1 serious question about the GoPro Hero9

foreign i don't know [Music] um [Music] this is a this is a tech review [Music] in today's tech review we'll be looking at the latest and greatest offering from gopro so every year when gopro announces their new camera their latest offering i asked myself one question which is why why gopro should i spend 450 bucks on another gopro when i have my old gopro that still works because these things never die and now i have a cell phone that has a super wide angle lens on it it's sort of kind of waterproof and it takes like an okay enough video image and that that existential question is kind of all i care about and all i'm going to focus on in this review [Applause] this is a six thousand dollar camera rig this is the new 450 dollar gopro hero9 6000 450. the front-facing screen gopro it's about time the the girth is bigger definitely like taller and fatter and wider and it's heavier there's this like fetish with especially like cell phones and and small cameras as well to get them as small as possible in fact remember when gopro launched that this like tiny gopro called the gopro session and it was so small in the commercial for it a guy had it in his mouth and you could see out of his mouth while the dentist was like working on his teeth but you had to sacrifice everything like the the battery didn't last long didn't have any buttons on it there's no interface i don't need to film myself at the dentist this new gopro which is bigger i can still attach to a helicopter blade i can still put on my surfboard i can still attach my bike or my truck or whatever i want to do it's small enough but what you get in return for that increase in size which is negligible is you get like a much bigger battery you get a proper proper front-facing screen that lets you frame your shots and it makes it easier for vlogging and when you attach it to something you can actually see what you're shooting it's like small enough is totally good enough i don't need them to be tiny and about gopro's biggest competitors they make a good product but after using the nine for like a week and a half you realize gopros learned a lot in nine generations of making this camera um and that's particularly embodied in in this new device so when uh tech companies launch a new product they typically have like launch events last year's for example gopro's launch event was at a water park it's like you could test out the product and stuff but it was also like a fun day at a water park but we're in the midst of a global pandemic so like can't have any fun events so what do they do [Music] the gopro dune buggy come on now the assumption here is that the uh remote control car is to test out the image stabilization on this camera but i think you know gopro's smart and i think they know that tech reviewers like me we're just all big nerds and we're total suckers for remote control dune buggies nice one gopro [Music] all right so uh trying to pay attention how good the stabilization is i'm not doing any any stabilizing in post here everything you see is in camera [Applause] [Music] okay oh [Applause] i put so much effort into my videos and the cinematography and all that and you do like five million views a video it's just you sitting and talking to camera do you even even own a gopro what is that thing stand up so did they do it in a world where there's like a lot of good enough options do you need the best if this wide angle lens video camera on my cell phone is a cheeseburger do you need the steak if the old uh honda civic works uh works well enough to get you tuned from where you need to go do you need a lambo yes gopro made the best camera they've ever made i didn't get into the fact that it has interchangeable lenses it's incredible it's it's perfect in every way but whether or not you need to shell out the 450 bucks to get it is entirely up to whether or not there's a marketplace for excellent when the world is saturated with with good enough [Music] that's a remote-controlled car you want to play with it [Music] you

Bro the amount of shots taken in truck scene by a single person is outstanding

Trailer trash Casey is much more relatable than hipster casey

Casey makes cutting his hair look so simple

Feel inspired to try it myself with barbers being closed

GoPro has been releasing the same camera for like 5 years.

Looks like Casey switched over to Sony for good. Can't really tell if the new camera is a Sony A6600 or not, but considering that's the Canon 90D's competitor I wouldn't doubt.

​

Edit: Looks like its the new Sony Alpha a7S III dunno why I thought it was the A6600

What happened to the 2 model X and model 3? Now they have a pick up and a bmw?

I love that old Tacoma he cruises around in.

Haven’t watched it yet. Super excited about this one. So far it looks like the video he made fixing the cannon camera with the small wood tab.

Edit: nvm just a tech review. Still interesting.

Why does he not customise his glasses any more ?
