Pros

  • During my bike rides, I have seen the footage of GoPro 13 looked most detailed.
  • An older GoPro like a Hero 13 or 12 would probably suit your needs fine, and be reasonably priced. As far as frame rates go, you can do 240 fps at 2.7k on both, and the Hero 13 has burst slow-mo modes for faster frame rates
  • if you like to use the same file to export a 16:9 and vertical video, you will prefer the GoPro 13, because it have a 8:7 sensor.
  • If you’re comparing those two, I think the 13 would be a better choice vs the mission. The mission is vastly bigger than the hero 13. Unless your after the 960 slomo the 13 has just about everything the mission has. And it’s half the c...
  • I think you want the GoPro 13 or any DJI product of similar cost.

Cons

  • had looked into the gopro 13 as well, but had a smaller sensor and that also means more blur and worse stabilisation in general as it would need to expose for longer per frame
  • gopro 13 has a worse sensor than even the Action 4 and they have bad overheating
  • Just don’t expect it to do well in low light, but neither does that GoPro.
  • DJI Osmo Action 4-6; GoPro Hero 11-13 were all nice, but these were more like small improvements rather than a real generational/ innovational jump.
  • Whatever you do, DON’T get a GoPro Hero 13. It just overheats like crazy! I even tried it in an ACed room?!

Action 4 overheats WAY more easily than Hero 13, not to mention Mission.

If you have a GoPro 12 or 13, you can get the Ultra Wide Lens Mod (Mod Lens 2.0 for the GP12). Combined with the 8:7 sensor, it’s the best compromise between an action cam and a 360 camera (better image quality and less editing).

Gopro 11 or 13. Purely because I like the software better and dislike the marketing tactics of insta/dji.
