I still don't hve gopro 1 and im still watching this .
this really made me laugh!
He says you must upgrade :P
😂😂😹
You're definitely missing out!
1:35
Rip that phone
lmao
nice
This is why its important to read the comments. I didnt notice that the first time. but its funnier the 2nd and 3rd times haha
was lookin for this comment
Don’t worry it’s in reverse
Finally.... my Sunday has been waiting for this! Thank you. Your videos are super helpful.
Learn from this guy everyone. He wanted to do a video comparison. So he brought wifey and kiddo to the beach and he messed around with the cameras. Win win for everyone. Subbed sir.
I just received my Hero9 this morning, upgrading from the Hero8. For me there were enough changes (large and small) to justify the upgrade. #1 by far is the removable lens. #2 is the addition of the front screen view. #3 is longer battery life. #4 is I like how the power and start/stop buttons are easier to find without looking at the camera, I always have to look at the 8 to turn it on/off. #5, funny enough, is that the battery door opens further than the 8 does. I constantly kept popping off the door by accident. #beagoodhuman
I need to know does it hang a lot. i am planning to buy next month on sale - India
Great insightful video. I have the 8 and I am still in love with it. I don't think I'll upgrade to this year's version but it is definitely interesting to see how GoPro is making big strides every year
Was waiting for this one! Really looking forward to a Osmo Action comparison!! Awesome vid man!
Hey Dave. Thanks again for these great insights. Does the snap mount that you recommended earlier on work with the GoPro 9? Cheers from Boston
2:02 Nice
Without seeing comments....i said 2:02 also
One thing I have been observing from early looks, the hero 8 appears to be better in low light than the 9. Not that either of these will be great in low light, but it is something to note.
Great video! Question- Could I film everything in a set FPS and then slow down or timelapse it in the software? I'm newer, and never really know when I will want that footage. Would be nice to decide after filming...
HI David! Great video, I appreciate you taking the time to doing comparison between both the 9 vs. 8! Quick question, what is the tripod that is this video that you have the gopro's on in your 'studio' setting?
5k is good for stabilisation and the horizen levelling is impressive I wish phones would incorporate that tech
The water mic drain test actually does work. You can hear a clear difference. I'm surprised you as the producer was not able to tell the difference. Audio at 11:10 compared to 11:17. The audio from the Gopro 8 sounds more muted.
Absolutely could spot the difference
Agreed
Came to find this comment. I was like “oh wow that’s actually quite a bit better” ... “there’s no difference” ... “Um what?”
Really did hear the 9 more clearly, even on an old T430 laptop. Never had a GoPro, but looks like I can't go wrong with this new model!
It looks like the GPB 9 doesn't have a USB out, so is the Bluetooth as good or better to use it as a real time web cam?
This is a super helpful video. Great direct relevant information and fun to watch! Thank you. One question: which stick would you recommend together with the GP 8 or 9 when shooting outdoors on sail boats?
How are we gonna see the difference between 5k and 4k when the clip on youtube is at only 1080p?
By far the best video on the Hero 9 that is out to date!! No one else mentioned that metal lens mount-in the long run, that’s the killer feature! When I heard about the super wide I didn’t care, it’s plenty wide now!! But a 1X, 2X or even 5X would be fantastic!! GoPros main competition for the average user is a smartphone, these updates push it way over the top against them: legitimate action cam, better stabilization, now a long lens, all in a smaller size.
I agree. I just heard him mentioning about the metal lens mount. After his explanation specially because i shoot a lot outdoors i would say go pro 9 is great.
Just got the Hero 8 literally a few days ago, the upgrade is not worth it. You can give a great camera to anybody, it does not mean they will produce great content. How you film and edit is by far a much more important skill of film making. I’m loving the 8 so far, and will see what the 10 will look like. Thanks for the review to help dispel any questions people may have had. Great stuff 🙏🏽🔥😎
Because you just bought it
@@markjaik 8 better than 9
We already talked about why i prefer a lens that is not removable, but seeing that the mount system is no longer plastic, im excited to see how it performs. My 7’s lens from constant removal felt “loose”. And i had fogging issues, now that its metal, i feel confident that if i start having those same issues, a new lens will fix the problem. After all, the metal “mount” wont wear over time from plastic friction. Love the front screen for vloggin! Totally upgrading from the 8!
@Davidmanning you should make a poll on your channel to see how many plan to get it 😬
David, I was wondering witht the new 5K on the Hero9, what should I be looking in a computer as far as specs for post editing with a $1000 budget.
11:13 but the audio from the hero9 still sounds better after the water dunk test!
It’s nice to see the Carlsbad sign on video. I live there.
I would have liked to have a seen a direct comparison in different environments, such as somewhere slightly darker than the beach. I've got an 8 and I've found that it does start to struggle in darker environments (ie inside buildings and airplanes) so the bigger sensor with probably better lower light capability is what I'm most excited about. Cheers
And what mounts are there to quickly go from, say, a secure windscreen mount to either a hand held mount or a tripod?
I just upgraded from the GoPro 7 and am super happy. If I had the 8, I'd upgrade just for that removable lens again 🔥 Horizon Leveling is incredible, love it!
im on the 7black, thinking in buying this 9 for the photo resolution. For video as I don't know nothing in video edit... and never get as pro edit as I see on YT videos, it's a secondary thing
I just brought the 8 and media mod and now I have to get the 9 and it’s media mod lol camera is sick!
That removable lens feature is really making me consider getting one. My hero 8 takes a beating while mountain biking. Having a removable lens should really help longevity.
MTB MOR ended up selling my 8 to a buddy, gave him a deal on it.. picked up the 9 and I couldn’t be happier it’s so sick. Worth it in my opinion
@@MTBMOR can I why Ur camera takes a beating pls. From vibrations or from stacking it.
I seemed to notice a big difference in out of water quality vs. the 8, am I missing something here?
No....... you are correct the difference was the background noise was less in the 9. I was like are you deaf?
And the water test the 9 was streets ahead.
The 5 k vs 4 k was a big difference.
Thanks for the video. So the GoPro Pro 3.5 Mic Adapter will work on the Hero 9?
It's supposed to, but needs a firmware update. However, HERO9 IS listed as being compatible with Pro mic adapter.
Hey David, I've watched a few of your videos and this is the one that made me subscribe.
I'm contemplating upgrading from the Hero 8 to the 9.
Keep up the great work Bro.
I got my HERO3+ the day they came out here in Australia, I'm still a happy customer, even the rubber is sticky nowadays so it is harder to drop. D:
Awesome vid! I think I’m gonna upgrade from hero 7 silver to the hero 9 black!
I only had options up to 1080 on the video? How am I supposed to know what 4k looks like?
what one is for snorkeling & free diving? i'm trying to find a underwater camera.. is it easy to used it and easy to learn if you haven't had a underwater camera??
Si tenes la 8 no creo que sea importante cambiar a la 9. Si tenés 5,6 o 7 si. Gracias David
Enjoying mine this weekend. Definitely worth it.
Nice! How did you color grade the still photo example?
Can you detail the audio input option? With the 8 it’s necessary to buy either, the dongle adapter thingy, or that shroud case deal. Did the 9 improve on this and allow direct input of a mic into an 1/8” jack?
I still have the 3+... this will be a great day when I get it comes tomorrow!
Where did you get that hat? So sick!
Was it worth the purchase? I'm in the same situation I have the 3+ black right now and I don't know if this is worth the upgrade
@@Planetspud yes! Absolutely worth it. I took it to Hawaii and got some amazing footage. So much better than the 3+ black.
I just got mine today. I upgraded from 3+silver
Hey did you end up getting the 8 or 9? I have the 3+ too 😅
I was waiting for this!!
Great Video...👍🏻 I have a question tho... I’ve only ever had the GoPro3 and looking to purchase an upgrade action camera. I have a few of dji’s products and must admit I am a bit fan.... me question is, should I go for the hero 9 or wait for the osmo action 2 when it finally gets released..?
Thanks I’m advance...
Sorry not relative to the video , I'm new to gopro I have the 9 but is there anyway I can connect it to my tv maybe with hdmi cable or is it possible to cast it, any advise welcome thanks
"back in the day when we had Hero 4's and 3's..."
Me looking in the corner at my Hero 2 I still have lmao
i had the 4 silver then upgraded too the 8 im happy with the 8 dont need too upgrade maybe ill upgrade with the 11 or 12
IMHO, the GoPro Hero 9's "horizon leveling" has rendered all other action cameras, including all previous GoPro models, obsolete!
The Max also has horizon leveling
Hero 8 has horizon leveling...
@@bobjohn7329 didn't know that and I own one!
@@bobjohn7329 Only in post production. Not in the camera itself.
@@hkitm well, in post every camera has horizon leveling :)
Awesome video David!! I am so stoked about this 9!! I have the 8 now and I am getting the 9 to go with my 8 asap! Your review on it was awesome.. so many possibilities and features. Thank you David! I look forward to more videos!
So , someone just came to collect my 7 Black and dual charger. I normally use it for skiing and none of that on the horizon ....
Question - bite the bullet and buy the nine , buy a 360 (I have no idea how to stitch , or put it an envelope in the safe and buy a 10 ??? I have my smart phone till then ....
Any advice ?
Awesome.... been looking forward to thus one 🤟
🤔Morgan does know not to get into vans with strangers, right? 😂🤣
Great video man.
Haha yeah I thought the same to lol
I can't wait to get my Go Pro Hero 9. How is it in low light scenes (both camera and video)? While I know it is still early besides batteries what other accessories are currently available and compatible, that you recommend getting?
How close up does it film? Is it any closer than the 8?
Hey, you are a motorcycle rider, aren't you? Here is another reason to upgrade from the 8 - horizon leveling. If you install it on a motorcycle and ride twisties or on a track, then you can capture those MotoGP-like moments of lean, when you can see your bike and body leaning all the way into the turn while the horizon stays level.
That’s why I ordered one immediately. Horizon leveling and the Max Lens Mod are going to be sweet!
I ordered one as well... still crap audio for moto vlogging :( Think Ill use an external set for that :(
I'm actually going to film on my bike this coming weekend and post it up on youtube. I'll compare it with the hero 8 with and without the media mod.
I already filmed while running and riding my electric scooter. Also filmed in the car with the sun glaring behind me to show the differences in how well they handle sunglare behind a dark subject. I find stuff like that matters to potential users
Yeah, use an external device like the Zoom H1n or the Tascam DR-10L.
100% audio improvement, especially for motovlogging.
Just a few easy moments to merge sync the audio to the video, most modern editors can handle it with a breeze, like Adobe Premier Pro, DaVinci Resolve, etc. and presto.
Daniel Lopes I also use an external sound recorder. Tascam DR-05X. It’s awesome. I keep it in the trunk of my CBR1000RR and plug it straight into the GoPro Media Mod. I don’t have to sync the audio that way and it’s recorded right onto the video. You can fine tune the levels very very precisely. I am a little disappointed that the the Mods are not available yet for the Hero 9. 🤬 Sample ua-cam.com/video/ffcdUYleVDA/v-deo.html
Do you choose DJI Osmo action or GoPro 9?
GoPro 9👍
David Manning Sweet Thanks!!!
I’m sure DJI is gonna respond with a dji osmo action 2, and then I’ll see which one to get
I’m still gonna wait for Osmo Action 2. I can do what I want with my GoPro 7 and Osmo Action.
I don’t have any go pro before should I buy 9 or 8 go pro . Which one is better . Whatcha cam I should is go for ?
How does the Hero 9 work with Quik and data overlays / gauges Hero 8 does not work with Quik and applying overlays / gauges unless you down grade the camera software to 1.20 and add the missing XML file to the telemetry/data profiles folder (At least that is the only way I can get it to work) . Did you by chance test that out with Quik. I would think it still does not work since I have not seen any updates to Quik. But figured I would ask anyway.
I need that horizontal leveling!! When is the max lens coming out?
I have my hero 9 ordered and I also have the 8 and max really impressed in the direction they are going.
in selfie direction not for action cameras with lot of noise in low light
THANK YOU DAVID. This is the You Tube video I was waiting for, I have an 8, and it great to see someone comparing the two. You the man, thanks from the UK.
Very detailed comparison. Thanks for the great review!
I definitely noticed that on ur beach shot the GoPro hero 8 it’s a lot more stable u noticed this if u look at the background the 9 is shakier at 9:32
Yoandri Diaz ..good pick up
James Stanovic thank you
He forgot to enable hypersmooth 3.0. he just testing the audio.
The sound was better on the 9 after immersion in water, definitely
Great comparison video David, love the pre-record feature especially. Wished they's have included a proper MIC input though like the 4.
I still have the 5 black and I use once every two years. Should I upgrade or wait for gopro 16 ?
I sure hope so because I ordered one yesterday. 😉
I’m just a little worried about the audio. The media mod doesn’t seem to help all that much.
I need an upgrade. Im still rocking a hero 3+ black
Your a Legend, should impress you the 9
I'm also using the old 3+ silver 😁
I just bought 9 going from 3+ black too haha it's time for an update
Same :(
Love the front screen! BUT, I sometimes use my GoPro while hunting. Don't want the light projecting in front of me which will alert game to my position. Is it possible to turn it off?
I currently have a Sony FDR X3000 action cam. It has built in stabilization. While it has this stabilization my big complaint is that when mounted on a stuntman chest and I hit it with my knee or elbow quick and jarring, the result is jumpy/flickering video. Question: do you know or can you do a test to determine if either the GoPro 8 or 9's stabilization can handle these sudden jarring hits without jumpy/flicker video results? Thanks a lot.
For me personally, I see no reason to upgrade from my 7. I need a 1 inch sensor and better low light performance. Front screen, horizon leveling and 5k don’t help me out much when the sensor can’t go past 800iso without absolutely murdering the quality.
same here
Not enough of a quality/feature jump to justify replacing my 7 either
Came here to say the same thing. The horizontal leveling is intriguing, but not $450 better than my Hero 7 that still seems new to me. The Hero 7 was a pretty big jump in stabilization technology. It doesn't make any sense to me why he would include it in his "automatic upgrade" category.
EMo agreed. Definitely not “automatic upgrade” feature.
I guess the gopro x will have a 1 inch sensor, don't you think 🤔 would be cool!
Can you run the camera while charging on a battery pack. Or do you have to have multiple batteries?
question; I still have a good hero7 but I'm doubting on buying a new one for surfing/kitesurfing. I'm choosing between a hero9 or max. What would you advise? I like the possibility of filming everything like the max does... front of the board, me on the board.. when it is in my kitelines I can see the kite, but also me.. so that is an advantage. Also with the horizon levelling!
BUT 1080p? pfff so then the 9 is more interesting with 5k, also horizon levelling with the max lens mod.. but then again, the lens is not for sale yet?? and also is the 9 not more like the 7 and would it not be more interesting to have a hero and a 360?
Then also; would I still buy the max or is there a new version coming out soon?? Don't want to buy it now and then in a month or so a new one is coming out..
I don't know... could you help me along?
Ordered one today. Also I'm coming from a hero3
hey david could you please tell me with what settings did you upload the gopro footage on youtube?
Hey David loved the video. Got a quick question. Does the hero 9 have the same battery door like the 8? I mean does it pop off easily?
*Has 658 camera mounts, and 1 car seat!*
FOR REAL!!! I'm changing that asap!
Woah a new one already? Still on my 7 why would i upgrade?
That is what I am thinking!
If you are happy with vid quality of your h7b - keep it; upgrading just for upgrade sake is silly.
@@wondererag yeah i am pretty sure the only thing that has sold me on these newer gopros is the stabilization and the fact that it is case less
I currently have a hero 7 black and I wanna upgrade. Is it worth it to pay the extra money for the 9 if I won't even be using the front screen? Or should I just get a Hero 8 black?
this is by far the best review I've seen on this. that 15 sec hindsight rec!! total game changer!! you sold me.
Honestly Go Pro 5,6,7 and 8 are still good! People need to know that editing plays a big role too. Besides, you don't use your go pro that much anyway.
Gopro deserves credit for how masterfully they DON'T release improvements! After 9 of these things, it's obvious now that this isn't the bumble of a young innocent start up, but the calculated baiting of current customers into a new "improved" futire product.
Nice man. Ordered mine last night from the GoPro site. Can’t wait to get it in a few days. I’m upgrading from the Hero 5 - so this is going to be a huge upgrade! Thanks again for putting these videos together. Very helpful. Also, we just moved away from Los Angeles a few months back to upstate New York. Your videos are making me miss California big time man!
I'm thinking about getting our first GoPro camera for our trip to Maui. Still debating between the Hero8 or Hero9. Which one do you think is better for underwater videos? Love your channel! Thanks :D
2:02, paused is what you've been waiting for!
i rewinded that straight away
ok good, not just me then!
Turd clipper
Def worth a look for people that had the 8 early and want the newest stuff, otherwise you nailed it! Anyone on a 5,6,7... this is a no brainer. Great video!!
I'm new to GoPro and I just purchased the hero9. Can anyone tell me if the the folding fingers are the same size as on previous models? Hard to find accessories for the 9 so maybe hero8 accessories will fit? Thanks
I’m buying my first GoPro . For boating and videos with my family. Suggestion on buying 8 or 9 for the money?
Could you also do a osmo action vs the hero 9! THANKS DUDE!!
Your baby's cute! She's always serious in every part of your videos. Haha. More power!
So serious!!! Make her laughs that much more rewarding!😍
@@DavidManningvlog indeed! Like my son also, that's why i'm planning to include him always on my vlog 😂Lol. Big fan of your tutorials all the way from the Philippines. 😊
Did you use nd filter or any filter on your sample footages? Every shot looks good! 👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing review as always!
How is it with an external microphone and external power source?
Upgraded from the hero 8 to the hero 9 just for the front screen and is completely worth it
Yeah if you have that much money
Not worth... more laggy yes.. more big isnt good for outdoor activity
Do you want to go ride in my van? That sounded X-rated.
loll
Hi, for my first gopro should I get 8 or 9 can I get a recommendation please? Thanks in advance .✌🏻
My first/only GoPro is the 3...& yes, I'm still using it...LOL. Just started looking at new GoPros cause I've bought an Origami Paddler (hardshell foldable kayak/paddleboard-in-one) which I will get in March, 2021. Your video has helped me a lot in learning what I've been missing out on & will need to get for my new water adventures. Personally, I thought the video/images taken by the 9 were more washed out than the 8, the colours just looked sharper/truer from the 8 but not sure if that's because the 9 captured the true brightness of the sunshine at the beach or if it was truly washed out. What you are your thoughts on that?
If anyone is watching my analytics, I’d like to explain. My finger slipped and accidentally paused @2:03.
Then again @2:04
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah hubba hubba he got a fine wife
2:02
Wow! truly an awesome camera...I can't wait for the NEW OSMO ACTION 2!!!
SAME!!
Might never come....
@@laneferal6756 I NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE CHINESE!!! OSMO IS COMING!!
@@davidmoov8428 Well, DJI just layed off thousands of employees, so we'll see.
Maybe Osmo Action 2 will have all the features of HERO7 Black this time! 😆
@@JudoSurfer well, it took 2 years for go pro to copy osmo action's front screen. And that go pro 8 display mod, still taking its time. 😆 wonder how many people were scammed by that media mod thinking they had a chance to have a front facing screen 😆
Great video! Picked up an open box Hero 8 a few weeks ago (first GoPro) and have been contemplating returning it for the 9 that's on promo on their website. This helped with that decision!
After discovering your channel I dove face first into the GoPro world with the Hero 8 back in July. I have since accumulated a handful of batteries and loads of accessories. I am glad you suggest that its not a necessary upgrade to the 9 at this point. I think buying new accessories and batteries alone is what will stop me for now. Would love to see a full vlog of a trip or adventure completely on the 9 though!
Just got the 8. Won’t be upgrading till at least the 10 lol.
How's it been working for ya?
Same lol
Same... 9 is bad
Just got mine literally hours ago, nearly charged, so let’s do this ✌🏾
I have the Hero 4 session which I love for the small form..is it worth upgrading and when does the 10 come out?
Same here
Hey there David...I’ve started a new channel focused on my horse, my journey with her, etc. I’m using an iPhone to film... but thinking about GoPro so I can strap to riding helmet...is GoPro 9 the best choice for riding videos??? Thanks!!
I’d rather upgrade my phone this year than upgrade my Hero 8. It’s neat, true, but I’ve used my GoPro so little overall that I don’t see it a good value.
thats smart decision cuz when u dont wana use your go pro just use your phone thats what i do, but i dont see upgrading too a 9 if u got the 8 even the 7 is fine save $ the 8 looks amazing still
I agree I will wait for the 10
@@NickFaulkner yup im still with the go pro 8 and its amazing quality still hopefully the 10 can be good in low light
@@FlyLopez1991 they would need a new sensor. I hope the 10 will be better in low light too. It would make hiking and hypersmooth way better.
@@copywritingbyrazvan249 yup I hope so better low light and atleast 15-20 megapixel or else I’m not buying the 10
