Comprate una GoPro usada, esas chinas son malísimas. Te lo digo de experiencia. Graban como los teléfonos del 2007. Agarrate una Hero 3+ Black para arriba. La 4 es bastante común, barata y anda genial. Yo tengo las dos y las llevo usando casi 4 años re contento

i dont get it either mate! I know there is some very competitive brands that might have slightly better settings or other things...but shoot. I got my first GoPro the Hero 3 Plus Black and have had almost everyone one since. The customer service has always been the greatest. For me thats what does it. They have sent me so much free stuff, replaced mounts that were expensive that broke accidentally. You cannot beat that. And just like you mentioned sure things could be different, they have also made a few product mistakes but they just always seem to work for what i do. I still think they are the top action camera.

Comprate una Go Pro Hero 3+ Silver/Black usada (la diferencia creo estaba en el estabilizador, en la black es mejor). No están caras, los accesorios valen dos mangos, conseguís baterías, la app de celu anda relativamente bien y tiene una calidad más que aceptable. Yo tuve la silver y, si bien la estabilización podría ser mejor, tiene buena imagen de día y de noche. La única contra es que el viento le pegaba de lleno y el micrófono tomaba todo, pero vienen micrófonos externos que también salen 2 monedas y te soluciona esto. Este año vendí la mía y en Drive tengo unos videos que filmé andando en moto, si te sirve te paso el link para que veas.

I have bought the 3+, 5 black, 8 black, and 11 black over the years. They’ve done me well, but I won’t be buying another one. DJI has surpassed them everywhere. I understand there is a lot of brand riders here because I get downvoted anytime I bring up DJI being better. I’m going with the Osmo Pocket line in the future.

You can go cheaper, you can get a Gopro hero 3+ or 4 for like 30 euro used if you keep an eye on online marketplaces. But I think a slightly more modern version with stabilization would work better for cycling. (Starting from the hero 7 black they have HyperSmooth, if you're lucky you might be able to pick up a 7 black for around 100 euro).

Indeed, they released a 3+ which had very little improvements on the 3 just to save the yearly cycle. Really weird...not to see at least a 13+
