GoPro has instituted for a limited time a Trade Up program to get a brand spanking new Hero 5 Black or a Hero 5 Session by turning in your old GoPro Hero camera all the way back to Version #1 to the Hero 4. The program will shave off $100 off a GoPro Hero 5 Black or $50 of a GoPro Hero Session. It can also be traded in if it’s dented, damaged, not working, destroyed or fried. They will pay for shipping both ways.
So does it make sense to do it? Depends on which GoPro you wan’t to exchange in return for a new 5 model. We believe you should look for any GoPro you have around and the older the better as newer models will still be in our view as valuable or more so than the trade in. We analyze if it make sense to do it. The Hero 5 Black is a pretty good slow motion camera on a budget that just works!
