This is the cheapest GoPro you can buy right now (no need to hang on until Black Friday)

Is someone you know asking for a GoPro this holiday season? You could wait for the best Black Friday GoPro deals later this month - but if you are looking for something affordable we have found a great deal you can snap up right now.

The twelfth-generation GoPro Hero12 Black was launched a couple of months ago - but some of the older flagship action cameras in the range are still on sale. And arguably, if you are sticking your GoPro to get footage from your bike, skateboard or skiing expeditions, you probably don't need all the latest tech.

We have found the three-year old Hero 9 Black on sale for the extremely tempting price of just $199 at Amazon - that is under half the cost of the new Hero 12 Black.
