Lengend says he will *pin this comment* written by a huge fan.
Persistency will get you everywhere in this life my friend!
Who is lengend? 😂
Legend says David giveaways his old Gopro to someone who ask fr it.
I want the GoPro giveaway 🤣
Funny thing is that u can't edit the comment or u loss the pin
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
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!
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.
Finally.... my Sunday has been waiting for this! Thank you. Your videos are super helpful.
5k is good for stabilisation and the horizen levelling is impressive I wish phones would incorporate that tech
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.
Was waiting for this one! Really looking forward to a Osmo Action comparison!! Awesome vid man!
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
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
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
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 😬
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
11:13 but the audio from the hero9 still sounds better after the water dunk test!
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...
I only had options up to 1080 on the video? How am I supposed to know what 4k looks like?
"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
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?
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?
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.
It’s nice to see the Carlsbad sign on video. I live there.
Si tenes la 8 no creo que sea importante cambiar a la 9. Si tenés 5,6 o 7 si. Gracias David
And what mounts are there to quickly go from, say, a secure windscreen mount to either a hand held mount or a tripod?
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:
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.
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.
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!
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.
Awesome vid! I think I’m gonna upgrade from hero 7 silver to the hero 9 black!
🤔Morgan does know not to get into vans with strangers, right? 😂🤣
Great video man.
Haha yeah I thought the same to lol
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!
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?
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.
I was waiting for this!!
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.
Great overview. As I have said, you talk to all levels of expertise and make it easy to follow. Likely still upgrade from 8 to 9 as the resell value of 8 will almost cover the deal cost of the 9 if you can catch the deal.
Enjoying mine this weekend. Definitely worth it.
Awesome.... been looking forward to thus one 🤟
Great comparison video David, love the pre-record feature especially. Wished they's have included a proper MIC input though like the 4.
this is by far the best review I've seen on this. that 15 sec hindsight rec!! total game changer!! you sold me.
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 😅
The sound was better on the 9 after immersion in water, definitely
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!
hey david could you please tell me with what settings did you upload the gopro footage on youtube?
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 th-cam.com/video/ffcdUYleVDA/w-d-xo.html
Ordered one today. Also I'm coming from a hero3
Just bought a hero 8 a few weeks ago and stumbled upon your channel-This is quality content Mr. Manning🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Can u do a video on the sony a6000 line of cameras??
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
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!!
New to ur channel! Great video my dude keep it coming 💯
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
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 :)
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.
How are we gonna see the difference between 5k and 4k when the clip on youtube is at only 1080p?
Over all, very good comparison and a job well done. Thank you for furthering my knowledge on the two cameras. I did hear a difference in the water test, and I'm wondering if it would have been even more of a difference if you reversed the order and let us listen to the 8 first. It had an unfair advantage of a few seconds to drain water. Second, I think when comparing videos it would be better to stack them on top of each other rather than side to side. If you have a bright left side of pic or vid and darker right side, it makes it harder to see the slight nuances. Maybe a landscape shot with bright sky and darker "land" would be good to do side by side....?
I need that horizontal leveling!! When is the max lens coming out?
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?
These videos have been great! I would love to see a video with the SnapMount and Hero9 on a motorcycle.
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!
*Has 658 camera mounts, and 1 car seat!*
FOR REAL!!! I'm changing that asap!
Love your review my friend. I got my hero 9 the other day. Love the front screen when doing vlogging and changeable lens. Stay safe and regards from Australia.. 🧡👍
Idk how ur channel hasnt blown up yet been watching since 1k subs, best EVER
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.
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 :(
Nice! How did you color grade the still photo example?
How’s the indoor straight out of the camera looking like?
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.
Can we use the same mic adapter?
Just got my 9 today! I’m coming from the 7 black and it already seems like a massive improvement in quality. The one thing that threw me off from a surfing perspective though, was I wasn’t anticipating the change in dynamics as far as a back float. Before you could just throw a sticky float on the back case. I guess with this (and maybe the 8) though, it has to be an embodying style float. Delayed my usual setup for a few days until I figure that out but I’m stoked!
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.
Just got mine literally hours ago, nearly charged, so let’s do this ✌🏾
Thanks for the review/recommendation. I was able to purchase the display mod for my Hero 8, so that also defeats needing the front screen on the 9.
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?
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.
2:02, paused is what you've been waiting for!
i rewinded that straight away
ok good, not just me then!
Turd clipper
hey David! what would it be like on the motorbike with the horizon feature thing turned on??
What about the glitching and freezing and lost vids all the time on these gopros since the 5 series?
My H7B started freaking out and stabilization would go nuts and wreck vids, then sometimes the audio would continue to record while the picture would freeze- until the battery died! It would do that all day without warning. Then it would sometimes overheat and quit recording without any warning or beeps, resulting in lost videos.
I Returned it to gopro and got a refurb for a replacement to me brand new glitchy cam and replacement worked for a while then after a few month did the exact same things as my first H7B.
I need to send H7B back to gorp so got a H9B in hopes these issues have been fixed with better heat management and bigger batteries that don't get so hot maybe. But these issues are common and it is a giant oversight in a review to not mention these massive problems with reliability that the past few generations of gopros have had.
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. 😊
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
I dont have a GoPro, I am looking for something to mount to my motorcycle helmet to record rides, suggestions? is the 9 worth it or is there another model better suited for my use ..
Great video. I was thinking about upgrading but was hesitant due to just purchasing the Media and Display Mod's. After watching your very informative video I will wait for the next version. Thanks
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
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
How close up does it film? Is it any closer than the 8?
Can you run the camera while charging on a battery pack. Or do you have to have multiple batteries?
Do you want to go ride in my van? That sounded X-rated.
loll
Could you also do a osmo action vs the hero 9! THANKS DUDE!!
Thanks man just waht I've been looking for👍🏻
My last GoPro is 3+ and I just ordered this couple of days ago. Can’t wait! Great video👍🏼
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!
I want to ask you about the hero 8 I've a problem idk if it's just me but my hero 8 turns on just by itself is there's something to fix it?
Came here to look at a bikini, now I gotta buy a Hero 9. Great video!
I just upgraded my 8 to the 9, but figured I'd check out a review anyway...This was the first video I clicked on and then was shocked to see you driving through SEH. Hello neighbor. ;)
i also got the 8 but dont see worth upgrading maybe the 10 or 11, do u see any big difference cuz low light all go pro suck
Hey dude, fellow San Diegan here! Love your videos, just discovered you. Keep up the rad work!
Very detailed comparison. Thanks for the great review!
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
