GoPro all the way for me. Personally I have never been one for Chinese cheater brands. Knock offs of an original. I prefer the tried and true that defined the category, GoPro. I upgraded from the 10 to the 12. Love them both! GoPro subscription with editing tools is unmatched by the facsimiles. GoPro has a large patent catalog that should continue to bear amazing new tech. The cheater brands will fade away as fast as they came in scene. Insta360 is already violating numerous GoPro patents that will end their business model of theft soon. Leave with the girl you brought to the dance. GoPro or go home!!

Got the R8 recently was trying to weigh up whether the extra grand was worth it for the R6 Mk2, ultimately decided I don't need dual SD as I never stray from quality SanDisk SD cards, and the LPE6 battery would be annoying as I also have a canon SL2 that also takes LPE17 batteries so i already have 6+ batteries
@gordoncameraon3 ай бұрын
The R8 is a solid camera, I’d definitely consider one as a secondary/backup body. I went with the R6 because of its speed, quality and settings layout. Will make a review of it soon!

Gopro still has the corner on brand recognation. No other action camera has that, currently anyway. I think the other brands are doing better with viral marketing. They give tons of camers away to content creaters. If gopro does that its only to the big channels. Look at the gopro max. They just sat on it and now insta360 is the standard for 360 cameras.
@gordoncameraon4 ай бұрын
I was actually saying to a friend earlier I really respect that GoPro is conservative with sending their products out for reviews to content creators. When Insta360 have a new product, the embargo lifts and suddenly all the tech/camera channels post a glowing review all at the same time… pretty easy to see they’ve been sponsored to be nice and I don’t much respect that. You’re right, GoPro definitely still lives rent free when it comes to what we think when we see action camera footage

@@gordoncameraon Depends if you'd love a bigger or a smaller challenge. If you want to go big, my list will always consist in my favourite youtubers. I don't know any of them personally, but I have been following them for a while now and I really appreciate the work they do. I must warn you first, their list of subscribers goes over a million each. If this is not something to put you back from a challenge, here you have my favs: @evazubeck is a traveler and a story teller. Considering the places she has visited, from the vast Asian lands such as Mongolia and Pakistan, to the sunny lands of South and Central America and then to the current location - the cold parts of Northern Europe, the equipment she is using must be one that withstands extreme temperatures and weather conditions, so definitely an interesting one to discuss. Then there is @SorelleAmore who is a bit closer to the areas you are currently traveling around. She is now in Australia and planning to go on a serious road trip around the hot areas of this country. I am sure her bag is also full of interesting stuff to film and edit with. A third favourite is probably more suitable for when you are back to Europe. This would be @jonnajinton. She is not necessarily the traveler, but the equipment she is using to film in the freezing temperatures of the northern parts of Sweden must be interesting to look at especially for people who like filming in snowy and freezing environments. All of them do make mentions about the stuff they film with in their videos, but since their channels are not focused on the equipment, but rather their experiences, perhaps they would be open to discuss the technology behind their channels with a fellow youtuber 😉. If you would rather like to go smaller first, I am sure that among the people you meet with on your travels, there will be some who would like to share some of their kit preferences.

I strongly considered an 11 but ultimately went with the DJI Action 3, I've since also bought an Osmo Pocket 3. I didn't like having to buy the media mod just to get an external mic to work and I also heard about the battery issues. I'm not into extreme sports so the DJI at the lower price, with a better mount and more innovation seemed like all I needed. I think GoPro can get by on their brand identity for a while, but without some serious competing on features and price it's going to have big problems soon. There is a parallel with Apple, GoPro also does annual, iterative releases that rest heavily on their past laurels. But Apple has a diverse product line that features the premium option in each market category and the ecosystem has locked in a total of more than 2 billion active devices. GoPro doesn't have that luxury, the competition has already caught up and will probably leapfrog them in value and features this year (if they haven't already).

@@gordoncameraon I do fil on 5K3 because it allows for yt short + regular footage. I guess i can just buy a few USB C battery banks... But that defies the purpose of the gopro a bit. Just had a play around with a sony ZV-E10 and the battery life on that is really good; disite it having a relatively small battery. It can do pretty much everything, but the software is sub-par compared to gopro / DJI osmo 3 pocket. So you have to do many of these effects in post.

I'd be happy if Gopro would change their wanna'be Apple packaging / no return packaging to a simple box with real flaps that doesn't require the skills of a brain surgeon to open. I just bought a 12. All of the packaging torn off in pieces. All of it. I couldn't even cut my way in without going into contortions to get the box open. This has been true for a long time with Gopro. I get it, people are stealing your product in the store. Maybe that's a comment on the price?

Did yours not come in a zip up case? You can tell they’re trying to take Apples release ideology. A new GoPro used to feel fresh and exciting but now we usually get small updates and sometimes features being removed (gps). I really hope they get back on track, but it’s not looking good for them

I use gopros to record pov dirtbike racing. 90 mim races. I switched to dji after owning several gopros. The last few years of gopro drove me crazy with overheating issues or just simply crashing while recording. I didnt feel the premium pricing translated well to the cameras. All i needed was 90mins of 1080p @ 60fps. Dji action 4 (and 3) just kills it for this use case. You reminded me that I was always charging my gopro batteries right before I jumped on my bike because the damn things wouldnt hold a charge! That Redbull partnership gets them simply the best most innovative content out there.

@@gordoncameraon i'm not sure the ceo has the dna for the next phase to compete. tech innovation is war. the ceo has to be uncompromising and seek out the best and convince them to join his team. dji is on another level and is closer to the manufacturing process for cameras. i appreciate the ceo/gopro for what they did but this is sometimes just part of what humans do building on what came before them and pushing things forward. no matter what gopro put out dji is going to be able to one up them every time. just take a look at their latest quarterly filings YoY negative unit sales for the last 3 years. that says it all. subscriptions have also peaked and should go negative this year.
