GoPro Reveals the HERO9 Black 5K Action Camera; More Info at B&H

Pro Video News: The GoPro HERO9 adds 5K capture and numerous action camera upgrades

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--B&H Photo would like to share the announcement of the new GoPro HERO9 Black action camera that records stunning 5K30 video and 20MP still photos using an enormous 23.6MP sensor packed in its tiny form. It also has room enough for a front display as well as a large rear touchscreen. And not only do you get more powerful imagery, you get 30% more battery life, too.

While the HERO9 Black has all the great features of its predecessor, the HERO8 Black, such as a waterproof housing, 1080p livestreaming, night-lapse, digital lenses, multi-language voice control, and SuperPhoto + HDR, the HERO9 takes things even further. Its updated video features include HyperSmooth 3.0, which provides even more stability with in-camera horizon leveling that supports up to +/-45% tilt. TimeWarp 3.0 has been updated to include speed ramping to record at real speed with audio or at half speed to condense your time-lapse scenes.

It uses a microSD card for recording, and you can also transfer your photos and videos using the USB Type-C port.

Finally, a family of versatile mod extensions will be available to add functionality to the HERO9 Black, such as the Max Lens Mod wide-angle stabilizer lens, the Light Mod to add lighting to your scene, and the Media Mod to add a microphone or other peripherals.
