GoPro HERO (2018) $199 @ JB Hi-Fi

2170

Good deal for the GoPro Hero at JB. This looks to be the same model that can be "hacked" to a GoPro Hero 5 Black as per reddit link previously mentioned in a deal posted by Jimmy007

Update: Also same price at Amazon thanks mini2 for those with the Amex offer/Cashrewards/Shopback.

      Bought one from HN for $194 today and turned it into Gopro Hero 5 using info in https://www.reddit.com/r/goprohack/comments/8wpe49/gopro_her….

      Steps:
      1. Download zip file from the link in reddit link I supplied above
      2. Create folder "UPDATE" in microsd card (capital letter)
      3. Move the 4 unzipped files to this folder in your microsd card
      4. insert the microsd card to GoPro and turn it on
      5. Gopro will auto update to new firmware in approx 5 mins
      6. enjoy

      • I have bought 2 micro SD cards. One Sandisk and other Patriot. Both have come write protected and I cannot format or copy anything on them.
        I have tried to toggle the lock adaptor a million times, tried to format using Diskpart as well.
        Not sure what else to do.

        Any thoughts Ozbfamily?

        • Microsd with a lock? I didnt even think that was possible.

        • Did you get this sorted out?
          I'd guess that the 'lock detector' on your card reader is bent - I've had something like this happen to one of mine once upon a time.

      • My question with this hack, is what happens if GoPro release new firmware for the Hero 5 Black. Will it update OK on the Hero 2018 or do you have to avoid any FW updates from now on?
