intuitive

understated smooth dark gray finish and feels extremely well made

light and easy to use (plus
the action cam has performed exceptionally well
super-wide perspective with excellent field of view
effectively doubling my shooting photo resolution is pretty useful
the wired download is arguably my favorite feature here
The display mod is compatible as well
Backcountry & Competitive Cyclist offer free 2-day shipping
They just work dependably
and are my go-tos
appreciate the great tutorial
immensely useful reviews
the responsiveness is faster and quicker
image quality is on par with that of a good smartphone
The in-camera software is excellent
plenty of color
contrast and shadow detail

would make the 4K upper models run cooler
lenses are no longer an important component of photographic equipment
4K content is coming on like gangbusters
No small action camera has any form of mechanical (optical) zoom
not the only feature
see compression and motion artifacts and details are pretty soft and mushy
Hero lacks a Micro-HDMI port letting
Not a huge loss
no external microphone input without the Media Mod
GoPro HERO 9 Black has horizon levelling built directly into the camera
the camera does it at all is pretty annoying
horizon levelling only works when shooting in linear mode
is the term often gets thrown around a bit too much
sports shops no longer carry GoPro products
lack of GPS gauge stickers in Quik
it s only available in linear mode
losing a fair bit of resolution
the mount looks a bit ugly / bulky
limited to configuring the camera using the small monochrome
no tripod screw in the foot
nor can you remove its battery for quick changes in the field
Edges show more stretch than the center
the video gets a little grainy
time-lapses are often the way to go on action cameras
this touchscreen is nevertheless not as responsive as it could be
64GB microSD card and running really hot)
little too much noise-reduction processing is applied to images
small 2-inch touchscreen at the rear of the Hero would be awkward to use
The newer model costs the same as the model it replaces
