GoPro HERO9 Black – 5K Video, 20MP Photos, Front LCD & Rear Touch Screen Waterproof Action Camera

Overview

GoPro HERO9 Black redefines compact action capture. Built around a 23.6MP sensor, it preserves more texture and color, so stills look closer to what you remember. In video mode, you can record up to 5K resolution, keeping fine detail even when you crop during edits or create wide, cinematic frames. The design pairs a larger front LCD with a bright rear touch screen, making framing more intuitive from any angle and letting you adjust exposure, framing, and settings on the fly. The result is footage and photos that feel immersive, whether you're scaling a cliff, paddling through waves, or navigating a crowded festival. It’s engineered to perform in dynamic environments, so you can focus on capturing the moment rather than fiddling with gear.

Beyond the screen and sensor, HERO9 Black offers features aimed at real-time sharing and creative storytelling. Live streaming at 1080p lets you broadcast your adventures with stabilized video, and the webcam mode makes it easier to join calls or produce content from your setup. HyperSmooth 3.0 delivers steadier footage in action-packed scenes, while TimeWarp 3.0 builds polished time-lapse clips as you move. The camera’s rugged build and waterproof depth to 33 feet mean you can take it from the shoreline to the boat deck or snowy slope without worrying about the weather or splashes. Combined with its compatibility with GoPro apps and editing tools, HERO9 Black encourages experimentation—from slow-motion recaps to fast-paced montages—without overcomplicating your workflow.
