The stand out deal for an GoPro camera so far in the UK has to be the Hero 13 Black + Accessories Bundle for £349.99. The bundle value is £499.99, although it's a saver bundle with a list price is £449.99, meaning technically a discount of £100. If you coming in new to the GoPro ecosystem and need the extra accessories for the Hero 13 Black, this is hands down the best deal. Frankly even if you have a prior model, but are still set on this latest flagship, the accessories bundle is probably best because you can't use your old batteries in a Hero 13 Black. There are also bundles with GoPro's new Lens Mods, about which you can find out more in our in-depth review, link above.

Last week the price of the Hero 12 Black was £299, but now it has fallen to a record low £253.47. If you don't need the latest model, this is the best GoPro UK deal this Black Friday.
Since the Hero 13 Black, the Hero 11 Black is no longer available directly through the GoPro store. However, you can pick up some of the biggest discounts on this two-year-old flagship, which boasts many of the same features as the latest model, such as its 5.3K video with a square 8:7 sensor ideal for shooting clips in whichever aspect you desire for social. Curious what you'd miss out on versus opting for the Hero 12 Black? Check out our Hero 12 Black vs Hero 11 Black feature for the full low down. Spoiler: there's very little to entice most users to the pricier model, which by the way inexplicably lacks GPS. £269 is a decent price. However, we've seen the Hero 11 Black drop to as low as £243, so keep an eye on the latest prices to ensure you get the best deal. Also, the Hero 12 Black has just fallen to a lower price than the Hero 11 Black. We're waiting for an even low price on this model.
I'm TechRadar's Cameras Editor and have been writing GoPro news, reviews, features and buying guides for years. In fact, I recently did an in-depth review of the latest flagship, the Hero 13 Black – it's one heck of an action cam. I've also covered all the major recent sales events, including Black Friday and Amazon's Prime Day. GoPro updates its flagship action camera every year, and so there are regularly decent deals to be had. However, there's usually one deal that shines above the rest and I'll be sure to find it and share it in this deals guide, together with all the other leading deals of the various GoPro models.
Black Friday GoPro deals: FAQs
Is Black Friday the best time to buy a GoPro?
Black Friday is a great time to buy new camera gear in general and it's no different for GoPros. GoPro almost always launches its latest flagship action camera in September, as it did with the Hero 13 Black in 2024, and with Black Friday coming 2-3 months later, the year's biggest sale naturally coincides with the latest deals for older GoPro gear.
Don't be fooled by seemingly huge discounts, though – some retailers note the starting price as the original list price even on a GoPro that's several years old, for which the price has long been reduced. Take the Hero 11 Black. It's list price now is £349, but many sales note its list price as the launch £399 price. The bottom line is to look for the best price and not the biggest discount.
We check a GoPro's price history and only include the best deals. We typically add a note about the sale price, like if it's the first-ever discounts or the lowest ever price. Most retailers price match, but Amazon often goes one better, so is probably the best place to start looking.
When will the Black Friday GoPro deals start in 2024?
This year's Black Friday sale officially takes place on November 29, but GoPro deals are already available.
Most retailers price match, so if you see a discount on the Hero 13 Black at, say, Best Buy, chances are it will also be that price at GoPro's official website. However, Amazon often goes one better with some rival-beating deals. GoPro also offers unique bundles via its own store, such as the Macro Lens Mod bundle, so we'd always recommend checking gopro.com before making a purchase elsewhere.
Occasionally an online store can throw in an additional accessory an no extra cost, so it's worth keeping an eye out for those deals. Most of the leading camera retailers are listed above, along with the best deals currently available.
What Black Friday GoPro deals should I expect?
GoPro launched the Hero 13 Black in September 2024, and so we expect the best GoPro deals to be for the Hero 12 Black, the latest flagship's predecessor. In fact, in the UK it has already dropped to its lowest-ever price at Amazon.
Will we get even bigger discounts on models further back, such as the Hero 10 Black and Hero 11 Black? We'll see. However, you should know that GoPro rarely drops the prices of any of its flagship series models below $200 / £200, and so as the models currently available stack up, the price difference gets squeezed between those previous generation models.
For example, the Hero 10 Black could well drop to its lowest ever price over Black Friday, but so could the Hero 11 Black and there might only be price difference of $20-50 / £20-50, so you might as well pick up the later model.
