GoPro Hero 8 Display Mod $79.99

$79.99

New product alert I noticed today.

If you have a GoPro 8 you'll know it doesn't have a flippy screen so you can see what you're recording if you have it faced towards you. This adds that ability. I know there's other action cams that offer it but none come close to GoPro 8.

2-inch flip-up screen makes vlogging easy
Built-in rechargeable battery and micro-HDMI connector
Connects to HERO8 Black via the required Media Mod1 (also 79.99)

If you subscribe to GoPro Plus the media mod and display mod are only 55 and the light mod is only 35.

Unnecessary. Wait for 9 instead – rumor says it has a color screen on the front.

Yes, the 9 has a front screen however it is much smaller than the media mod screen. Additionally the 9's front screen will be drawing off of the GoPro's battery. The media mod has its own power supply separate from the GoPro 8.

Interesting fact: you can get a DJI Action for roughly the price of the GoPro Display Mod + the required Media Mod1.

To those who are not familiar with GoPro releases:

They often refresh products around Sep/Oct each year. It's Sep now and they are just dumping inventory as usual. The display mod sale is like the case sale they did last year. We all know that 8 doesn't need a case anymore to be mounted. So does the display mod for 9.

I've used 5, 6 and 8. I'm waiting for 9 as I know it's coming soon in a month or so. I don't understand why you are willing to pay more for an out-dated product (8) + an ugly mod (due to lacking of feature). You can get a better product in a month for the same or less cost.

Well, the 9 is here and it's definitely a better deal. Can't you just wait for 5 days?
