I know GoPro is always offering trade in deals, but I could not find a post on here about their current "$100 off a Hero 8 Black with the trade in of any old GoPro", or any digital camera period (so long as was originally worth over $100). This puts the price at $299 before tax, with free 2 day shipping. Says they will ship prior to the October 15th release.

This can be combined with the current Amex offer to get 6000 points or $60 back for spending $300, which effectively gets the price down to around $240 before tax, ymmv. Shipping is free. Do note that if you're not paying tax, you will need to add a filler item to hit the $300 mark, such as a filter for diving or a lanyard, etc.
They are also offering $50 off the Hero 7 Silver or Hero 7 Black, but keep in mind the Silver does not have a replaceable battery and the underwater case only goes to 40M (recreational diving limit).
I'm not recommending you upgrade or whether it is worth it; I wanted to upgrade an old Hero 4 Silver so I could use my Hero 7 Black batteries. The Hero 8 Black batteries are backwards compatible with the Hero 7 Black batteries, although they claim if you use the 7 Black batteries in the 8, you will be locked out of the highest bit rate options.

Not sure how long the GP7/GP8 takes to cool down, but it's sucks when that happens. I also saw that the GP8 uses the same processor as the GP7, so I guess we shouldn't expect any real refinements...
So $300 for a Hero8 Black is going to be as good as it gets. The only difference is avoiding the hassle of a trade in.
This is now working on the hero 8 black (preorder).
Your new gopro wont ship until they receive your trade. Sweet deal for a camera that isnt even released yet.

The fine print:
1Any GoPro or digital camera with an original retail value of at least $99.99 USD (or equivalent value in local currency) is eligible for trade-in.
2Trade-in transactions are final; after you trade in your Eligible Used Device, you cannot get it back.
Terms + Conditions
Applies only to purchases of HERO8 Black or HERO7 Black cameras made on gopro.com and delivered in the United States. Cannot be combined with any other offers, discounts or promo codes, or applied to previous purchases.

Betting this is as good as it gets just like the hero7 never dropped below 300.

However, you will not be able to do Hypersmooth 2.0 in 4K60p. They limit the most power hungry video options with the older batteries. But they still work fine for everything else; it's a total scam. They have the same mwh.

I ordered but I did not received any email from Gopro to confirm my order. How long does it take?
