Q: QuestionWhen does this special offer expire? 399.00 was 449.00(2 answers)
A: AnswerBuy directly from GoPro, not only is it $50 cheaper at $349.98, but you also get (1) an extra battery, (2) a 64GB SD card, and (3) a 1-yr subscription to GoPro. Waaaay better value there.Answered by Speedway500
- A: AnswerWhen shooting in 5K and using a 128GB SD card, you should get about 4 hours and 12 minutes of recording time on that card. For the other cards, you can multiply that time based on the size of the card you're using. For the sizes you've listed, for example, you should get about 8 hours and 24 minutes on a 256GB card and 16 hours and 48 minutes on a 512GB card. Sandisk and Samsung cards are on our list of recommended cards, but there are different models within each of these brands, so you will want to check with GoPro's list of recommended cards to make sure the card you're using is recommended.

Q: QuestionWhy do you need a subscription for a GoPro hero 9(1 answer)
A: AnswerNo, a subscription is not needed to use the HERO9 Black. A subscription will offer some benefits to your experience with the GoPro like the cloud storage, premium editing tools on the new Quik app, discounts, and camera replacements, but you can use the functions of the HERO9 Black fully with or without a subscription.Answered by GoPro Support
- A: AnswerNo. I asked for “price match” and they say they don’t do it because it’s part of a subscription for members of GoPro. Sorry. I wanted to buy it from them as well.

Q: QuestionHow long does the battery last?(6 answers)
A: Answer2 hour + 10 minutesAnswered by RetiredTech
- A: AnswerThe batteries for the HERO9 Black are unique to that model, so batteries from previous GoPro cameras will not work with the HERO9 Black. Likewise, because the HERO9 Black is a different shape and size than previous models, accessories like dive housings that enclose the camera will not work between the models. However, nearly all other accessories, including most mounts and the USB-C charging cable, will work with both the HERO5 and the HERO9.
Answered by GoPro Support
- A: AnswerNo special case is needed unless you plan to take the GoPro deeper than 33 feet. If you are using the GoPro in salt water, it's always a good idea to rinse it off with fresh water after use.
Answered by GoPro Support
Q: QuestionCan I use the go pro 9 in the ocean or just fresh water?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYou can use GoPro cameras in either fresh or salt water. If you do use it in salt water though, because salt water can be corrosive, it's always a good idea to rinse the camera and other gear down with fresh water after use.Answered by GoPro Support

My 3rd Go Pro
Loved the expression on the faces of friends I gifted as Christmas presents both the 10 and the 9 series. Priceless!!I personally use the Go Pro Max as a backup while operating a commercial vehicle daily to justify any complaints about aggressive driving or improper operation of a class 8 semi tractor trailer . With the application QUICK i can edit scroll and capture scenic memories and store those images in the cloud. I’ll definitely be purchasing more series of the Go Pro because of the versatility of the different models and their price. To date I’ve never encountered any problems with the functionality of the equipment except for normal wear and tear of the multiple accessories from the vast selection of gadgets and gizmos The price doesn’t come close to the satisfaction you get when you gift it to friends or family. Well worth the price MikeC Set

Good for the price
Good for what it is, everything will always need improvements, it seems that just batteries and new lenses are the only thing I find even remotely disappointing, bought a polarized filter because the stock settings let in too much light still for day filming and now it looks great, the stabilization is a major feature that made it worth the money for me

Exceptional Video Quality!
I bought this prior to a hiking trip to look back to it in the future and it was a joy to see the high video quality! Very smooth, clear audio, and decent battery life. I also bought additional accessories, such as a helmet specifically to hold the go pro. The batteries are also rechargeable and you can buy additional ones to replace with when one of the batteries run out of juice, which helped me be able to record my whole trip. It was the perfect purchase and I am continuously using it during my hikes.
