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.

I got my camera. Footage is great. Anyone know how the sub applies to your gopro account? Mine unfortunately just charged me last week but I don't see any extension until Oct 2021

If any one is curious, here are the reasons I ended up moving from the 8 to the 9
I too upgraded from the 8 to the 9 and totally agree. I've also noticed a few other things:
  • The battery door locking mechanism is now spring loaded. Doesn't seem to make much of a difference though as it requires the same amount of effort to close as the Hero 8.
  • The GoPro smart remote does not work anymore. It was supposely supported in the firmware that came with the Hero 9 but they took it out after the latest update. Here is a link [gopro.com] to the thread discussing this.
  • With the new battery, they also released a new dual battery charger. Its smaller now, as the slots for the battery are no longer full height and the battery sticks out. The batteries are easier to remove since you don't need to use the small pull tab.
  • The Desktop apps are EOL'ed and do not support the Hero 9. Its the app only now.

Funny you mention that -- I've also encountered faulty Samsung micro SD cards. 3/5 that I bought in the past either didn't work (to its full capacity) out of the box, or it eventually stopped working after a short amount of time. I would constantly lose drone footage to them. I only buy Sandisk Extreme Pro 64 GB MICROSD now.

If you have a problem with GoPro, then please be prepared to have a lot of patience.

I had one GoPro 8 order that the shipper shows undelivered. They still fought tooth and nail before sending a replacement.

I'm thinking about getting this to upgrade from my Hero 7 Black for an upcoming trip. How long is it taking you guys to receive this from date of order?
