![]() It can smooth out the roughest track with massive amounts of vibration that would otherwise leave you with unwatchable footage. The 9’s switchable image stabilization feature is remarkable. Most other users on skateboards, skis, mountain bikes, unicycles, etc., rely on the battery. The difference between us (motorcyclists) and most users is that with the addition of a USB outlet on the handlebar, we are sitting on top of a big charger, and we can, if we want, run it all day long. Obviously, that’s a big plus, but that works for everyone. ![]() 5k is on a whole other level, or if you want lesser quality it also has 4k, 2.7k and 1080P, and it can shoot in 24, 30, 60, 120, and 240 frames per second, depending on how you want or need your frame rate to look, maybe for doing extreme slow motion stuff to see incredible detail. So the big question: Why as a motorcyclist would you want a Hero 9 Black versus every other camera out there, including other GoPro cameras or your phone, which probably has a pretty good camera on it and works in a way that you are already familiar with? The rear screen is touch-sensitive, the front screen isn’t, but can be changed from a mini-monitor to an info output display easily in the menu if you prefer it set up that way. Side by side with the 8 Black, it’s slightly bigger, mainly due to a bigger battery, which gives about 30% more user time, and the new front screen, which is a great addition if you want to film yourself and know you are actually in the shot and not cutting half your head off. They sent me the basic kit, which included the camera, one battery, one cable, and one mount. They suggested I might like the 9 Black a lot more than the 8. They invited me to test a 9, and to be honest, my initial response was not in the affirmative. So why am I writing this review about the GoPro 9 Black? after seeing a few detailed videos of how good the 8 was, I jumped back in-and I love how easy it is to use. But I hated the menu structure on the early models so much that I rarely used the thing. I had bought loads of batteries for it because I always forgot to turn it off. I previously owned a GP3, or maybe a 4-I forget which. I recently updated my own with a pair of GoPro 8 Black models. GoPro has been around for years, and their cameras are spectacularly popular. This article was sponsored by GoPro who also provided the GoPro 9 Black.
