Available from Tuesday, 4/11/23 9‌:0‌0 a‌.‌m. PST and will continue until GoPro terminates the program in its sole discretion. Applies only to purchases made on gopro.com.

The 15% off sitewide sale is limited up to 10 items, and it must be in a single transaction at gopro.com. Discount applies once all items are placed in the cart. Limit: one per customer. In the event that you return your item(s), in accordance with our Shipping Policy, Warranty and Return Policy, you will be eligible for a full refund.

Discount not applicable to GoPro subscription. Discount applies to the hardware portion of hardware/subscription bundle offers, but excludes any discount of the individual subscription price. Offer is subject to change at GoPro's discretion.

Thanks to user @Flickit : The Paypal method to avoid the $70 subscription fee:

They charge you for the hardware as soon as you go through the checkout, then they charge for the subscription a little later, so you need to cancel the Gopro Paypal payment permission to block the subscription payment…

Straight after you finish the checkout go to Paypal >>> Settings>>> Payments>>> select the Gopro auto-payment permission and cancel it so Gopro dont have permission to bill you again in the future…

This link should get you to the auto-payments:
https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/autopay/

An example of a Paypal Auto-payment permission page, go there and click the cancel:

(You seem to have a bit of time but to play it safe maybe have the Paypal page open and logged in before finalizing the checkout on the Gopro site so you can cancel the payment permission as fast as possible)

FYI: I tried the above method and only paid $475 for the camera :-)

    seems like a good price. i'd be upgrading from a hero 7 black, anyone got any thoughts on whether thats worth it for that? in my case my batteries are nearing end of useful life so i figure id be buying new batteries anyway if i stuck with the 7

    • eggboi on 13/04/2023 - 15:56

      yep, worth it if you actually do use your gopro lol. I have the Hero 10 and also came from a hero 7, and it's way more responsive to touch input, doesn't glitch out as much (the 10 will sometimes fail to turn off, but it will just hang on the "shutting down" screen, whereas my 7 would appear to be off, but then 1-2 hours later it would be hot and the battery drained).

      cool features like horizon lock, and custom settings profiles. also 4K 120fps if you need/want that. No huge improvement in video quality or stabilisation (apart from horizon lock)

      • perfectlydark on 13/04/2023 - 16:04

        cheers mate. i just bought it lol plus the enduro 2 pack and charger. i have a small outdoors channel and kind of sick of relying on my phone as my current hero 7 batteries only get me about 20 minutes before dying its just pointless. cant complain for just over $500 to also get the extra batteries. the 4k at more than 30fps looks good to me too

              @Kunalb84: The membership/subscription is a bit pointless IMO:

              • The camera replacement thing costs $150, plus the $70 sub fee, so $220 for one year insurance, it's not value for money to me…
              • Discounted accessories, but they only ship batteries with a new camera , and other accessories you have to pay shipping on after the initial purchase so it's only cost effective to buy accessories with your initial camera purchase, you get the accessory discount on your initial order even if you use the trick to dodge paying the subscription….
              • Cloud storage, but that only lasts as long as you're paying the $70 per year sub fee, and uploading a stack of 4k footage = a lot of time…
              • unlimited use of the Quick App, I'm not sure what value this is, I've never used it, it "may" be worthwhile to some people though….
              • educalifa on 13/04/2023 - 17:30

                @FLICKIT: It depends on your situation, really… I had 2 Gopros (Hero5 Black and Hero9 Black) and one was smashed and the other out of warranty but glitching like a m@$)+! so getting the subscription was a no brainer.

                • FLICKIT on 13/04/2023 - 18:00

                  @educalifa: Each to their own… I guess I've been lucky, 12 years of using Gopros, fairly heavy use, and I haven't broken one yet… I've swiped a couple off my helmet clipping trees and hitting the ground, but I've only ended up with a few superficial scratches on them, lol…

                  • educalifa on 14/04/2023 - 06:59

                    @FLICKIT: They seem to work really well off road and that includes my glitchy Hero9 Black! But as soon as I put the Hero9 on my race bike it last maybe a lap on the track before it freezes or stops recording audio or decides to turn itself on and off every 10s or whatever other party trick it feels like presenting on the day lol

                    The Hero5 Black got flung at over 200kph and the rear screen got smashed early in its life but it still recorded perfectly all the way til last month when I sent it in. Only issue is that without the rear screen I could never update its firmware or change any of the settings properly.

    I have been using the GoPro HERO11 Black for a few months now, and it has been awesome. I had a problem with the 10 where pans would be jerky (otherwise good IQ and great stabilisation).

    My holiday kit now is a Sony A7R4 + 35mm F1.4 for photos, GoPro 11 in my pocket for super stable handheld video and a DJI Mini 3 for drone shots (when I can be bothered carrying it). Super light kit for amazing, easy photos and videos.

      Damn! fantastic video. I have to make a plan to visit Lady Elliot island.

      • dtpearson on 13/04/2023 - 19:08

        Do it. We did the 4nights get the 5th free in Jan and it was just the best family holiday. Some of the best easy, off the beach snorkelling anywhere in Aus, super relaxing, great food. Was amazing.

        Entire video was done just holding the GoPro in my hand. No gimbal, no mounts, no selfie sticks, no polarising filters. Just point and shoot, then iMovie for putting the footage together. Stupid easy and great memories for the kids.

        • theguyrules on 14/04/2023 - 11:09

          Awesome video. We are off to Cairns and going snorkelling next week and I think this has sold me on the GoPro. Now to figure out how to get it for the best price before we leave tomorrow.

      Do you have any issue with the camera being shut down because it is too hot? They will send me a replacement soon and promised to test it before sending me. I could only record the 4K videos between 20-30’ never longer period than that.

          Only if there is zero air movement over it. Otherwise is fine. I have never had my 11 overheat on me and that's using 4k with horizon lock.
          But YMMV

    • FLICKIT on 13/04/2023 - 18:08

      I haven't had any heat issues on the 10, 4k 50fps hypersmooth no boost, comms and gps off, but I only use it for bushwalking, boating, and as a helmet cam, MTB & motorbike, "action", what it's designed for.. Bushwalking and boating tend to be shorter clips, on the helmets I record continuously for hours…

      Most the people that seem to complain about overheating seem to be the people doing their best to make click-bait videos to make money, trying to use it as a desktop cam and the likes, I'm not sure why they don't buy something fit-for-purpose…. (10 & 11 seem to be about the same heat wise)

      (Edit: To add to this… I've seen surfers complain about heat issue when they've been using them in a dive housing, I assume a combination of trapped internal heat plus the sun through the case, it's kinda understandable)

    Make sure you order any extra batteries you want with the camera. GoPro won’t ship batteries without a camera, so you won’t get the accessories discount with your subscription on them. I had a polite whinge about this with online chat and they sent me a free Shorty.

  • he11bent on 18/04/2023 - 14:02

    Received mine yesterday along with a bunch of accessories, used it for the first time on my ride home, have it in the protective housing attached to my motorcycle helmet.
    recording at 4k, 60FPS with max stabilisation.
    My old Hero 8 Black would like the ride to work and ride home before needing a recharge and that was recording at 1440p. I've done two trips, and if % is to by, it'll last another ride home and a half on the 11. So not to bad.
    HOWEVER, after I got to the office today, took it out of the protective housing to charge the battery and yep, this thing RUNS HOT, way way hotter than I ever felt the 8.
    So do be aware of that.

    Edit - oh and Amy has now sent me two emails regarding my cancelled subscription payment. Poor girl, she'll be perpetually waiting for that payment.

    • FLICKIT on 18/04/2023 - 16:13

      I don't bother running the dive housing on the modern Gopros since they're reasonably water resistant and have heat issues, I just run a silicon case for scuff protection most the time….

      Battery life isn't great, if you want to record for extended periods it's probably worth investing in the USB pass-through door then power the camera from a battery-bank in your pocket:
      https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09BBJTF8R
      I run one of those doors with a short right-angle cable which makes it a bit tidier and easier to unplug the USB-C up near my neck before taking the helmet off:
      https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B08J7HP5BB

      (I'll have to cut up the silicon case if I want to use it with the passthough door)

    I did this with the paypal trick, Amy has reached out to me twice and my initial payment is still in authorising - has it been caught on now ?

    when should i expect the shipping info / delivery ? I ordered on weekend so presuming weekend + public holiday has caused delays.

    Would they cancel the whole thing otherwise and release the auth ?

    Things you should know before purchasing GoPro:

    1. The camera is NOT waterproof. Well, first months it is waterproof, but then one time you find it is not working because it is full of water inside. Google, and you will find many people complaining about this. Maybe it is waterproof against rain, but you can't swim with it or do snorkeling (what I did and the camera didn't survive).

    2. The subscription is useless. They say you can exchange the camera anytime with no questions, but in reality, you are simply unable to use this subscription. There is no button on the site that you want to return or exchange the camera. You have to contact support. And there are only 2 ways you can contact the support: live chat, which simply doesn't work on any PC in any browser (again, you can find many topics on the Internet about this including GoPro site where support replies "We checked with technical specialists and everything works"), or request a call back (and they never call you back).

    Really, they behave like a scam company. They provide you with some features/services, but do everything you were unable to use them. Is it possible to fix the chat or use another chat if this one is buggy? Yes! Is it possible to add a page to the site where you can request an exchange? Yes! But they deliberately don't do this, even though people have been complaining about it for 2+ years.

      Give it a few days… They tend to have rolling specials, one will end then a couple of days later a new one will start… It's basically been 15% off for many months now…

    If I just want video, for filming fish while fishing 😃, would I just go with a mini, battery and waterproof cases?
    Can the minis send the video back to your phone for a 'live feed'?

      The mini has a fixed non-replaceable battery, so limited record time and limited life-span..
