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.

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.

yes, since I was still in the free trial period of the subscribe deal I didn't lose anything, but the remaining 2 weeks of my free trial.
OK I have a monthly account, I may try to delete and see if I can get the year included now. I can't seem to checkout since it says I have an active subscription to plus, I canceled it but that doesnt seem to matter, I have 11 days left in the billing cycle and they don't cancel or prorate. I just dont know if it will matter even if I delete the account...

They charged me separately for the subscription $350 plus tax plus $55 for the subscription. Anyone else had the same problem?

I include $100 of accessories that I bought for 50 or less. Got amazing deal on gopro last year with AMEX Offer, etc. I sold that and accessories for literally more than I had paid. LOL
I also sold my gopro hero 8 that i got with amex offer last yr. But I am slightly disappointed in the hero 9. A lot of the new feature like horizon lock on the hero 9 was available in app on the hero 8. Hero 8 also got 4k30 hypersmooth boost from gopro labs. I was hoping it had less cropping but it looks the same? From side to side comparison on youtube, the 5k footage didn't look that different from 4k on the hero 8. I think i need to see the original file and not the compressed one on youtube. The max lens attachment is limited to 2.7k only.

I think I actually prefer the max with the reframed upscale 4k, 360, spatial audio. I wish the hero mode 1440p can be upscaled but at least it has max superview + max hypersmooth and these footages can be combined with the reframed footages. One annoying con is the limited software so 3rd party free software needs to be used. Personally i think the footages are better than insta360 360 module. However the max footage is darker than hero 8 footages.

Oh no. It seems I ordered the bundle and they have separated out the subscription as an added line item...

No additional discount for current GoPro Plus subscriber. Once you login in during checkout they remove the subscription and change the price of the camera from $300 to $350.

This sucks for us who are already subscribed but hey I'll just hold on to my Hero 8 for now.

Did you try to delete the account you have and checkout then?

That would risk loosing all my content uploaded to GoPro, so no. Also I already paid for the year, renewal 5/2021.

Completely understand, I've only had it for 1 year so I can download my content and re-upload.
