What We Already Know
We had heard a whole lot from GoPro's homepage from their own website
full of information, but if you're just like me it's not so informational at all and provides very little information available for us to actually know.
For us, as users, this will be a great refresh for you to remember what the GoPro Subscription has to offer, and if you feel left behind I got you covered so just keep on reading and we'll get there.
I encourage you to read this entire article towards understanding the GoPro Subscription.
No Questions Asked Camera Replacement
When GoPro says no questions asked for the camera replacement, do they actually go by what they actually meant to say when they say "No Questions Asked"?
If your current GoPro is eligible listed on the list of GoPro's Website it almost works like a trade-in like Apple Inc. with iPhones.
As an example, if you have the iPhone 11 and you would want to get the iPhone 12 as soon as possible, you can trade-in your phone to apple, and with its phone condition check, it should give you a price range around $20-200 (estimated) where you can get the price off of the amount of the iPhone 12.
Okay, we are getting well off-topic here but depending upon the list of GoPros that you aim to exchange to get the latest GoPro, like the GoPro Hero 10 expected in 2021 then it's possible to swap em' out!
I now know that there is a service fee whenever I would want to trade-in or get a new GoPro there is a certain Service & Claim Fee for each Gopro, this includes the Karma & Karma Grip or whatever eligible equipment GoPro will allow at this time, in present-day please check this link that is hyperlinked if you are curious about the current price.
Now don't get too excited about this because as per subscription for a person you may and shall only trade-in 2 GoPro's maximum, so if you trade in a Hero 5 Session and a Hero 7 White for a new GoPro Hero 9 then you are maxed out. Now, why does GoPro prevent people from trading in over 2, In my own opinion I think this is because some people abuse the system that GoPro has to offer. Just like how people at Feeding America, no hate but some families like billionaires could be grabbing food from the food bank just to get more food when they have enough money to at least donate some food especially in the past year of 2020 with the hard pandemic.
This offer GoPro has to come will only work on eligible cameras that are damaged, they will not accept anyone saying that they lost their GoPro or any specific equipment towards being replaced with this.
Premium GoPro Support
I hadn't recently tried what the Premium GoPro Customer support has to offer but this means they are available no matter what time you have they are on 24 Hours/7 Days a week, hopefully, they give their customers the quality they have! However at this time this had been posted during this "Covid-19" Pandemic, they will try to ensure your priority in support as a GoPro Subscriber with your email that is associated.
50% Off Discount on Cameras, Mounts, and Accessories
GoPro Subscription TERMS AND CONDITIONS: https://gopro.com/en/us/legal/subscriptionterms
GoPro Subscription DISCOUNTS UPDATED: https://community.gopro.com/t5/en/GoPro-Subscription-Discounts/ta-p/436397
Now we all love discounts don't we?! GoPro Offers these discounts to people who have the GoPro Subscription or the GoPro Plus Subscription, now there is a limitation which will be listed somewhere around this article, I will be listing everything down quickly so we can both see how much of a discount you will get.
Cameras, like the Latest GoPro's (Such as GoPro Hero 9 Black) and Hero Max which is a 360 Degree wide view angled camera that you can view in virtual reality will be $100 Off, and the Previous version of a GoPro, which currently is the Hero 8, soon to be the Hero 9 will be $50 Off. Now, this does update every single year so we will have this linked in references below this entire article.
Eligible Batteries are 30% Off.
Eligible Mounts are between 30-50% Off
Eligible Mods are 30% Off
Eligible Protection Equipment is 50-30% Off
Eligible Bags + Cases are 30% Off
Now however all of these discounts may seem great to me and you, again in my own opinion the limit had been placed so no one can abuse this system. You will be granted only up to 10 eligible Mounts, Accessories, and other items per every 1 year (anniversary year) you register the account to the subscription.
Cloud Storage Limit?
No, and they never will! The GoPro (Plus) 'Subscription' when you have and use it will give you unlimited amounts of storage to 100% GoPro Footage and Audio Quality! And hopefully 100% GoPro Footage! I Hadn't tried it yet if it could download and save up to the cloud 5K or 4K Video but I will soon try this function and will let you know at any time I try it!
How Can I View the GoPro Cloud Storage?
How do I transport my GoPro Hero 9 to Upload to the cloud?
I am able to view the GoPro Cloud Storage through the GoPro App, just load up the app and log in to your account with the GoPro Subscription that you set up your GoPro with and tap on the blue folder icon on the very bottom left.
After you tap on that then tap right under where you see Media or 'All' the text "Cloud". Cloud should be centered in between App and Edits and you will see what your GoPro had uploaded to the cloud so far.
Another way you can view your GoPro Cloud storage is through the Web browser using the GoPro Media Library Online, hyperlinked here.
Just click on the hyperlink to the Gopro Media Library or if you are there already, simply log in using the account you registered your GoPro with and you should simply see the footage right there! You can share the media file, download it, or whatever you would like to do to your footage!!
GoPro Media Library: https://plus.gopro.com/media-library
Download the GoPro App https://gopro.com/en/je/shop/softwareandapp
In order to transport or transmit your GoPro Hero 9's footage to the cloud or any other eligible GoPro to the GoPro Storage Cloud is simply by connecting your GoPro to your wifi network, now this will only work on wifi you connected your GoPro to, mostly it should be your Home Network, and it will only work on that network, not the hotel wifi at all!
Now plugin using the USB C cable to the port underneath the Battery Panel on the Right Side of the GoPro. Now plug in the other side of the USB C cable to a sustainable power source. It will automatically start uploading to the cloud with its screens powered on.
If it hadn't automatically started uploading to the cloud then power on the GoPro itself and see if it say that it's uploading to the GoPro Cloud.
If that hadn't worked then swipe from top to bottom on the back LCD touch screen display and swipe to the right.
Then tap on connections, make sure "Wireless Connections" is turned on. Make sure "USB Connection" is not on MTP Mode where it only transfers media to your computer make sure it's on GoPro Connect where file transferring is enabled.
After this exit out of "Connections" and now tap on Preferences.
Then tap on "GoPro Subscription" and make sure where it says 'Auto Upload' had been turned ON if it's saying OFF switch it to turn ON so it can upload automatically. Or either you can hit onto Manual Upload. However, you will need to make sure your GoPro is plugged into the USB C Power Source.
Who Should Use This Feature?
In my own opinion, I think this feature should be used if you love producing content and filming with your GoPro or any camera a whole lot; If you own a production/media company to get footage faster and quicker; or if you simply just want an easier way to save footage without having to wait for a long amount of time.
Price of Subscription and Price Comparison
Now the price of the subscription is better yet when you get it yearly, this had been calculated excluding the Shipping Cost and Taxes or service fees.
Now some people price match or look at this very differently this is how I do it. First of all look at the Yearly price on a Per Month Basis.
Now as to it being on a Per Month Basis it's $4.17/mo if you multiply that by 12 you will pay Approximately $50.04. Now if you look at the Monthly subscription it's $4.99/mo, multiply that by 12 months it's Approximate $59.88 for 1 year. If I subtract .99 from .17 the difference is a $0.29 Difference in my own opinion that is quite a whole lot!
So what is my choice with the subscription between Yearly and Monthly? I say get Yearly of Course plus it's $0.29 Cheaper as well as that you only have to pay it once a year for the same amount of the Monthly cost but it's your own decision don't blame me for the cost it's my own opinion on what I would get. And the price may change so please see references for the link to its the current price right now at this time you are reading this.
