New GoPro 9 just came out.

Deal only for this week is $50 off the retail price. Includes 1 year of their subscription unlimited cloud storage, free camera replacement, and 50% off accessories. Also includes a 32gb sd card. This is actually a really good deal considering the camera replacement insurance alone is another $50.

For $50 more they also have a bundle that includes several accessories.

The major changes from the Hero 8 are a front-facing screen (like the DJI), image stabilization now includes horizon stabilization, and it can record up to 5k video (vs. 4k)

I just ordered one and will report back on the real differences.

I had two hero 7 blacks go "bad" on me and was engaged in a 1.5 year fight with them over replacements on and off, only to find out that two out of three Samsung memory cards I bought off of Amazon as FP slick deals were fakes, and actually what caused my cameras to freeze, crash, fail to give me clear files at random. I felt like an idiot. I was so sure it was GoPro's fault.

Amazon gave me refunds for the cards even tho one was over a year old and I threw them in the trash.

Next memory cards I buy will be directly from Best Buy via price matching to Amazon.

That seems to be the best/safest solution.
Just adding two comments.

First, if you are already a gopro subscriber, they give you an additional discount on the camera. I am not, so I couldn't see what the discount actually was.

When you check out, they break out the subscription cost (49.99) separately from the bundle cost and ask you to acknowledge it. At first, I was confused and thought they were adding this to the total cost, but when I checked out, it wasn't added. I did have to pay tax, and 2-day shipping was free.
Glad they brought back the replaceable lens cover. That's the only thing i don't like about the Hero 8.

Now that Hero9 is out, I am hoping to get Osmo Action for about $150
I dont need 5K video but the front screen is a big plus
All action cams are horrible in low light or night time anyway

I'm a subscriber and saw no such additional discount. Still a good deal. Just wish they'd come out with a harness for it for Karma/stabilizer.

I truly feel sorry for those who thought this was a deal and pulled the trigger just 5 days ago:

not worth trading in since it's the same price. Also not sure, but this seems much better than the 7 and 8.
Oh, so the trade-in knocks it down from $450 to $350. Meh.

Does GoPro always charge a ridiculous amount of sales tax? It seems like they are charging the sales tax on the pre-discount price, which is 449.99 (camera) + 49.99 (subscription).

EDIT: I guess the answer is yes, based on a search in the forum. https://community.gopro.com/t5/fo...=sales+tax

Good deal but the sales tax issue is a major turn-off and deal breaker. It just seems greedy to me, since they technically can send just the sales tax on the discounted price to local government and keep the difference.

I went on a trip using GoPro 7 and it was a total disaster. The GoPro froze several times when taking videos. I had to pull the battery out each time to reset and lost the footage. Finally ended up using my phone.

I am hoping they fix this issue with the GoPro9.
I had this issue as well but it was very specific to the memory card. The included memory card was a V30 and authentic 64GB. I bought another card on amazon (128GB) that was probably authentic as well but it wasn't V30. I figured the issue was the gopro was writing faster than the card could keep up with. Switched back to my V30 card and it never froze again.

Is this a limited time sale, and we risk this going up to full price of $450 w/ no subscription sometime soon?

The $100 off coupon was fairly easy to get (no trade-in needed), and I'd expect the same for the 9. This does seem to be a good deal w/ subscription.

The terms and conditions for this deal are interesting:
"In the event that you cancel your subscription before the end of the initial year term but keep your camera, and in so doing, fall below the threshold for eligibility for this offer, we will reduce any applicable refund owed to you by the full retail price of the camera and reserve the right to charge your payment method for any remaining balance owed to GoPro. There is no free trial period and there will be no pro-rated refunds for cancelled subscriptions"

What does it mean when it comes time to renew? You can't cancel subscription before it ends and your subscription will likely auto-renew...so how do you cancel the 2nd year subscription?

I wonder if people did that as they were just frustrated with the gopro 8. Lack of changes and such late release on the media mod. I wanted the front screen but didn't go with dj. Went with the 8 and well. Disappointment. I would hold off to see if they get any of the issues fixed from 7 that carried over to 8.

Sweet thanks for quick reply! Since this has slightly bigger chassis hopefully overheat won't be an issue if record at 4K60 for long period of time.

I would bite if amex offered a deal like last time.

Otherwise sub $150 osmo action for black Friday is my goal price. Or I would get insta360 one R. One R has the ability to edit via app without downloading the vid. Great way to edit videos on the phone and upload directly to google photos.
