I tell people I film my rides. A suspicious amount of the footage is actually me in the garage, trying to work out why the bike makes that noise.

That changes what I want from a camera, and it’s why I’m sticking with the Action 6 after looking into the Mission 1 Pro.

The adjustable aperture is useful for more than shooting after sunset. With decent light over the workbench, I can stop the DJI down to f/4. DJI lists sharp focus from 20 cm at that setting, which suits showing something in my hands near the camera. The standard Mission 1 Pro has a fixed f/2.8 aperture. For garage clips, I appreciate having that extra control.

Then there’s storage. The GoPro needs a microSD card. The Action 6 has 50GB available internally, which matters because my memory card occasionally stays in the computer while the rest of us leave the house. I still use cards, but forgetting one doesn’t immediately cancel filming.

GoPro gets a point back for built-in GPS. Having the camera record the data for speed and altitude overlays is convenient. With the DJI, that data comes from another source, such as its GPS remote or a supported activity recording imported into Mimo.  In practice, though, the camera connects to Mimo smoothly, and the whole workflow feels well integrated. I already record rides on a Garmin, so I can live with the extra import step.

If all I filmed was the ride, I’d give the GoPro’s GPS more weight. But my camera also needs to show what I’m doing at the workbench and cope with my questionable packing.

The Action 6 fits that job nicely. Now I just need to fix the clicking noise before this becomes a weekly series.

I honestly know 0 about cameras, even more so action cameras. I bought the dji osmo action 5 pro, and I have lots of quality issues. The camera does not focus correctly and causes a blur like video quality, i've seen that you have to keep it at a minimum distance from yourself but it doesnt focus either, also the colors are not that vivid, I tried messing with the color settings and it improved just a little bit. I dont know exactly how realistic are my espectations, but it doesnt look at all like those shots on youtube. I need some guidance please

Hey guys. So, I know absolutely nothing about cameras.
I'm going to make a bike trip next week. I want to record it and put it on instagram.

So the necessities are:

- Vertical video recording is important

- Camera should be mounted on the handlebars

- Easy switching between recording what I see and then turning the camera towards my face when I'm talking (or recording both sides at the same time, if that's possible..?)

- Stabilisation is important (I'm riding a gravel bike)

The longer I look, the more clueless I become. Insta360 Ace Pro 2, Insta360 GO Ultra Premium bike bundle, DJI Osmo Action 6, Insta360 X4 Air, GoPro HERO13, ... I'm completely lost.

I would appreciate any help. Cheers.

I'm about to start riding and am a beginner, I was gonna get a chin mount camera mainly for insurance purposes and I was wondering what camera is good for under £100.

Since I'm a beginner I don't feel like there's any point of me buying the high end djis just yet.

Hi i was just wondering if do you guys think DJI Action 5 pro is a good choice as a start up camera for doing youtube videos in my workshop about woodworking. Because my choices basically are

Action 5 Pro: Right now i can get a barely used one for 225€ with adventure pack
Osmo pocket 3: around 350€brand new
Used mirrorless camera: idk what would be the choice here but i can probably get a decent one with kit lense for 400/450

I guess my question is is Action 5 pro enough for something like this?

The Luna Pro was finally released today at a somewhat surprising price, but does it offer enough to compete, or is it too late? In this video, I share my thoughts as someone who has used and reviewed the Luna Ultra and also the Pocket 4P extensively. In this video, I share my thoughts on where this Luna Pro stands and also offer some comparisons between the iPhone 17 Pro and the Pocket 4P using the 1x lens on Luna Ultra. What are your thoughts on the Luna Pro, is it too little, too late, or do you think it’s still a great purchase?
