The Yi 4K action cam is great on the budget, somehow it’s only $100 on Amazon which is crazy cause it’s a good Hero 4 or 5 competitor. If your gonna go with a knockoff GoPro it’s the only one I’d recommend.
I’ve now moved onto the GoPro Hero 5 Session I got for like $130 “refurbished” but literally brand new. It’s better for racing drone footage because of how compact it is. However no swappable battery’s and only about an hour of battery life kinda sucks for anything other than drone stuff.
Every camera works just fine, as long as you know how to shoot. If you get a phone gimbal, it also fits action cams and the footage is so smooth.
If you’re with someone, than a bigger DSLR or mirrorless camera is the way to go. Because you don’t have to worry, just esk8
Had the same issues with my GoPro 6 in the beginning. After some fw updates i don’t have this issue anymore. Could imagine it’s the same with the 7 or you just have a faulty battery.
This is what I like about the Insta360, because of the nature of a 360 camera you do not have to frame it at all so you can just concentrate on the skating and you can still get some sick videos
How sturdy is the one x? Will it survive if I fall/it slams on the ground?
Is it water proof?
How fast is a 128gb sd card filled?
Thats my issue on that thing, while I record everything and can choose afterwards I also have to save everything
If you or it slams it’s toast most likely. You have two 200 degree lenses, one on each side. If you scratch one of those it’s game over. Not sure on the memory card but the battery lasts 45 mins (and is removable). Not waterproof but probably splashproof
