Go Pro / Action Camera

Hi everyone,

I'm looking at buying either a go pro or action camera but was first wanting to gather some feedback and recommendations for other brands people have had experience with so thought I'd ask here.

Thank you

    I bought a Hero 8 a few years ago and it still performs great. The newer versions will be even better.
    DJI do a pretty good poor man's GoPro, they look good on paper at least.
    Are you looking for video stability or shock resistant camera?

    I wanted one for commuting on my bike (and any other random needs we could use it for); and after much looking around (reading/watching reviews and specs) and talking to people it became pretty apparent that you get what you pay for with these things. Yes there are cheap options, but likely they will suffer in various features (stability, low light performance, water protection, etc) to varying degrees.
    So for me I wanted the assurance of those features important to me (waterproof, stability and low light perf), so sunk the coin on a GoPro 9. I don't use 90% of the features tbh, but when I need it, it works and it works well.

    So yeah I think its important to be clear on what is important to you and then build up a picture of what you need from there.

    Oh and you can get all the mounts and straps from AE

    There are so many reviews on Youtube, check them out first, I've owned a Dji action cam, it's really good.
