I think u meant, amazon deal..thank you.thank you..I’ll be here all day..
Warranty wise? Would that have to go through Amazon or can we go with GoPro? Do GoPro entertained grey stock?
I believe it is either local AU manufacturer's warranty or Amazon will take care of shipping it to US for servicing. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
Damn! And here I was thinking the $300 worth of Amazon cards I bought last weekend would last a while. Oh well, guess I now know what I'll be buying next Saturday now!
How to get 10% off Amazon GC by Zip pay please?
Go to 7/11 and buy the physical gift cards with ZipPay
Or Australia Post - that's where I got mine (if you can find one that's open on Saturdays)
Good deal

Would JBHiFi price match it? It's on Amazon AU but sold by Amazon US?
I'd doubt
I have priced matched 2 items from Amazon UK and USA and they done it.
They look at Amazon website if it says au up top they have priced matched it.
How does this compare to the hero nine?
I did quick check and it seems there's nothing major: adds support of 5K30, better stabilization, bigger battery, colour screen on its front etc.

Hero 8 does not have a removeable lense, big downside.
that's a huge downside.
But if you have no intent to remove the lens, maybe not significant downside?
Anyone know if you can mount these to motorcycle helmets in NSW?
If you can't. You can always wear a chest mount for it.
Holiday bundle is no longer at that price now!
Does zip pay 10% work for online payments? I thought only instore
Edit: nvm didn’t read gc idea :)
been waiting for this deal, thanks OP purchased one
I got the HERO8. the battery life seems to be very short in the 8 compared to my HERO6. Anyone else have the same issue?
The short battery life is common with the 8. Basically the software is pushing the hardware harder these days, so they have put in higher c rating batteries to compensate. This is also why you will notice that the 8 gets pretty darn hot under load. The battery will drain faster with hypersmooth turned on also. The hero 8 has hypersmooth 2.0, so it's even worse. Out of all the go pro's we use on FPV drones, the 8 seems to be the weakest. The non replaceable lens is another huge downside.
Yep, I really like the 8, but the lens is a big let down for popping it on a drone.
How much short is the battery life?
Got the Hero 7. Dont really want to ugprade :) Anyone had both and know any key differences or features?
The stand out upgrades are the better audio and stabilisation. The 8 can do 4k in linear FOV, while 7 maxes out at 1440p for linear FOV. With the 7 the camera needs to be removed from the skeleton housing to access battery, USB charging and SD card, while the 8 has the mount inbuilt and easy access to the ports. 8 has warmer and more saturated colours. 8 has a better photo mode that doesn't have HDR ghosting like the 7 has.
The 7 has a removable lens, while the 8 requires more work to replace if it gets damaged. I think that's the only pro the 7 has over the 8.
amazing deal!
