OnePlus took its new camera to new extremes, starting with skydiving

A premium smartphone is nothing without a great camera. It’s easy to talk about the different sensors and lenses every time a new device hits the market. You can even show off a deluge of sample photos and videos. However, OnePlus goes a step further to show you just how far the OnePlus 9 camera can go.

We’ve talked endlessly about the OnePlus and Hasselblad partnership, but now you can see how you can put it to good use. You’ll find a top-notch ultra-wide camera and superb 8K video quality, and now it’s time to leave the field behind.

The sky is the limit

OnePlus continues to find new ways to showcase the OnePlus 9 series camera and is now launching an “Extreme Captures” series. Essentially, it puts the latest flagship camera through a series of intense scenarios to show you how to capture your adventures.

First on OnePlus’ list of daring exploits is skydiving. For years you would have needed a GoPro or other premium action camera to capture your highs, but those days are a thing of the past. The OnePlus 9 Pro records razor-sharp 4K videos at 120 frames per second and looks even better in slow motion. Did we mention the video was taken in a free fall from 3,000 feet?

It’s okay if you’re not too fond of heights because the OnePlus 9 Pro is also a great drone companion. Even if the drone is not always stable, the camera can record an impressively smooth video thanks to OnePlus’ Super Stable mode. This makes it even easier to keep an eye on the sky, even when your feet are firmly on the ground.

There are even bigger adventures to come

If you fancy your own chance to put the OnePlus 9 series through its paces, OnePlus is giving away Adventure kits to help you get started. It has worked with Armor X to provide handy mounting accessories for almost any scenario. Think of the impressive system of GoPro accessories, but scale it up to fit your phone perfectly.

Skydiving is of course only the first stop in the OnePlus Extreme Captures series. We can still look forward to surfing in Hawaii and a trip to Alaska with a marine biologist. The best way to keep up with all the action is to follow @OnePlus_USA on Instagram. So you can find out where OnePlus is for even more extreme adventures and try your luck in an exclusive competition.

If you are ready to go on your own adventures with the OnePlus 9 series, T-Mobile is the place for you. Right now you can save 50% on a OnePlus 9 by adding a new line. The OnePlus Pro is also priced at $ 375 in case you need extra power.
