The GoPro 9 has just been announced! The price has gone up compared to the GoPro Hero8 Black, but they now have a deal where it's cheaper if you get it with a 12-month GoPro subscription. I guess they're hoping to get you hooked and continue the $99/year subscription. You can cancel the subscription before the next billing period without any penalty - don't forget to set a reminder to do so! You can cancel it immediately but then you'll lose out on the features.

The 3.5% cashback at CashRewards should work. I'm not sure if they count GST in the cashback, but if they don't, and it's approved, that'll bring the price down to $542.13.

Note: Don't bother getting the $659.95 bundle (GoPro + spare batt + handle + clip). If you add all those items to your cart individually, it'll be $620.85 as the GoPro subscription comes with a discount on accessories. The discount will be reflected in your cart once you add the $559.95 camera to your cart.

Their new pricing strategy is interesting. So far it doesn't look like any of the other retailers are offering this free subscription offer, they only list the camera alone for $699. This deal is basically 20% off the retail price, plus a year's free GoPro subscription. That's not going to make retailers happy! The offer will continue until GoPro decides to terminate it at its discretion.

Compared to the GoPro Hero8 Black, the 9 has:
- A front screen (note that it's ~5fps in 4K mode)
- Larger rear screen
- 5K30 video
- 20MP photos
- Much longer battery life from a new larger battery
- Better cold weather performance
- The replaceable front lens protector is back
- Even better image stabilisation, in every resolution
- In-camera auto-levelling horizon
- Can livestream to more destinations, including custom RTMP
- Scheduled capture - set it to switch on and start recording a timelapse at e.g. 5.30am
- Hindsight mode (save the previous 15/30 seconds)
- Max SV Mod (looks like an ultrawide lens attachment)
- Comes with a nice carry case now

The subscription gives you:
- Unlimited cloud storage for your GoPro footage
- Up to 50% off on accessories on gopro.com
- Swap your camera for any reason for $149

Here's a review.

            @Oauiii: My bad. On this receipt it doesn't show the gopro subscription. But on my credit card it showed up. They took it out of the gopro price on this receipt.

  I ordered mine on the day they released it and apparently it's still delayed in transit in Singapore

    I just managed to check and mine as well.
    I tried using the 'order status' page on their website, but that just didn't work for me in Chrome.
    I tried on Edge and it works, and Singapore it is…

  I bought the gopro and it's transit but was looking to get the dual charger and battery set but it was out of stock until today. However got this warning message.

  We apologize for the inconvenience, but due to IATA shipping regulations we cannot ship battery products to your destination unless you have a device (camera or drone) in your cart. If you do have a device (camera or drone) in your cart please reduce the total number of batteries to two (2) to proceed.

  Does anyone know a work around?

    My order finally arrived today!

    Yeah, I didn't know about the regulations as well. It too was sold out when I ordered the Hero 9. I did get a spare battery though at least.
    I don't know how to do it - guess we'll have to go without it, buy aftermarket, or buy it retail?

    I was going to get the 3-way, and a couple of other accessories, but held off so I could add in that dual charger to get free shipping when it came in stock again.
    Now, after doing some research, I'll probably go with some other brands and not get anything extra from the GoPro store…

  Sorry new to gopro - and 1st gopro, so we need to purchase the charger separately in order to charge the battery?

  Cos saw the charger not in stock.

  Edit: All good - saw the clip that can charge directly with the camera.

  Did anyone else get charged a "Foreign Transaction Fee" for purchasing their GoPro even though the transaction was in AUD?
