Famous GoPro models like the Hero 11 Black are getting considerable price reductions, but new subscribers are no longer getting discounts.
GoPro has something exciting to say, or at least something to make your wallet happy. From today, the prices of almost all of their goods will return to what they were before the pandemic. This means that you can now save around £/$100.
This may be your sign if you’ve been waiting to buy one of the best action cameras to record your summer activities. The flagship Hero 11 Black is now $399, down from $499.99. The Hero 11 Black Mini is now $299.99, and the slightly older but still awe-inspiring Hero 9 Black is only $249.99. It has the same Hypersmooth stabilization and 5K video as later models.
It has lowered the prices of most of its action cameras, including the GoPro Hero11 Black, Hero9 Black, and Hero10 Black. It is good news for everyone who likes to save money. The price of the GoPro MAX, a 5.6K 360-degree action camera made by the company, is the only thing that has yet to change.
As you can see in this article, the savings of around $100/£100/AU$150 are great news for anyone looking to buy one of the best action cameras. However, there’s a catch for the subscribers: the new prices apply to everyone, and those with a GoPro subscription plan won’t get any additional savings.
Comparison of GoPro Price Before and After
When we compare the Hero11 Black’s new price to its list price when it first came out, we can see that the price for users is the same as it was then.
Even though these new prices are the best for people who don’t join, subscribers got a better deal during the most recent Black Friday deals, when they could save an extra 15%. That made the member price for the Hero9 Black and Hero11 Black Mini $262.48 and £262.48, for the Hero10 Black was $304.98, and for the Hero 11 Black, it was $347.48 and £247.48.
It is also trying to get more people to sign up for its service by cutting the price of a contract in half, from $50/£50 to $25/£25 for new users. But it’s only for the first year; the price will return to the total amount afterward.
Other benefits of the subscription, like unlimited cloud storage, automatic highlight shows sent to your phone, and replacement of a broken camera, have stayed the same.
Existing subscribers will still be able to save $100/$100/AU$150 on future cameras after their first yearly subscription renewal. This is good news for people who like to upgrade their gear often.
GoPro is getting rid of the $100/£100/AU$150 discount on its current Hero Black cameras for people who sign up for a membership at the time of purchase. Instead, those price drops will be given to people not interested in GoPro’s subscription plan. The rest hasn’t changed much.
GoPro Subscription
With the GoPro Subscription, you still get unlimited free cloud storage, a promise that your broken camera will be replaced, access to the premium feature in the Quk app, and discounts on cameras you buy in the future. GoPro is also giving 50% off its subscription for the first year, bringing the price down to $24.99. If you keep the subscription for another year, you can get $100 off to a new camera.
Nicholas Woodman, the founder of GoPro and its current CEO, stated, “Pandemic-related issues forced us to increase prices, but now that those circumstances have ended, and we’re thrilled to make the insane efficiency of today’s GoPro available to everybody.”
During the pandemic, the tech industry was affected by a lack of chips, which also hurt GoPro. Due to factory closings, there were very few of them, so the price went through the roof. In general, cameras are much more expensive than they used to be. Some people don’t care about new cameras because they can’t buy them, so this is a nice change.
Conclusion
Whether you want to go hiking, mountain biking, swimming, or sightseeing this summer, a GoPro is the best way to take high-quality photos and videos because it is small and light. Plus, if you use it with one of the best devices, like the invisible selfie stick, you can take some excellent selfies.
