The GoPro Hero 9 is almost here, and it will mark the return of the replaceable lens cover. GoPro axed protective replacement lens cover last year with the Hero 8 Black, but there will be no such issue for this year's model. The GoPro Hero 9 will also have a 23.6 MP camera sensor, a large front colour display and 5K/30 FPS video capabilities, although at the cost of an 11% uplift from the price of the Hero 8 Black.
