Vlogger review:
Ambassador PR from Mic Bergsma:
Strange rectangle on the side:
Drain Microphone (Designed to drain water.) This is not a door/latch. Do not try to open.
New media mod has an improved dead cat. USD 80.
MAX Lens Mod, USD 100. Basically turns your cam into a half spherical camera. Well almost. 155 degree.
Some sort of twist on lens add on gives even wider field of view.
EDIT: I guess this makes the lens field of view more like the lens on the MAX.
horizon locked footage and unbreakable stabilization? Get Max Lens Mod
Do they now sell their stabilization as extra special code you need to buy?
PR:
HERO9 Black sports a beastly 23.6MP sensor for 5K video and 20MP photos. Add a new front display, a rear touch screen with touch zoom, 30% more battery life[1] and HyperSmooth 3.0 and you get more of everything you love.
Shoot stunning video with up to 5K resolution, perfect for maintaining serious detail even when zooming in. Packing a new 23.6MP sensor that’s an absolute powerhouse, HERO9 Black brings lifelike image sharpness, fluid motion and in-camera horizon leveling.
Capture crisp, pro-quality photos with 20MP clarity. And with SuperPhoto, HERO9 Black can automatically pick all the best image processing for you, so it’s super easy to nail the shot.
With HERO9 Black mods, you’ve got options. Want a lens that gives you horizon locked footage and unbreakable stabilization? Get Max Lens Mod. Want to illuminate your subject? Light Mod is for you. Want mics and even more connect it to the Media Mod.
No more carrying a separate frame. Just flip out the folding fingers, attach your camera to any mount and go.
A new, larger rear touch screen with touch zoom on HERO9 Black should feel instantly familiar and a dazzling new front display makes for easy framing and intuitive camera control.
30% longer battery life is here thanks to a larger 1720mAh battery. This lets you shoot more without having to swap out batteries and packs enough juice to power your camera through the cold.
Experience ultimate smoothness with our most advanced video stabilization ever. HyperSmooth 3.0 enables in-camera horizon leveling and boost in all settings.
Record mesmerizing time lapse scenes as you move on the road, on foot or anywhere else. TimeWarp 3.0 condenses time, capturing moments like nothing else. Speed Ramp is a new capability that lets you select Real Speed (now with audio) or Half Speed.
Be a smooth operator. With a touch screen, it’s easy to control your camera. Or frame up your shot, play back footage and snap a selfie in HERO mode.
It's more like a flood now than a leak.
The rectangle under the side door remains a mysterie.

I guess it was inevitable that size increased with the new battery but this seems much bigger than before.
Early launch this year.
September 16. Tag lines - "More resolution". "More everything".

So they will sell it as a upmarket device yet again. Currently the Osmo Action is 379 euro direct from DJI. With a 5 per cent discount if you subscibe to news from DJI.
Main LSI development is common issue in all industry.
We already saw fall of Olympus due to this reason mostly, next we'll see total fall of Ricog/Pentax.
Also lot of smaller players (ala famous Z-CAM) will be dead after current stock of HiSIlicone chips will be gone.
