- WinFuture shared what it claims are pictures of the upcoming GoPro Hero 9 Black.
- New to this model is a front color display that is ideal for vlogging.
- It could also have a new mounting mechanism.
GoPro could soon expand the focus of its cameras beyond their traditional focus on capturing sports and other hectic activities. WinFuture has officially shared looking pictures of the GoPro Hero 9 Black. If you've used a GoPro in the past, you'll immediately notice what is different about the camera shown here. It has a front-facing color display instead of the typical monochrome screen found on previous GoPro models.
Compared to the attempts to develop dual-screen telephones, integrating a secondary color display into a GoPro camera makes a lot of sense. While we don't know the exact functions of the screen, it can likely display footage as you record it. Some people are already using their GoPro as a vlogging camera. This feature would make it even more suitable for this type of use.
According to WinFuture GoPro will update the camera sometime after launch to add support for 5K video recording. The website states that the camera also has fold-out mounting arms that allow you to attach it to mounts without putting it in a pocket.
Other than these details, the website didn't have much other information to share. For example, we don't know when GoPro will release the Hero 9 Black and how much it will cost when it comes out at some point.
In the past, GoPro has typically detailed its new Hero cameras either in late summer or early fall. If the company sticks to its usual schedule, it could announce the Hero 9 Black in the next few weeks.
