5K Video GoPro Hero 9
Capture up to 5K30 resolution video and maintain high detail even when zooming in. Packing a new 23.6MP sensor, the HERO9 Black brings lifelike image sharpness, fluid motion, and in-camera horizon leveling for optimal image quality.
20MP Photo with SuperPhoto
Shoot crisp, pro-quality photos with 20MP clarity. Apply SuperPhoto to automatically pick all the best image processing to easily get the right shot.
Expandable Mods System
The HERO9 Black is compatible with multiple add-on mods that expand the camera for a more comprehensive workflow. The optional mods include the Max Lens Mod, Light Mod, and Media Mod. Between these mods, you can achieve horizon locked footage, LED illumination, external mic recording, and more.
Built-In Mounting
No more carrying a separate frame. Just flip out the folding fingers and attach your camera to virtually any mounting accessory.
Front Display + Rear Touchscreen
The rear touchscreen of the HERO9 Black is larger than in the previous model of the camera but offers the same familiar features, including touch zoom. The front display has also been upgraded and now shows a live preview in addition to status indicators. You can now frame your shot right from the front display.
Powerful Battery
The HERO9 Black’s 1720mAh battery has a 30% longer battery life than the battery of the HERO8 Black.
HyperSmooth 3.0
The GoPro HERO9 Black features a more advanced video stabilization with HyperSmooth 3.0, which enables in-camera horizon leveling and boost in all settings.
Horizon Leveling
In-camera horizon leveling (up to 45% tilt) is now possible with the new Linear + Horizon Leveling digital lens, helping your footage stay stable and straight.
TimeWarp 3.0
Record time-lapse scenes as you move on the road, on foot, or anywhere else. TimeWarp 3.0 condenses time, capturing moments with features like Speed Ramp, which lets you select Real Speed (now with audio) or Half Speed while recording.
Intuitive Touchscreen
The rear touchscreen makes it easier to control your camera, frame up your shot, play back footage, snap a selfie, and more.
Live Streaming in 1080p
Live stream in 1080p HD to social media via the GoPro app with HyperSmooth stabilization applied, and feel free to save your streamed footage to a microSD card to check out later. (The GoPro app is compatible with iOS and Android; microSD cards are sold separately.)
Webcam Mode
Connect the GoPro Hero 9 Black to your computer to broadcast in 1080p HD. Use optional GoPro mounts to create your ideal webcam setup.
Rugged + Waterproof
The HERO9 Black is designed rugged for virtually all weather conditions and is waterproof down to 33′ right out of the box, without any waterproof housing required.
Power Tools
The HERO9 Black features the Power Tools suite of smart capture settings that extend capture options with tools like HindSight, LiveBurst, Scheduled Capture, and Duration Capture.
Power Tools HindSight
HindSight captures video from 30 seconds before you press record, so you’ll never miss a moment again, like that unexpected first base hit. With HindSight turned on, the camera will capture 30 seconds of video before you hit the shutter button, and everything after, until you stop recording.
Power Tools LiveBurst
Record what happens 1.5 seconds before and after your shot, then pick your favorite single frame for the best pic or a shareable video.
Power Tools Scheduled Capture
This feature lets you schedule the start time for your shot in advance.
Power Tools Duration Capture
Choose how long the GoPro Hero 9 Black records before automatically stopping.
Night-Lapse Video
Shoot time-lapse videos at night in 4K, 2.7K 4:3, 1440p, or 1080p, all processed in-camera.
Presets + Custom Presets
The HERO9 Black comes preloaded with recommended video presets for Standard, Activity, Cinematic, and Slo-Mo shots. You can even create custom presets for quick access to your favorite settings.
Digital Lenses
Epic shots are as easy as tapping a digital lens. Now you can switch between Narrow, Linear, Wide, SuperView, and Linear + Horizon Leveling.
Voice Control
Go hands-free with 14 voice commands like “GoPro, take a photo.” Even if the camera is off, you can say, “GoPro, turn on.” The HERO9 Black understands English (US, UK, AU, and India), Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (BR), Russian, Spanish (EU and NA), and Swedish.

Ultra high frame rate 1080p240 video with HyperSmooth 3.0 stabilization allows up to 8x slow motion for this ever-popular effect.
