The GoPro Hero9 Black is still convincing in the CHIP test lab in 2022. The action cam has two displays for image control in front of and behind the camera, a maximum video resolution of 5K and an overall good battery life. The GoPro Hero9 Black is currently the GoPro action cam with the best price-performance ratio.
Actioncams - the cameras for adventurers Actioncams deliver gripping images from the actor's point of view - of surfing, paddling, hang gliding or downhill riding. A small action cam can be attached almost anywhere and its recordings are extremely wide-angle. This means: it delivers full panorama with a fish-eye effect...
- The stabilisation function enables shots that are usually more familiar from gimbal-supported systems. The other features are also convincing.
- In some situations, the brightness balance between different image areas could work a little better.
The new GoPro Hero9 Black is convincing all along the line. The image quality is very good, the stabilisation works excellently, as does the brand new horizon lock. If you're looking for a powerful action camera, the Hero9 Black is the perfect choice.
The Hero9 is not a new milestone, but it is a touch better than its predecessor and clearly the best action cam currently available. The video quality is as good as usual, the image stabiliser is excellent and the battery life is slightly longer. Owners of a Hero8 or Hero7 don't necessarily have to upgrade.
