The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I purchased a unique package that came with a fundamental assortment of extras, including in particular a telescopic tripod, an extra battery, and a head mount. It is necessary to have both a tripod and an extra battery. Once 40 minutes have passed since the beginning of the shot, she sits down abruptly, which means that at least two batteries are required. Given its magnitude, this is not a detriment to it; rather, it is something that should be kept in mind. It is possible that during the winter, when it is cold, the recording time will be shortened; however, I did not have any issues with this (when skiing). The issue started because I did not pick up the memory card in the appropriate manner, which caused it to become stuck. There is a brand of Sandisk extreme memory cards that has a price point that appears reasonable, and you should be able to purchase 128 GB of storage between the years 1500 and 2022. A reputable retailer sold me two of these cards, but unfortunately, one of them stopped working almost immediately after I got it. I was able to return it without incident within the terms of the warranty, but it brought to my attention that I should pay attention to the suggestions made by the manufacturer. There are memory cards available for mobile devices, and they are very affordable; however, because to the poor speed of writing and reading files, these cards might not work properly with GoPro cameras. As a consequence of this, I utilized a Sandisk Extreme Pro card, which features compatibility with 4K video as one of its primary design goals. Consequently, when selecting memory cards, the speed should be a priority, you should pay attention to the recommendations provided by the manufacturer. As recording in 4K quality requires a significant amount of storage space, it is inadvisable to use a memory card with less than 128 gigabytes. In addition, filming in full HD mode after shooting in 4K is not a comfortable experience because the difference is startling and can be seen with the naked eye. The stabilization process is really effective. The primary use cases involve wakeboarding and jet skiing that involve active riding. As a consequence, the camera is jerking all the time, but the image that is captured is still pleasing to the eye. It is possible to snap a decent picture in the dark by using a tripod and increasing the shutter speed, but if you want to record video, you should look into another device because night shooting is the GoPro's weak point. It is appropriate for use in travel vlogs, but if you need to take selfies while filming, then you should opt for the Hero 9. The Hero 9 is preferable because it does not have a color screen on the front of the device. Even without the ability to take selfies, the camera is very good and will almost certainly be useful in 2022 and for the next two to three years.

Pros
  • The sensation one gets from holding something of high quality in their hands. The standard of shooting Stabilization Accessories Simple connection via app Attachment of accessories in a convenient manner Available in a water-resistant form Adaptability for travel in terms of size and construction quality May be used for video blogging (with reservations)
Cons
  • The occasional freezing requires you to take out and replace the acb. When recording in 4K, the battery life is significantly reduced (see comment) There are certain memory cards that cannot be used (see comment) Bad video quality during the night
