About 18 months ago, CNET's Joshua Goldman called the GoPro Hero5 Black the GoPro to get. And that was based on its then-$399 list price.

Today, and for a limited time, you can get the GoPro Hero5 Black for $199.99 shipped when you apply promo code BOT20 in your shopping cart. That price includes a free spare battery and free 32GB microSD card. (Thanks to reader Vince for sharing this deal!) Update: Although this code was tested and seemed to work, once you reach the final checkout page, the extra $50 isn't subtracted from your total. The likelihood is that codes like this weren't intended to apply to items already on sale, which this is, but it's a frustrating glitch all the same.

Watch this: GoPro Hero5 Black is all about the feature upgrades

Essentially, that's giving you 4K video capability for the exact same price as the new entry-level 2018 GoPro Hero model -- a pretty incredible deal.

Make sure you apply that promo code before checking out. There's a tiny, easy-to-miss "promo code" icon on the left side, under the list of products in your cart -- not on the right side with your cart total. Click that icon, then enter the code.

Incidentally, this an all-time low for the Hero5 Black. The extras, which have a combined value of $50, are just icing on the cake.
