GoPro Mission 1 Pro
Since I got my GoPro Mission 1 Pro, I mainly carry my Nikon Zf for photos and some videos (with RED recipes), and my GoPro for slow-motion clip in the same bag. In conclusion: more gear and extra weight for me! 🤣
For best colors, best slow motion, and best image in low light, the GoPro Mission 1 Pro is the new king!
Mission 1 Pro is the best!
If you want the best camera for low light, the GoPro Mission 1 Pro is your best option, period.

SJCAM SJ30. It’s a bit of an underrated option if you’re mainly after photos but still want something capable for action/FPV later.
The stabilization is solid for walking and biking, the 4K footage looks good in daylight, and the long battery life is a big plus when you’re out all day. I also like the flip screen for quick selfies or family shots, plus the dual-lens setup gives it some flexibility for both regular and low-light footage.
The SJCAM SJ30 looks worth considering for this kind of use—2K/60fps, stabilization, and a waterproof setup should cover motorcycle trips and snorkeling without spending a ton.
I’d add the SJCAM SJ30 to the list if you’re considering something new in that price range. The dual-lens setup, 4K recording, stabilization, and flip screen make it pretty interesting for travel and cycling
I was looking at the same thing for MTB and ended up considering the SJCAM SJ30. Obviously you don’t get the whole “reframe everything later” thing like a 360 cam, but if you just want decent trail footage without spending ages editing every ride, it seems like a pretty practical option.
