GoPro HERO9 Black Has Launched

The GoPro HERO9 Black has been announced. It has a bigger battery, shoots up to 5K30 video, color front preview screen, 20MP sensor (up from 12MP in the HERO8 Black), built-in horizon leveling, upgraded HyperSmooth 3.0 and TimeWarp 3.0 video stabilization, and new HindSight, Scheduled Capture, and Duration Capture modes.

GoPro has set the MSRP at $449.99. GoPro.com is also running a launch promotion where you get the camera for $349.98 when you sign up for a 1-year subscription to GoPro (it used to be called GoPro PLUS).

There’s also a HERO9 Black Bundle for $399.98 with a 1-year subscription to GoPro or $499.99 without the subscription.

New Accessories

Many of the same accessories from the HERO8 Black will work with the HERO9 Black, but there are some that won’t. Some add new feature, some relate to the new, larger battery, and some relate to the slightly modified body design.

I’ve put together a more detailed guide on which accessories will work with the HERO9 Black, but here’s a quick list of some of the new, dedicated accessories for the HERO9 Black.

• HERO9 Black Media Mod
• HERO9 Black Protective Housing + Waterproof Case
• HERO9 Black Max Lens Mod. This contributes to extra stabilization and horizon lock as well an even wider (155-degree) field of view.
• The GoPro HERO9 Black uses a new, larger battery. And that also means that the older battery chargers won’t work; there’s a new one.
• HERO9 Black Floaty
• HERO9 Black Bite Mouth Mount + Floaty
• HERO9 Black Sleeve + Lanyard
