GoPro’s new Hero 9 Black has a bigger battery and front-facing screen
GoPro newest camera, the Hero 9 Black, is now available for sale. The model contains a handful of new but useful features that the company hopes will keep them on the bleeding edge in the action camera category.
Of the features, the most notable change is the front 1.4-inch front-facing display. The screen is designed to help users set up their shots better, especially when filming themselves. The rear touchscreen has also been enlarged, growing from 1.95 to 2.27 inches.
The body of the camera has also increased in size, with the battery being upgraded from a 1,220 to 1,720 mAh unit. The shooting resolution has been improved, with 20-megapixel stills and 5K video at 30 FPS being now possible.
Hero 9 Black will retail for $450 but can also be had for $350 by purchasing a one-year subscription to GoPro's software service. There's also a $100 Max Lens mod, which increases the camera's stabilisation and field-of-view.
