Get him the Lit if he uses it like crazy and loves it then upgrade at birthday but just see how often he uses it and charging is simple. If he was 16 I’d say a bigger one but only 12 doesn’t need to be too complicated.

The ways I’ve been using Lit can’t be replaced with a smartphone - • Leaving it underwater for an hour with the LEDs illuminated to record the animals that live on the bed of my backyard pond • Mounting it underneath my motorcycle at night to illuminate the suspension / undercarriage on the freeway These are things I could also do with a flagship Hero model + Light Mod, but not with a smartphone, and Lit’s size is nice. Not sure it really justifies the product overall, but just sharing some examples. I’ll post some footage soon

I have a Hero Lit to complement my Hero 9 (should probably upgrade that one..). It doesn’t have all of the features, but is absolutely great for the price.

For me GoPro always had the best mic/audio balance. insta always sounded baseless and sucked at eliminating wind noise as well
