The GoPro HERO9 action camera is more robust in almost every way: 5k video, larger battery, and a more robust 20-megapixel sensor. For $449, there is a lot of camera in a very small package. Becca Farsace has the full review.

Is GoPro the action camera king again?
Yes it is.
this looks amazing
What’s the song at 3:43?
Nope
Yes
A good o one
TT
I vlog on an iPhone but instead of upgrading to a new iPhone (12 Pro), I’m thinking of getting a Hero 9. Long term, it’s a big money saver. I run a wild camping channel. Most footage is outside. Would you recommend it as a main vlogging camera? Sometimes would be inside talking-to-cam footage too. Thanks.
Great review. Really great. Thank you.
Every time I see this person I wonder if she requests her barber use the clippers with the electrical short to give her that 'look'
When you have a camera 10 times the size and can only record 1080p lol
Nice (unshaven) legs haha. Awesome review tho
🥰😍😍😍😍😍😘😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 ilove gopro❤️❤️❤️
I want to get an action camera for (eventual) travel and for hiking etc. I'm very tempted by the 360 (the bubble, the pano etc) of the GoPro Max but its quality is markedly worse than the hero 9... if i'm not going for a cinematic level quality, would the Max be ok or should I really just go with the 9?
Amazing video! Love the content
It’s a pretty nice camera great 5k
Thanks for the info. I got this for Christmas and have no idea how to use the GoPro.
Nice content thanks for the tips
3:20 Damn those Hairy Legs.
Solid review. Thank you!
Gopro 9 is missing a very important feature: Live Preview on the Gopro app is not supported while recording video. That feature was available in the previous versions. Most of the time I use my phone to preview what I am recording. By missing the said feature, I can no longer frame/record perfect shots when my Gopro is 20ft in the air on a monopod/selfie stick. Very disappointing.
This is my first action camera so thank you for this. I'm getting this tomorrow.
Great video, Thanks!!!
What's this boy advertising here
what are your GoPro settings?????????????
😍
❤
The absolute worst aspect of earlier gopro cams was the hideous fishbowl effect. That's now available as a mod?
Thanks for helping me choose what camera to get!!!
Bro the HEAVY lag on that screen tho
Is this Star Trek, I'm seeing advanced planet visits.
But the camera is .....well....plastic, lol
I wish i have one.......😔
Few important things are missing from the review: It will crash, much more often than you expect. The touch screen is super hard to use and will annoy you every day. The scheduled capture is not working. Of course GoPro won't admit it, but will "Improve" it with some not specified in time firmware update. The max lens mod wouldn't first screw to the correctly to the camera, after 100 tries and scrubbing metal from the lens body, it will eventually somehow will. GoPro support is of course friendly but useless and keeps repeating their scripts almost like bots.
I think I’ll stay with my GoPro8 until a 10 maybe, next year.
this makes me want to work for the verge so bad
I also like this camera I would love to have a camera like this in my hand. But there are no assets to buy one like this. I am a poor student in Sri Lanka. Likes to serve people through social media. Your video is good. Very beautiful and congratulations from the bottom of my heart. 🙏😃
which camera & lens use in your video? awesome video quality
but what camera did you use to record this video???? 😍
Would really love if they came out with a lens mod that let me optically zoom while using the camera
Very nice video bravo and full support dear lady all the best Regards from Croatia Europe

Until it has to be sent back and it takes a month to get one back to replace it.
What a great review. I've never been interested in a go pro until now, and this certainly helped me to decide.
Nice review. Can I add a link of this video on my Go Pro Hero 9 Unboxing vlog as an in-depth review? Keep up the great work.
Sorry but returned mine after a week. Video was jittery (unuseable) in low light. GoPro 7 no problem.
Great 👍🏼 video! Just ordered my Hero 9 last night 👽😜😆.
With the GoPro9, GoPro silently removed the feature of having a live preview during recording on your phone via the GoPro App. Which was allready present on older models... I ran into this problem, contacted GoPro and learned that this feature is removed due to limited processing capabilities of the GoPro9 to handle both the recording as well as a live preview. So not just during the new 5K, but for all resolutions/framerates. Which is very odd as it worked in older models... So it seems 'MORE Everything...Except we forgot to mention that it's LESS for some allready existing features.... ' However, I don't see the removal of this functionality on the GP9 mentioned in any review, but for those who do expect to use the preview as in older models, it would be good to mention it in a review in order for potential buyers getting surprised and disappointed.
Bravo, intéressant
Becca seems pretty cool and authentic. Made the review a joy to watch. Keep it up.
I like this lady
Am I the only one having touch issues with the screen??? :/
Friend, I sell gopro hero 9 accessories on amazon, can you help me do the product review? I have Battary charger, side door, screen protector, silicone case, lens cap, hope your reply
Does it make the jitters you get from walking or is that a thing of the past?
is the gopro footage post color corrected or straight out of the gopro?
Remote ? Will any old remotes work with the 9? Can any remote be used to start stop HindSight filming? Please help :)
I love her work and reviews keep her around please
Supet video, very intresting, iam from kerala
Ok seeing Becca in a swimsuit is messing with my mind. Not only does she do feminine, she does it WELL. Nice to see a different side of my other favorite member of The Verge. Now where's Dieter's swimsuit shoots, eh?
I like hero 9
Current know issues: :Randomly turns itself on : Battery % state inconsistent. :Touch screen under sensitive : Runs hot on 4 or 5K :Remaining record time counter freezes : Freezes whilst recording :Doesn't like some usb charges, inconsistent charge. Good news: All these issues should be easily fixed with firmware updates.
*Stay away from GoPro Hero9 as it is not compatible with 3.5mm Mic Adapter. So we can not use our own microphone but we have to use gopro's media mod. GoPro does not want us to use our own microphone. they disabled the support to use adapter with the latest firmware 1.21. Be careful guys.*
Ooops...I thought u are a guy
Thanks for the subtitles!!!
How is Becca so freaking cool?? Love watching her videos
I am still using Hero 3 Black and nobody it noticing it
I run those same trucks 👍🏽
Thanks, I have Hero 6 and 8 and this version of GoPro doesn't really excite me the stabilization very little improvement and there is still heating and freezing problem so I will wait for Her 20 for the freezing and heating to be resolved.
how much did gopro pay the verge for this ad?
@BeccaFarsace i really liked the cap you used at the end of the video. Could you please mention which brand is that ?
Song at 3:43?
I heard gopro 9 is insane but still I cannot effort to get it yet😀
Does it still inconveniently crash or not not turn when you really need it 🤯
Coolest chick and I just found you on the tube 🚇 also what kinda trucks are those on that board the wide ones I like
Was this video shot on the GoPro9 ??
A bra wtf
Super 👌
Just got one and it's my first ever gopro I'm hype about it👌😎
Ain't all action cameras under $500???
The title of the video should read: "GoPro Hero 9 review: 5K powerhouse thats OVER $400"
Still not better than dji 😑
what camera was used to makes this video and what lens was used?
It's out of point but, can anyone tell me that what board is she riding in the clip? (name or brand) haha it's so cool !
I’ve been watching other reviews and some say that the front screen doesn’t even work in 5K. Is this true?
Hey Verge, can please once tell us what GoPro pays you for these videos? Nothing Is more interesting than knowing that.
Bic
Hi if you dont mind to tell, what's camera/lense do you use for this vlog? thanks.
And one see the squirrel at 5:41 lol
Your smile is crazy coool ! And btw the gopro9 is also coool! 😄
The number of ads interrupting this video make it unwatchable.
So she really a she, at first i thought she is a pretty boy😂😂
New to watching this channel, but this person makes great and entertaining reviews! Happily watch more!
This was a great review, thanks!
3:17 ever heard of shaving? eww
Becca is probably the best tech reviewer for me
what camera are you using for shooting this video?????
wowie
Becca rocks
I love her video concept, jst in the wood
And still has the buggy freezing and having to pull the battery out etc. GoPro fix those bugs
U look like Ellen
I will never purchase another gopro. I have the 8, and it will not stay running due to the over heating issues.
3:16 😤✂️
She really reminds me of RyanF9
