The GoPro Hero7 is a great camera for underwater video, but compared to the Hero9.....it just doesn't have the quality. The Hero9 is also struggling with some bugs. The camera will lock up at times, and the touch screen isn't the most responsive. If your Hero9 locks up underwater, press and hold both buttons until the camera shuts down.

What a great review. I've been using a mix of an RX100v and a hero 5 + 7, struggle a bit with all of them (The Sony is a real pain in terms of white balance and the GoPro's tend to flare and distort at the edges). I think it's time to give the Hero 10 a bash... and... OMG... I didn't realise you could use QR codes! The use of them underwater is so clever... Well done!

Love the great use of GoPro Labs with that underwater camera control card.

[@OceansUnknownwithToddKortte]

Thank you. Not many people know about the GoPro Labs yet. Last year it was only for the Hero8. Just this last 4 months it has finally expanded. The QR code reader function is a game changer option. Really cool options and potential. I would be surprised if this does not become a standard addition to the regular firmware. Right now you need to manually install the firmware. Real simple to do, but would be more convenient in the normal updates.

I’m so excited about the QR codes and the GoPro dive trip! Boiler was the PERFECT site to show the distortion, wow

[@OceansUnknownwithToddKortte]

Rebecca are you going on the Belize GoPro workshop trip? How is your macro? I was testing out my Backscatter macro lens on the Hero9 yesterday. The focus range is UNBELIEVABLE! About 2 inches to about 8 inches from the lens! In previous cameras it's 3-5 inches.

[@rebeccadarling5894]

I’m almost certainly going… it wouldn’t be a question except that I just did that exact trip a couple weeks ago!? I’m sure I’ll go. I haven’t shot macro yet with the 9, when I bought it I don’t think the new flip was out yet so thanks for the reminder.

[@OceansUnknownwithToddKortte]

Oh you just did Belize....did you go on a liveaboard in Belize... or were you land based? I hope you can make it. Be nice to have you on that trip. You have good instinct.

[@rebeccadarling5894]

I did Belize Aggressor IV, this will definitely be a repeat 🤣 Thank you and yes I know it will be a blast!

[@OceansUnknownwithToddKortte]

OMG yeah its the exact same boat. Wow, what are the odds of that happening?

[@marshallbreite4647]

Thanks for the video. Have you made QR cards for the Hero 10 yet?

[@OceansUnknownwithToddKortte]

The GoPro QR codes can be found at my new website viralhog.com/v?t=ffchfn9t8l

[@estaher8295]

[@OceansUnknownwithToddKortte]

Yes works for the Hero11. Let me know if you have any questions. You can find the codes at oceansunknown.com/
