Back in the day, having a GoPro Subscription meant that you could get the latest and greatest GoPro action cameras for cheaper than non-subscribers. When the company got rid of this benefit, interest in GoPro Subscription waned slightly.
Looking at a Redditor’s photos, there might be other reasons why you might want to keep that subscription going.
In a post titled ‘100m free fall with fpv drone…’, RedditorFit-Variation-4220shared some photos of what looks like aGoPro Hero 12 Black, completely disfigured after a 100-metre (approx. 328 feet) fall while attached to a drone. The lens and the battery door fell off, and the battery itself seems to be missing, too. Ouch.
As rugged as thebest GoProis, it can’t withstand such a massive fall without complete obliteration. Officially, the Hero 12 Black should be able to survive a fall from 10 metres (33ft) without Protective Housing and 60 metres (196ft) with Protective Housing.
You might wonder what any of this has to do with theGoProSubscription. Well, as damaged as the aboveaction camerais, you can still trade it in if you’re a subscriber for a whopping $100. Even assuming it isn’t the Hero 12 Black, cameras all the way back to the Hero 9 Black can be traded in for the same price.
That’s a whopping $100 off your next GoPro, whichever model it might be!
GoPro’s Premium subscription(links to GoPro) costs $49.99 a year ($24.99 for the first year for new subscribers), and as well as the generous trade-in offer, you also get unlimited cloud storage, synced mobile and desktop editing, up to 50% off accessories, auto uploads and more.
