Comparison of GoPro prices for different models (older ones too)

It’s important to note that prices may vary based on whether you purchase a GoPro online or in-store and which retailer you choose. Some stores may offer discounts or bundle deals that affect prices as well. Check out the latest Gopro prices in the list we’ve created below (we’ve also linked to the stores directly so you can quickly check the price yourself too).

Factors that influence the price

There are several factors that can influence the price of a GoPro camera in South Africa. Firstly, newer models tend to be more expensive than older ones due to their updated features and technology.

Another factor is where you buy your camera – some retailers may have higher markups than others based on their business model or overhead costs. It’s important to consider any accessories or add-ons when budgeting for your purchase.

Waterproof housing cases and mount kits can add significant cost but may be necessary if you plan on using your GoPro for outdoor activities such as surfing or mountain biking. Overall, it’s worth shopping around and comparing prices before making your purchase so that you can find the best deal possible on a GoPro camera that meets your needs!

Best places to buy a GoPro in South Africa

GoPro prices winner summary

Physical stores offer the advantage of being able to handle the various models and get a feel for them before purchasing but the truth is that when it comes to GoPros, you either love the brand and all its products or you don’t. Models come out every so often and you simply get to choose between older and new models. Currently, there is a huge preference for the GoPro Hero 10 but the price difference between this and the latest GoPro Hero 11 isn’t too wide so many people reckon why not just buy the latest model.

Online retailers with competitive prices

If you’d prefer not to leave your house, online shopping is always an option. Online retailers tend to have more variety than brick-and-mortar shops. In addition, online shopping can also present opportunities for better pricing. Our affiliate partner Xtreme Xccessories offers a super nifty price match offer, check it out on their website (they will match the price of another retailer)! Whichever you choose, just make sure you’re buying from reputable stores (we’ve pretty much covered that in this article!).

Accessories for GoPro cameras

Once you get your hands on a GoPro camera, the next step is to equip yourself with the right accessories to optimise your experience. From underwater housing to mounts, here are some of the must-have GoPro accessories for different activities. Most of the stores we listed above also stock awesome accessories.

Tips for Saving Money on a GoPro Purchase

Buying used or refurbished cameras

One way to save money when purchasing a GoPro camera is to buy a used or refurbished one. Many people sell their cameras after only using them once or twice, and they are often in great condition. It’s important to purchase from a trusted seller and inspect the camera carefully before buying. Demo cameras also available from Xtreme Xccessories are also a great option to help you save.

Taking advantage of sales and promotions

Keep an eye out for these promotions as they can offer significant discounts on both cameras and accessories. Many retailers also offer their own promotions on GoPro products.

Another way to save money is to bundle your purchase with other accessories or products. The GoPro 11 bundle is by far the best deal available on the market (and the lowest price is offered by Xtreme Xccessories).

Many online and storefront stockists offer package deals that include things like memory cards or spare batteries at a discounted price when purchased together with a camera. This can be an excellent way to get everything you need while still saving money overall.
