    • The Action Camera with...
    The GoPro Hero 9 had its momentum and as usual - can be labeled as the "best GoPro yet"... But is it really such a meaningful upgrade? Does it lack the needed performance boost, does it properly handle the 5K, are there any serious drawbacks?
    I've used it on a regular basis for two months and share everything that I found out.
    Let me know in the comments what you think of this action camera.

    It's been a lot of fun testing the Hero 9! And quite surprising when I discovered some interesting facts about low light performance, especially when compared to GoPro Hero 8, DJI Osmo Action and Insta360 ONE X2 - which you can find at 7:18

    Good video!! I've had the Hero Black7 for a couple of years now, and I just bought the Hero9. I think it definitely is worth the upgrade for 3 reasons: 1) Horizon lock -- the amount of time I've spent in post straightening footage is riduculous!!! And I'm SURE I'm holding the camera straight!! 2) 2.7k at 120 FPS with hypersmooth. Buttery smooth slo mo you can zoom in on. 3) The media mod mic add on. You almost had to contort yourself to get a decent mic on the GoPro - customized cage, extra cables, stupid size mic that turned a low-profile camera into something that has everone staring at you, then asking what you're doing. No thank you. As a bonus, the media mod has a couple of cold shoe mounts that I can put a light on. Have you ever tried to hold the GoPro & your cell phone with its flashlight in one hand to get a shot of yourself at night? You have to hold them in one hand, because its tooo awkward to have both arms extended when you're trying to vlog at night. So these may seem like small things, but to me they were huge issues & the GoPro9 was totally worth the price to fix them!

      Don't worry 'bout that lens - it isn't that fragile. The Hero 7 is also great. In terms of image quality - the 7 and the 9 are anyways pretty close. As you notice - same processor inside.

      Get a Hero 7 and look at the Reelsteady Go software. It's amazing but check out the modes with the software before you purchase. If your happy with 4k 30 or 4k 25 (you can stretch this a little in post for 24) then I say go for it.

    Purchase my Hero9 at the end of September 2020--great camera and all works fine except the USB-C port is malfunctioning. It does not recognize the Media Mod and it intermittently connects to my PC. Charging is hardly ever a problem though.
    To day I looked at it under my microscope and found that one of the pins on the USB-C connector has burnt halfway through the plastic of the connector. B&H won't take it back so I hope that GoPro replaces it for me.

    • @TechMishka

    @momentsPY 3 года назад

    Quite good review. I like "ocasional freezes". My last Gopro (Hero 6) freezed so often that I reached my limit and decided no more Gopros beyond my trusty Hero 4 Black and moved to the DJI Osmo Action. I never regreted this move and will all firmware updates (1.10 now) it has become incredible. Absolutely reliable, never a glitch or a freeze. Intead of the crap 9 I bought a DJI Pocket 2 and I loved. Not a single advantage on Hero 9 against my 2 DJIs.

    • @KungPowEnterFist
      @KungPowEnterFist 3 года назад

      The Osmo Pocket does not compete with the Hero. These are two very different devices each with their pro's and con's. The Hero is an action camera. Rough, tough, inherently waterproof, dust proof, amazing electric stabilization (generally better in high light), and simple/straightforward features well-suited for easy, quick, on-the-go usage. Basically, everything the Osmo Pocket (1/2) is not. The Osmo is a camera on a mechanical gimbal not meant for action. It allows for smooth pans, tilts, programmed sequences, subject tracking, amazing mechanical stabilization (generally better in low light), more features, more complex, take your time with it. Basically, everything the Hero is not. I think almost no one should buy a Hero, because the truth is that chances are your life is too boring for a Hero. But if your life is not boring, the Hero may have a place in your bag and it is the best action camera hands down. I think almost no one should buy an Osmo Pocket, because they are too expensive for what they are.

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  3 года назад

      I think Moments talks about the Osmo Action which is indeed a lovely action camera. Its firmware is a lot better than what we have on GoPro.

      @TheTimelapseTraveler 3 года назад +1

      @@TechMishka an 8TB hard drive costs a little over $100 on Amazon these days. I've made every video on my channel exclusively in 60 fps and the main feedback that I get is how "life-like" or "true to life" they are. It just makes the viewer feel like they're there. That applies only to vlogs that show the real world as it really is. This certainly doesn't work for movies that try to remove you from the real world and give you a dreamlike experience. In those cases, lowering the frame rate down to 30 or 24 or even lower sometimes gives the effect to pull people into the vision you might be going for. Back in the day, the "real filmographers" thought that producing videos in color removed the cinematic effect they were going for, until they died out and became extinct like the dinosaurs and the elevator button pushers.

    I'm going on vacation soon this summer and would like to film this with an action camra I can borrow one from a friend I have the choice between the osmo action and the go pro 9 the go pro 9 has better colors in the go pro collor mode because i cant Edit the Videos after but I am afraid that I will lose a lot of videos because i hear it freeze ofteb my question Does the go pro 9 still freeze often? I hope you can help me with my choice bettween this 2 action cams
    I will only Vlog my Sommer vacation the city and the dive in the Ozean.

      Heey, nice to emeet you here. Well - the Osmo Action is clearly still a lot more stable than Hero 9. But I've never lost a file because of a freezing condition. It's just laggy.

  • @BucketListTravellers
    @BucketListTravellers 3 года назад +1

    Great review! Interesting to see that low light performance is actually worse than the Hero8. I wasn't expecting that!
    We've got the Hero6 and I was keen to get the Hero9 due to the better image stabilisation and the front facing camera. However it does seem like there are some big tradeoffs, especially in regards to weight. This makes me feel better about waiting for the Hero10, which I'll probably have to do anyway as I'm living in Nicaragua during the covid pandemic and I don't think I'll be able to buy the Hero9 here.

    Gopro 9, zoom function. I have zoom displayed in lower right corner of my cam, set up in preferences. Regardless of the setting, standard, activity, etc, the zoom function is greyed out/ turned off. How do I use, the zoom function for video? Does it only work is some video settings, not all, which video settings allow me to zoom in and out? Very frustrating

  • @DimusTech
    @DimusTech 3 года назад

    Well I decided this year to stay with the 8, it's not that I don't appreciate the new things, it's just that most of them aren't necessary for me and mostly because it doesn't seem like I'm going to travel any time soon because of covid :-(
    I wonder, if you shoot in low light in smaller resolution, will the GoPro 9 give more details actually cause maybe it does some pixel binding or will it be the same?
    BTW, The horizon leveling works only for 45 degrees without the Max lens, but what they forgot to tell us is that you can enable the Max mode and use horizon leveling in any degree even without the Max lens (it does crop the image and lose some details)

    • @TechMishka

      Yeah, it was a surprise that part about low light. Sadly, lowering the resolution doesn't make much of improvement... Will keep on testing it, but so far doesn't look that promising.
      My greatest disappointment is GoPro keeping the old CPU. It's still a wonderful action camera, but not that much better than the Hero 6 for instance...

    1. Does it overheat easily after long period of high resolution recording? Or would be it better to use a capture card instead and just plug into pc for storage?
    2. Any heat issues when use as a webcam? If not, when use a webcam, is the gopro charging or on external power supply?

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  3 года назад +1

      GoPro's freezing has been always a very wide topic. Generally - I'm a fan of Hero series and usually prefer them over the rest - mostly because of the flat color profile. SHooting with action camera is different: you have no autofocus/shallow depth of field option, but it's much more portable and can give you the freedom for shooting form a lot nicer angles. Just forget about good low light performance. The rest is really cool!

    GoPro is way better than the dji you recommended people get. What you used this GoPro for was the bare minimum and so was your settings... Tons of videos available on YT that can help you tinker with your settings and get the settings to what it needs to be. The GoPro isn't a show off social media camera.. just to say you have one. It can do a lot more than what you were using it for.

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  3 года назад

      You can say similar things about Osmo Action and they would be correct too. I am still a big fan of GoPro - just think that they can do a lot better than adding software features, which they can add without releasing a new generation...

    I thought the whole bundle price seemed really good until I thought about shipping and import fees. At least here in Canada.
    If I order from GoPro with the sub bundle it is $399.98usd + $20usd shipping + $45.50usd import for a total of $465.48usd.
    Converted to cad that is a total of $597.41cad.
    Meanwhile, on amazon.ca, right now, the camera is selling for $529.00cad with free shipping and no import. Even after sales tax it would be cheaper to buy on amazon.
    I think the sub bundle deal is a great deal for Americans but it doesn't really offset the cost of bringing the thing in from the States if you can buy it from a local source.
    PS: An annoying side note. The bundle deal has existed since the day the GPH9 launched but on Black Friday they changed the website to pretend like the deal was a black friday deal. As soon as black friday was over the site is now pretending it is a "holiday sale." Feels manipulative. ;)
