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.

https://gopro.com/en/us/shop/came...aster.html

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.

Math checks out. Cheers

But you're right, I completely forgot that all my chargers for the H4 will not work. I think I'll be pretty set with 2 batteries and a charger for $385 for the time being, and *hopefully* the aftermarket/third party is able to crack it and make decent batteries for the H9. I doubt it, but one can hope.
At $20 each for the batteries ($14 with this discount), I'm ok with buying OEM rather than risking it on cheaper alternatives.

That is, if you are spending $50 and getting free shipping. Otherwise $10 shipping kills the deal.


Oh, here's details on accessory discounts:
https://community.gopro.com/t5/en...a-p/436397

This says
  • 30% off batteries + chargers (though it doesn't list the HERO9 variants)
  • 50% off mounts including The Handler, Magnetic Swivel Clip, etc.
  • 30% off some other mounts
  • 30% off mods
  • 30% or 50% off bags and cases
  • 30% or 50% off other accessories

"Limited to a maximum of 10 items per subscription anniversary year."

If the The Handler and Magnetic Swivel Clip are 50% off, then it definitely doesn't make sense to buy the bundle.

Do NOT make the mistake of getting the bundle like I did. If you get the camera + subcription it will come out about $10 cheaper if you order the bundle items separate (assuming you want all bundle items).

Tried calling to change my order but it had shipped and turned into a hassle.

A bit dishonest offer/bundle if you ask me.

When I'm browsing the accessories, most of the GoPro-branded ones say
SAVE 30% WHEN YOU SUBSCRIBE TO GOPRO
but the "Casey" cases do not.

Ooh, The Handler [gopro.com] grip does not say that. It says BEST SELLER instead. The Suction Cup [gopro.com] and Magnetic Swivel Clip [gopro.com]
don't say it either. Hmm.. we'll need a subscriber to confirm what items are discounted.

Everything is discounted, at least it was/is for Hero8. Theres a FAQ section with the list, look it up. Media mod and such are only 30% off IIRC. Battery for instance came down to 13$ a pop, IIRC. Dunno if the discounts changed for Hero9.

Was super hyped when I first saw the advertisement videos. Bought myself a GoPro 4 black and used it once on a ski trip. Let's just say my videos were not as interesting to watch as the pros. It's been sitting in a bag collecting dust evervsince

Same here. Totally disappointed with Hero8. Unless you feed bright sunshine into the camera, videos are bleh and meh combined. As for the pro videos you see on Youtube, I bet theres a ton of postprocessing going on there, from color grading, even more stabilization, more sharpness, in other words you have to have a decent computer and a fair bit of time to get that kind of quality. And not to mention the interesting factor. Different angles and such take a lot of time to set up etc. As I said, if its full sunshine and not a cloud in sight, video quality isacceptable and more than decent.

While here, do Heros support external monitors of any kind? Its a hassle to press record and then wait to see whether videos are any good. Wireless to mobile preview kinda sucks, so was wondering if theres a way to hook up an external monitor to a Gopro.

I have always been impressed with my Hero 3, 4 and 5. But, I will say that I had a few vacation videos that did come out better on the 4 then the 5. Upper canopy (mid lighting with reflections, etc), but the other videos have been really good. Including snorkling, beach, and diving.

My only concern with diving is that I made the mistake of trying to stop the movie mid-capture at 40' or so feet. I did go down to 60' and the camera had no issues with water. I could not engage the button until at around 18' under sea level. I missed recording sharks, mantas, turtles, and a ton of other life.

I would be curious if others had similar experiences on how the hero7/8 worked at depth knowing that 33' is supposed to be the limit.

Ordered! I was sad I kept not pulling the trigger on the HERO 8 Costco bundle but I really like the feature changes in this one and the price isn't too bad.
