December 4, 20201831 Views

After the unboxing video for GoPro Hero 9 Black (see the link below), as promised, we are back with the first hands-on experience of Hero 9. Putting this camera to some tough task, I have taken it for rafting on Ganges. Task was to test on many things. The picture and colour quality of the video, stabilisation as promised by the Hyper Smooth 3.0 function and its sturdiness. Colours are amazing, images are sharp. Camera took a heavy splash of water a number of times and well, it was fun every time. Results are here for all to so, also look the smoothness of the video even when the raft is riding on unsettling waves or even dropping in a gorge! Robust camera comes out a winner every time. https://youtu.be/uerbDEg7sOc See the unboxing video of GoPro Hero 9 Black: : https://youtu.be/t...

There are actually several floating markets around Bangkok open all day, including a small but very nice one just 12km from S...
