Been using the [GoPro HERO13 Ultra Wide](https://x.com/DealHopperHQ/status/1977619571025854496) for a few weeks and it’s honestly great. Super sharp 5.3K video, smooth stabilization, and the ultra wide lens makes every shot look more cinematic. Took it swimming a few times with no issues, so the waterproofing checks out. Battery life could be better, but overall it’s a tough little camera that delivers awesome footage for its size.
Insta 360 all day, there's more work reframing but the edits are way more immersive. I've came from a go pro with max lense mod and theres no comparison. I wear mine ontop of my helmet leaning it forward with an extra safety tether.
Depends on what you’re doing. I’m really liking the low light performance on the Mission 1 so far. The Action 6 loses a lot of detail in low light.
The built-in mics and audio on the Mission 1 are better than the Hero 13. DJI has it beat with wireless mics at the moment, but the mics won’t survive all activities an action cam might be taking.
The Mission 1 could be the wrong choice for you. I’m pretty happy with it so far.
GoPro hero 13. Best image quality of any action camera.
Max 2, fairly good image wuality for a 360 camera but comes with 360 video workflow which is very tasking in comparison.
If you dont need 360 camera, get a the GoPro 13.
Different cameras for different things. Battery life, low light, fast UI go with DJI. Overall video quality, skintones and stabilization go with GoPro.
As a pro user I choose GoPro over DJI but would recommend DJI for beginner not caring about the mentioned things. :)
I don’t do anything extreme. I like to use the GoPro to get unique angles. As well as using it by bodies of water. Underwater. Etc. I love it for timelapses. I love slapping it on my car on road trips. I use it to get great b footage for my home videos. I essentially have a private YouTube channel that just has my family movies on them so we can watch them on the TV and share with family directly. They are edited like YouTube videos. But I don’t need the audience.
I have 2 GoPro 13’s and the plan is to buy myself a Max 2 for my self for my birthday.
I love capturing as much as I can. I have a terrible memory. Capturing these moments helps me remember all the fun we have. Even if it’s just playing on the swing in the back yard.
