Here's what's new with the HERO9 Black!

Tech companies are all announcing new releases in mid-September. Action cameras have revolutionized video recording〈〈.GoProThe "〉" is just one of those things.

GoPro's latest model, the GoPro HERO 9 BLACK, is now available.

HERO9 Black" Open price Available at GoPro.com and authorized dealers in Japan.

Let's take a look at the features that have changed significantly.

New sensor that allows for the capture of 5K video and 20 megapixel photos
Next-generation HyperSmooth 3.0 video stabilization with in-camera leveling on/off
New front display
Rear display with increased size
30% uprated battery life

A major change is the installation of a new front display.

It is convenient for selfies and is the perfect size for checking to see if you are recording. For those of us who are used to taking selfies with our smartphones, this is just what we wanted.

Video with a high quality of 5K is also a great advantage. For example, when you want to extract a still image from a video shot, it promises more than sufficient resolution as a still image.

In addition, the newly introduced Max Lens Modular accessory allows for Max HyperSmooth video stabilization and Max SuperView for ultra-wide angle photo and video capture.

GoPro subs and CSRs.

As a socially responsible company, they are also embarking on a program of plastic reduction. Instead of camera packaging, the company appears to be eliminating plastic as much as possible by using high-quality travel cases that can also hold mounts and accessories.

We have also changed the name of our subscription service from "GoPro Plus" to "GoPro Subscription". The subscriptions include special offers, unlimited cloud storage for footage taken with GoPro cameras, and unconditional camera replacement coverage. And they plan to add new services one after another.

As a viewer, you are probably aware of the fact that not only what is projected but also "how" it is projected, in other words, the quality of the camera greatly influences the power of the video image. The 5G era is in full swing, and video viewing is becoming more and more a part of our daily lives. For those who want to shoot videos with a special attention to detail, I think it would be a good idea to pick up a GoPro camera first, regardless of whether you are a professional user or a general user.
