GoPro Hero 9

A group of baby foxes found recording GoPro and decided to have a play with it

There’s not much cuter than baby animals and especially inquisitive baby animals. Viktor Čech placed his GoPro Hero 9 Black down on the ground in a part of the local wilderness in Turiec, Slovakia to see what it could spot and got quite the surprise when he went back to retrieve it and found that it had moved from where he placed it. Not only did it move, though, but it also captured who moved it.

Viktor tells DIYP that he was shooting a vlog about foxes and had set up the GoPro using the firmware from GoPro Labs. This enabled him to utilise the motion detection feature. This meant he could place his camera down on the ground and it would start recording only when it sensed movement. About 15 minutes after sunset one day, it spotted a group of baby foxes and began to record.

I use the GoPro Hero cameras all the time for my video productions, but not for action. I like the tiny Hero’s for moving car shots, street walking and just general situations where a little camera can be placed in out of the way places to pick up my shot.

So when the Hero 10 arrived for review, with an emphasis on improved stabilization and power, I knew who to call to help me do a 10 vs. 9 shootout.

According to recently leaked images, GoPro is about to get a big change in the Hero 9 model. It looks like the latest action cam will have a selfie screen in full color. In other words, the front display will no longer only show your camera settings, but it might come in handy for vloggers and selfie-takers, too.
