KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 — The GoPro Hero 9 Black has just been launched, along with a couple of significant upgrades over its predecessor: 5K video recording, a front-facing display, and a new HyperSmooth 3.0 stabilisation feature. And, as it turns out, we have some good news for our Malaysian readers.

The GoPro Hero 9 Black is now available in Malaysia! While the official GoPro site lists the new action camera as "out of stock”, we’ve spotted an event announcement on GoPro Malaysia’s Facebook page — with full pricing details, as well as a couple of freebies for early bird buyers.

As such, the GoPro Hero 9 Black is now available for purchase at selected authorised retailers throughout Malaysia. However, GoPro’s subscription-based discount is not available here. Full details are as follows:

Additionally, the first 400 customers will be able to redeem a Hero 9 Black rechargeable battery (supposedly improved by 30 per cent) for free, or have a chance at weekly prizes worth up to RM1,000.
