Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe I'll buy it again.

I looked at Chinese rivals, mostly because of the pricing. There were two Chinese cameras there, but none had image stabilization, which makes an action camera's video uncomfortably unstable. These cameras might run you up to $100. If you shoot in 1080, they shot fairly well for their money and even competitively. I ultimately made the decision to get a reference gopro after viewing a video on YouTube. Since I don't blog and instead shoot primarily for myself and my friends, I chose to pass on 10k at this point and settle for 8k. Also, I'm happy with the shooting overall. Yet despite how absurd it may sound, the camera is buggy, as has been stated often. The location of the galaxy in Orion's belt directly affects how the camera operates. I ride a mote, and during the winter they traveled along the lake using just one battery for 25 to 30 minutes in 2.7 or 4K. From this lake, we slowly crossed a field. The camera occasionally did not function for even five minutes. Despite the fact that, like the camera, the battery was fresh and warm. When something stops working after being turned off, the battery needs to be removed. I experimented with various flash drives before choosing a 128GB, 300Mbit Sandisk. As the lens is not replaceable and cannot be removed, glasses were purchased for protection since else everything would quickly become scratched. To be completely honest, the software in this camera demonstrates that every last bit of efficiency was achieved. regarding software is a another matter. My experience with the GoPro video editing program was that I had to enter my credentials after pressing each button. The "remember" button is absent. More than 1-2-3 films cause the software to become completely frozen (this can be seen in the task manager). In the end, we discovered a fix on the forum, rewriting a few files with the date. However, after some time, the program launches, but nothing can be done on the video loading screen; it doesn't appear that any files are loaded. After roughly a month of use, everything became apparent. Other than that, the camera is cool, light, water-resistant, shoots effectively, records sound, and has good stabilization. I was mistaken earlier when I believed that all of this was unimportant and certainly not for everyone after reading the evaluations.

Pros
  • video and audio quality, choice of shooting modes, and construction quality
Cons
  • Non-removable lens, battery power, and SOFT
