- - Delivery - -The delivery was a bit pants. From my understanding, Amazon deliver it to a secondary delivery company and when they plan on delivering it to you, they ‘scan it out’ which sends a notification to Amazon who in turn send you a code for confirmation on delivery. Unfortunately it took 3 attempts and 1 of them they forgot to scan it out so we never had a code. Amazon compensated me with a voucher which was nice of them.- - Storage- -We are using a 128gb micro card which we’ve noticed is a bit temperamental. The card itself is fine but the amount of space the GoPro says it has is inaccurate. I was playing with the camera and deleted all media but the amount of storage space kept going down. This changes with a fresh battery which doesn’t make sense.- -Battery - -You get approx 80 minutes of recording time per battery. It goes down quite quickly when turning it off and on in between films.- - Features - -Time lapse is a dream. It speeds everything up and all you have to do is record. It’s a feature you can experiment with.Photos work well. Not as good as a DSLR but still reasonable quality.The video quality is utterly brilliant. The stabiliser makes it professional movie quality; It’s better than I expected. The sound is very clear too. There are options to change the wide lens from almost fish eye to standard kit lens. The front screen is useful for framing and a great addition.It’s not the easiest to navigate and I am used to DSLR cameras and manual settings. The screen is a bit small or temperamental for my fingers. It’s probably my only real criticism of the screen.

Great camera, great for action etc. Used on bikes/various other uses. Always produced high quality video and stable. It does get hot though and it eats the batteries - check out the endurance range of batteries if you need more juice (they are made by go pro - not sure why they don't just include these anyway). Super easy to set up but you do need a smart phone as it uses the go pro app. You don't need to upload vids to the cloud either. All in all, as I said - the best go pro so far (2023).

I got this so i could record my daily commute to work and maybe start creating youtube vids again. The camera is easy to use and has an app which allows you to transfer files wirelessly. Its also water proof from the get go so no need for cases to make it more bulky. The picture quality is decent and sound is okay its what youd expect from a Go pro product. My only problem is every time i remove the battery its then asking for the time to be set again which on a tiny screen can be fiddly. Only reason i take battery out is i found leaving it in drains the battery when the camera is turned off. Im guessing thats because its not really off as a quick press of the shoot button and camera turns straight on and starts recording. Apart from that little annoying thing i find this camera to be a great addition to my daily ride and has helped me capture some decent footage and will definitely come in handy in the case of an accident.

I don't recommend Hero 9. Wired transfer didn't work on mine, nor did voice control fully (but OK, perhaps it was just my unit / faulty). But in general Hero 9 is slow/ laggy and touch screen isn't responsive. Would recommend to buy faster cameras. Perhaps Hero 10 and higher will be better. Battery life isn't great on 9 either. Picture and video quality and stabilization is great is daylight, but terrible at night. I would expect great results at night for such an expensive camera and brand.

We recorded our wedding on this and it performed well picture and sound quality wise, it focused well on the forground as the background, but the battery life wasn't as good as I'd have expected and for some reason gopro has a frustrating way of storing your videos in 15minute intervals, which you then have to piece together in an additional editing app or software after, so if your recording for 30 minutes, it's spit into 2 seperate videos and as far as i've learnt, theres no way to alter this.
