, try wedging a thin card GENTLY (like a library or gift card) in between. To put back on, align the two metal bars, turn slightly counter clockwise and push down a little then twist clockwise until it's back in position!
Hopefully this saves you from having sore fingers!
Anyone else get lost in the gorgeous ocean background and have to rewind?
Yep
This is an excellent video. Not a long intro. Not a lot of irrelevant chit chat or jokes to waste my time. Good images and video so it is clear what I am looking at. Easy to follow. Good overview.

Thanks so much for the purchase, sub, and especially for recommending my tutorial. I REALLY appreciate it! Have fun with your new camera!
Bought the book on the strength of this tutorial. Quality work, Jordan.
Looking forward to the read!
Same!
I’ve used several cameras for vlogging including android/apple phone cameras and the GoPro hero 8 was my favorite. I just bought the GoPro hero 9 today and I’m very excited to play around with it.
Bought my gopro 9 yesterday. Really helpful video. Thank you 🙏 so much.
Awesome! Congrats on the new camera. You are super welcome! I'm happy to hear you found the video helpful. 👏
Just got my first go pro tonight - the exact same one and this video was sooo helpful and simple!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just got my hero9 today and this helped me a lot!
Just purchased the hero 9. Love it so far! Got the 8 last year and still use as well. Gopro has come a looong way!
Thanks for putting this together. Doing this by the beach also made for a nice vibe. From one Jordan to another great work.
Hi Jordan,
Thanks so much for the comment and you are welcome!! Yes, the beach always makes me happy too!
My company gave me this for staying with them for 20 years. I’m beyond happy and definitely can’t wait to start recording with it. Great vid explaining everything on it

I saw many video about GoPro hero 9 all are taking BS. Your video is very helpfull to understand better. Thank you for your help.
"1080p... kind of a low resolution"
Oh how times have changed. XD
Yea. This 1946 baby boomer had a chuckle when he said that!
@@ChristopherOwenXIDAR I'm only 24 but I remember people rushing out to buy the first 480p TVs, lol
Yeah, we can really see a big difference, specially on a rinky-dinky cellphone or tablet! I can barely see a difference between 4K and 1080 on my 72" TV..... unless I push my nose up to the 4K TV screen.
finally, a video explaining. A lot of videos just show what it does. This is the first one explaining how it does it.
Thank you for this really fast and very informative video. You helped me familiarize myself with a number of features in a fraction of the time I would need otherwise.
Keep up the good work. Many thanks!
This is a game changer. My first GoPro was the very first one that came out, then the Hero3+, and now THIS! The Hero9!
Nice! Thanks for the comment and yes, the Hero 9 will be a huge step up for you! Enjoy!

Thank you for the video and book. When I use my hero 9 upside, the footage is tilted 20 degrees. Do you know why this is or how to fix it?

Fantastic review. Thanks, and greetings from Finland.

Wow, thanks!!!! That is an awesome comment!!
The way you took of the plastic protection screen/ packaging...it gave me anxiety😅🤣🤣
My first gopro ..was gifted this yesterday from my babe .very exciting. ❤❤❤❤
It feels like I want to sell my dslr and buy this 😅
I just bought my camera, it is now charging and I am loving this video tutorial already!
Thank you!
I couldn't get the battery door open....sometimes it's the simple things. Watching you helped !!
This is AMAZING! I'm a brand new GoPro Hero 9 user and this video is the best tutorial out there! I'm now gonna buy your book as well!
Awesome! Thank you! I love all caps. It's really shows the love! SO happy to hear you found it useful and enjoy the book as well!
I watched this video on Christmas Day 2020 while I was sick in bed with the Vid. Now I'm watching it again to get the info again. Btw, great video and I went and bought the book. Thanks dude.

You have no idea how helpful this is for beginners. Thankyou 🙏🙏
You're so welcome!!! Thanks for the comment!
Just what I needed!!! Thanks!!! Will keep looking forward to see more of your tutorials!
What would I use to mount on my go kart for racing?
Hi Carson,
If you are mounting it to a solid surface on your go kart, you would use an adhesive mount. If you have any poles to mount to, you could use the Roll Bar or Handlbar Seatpost Mount.
Awesome Man. I have a Go Pro Hero 9 and have made over 40 videos, but have only known how to use about 3 things on it. You have just helped me figure it out so much more. Cheers Bro

Excellent user information can’t wait to buy my hero 9 and get started with the help of your user manual. Thanks .
Wow thank you so much, I am new to all this but ready to bring my world into the goproworld!
I love it. This was very detailed but you made easy. I will be looking forward to more of your tutorial.
You have so detail explaining , that made my life easier!!!
i have never used a gopro before and i just ordered this model GoPro so this was very helpful i cant wait to record when i'm in Ocean City

This is one of the best tutorials for the go pro thanks for all the info
You are VERY welcome!
Watching this while my GoPro goes through the initial update, takes forever
I just picked up 2 GoPro Hero 9’s. looking forward to using them for my videos. This video was very informative to help me to understand my cameras
So appreciative of your intro video. I'm finally buying a Gopro hero9black after wanting one for over 5 years!
Question on the app you mention, I saw it has unfavorable reviews the last several months. Based on those, I would not be keen to using the Gopro app for anything, much less managing firmware updates. Any thoughts for the Android users?
Use 2 fingers with just enough nail length pointing downward in the groove with thumb pad just underneath and pull straight down slowly until lid gently pulls out.
OMG THANK this is the most helpful video I’ve ever seen you went from start to finish and answered all my question thank you!!!!
I’m so thankful that I have an awesome tutorial to reference back once my Go pro is completely charged. Also I charged mine last night, is it harmful to leave it charged overnight?
What editing software do you recommend for pc and for android?
Thanks for all the tips will watch again
I just ordered mine should be here this week!!! Can’t wait!! I fish a lot so I plan to start my RUclips channel!! Can’t wait!
Nice! Make high quality videos, share your passion, be persistent and you will be successful!
Man am I ever glad you posted this. I was trying to put quarters in it
Can the GoPro hero 9 import videos to a iPad or an iPhone?
Thanks for going step by step on everything. Best tutorial out there. Its Summer here in Texas, so we are going to start using it for our river outings.
finally a perfect video to understand a product and its features. Thank you Jordan. big hi and Namaste from Mumbai/India
Great video. Watched it 2x and then got your book. Look FWD to reading it to reinforce what i’ve learned here and more.. Thanks J
Very helpful! Thanks😊
