With high-resolution, high-frame-rate video recording and tough, waterproof construction, GoPro’s incredibly popular line of action cams are the ultimate go-anywhere cameras. That ultra-wide lens accessory will bring Max HyperSmooth video stabilization (also seen on the GoPro Max) and the ability to lock the horizon even when it's rotated 360-degrees. SuperPhoto tech performs automatic improvements on lighting colour and noise-reduction across multiple frames. That's seriously cheap for a new GoPro camera, though as you can imagine this is definitely more of a stripped-down basic affair than the newer, more premium entries.

However, you can get a sizable discount on the Hero 9 Black if you get it with a one-year GoPro subscription. In both cases it did recover enough after five minutes to keep shooting, and shooting 5K is significantly more demanding than any mode on any other GoPro. In good light and the right conditions, there's no doubt that its 5K/30p mode, particularly when combined with the 'High' 100Mbps bit-rate, can capture more detail than any GoPro so far. She's had eight years of experience working in the e-commerce space and loves being a mom to her baby boy.The bundle includes a GoPro Hero 9, a 32GB SD card, a magnetic swivel clip, floating hand grip, spare battery, plus a one-year GoPro subscription.

There are certainly cheaper camera drones available, but this is one of the best premium setups out there. HERO+ captures immersive 1080p60 video and 8MP photos and features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which provide access to the GoPro App and Smart Remote (not included). Having worked in tech journalism for a ludicrous 17 years, Mark is now attempting to break the world record for the number of camera bags hoarded by one person.But if you shoot for the big screen and need a tough B-cam to go into places that your dedicated video camera can't reach, then it could be the best GoPro for you. If you are a seasoned pro, first time rider or haven't ridden in a while, we have something for everyone. That new front color display, while far from perfect, is also a very useful new feature for vlogging or general shooting.

This bundle also includes The Handler (Floating Hand Grip), giving you stability and control with handheld shots in and out of the water, plus Head Strap + QuickClip for a variety of head-mounting options.But it certainly still makes sense to carry a spare battery, or an external USB charger, if you want it to last the day. An oldie, but a goodie, the Hero 5 Black is unfortunately showing its age now but is still a worthwhile pickup if you can score a deal. This allows it to shoot 5K/30p video and take 20MP stills, while also supporting the more powerful HyperSmooth Boost stabilization mode (which crops your footage by 25%) in all resolutions and frame-rates. GoPro also offers a more compact, stripped-back Hero 11 Black Mini and, while no longer part of GoPro’s 2023 lineup, you can still find the budget-friendly Hero 9 Black.

GoPro's latest and greatest, the Hero 11 Black, was released in September of this year as the company's latest flagship camera. The Hero 9 Black is the biggest redesign of GoPro's flagship action camera since the Hero 5 Black, and the results are mostly positive (with a few caveats). HyperSmooth stabilization remains the best you can get from an action camera, and the in-camera horizon leveling is a useful (if not entirely flawless) addition.The new battery boosts its stamina a little, but it's only a minor improvement and we found the Hero 9 Black more prone to overheating that its predecessors. The Handler gives you extra stability when you need to shoot point-of-view footage, while the Media Mod features a built-in directional mic with wind suppression to help outsmart challenging weather conditions. It's also important that it attaches to your clothing or gear so you can focus on the moment and leave it to your GoPro to capture the incredible footage.
