GoPro HERO9 Black review: this latest action camera sets the bar high
Live MintAction cameras continue to be a niche category, popular mostly among adventure and travel enthusiasts. The wider form factor can be attributed to the new 1.4-inch front-facing colour LCD display, which offers ‘Live Preview’, allowing creators to shoot selfies and ‘velfies’ with a better understanding of their pose and placement within the frame. For navigating through the shooting modes and settings, the camera has another 2.27-inch colour LCD touchscreen on the back. It comes with the upgraded ‘HyperSmooth 3.0’ image stabilization feature, which brings in camera horizon levelling, offering gimbal-level stabilization and smooth video recording even when the user is moving fast. The camera’s pairing with the GoPro app while transferring video files to a smartphone would fail frequently too.
