Written review coming up shortly!

Note: None of this is sponsored by GoPro, and I don't keep the camera they sent me. It's simply a media loaner unit (well, two units), which will go back shortly to them and I'll go out and buy my own through normal retail channels. If you use the Amazon link up above to buy anything on Amazon, it helps support the channel (even if that's a DJI OSMO Action instead).

This is probably the clearest, most useful, no-nonsense review I've seen on YouTube (and I have seen many. Keep up the great work!

By far the most efficient 15 minute review video. Thank you. I cant stand when a 15 minute video could have been 5 minutes. This was perfect.

Mate - I love how much effort and enthusiasm you put into these videos. i defo don't need to watch any other Gopro 9 videoes now, you've explained it all, thanks! Made me chuckle when you tested the microphone water drainage by actually getting into a lake with a swimming cap on haha! What a guy!

[I_Am_Griff]

dude, you did a phenomenal job at this review, i really appreciate all the points you covered and how incredibly thorough you were with comparisons and various tests, i can see this took multiple different days and locations to capture- GoPro should PAY you for this review man. again, thank you so much, youre awesome bro!!

Haven't had a GoPro in a long time, and originally planned to buy the 8 this year, but.. wasn't totally sold on it. Glad I waited for the 9. Ordered it yesterday on launch during my lunch break, and couldn't be more excited.

I like that they brought back removable lens and gave it a front facing screen.... brilliant job GoPro 👌🏼 and thanks DC

You are one of the greatest reviewers of my favorite tech. Your subtle comedy and realness makes this hella fun to watch. Keep it up.

[CanyonWanderer]

Your 'no nonsense, tell it like it is' reviews are still the best, thanks so much once again!

Audio drain is EXACTLY what I was looking for so it's funny that you said its minor cause to me this was one of the most important questions I had!!!! So glad you covered that!

Seems like a worthy update to the 8. Love your reviews. Can you turn the front screen off while recording?

[vmanias]

You have become one of my favorite reviewers.
Keep up the good work.
