It's a feature I tend to turn off-it works, but it can be a bit too eager to listen. You can say things like, 'GoPro, record,' and the camera will follow your commands. You can also set it to act as an information display, just as on the Hero8 and earlier models. You can add letterbox bars if you want to see accurate framing, but the image is notably smaller. It makes the process of mounting the camera and setting up a frame a bit easier, especially if you're trying to put yourself in the shot. The front screen doesn't support touch, and it's not a wide-screen view, but it's fine to help you gauge your frame. The Hero9 sports a new chassis that's a bit larger than the previous generation, but it's still one of the smallest 4K cameras out there, and certainly the tiniest we've seen with support for 5K recording, at just 2.8 by 2.2 by 1.3 inches (HWD) and 5.6 ounces. If those upgrades are compelling to you, it's another worthy offering from GoPro, but it has to compete with last year's fantastic Hero8 Black, priced $50 lower. It utilizes the extra space well-pumping a bit of extra life into the battery, swapping the dated monochrome information panel for a full-color front display, and including support for add-on lenses. The Hero9 Black ($349.98 with one-year GoPro subscription) is a little bit bigger all around than last year's still-on-sale Hero8 Black. The rating was changed from 3 to 4 stars.įor the first time in years, GoPro has changed the design of its flagship action camera.
