• Query: best action cameras

Relevant: true Importance: 7

Notes:

• The post on Reddit is asking for the best action camera for vlogging, with specific features such as good battery life, compact size, external mic capability, and good looking footage.
• Some users have suggested GoPro and DJI as good options, with the former needing the media mod for external microphone support.
• Another user mentioned Insta360 as a possible option stating that it is much more than just a 360 camera, and it also has a 1” sensor module that gives great footage.
• One user suggested the Sony RX0mk2 as a great upgrade over GoPro, but it is relatively expensive.
• The Insta360 One RS with 4K boost lens mod and mic adapter is the newest entry into the market and appears to be a solid pick if the user’s needs go beyond just walk and talk vlogging.
• The older Insta360 One R is a good option if the price is right, with the only downside being the lack of external microphone support due to the adapter being out of stock.
• The DJI is the simplest option for users who just want to shoot themselves walking and talking.
• Some users suggested that power banks can be used to extend the battery life of action cameras, especially if water resistance is not a concern.
• One user mentioned that if the user doesn’t need 360 footage, they wouldn’t recommend primarily using a 360 camera.
• The user also did not care about 60FPS 4K footage, but instead wanted good looking HD footage.
• The stabilization should be there, but it doesn’t have to be top of the line as the user is just walking.
• Some users have posted links to videos showcasing the footage quality of the action cameras they suggested.
• Users have provided suggestions and their opinions based on their experiences using different cameras, but ultimately, the best camera for the user depends on their specific needs and preferences.
