@@dronemagicnl4986 trump wasnt self made, but he certainly did far more with the business his father gave him than his father did. trumps not just riding a wave of hype while spending all the money like this guy. trump builds things. trump knows he has to make relationships and stay grounded. unlike this guy. your comparing apples and frat bros.

What did you do in your late 20's? He found success because he went looking for it. He did not bum around. He tried his hands at different things until something stuff. This is the difference between people who succeed and people who complain online. Yes, he was rich. Are you broke? Do you not have money? Situational differences? Okay great.

I'm a long time Gopro user, owned 12 different of their action camera for my business, Gopro had an edge over the competition for a long time, they had the single best action camera on the market, this year is where they lost the game to DJI with their amazing Action 5, Insta 360 to release the Ace Pro 2 in the next few weeks, they are now 3 in the game and fans are tired of having to re-buy all the same accessories every two years and they swap batteries for nothing. Trying to milk customer to their last buck instead of creating the best camera like their competitor is what brought them to their demise in the end
Thats my case as well. I have GP9 and I was waiting for 13 (I dont have the need to buy every year) - what we got is GP12 with new battery shape and new accesories named GP13. But the whole investment I needed to make was around 1000+ USD. So fck it, I bought 2 new enduro batteries and call it a day :) I will see what the market will bring next year, currently for me as an amateur there is no justification to spend more money.
@@lukasvrana6388true. They took out the gps in the 12 and brought it back in the 13. But they changed battery shapes and accessories. Gonna skip all those. I got h10b and h12b as well as the older h7b with the karma grip. They work just fine. No need to upgrade.
Personally, I think overpricing the newer camera's while at the same time lowering the quality also played a huge part in GoPro going downhill. Whereas the cameras up to and including the GoPro 9 still gave good value for the money and were of high quality, from its successor on the quality seems to have dropped in favour of adding more gimmicks that nobody asked for and the price to quality ratio went the wrong way. As happens so many times, greed seems to have won and the results are obvious.
The only reason GoPro still exists is their users haven't tried a DJI or Insta360 product. Using a GoPro is way, way more difficult than it needs to be.
that and they created a whole new market of proprietary attachments and accessories that up until a few years ago was their only saving grace even though they sucked.
I had used gopros for a while, but when i got my Insta360 x4, I knew ill never go back to using my gopro. It now collects dust while my Insta360 is my go-to. I take it everywhere, and is really easy to use and setup.
@octny he doesn't need to compare it to another 360 camera. He had a gopro and now has an jnsta360 x4 and likes it way better. He's obviously, happy with his choice. I'm in thr same situation. I had 2 go pro and now 2 insta360 camera I will never look back
i bought a gopro and its a great camera for quility but everything on the gopro app is paid things and the camera just didnt record all the time, i switch over to insta360 and wow the amount of things you can do for free on your camera from the app without any sub like gopro and it records everything i want, i can see gopro stuff going down hill, i have two customers with the gopro karma drone and both drones are dead they wont pair to the remote, gopro support won't help with this and the dromes are only 2 years old been used one summer
I bought two knock-offs over the period of Go-Pro history, and they record all the time unfailing. The video quality is slightly less but hardly noticeable. I've been very happy with them over the years and they cost a fraction of a Go-Pro.
Who else is kicking themselfs over the gopro, im sure like many surfers, all we had in the early 90s was disposable waterproof 35mm cameras to capture our surfing action. I was 15years old in high school and through my technical design elective class I would pull apart the disposable cameras housings and with my teacher started designing a reusable housing for a top brand instamatic camera of the 90s. As I finally got the design down and submitted it for my high school certificate, go pro 1 was released! I was devastated! Everyone at school who was interested in the camera housing I made instantly laughed at me that someone had done the same and made a business out of it and not just a highschool project. I had plans to make it a business as photography was my passion allready with SLRs and water housings for professional cameras. Ever since then I look at gopro and think, if only a year earlier and I didn't was 3years at school designing it, my dream would have been realised
All go pros release did was show you there was an insane market for what you were persuing, and a very low in competition at the time since nobody was really making em, and still today there’s plenty of innovation to be made in the industry, never too late to Persue your dreams
I started off with a number of cheap “gopro clones” and eventually decided none of them were worth it and went through a period when I bought nothing but real GoPros. I would record with a Hero 5 Session on my head, and a Hero 5 Black or Hero 7 Black on the bow of my kayak. Then I got into 360 degree cameras like the Garmin VIRB360 and Insta360 X3. I was always disappointed with the fact that every action camera maker, especially GoPro, thought that all their customers wanted to shoot short videos with time to cool down and change batteries between shots, when I was trying to record 2+ hour kayak races. Most cameras had somewhere around 80-90 minutes battery life, if they didn’t overheat first. I ruined a couple of cameras trying to provide external power because doing so usually meant leaving off a door and water would get in. Or they’d just overheat and shut down. The VIRB360 had an easy and waterproof way to provide external power, and it never overheated, but the picture quality left a lot to be desired. I’m really excited about the new DJI Osmo Action that’s advertising a 4 hour battery life.
they do and that's because they were designed to be cooled by the activity in which they recorded. such as wind surfing or skiing or attached to a helmet getting all that cool air blown over it. the second people started using them for anything else they found they overheat immediately as they still do.
@@ObichamLutenica There's no problems when you're doing action sports that actively cools the camera. While I don't own a Hero 13, I do own a Hero 11 and have experienced no problems using it while skiing.
I've been using GoPro cameras since the Hero 2 and although I don't have the latest one (I have the Hero 9 black now) I've never experienced overheating because of what @GoldenTeeTV says, I record motorcycle rides and the wind keeps it from overheating.
In fact, overheating problems start much further back in time. I had a Hero 7 and it was a terrible camera. Yes it had very good stabilization, but the camera connectivity, almost never worked properly, often overheated and drained the battery while turned off. I think the problem with the drone is of a similar nature, because if it was the battery, it wouldn't record its fall. It's just that GoPro skimps on hardware and expects this gadget to handle fairly demanding software. I have both Insta360 and DJI cameras, I would definitely not buy a GoPro again.
You summarized it perfectly. GoPro was a great innovation when it first came out, and then they went the Apple way thinking their products would sell just because of the brand. Having a little competition levels out the playing field.
The gopro session is/was one of the most commonly used camera for FPV pilots. I still own a session 5 and fpv pilots for years are upset they never released new versions and discontinued it.
I owned the first 3 digital hero cameras from GoPro. I can still remember one of the first ads with glitchmob and surfer Alana Blanchard. That shit was so dope back then. Today, however, DJI takes the cake for price, video quality, and dependability. Sorry gopro.
GoPro is a fiasco. As soon as I saw the first images of Drone Karma I immediately said I didn't like it. My surprise was how right I was. Just by just seeing what the drone looks like. It was a much bigger fiasco than I imagined. The Karma Grip for me was the best GoPro made. It worked. I bought the GoPro 7 HERO Black when it came out on the market because there was no camera with such good digital stabilization at the time. After some time, after the GoPro HERO 7 Black constantly crashed during operation and overheated, it simply stopped working. In desperation I bought another one. What a mistake I made! This second GoPro HERO 7 Black freezes after a few seconds after being turned on! And these types of problems continued in the following models!! How is this possible? I purchased two Dji Osmo Action at the time without any problems and I still use them today! GOPRO FOR ME NEVER AGAIN!!! I WASTE A LOT OF MONEY!!
One of the features I thought would be useful in the GoPro was "pre-record". Unfortunately it stops after 15 minutes which defeats the purpose of having such a feature. The Insta360 Ace Pro and X4 cameras have pre-record and it stays on until the batteries run out. I've long since sold any of the GoPros I had. They were good for their time, but times have changed.
over the last two weeks we were discussing this topic a lot within our team. GoPro, DJI or Insta360? in the end it‘s a question of what you‘ll use the camera for. the GoPro‘s sensor is too small, but it‘s the best package, since it‘s quite good in everything. Not trusting it‘s LOG profile, but HDR is pretty nice. Low light capability of the DJI is unmatched and the image quality of the Insta360 is impeccable. they all have their pros and cons and it‘s really up to which ecosystem you prefer and which features you need most. I would go for the DJI (piloting DJI drones for years and love their image processing and LOG profiles), my colleague is a hardcore GoPro user for years now. So in the end it‘s a decision between three very good products.
@@SunteamFilms for you it might be .. however for a mass consumer market it’s probably more important not having an ecosystem. Using some sort of action cam as a casual thing most consumers just want to be able to record and edit, not require an app with tos etc Your typical average surfer or mountain biker just wants something to watch and perhaps share with close family and friends.. probably merged with some phone footage at times. This is what killed GoPro for me and I just ended up with a generic Chinese camera .. lower quality in every way but the best part was it was generic, no special apps .. i could use video editing software I was already familiar with, without some complex process I think this is where the mass market is .. not people your level who need some extras.
Considering the dji action 5 just released and its already being claimed as one of it not the best action camera on the market for its price… yeah its just simply better then the lacking gopro 13
In 2015, the first major competitor for GoPro hit the markets, called the Replay (720p/240 max) and the ReplayXD (1080p/60 max) - it was housed in a 20mm/25mm aluminium tube, was waterproof to 10m as-is, and to 15m with the installation of a small rubber band to cover the microphone hole. It had a waterproof case that made it watertight to 100m. With a smaller front-face than the GoPro, it was very popular with surfers and skiers - water and snow - due to the reduced wind resistance. This was right around the time GP was starting to falter, and this camera, being incredibly popular with extreme sportsters, helped kick the anthill out from under GP. Excepting that omission, good video buddy. Nicely paced, good edits, no stupid effects for-the-clicks. Keep it up! +sub +like
I’ve been a loyal customer since the beginning of GoPro and have every single model with multiple models of each release. I’ve been a “subscription” member ever since they launched it and even signed up for the premium subscription service for $100/annually. After GoPro released the 12 model, I was disappointed and went out and purchased the Osmo Action 4 and the Insta 360 Ace Pro which were much better quality for shooting underwater videos! I was disappointed with the GoPro 13 specs and decided to not purchase it this year and will probably purchase the competitor DJI Osmo Action 5 and the Insta 360 Ace Pro 2.
Exactly owned GP 10 and seeing the low light capabilities mediocre against DJI 5 well this probably my farewell to GoPro..and unresponsive touch screen give me headache
I don't think dji/insta are the real issue. It's the $14 camera on ali express. I know so many people who have them as well as a GoPro for shots they don't want to risk the expensive GoPro. Then when they see almost identical results their next purchase is not GoPro - it's an ali express special that is so cheep it's almost disposable.
These companies dont care for people who take the cheap route their target market are those who care for quality. So yes dji and insta are one of the highest issues.
I have had the Hero 3, Hero 4 silver & now the Hero 12 Black, I have loved them all. I use them on my helmet when riding my bike manly for my protection from other road users. I think the Hero 12 is an amazing camera & i have not had any issues with it at all.
I liked the video and enjoyed the overall quality. Your storytelling is top-notch and shows a lot of thought and consideration went into how things progressively unfold. The sound effects were very high volume and broke immersion, as well as the music in the background competing with your voice. Though honestly, they feel minor compared to the great job. Subscribed and can't wait to see what's next
Thank you very much for the amazing feedback! I will be definitly working towards improving the audio. Thanks for the support by subscribing. Some exciting projects are on the way🙌🏻
@@Minutes_of_Riches yes i agree with the sound effects were +db on an already loud video of normalized -0.6 so definitely normalize those peeks. killed me :) but otherwise good vid
I loved GoPro as a brand when I bought my GoPro 4 Black back in the day. Sure it was sometimes getting hot and the battery lasted around 1 hour but it worked great. Cool videos and pictures. It started getting worse after around a year with the app. You now have to have an Internet connection to LOCALLY transfer files. That is just stupid. The camera pairing would also sometimes just not work at all. Then the PC Software became more and more crash prone for me. Quite frustrating. In the end I switch to an older version of the app (possible with old Android apk files) and used another PC software. I always checked out reviews of new cameras but the quality was no longer there. Their current offering is far to expensive.
@@themasterofdisaster1 it’s not just the price .. it’s the pay on top and use their app put me off - then I got cheap Chinese ones much cheaper and probably not as good quality but I’m just a consumer .. I’d pay extra not to have a subscription or app but the Chinese ones are cheaper so that’s almost an added bonus
I like how you captured the defensive and elusive approach at 5:17 with both instances of scratching his ear and having his leg in-between him and the interviewer 👍
I have Hero 4 black, Hero 5 black and Hero 7 Black for professional shoots, Hero 4 and Hero 5 are trustworthy. I've shot continuous time-lapse for 10 days multiple times; Hero 5 and Hero 4 did the job; Hero 7 failed on the 2nd day due to overheating. Funny thing is 4 & 5 are purchased as used products; Hero 5 has replaced display; the previous owner sold it due to a broken flex cable; I replaced the display. I've been following GoPro for the last 5 years and looking at Hero 13, I don't see any innovation; only lens thing is new. As a professional cinematographer, I was expecting bigger sensor or equal to DJI Osmo 4, But I'm disappointed... Now looking forward to Osmo 5.
I got h3b, h4b, h6b, h7b, h10b and h12b so i know that each has its own features. Going from 7 to even 10 let alone 13 is a big step. So you cannot tell me that. True is that they move very slowly with their upgrades.
GoPro was truly at the pinnacle with the GoPro 4, with every gadget and tech store filled with GoPro accessories and RUclips brimming with GoPro-generated content. However, instead of leading the market in active video usage like DJI, they fell behind and began to follow the market trends. The last Gopro i bought was gopro session 2 due of how practical it was to carry around. The action camera I purchased after session was the Osmo Action, primarily because it features a front screen and interchangeable lens protection-two key aspects that the GoPro lacks.
I was a long-time customer since the release of the Hero 2. I also had the Hero 3, 4, 8, 10, and 12, but I returned the Hero 12 because I had very bad customer service. It had been a nightmare. I also hated that the camera would often shut itself off, even when it had 30% battery, or that it would overheat. I lost so many chances for once-in-a-lifetime clips. I just didn't trust it anymore. I switched to DJI with the Action 4 and also ordered another Action 4. DJI has the best customer service that I have ever seen. They have a "Care Refresh" service where it costs just €19 to replace a damaged camera, but I have never broken one. The editing app is also free. Batterys last very long, no overheat issues, magnetic quick connection and other good stuff
I've been using gopro since 2009. Got my first one from a buddy. I still have it to this day. I just picked up a hero 11 black on sale. I only stick with it because I know it'll work. I'm a Combat Engineer and use my gopros for demo ranges. I clamp my old hero plus just a couple feet from explosives and it doesn't skip a beat. I had to go on a scavenger hunt for one of them a while back because the clamp i was using broke off when the charge went off and sent it flying. I love em. The old ones die too fast because of their age. This is why I got the 11, to keep a plethora of charged batteries on hand. Maybe there are better cameras out there. I just don't wanna put the money in something I don't have experience with. Great video though. I knew nothing about the CEO
The insta360 is amazing and only getting better. I tried the gopro fusion 360 years ago, and it was a mess. Often taking half a day to copy the files to a PC ready for editing. The insta360 took a few minutes, plus the desktop app is staggeringly easy to use. The gopro then required you to use Adobe software to manage the video. The insta360 did it all in app on a PC or phone, for free. By the way, aren't you the same guy that talks about classic art?
I bought a GoPro 10 and regret everything about it. It keeps freezing and overheating. It is a terrible product. I will never buy anything from GoPro again.
Yeah...countless of us have had the overheating/freezing gopro that they never fessed up to. Always tried to play it down to it being a issue with your memory card or something. That was the beginning of the end for me with my relationship with them. DJI and Insta now out innovating them every turn.
2 yrs ago, I bought DJI OsmoAction3, because it was cheaper than GoPro and I also already owned a DJI Mini drone… And it's a great camera, particularly when it comes to attachments - those magnetic clasps are AMAZING… No surprise, that GoPro is going down, being replaced by more field-flexible DJI and Insta360…
I actually really liked GoPro Session, but I thought it was crazy selling as high as the main flagship. My job at the time purchased one and entrusted me to use it. It was a great camera and I wished a newer version of it. Sometimes I just needed a smaller camera from a different angle. Also the water proof housing made it ready to go at any moment. Which was nice.
Most manufacturers do no product testing before sending it to manufacturing for a run of 100K units, letting customers do the quality control for them. It explains the crushable waterproof camera and the drone with battery bombs. My entire RUclips channel is shot on cheap Chinese action cameras and old 1080HD camcorders because they are cheap but they get the same quality control. Many knockoff products come off the same assembly line as the name brand. They just keep running the line after the name brand customer has finished paying for the setup costs.
i remember getting my hero 3+ BE in 2013 and the unboxing itself was a whole experience, clear plastic top, included remote, it was incredible, the 12’s box looks like a chinese action cam for 40 dollars
I'm running a osmo action 5 and the battery still has 30% left after filling a 128gb card with 4k footage, then it charges back to full in 45 mins. The software is smooth in use, no crashing. It boots up instantly. Does everything a GoPro should have been doing 3 years ago.
I use cameras and action cameras entirely while scuba diving. I had a GoPro10 Black in a dive housing. It didn't take long before it started giving me problems. The problems would be: 1. When turning it on, it would show a green screen and then start to turn off and on by itself. I would have to time pressing the power button for an extended amount of time to make it turn off, then try to turn it on again and hope for the best. 2. I would get a "Repairing File" message as I started a video recording. Time to power off and on again and hope that 1. didn't occur. 3. It would drain batteries quite fast and the above described problems would occur more often when battery was below 60-70%. I started watching videos about the DJI OSMO ACTION 4, sold the GoPro to a friend and bought the DJI which I have been very happy with since.
I've done a few dives with a Hero 5 and was happy with the camera, no issues. Looking at all the reports it would seem things went south somewhen between the 5 and 10. The Hero 13 just released got decent reviews however I suspect the reviewers so far might be a quire paid to sing the praise so let's wait for independent reviews.
@@ralfbaechlei skipped the 5 since it was not that good. The 10 is great. Works perfectly, better even than the 12. But at first it had a buggy firmware that i was about to return it.
i remember getting the gopro hero 5 after having used a 3+ silver for a while, and it had that weird issue that you could hear every single touch to it super loud on the recording. it basically made handheld vlogging impossible. i switched to dji after that and i am now on the action 5 pro and love it
I didn’t even know GoPro had any real competition till I had an issue purchasing the 13 and had to deal with their terrible atrocious customer service (they make Comcast look pleasant). Sent them the whole large order back unopened and terminated a 10+ year relationship with buying the newest models every year. Sounds like it was good timing as well. Now I just have to decide if Insta360 or DJI gets my business from now on.
I was a huge fan of GoPro as a kid and I got excited each year if my parents or someone in my family got one, but the last one we purchased new was the Hero 8 Black. I have felt like since the 8/9 the innovation has dropped off a cliff, there are such minor improvements that seem to be matched by minor drawbacks with each new generation. I plan on getting a used 12 now that the 13 is out just to save some money and get the picture quality upgrade, but it’s not something I’m really excited for anymore.
I just checked the specs of the DJI Osmo 5 and compared it with the GoPro Hero 13. Pros for DJI Osmo 5: + better battery life + sustains double the water pressure to GoPro (GoPro 13 supports 10 meters without a case, while Osmo 5 supports 20) + built in pressure gauge + built in storage (47 GB) + battery runs at colder temperatures + larger image sensor (40 MP 1/1.3" vs. GoPro Hero 13s 27MP 1/1.9") Cons for DJI: - No 5.3K video at any FPS (GoPro Hero 13 supports 5.3K at 60 fps). - No subscription model that offers cheaper hardware (A single curved adhesive base kits costs the same as 6 adhesive bases for GoPro with a subscription). - Only 240 fps at 1080p slowmotion, compared to GoPros 400 fps at 720p, 360 fps at 900p at 15 seconds as well as GoPros 120 fps at 5.3K for 5 seconds. - less lens mods than GoPro (Osmo 5 have NDR filters, but no diving filters and no macro, telephoto, wide angle, smart motion blur or anamorphic lens). - No dedicated HDR modes - Shooting while charging disables two of the Osmo 5s functions if the battery isn't installed (compared to GoPros magnetic door latch system, which only works slightly worse without a battery). - Burst slow motion uses interpolation rather than real frames (interpolation is the synthesizing of additional frames, aka errors can occur that makes it look weird). - Fewer accessories than GoPro. At the end of the day it comes down to preferences. I personally prefer GoPro because of its higher camera resolution, better HDR options, better slow motion modes and better accessories, all at a cheaper price than DJI, simply because I believe the core reason to buy a video camera should be based on the capabilities of shooting quality video and not the capabilities of the battery or image stills. I use my GoPro primarily for skiing and shooting DIY videos. I can use my phone for higher pixel still shots (Samsing Ultra S21 boasts a 120 MP main lens, triple the size of DJI) and I don't mind changing batteries while Skiing. When recording DIY videos I can keep my GoPro constantly powered by using the magnetic door system and livestream the video to a PC which then screen records it. The Insta360 looks like a good competitor, albeit mostly for night time shots, as it too lacks the amount of accessories, lenses, mods, filters and exclusive prices of GoPros subscription model. I'll likely get an Insta for nighttime shots. But for everything during the day? GoPro all the way!
Great video mate, you're on the up for sure! GoPro were truely innovative early on but as with any innovator competetors come chasing eating away at that initial success. Something that has always bothered me about GoPro is the arogance as a brand, comparatively DJI do zero flashy marketing but their products and price do the talking, Insta360 are pretty shadey with their marketing unfortunately. I think another big factor is that camera tech has slowed down in recent years, the annual upgrade cycle is dead, you can create amazing content that stands up using gear that's a few years old still.
Had GoPro 3, 5, Xiaomi action, Sony action cam, and than I bought insta 360 x3. Battery life is just amazing I can film pov from my helmet of the whole hour session on a track without a battery swap. I can record 360 and than cut the video like I want, or decide in the beginning which lense and aspect ratio I want and get even more battery life out of it. Yeah it lacks a bit in dark conditions, but with a bit of twicking you can get a good picture.
I’ve had almost every GoPro released since the Hero 3! GoPro used to be excellent, the flagship of the market, but 8 months ago, I bought the GoPro 11 Mini. I use it for POV surfing (shoutout to my channel), and after 3 months, the problems began. To summarize, I’m currently on my 6th exchange under warranty. At least I can’t say the support is bad because they always honor the warranty. After march 2025 I'll have to look for other brand....
I have an old core xy machine i got from Ali Express years ago that's just been sitting there since I got my x1c. Would it be hard to swap out the board and tool head and convert it to clipper? Kinda jimmy rig together a voron?
i owned one gopro, a hero 5, and i was really happy with everything about it, except for the pretty clunky interface, and worst of all the very poor battery life. but the image quality was excellent. it really felt like a premium well made product.
Insta360 was a game changer. I've their products since their launch. I still use the original One R, which i have two of, to this day for my RUclips videos. Also has a fantastic free editing Studio. My last GoPro was the 4
The Session 4 was beloved by FPV drone pilots because the light weight. It had marketplace. After that we used to "strip" standard camera to "naked GP" reach less than 40gr weight. Go Pro released their "naked" version for the next generations for the same price mocking us... Meanwhile DJI gave us Action 2 50gr all capable camera, and completely obliterated GP with Action 3 and 4.
his dad even today must still be very happy with his seed capital .... Just bought an insta 360 X4 unboxed it yesterday along with Bushman Panoramic, Tilta and K & F products .... Yesterday was a great day
I had a GoPro10 and I can say that it was pretty good action camera but after few months that I bought it,battery problems started and sometimes problems with unjustified recordings stops.I keep this camera for almost 2years until I lost it.After few months and some research I decided to buy the new GoPro 12.It was summer season so I used my camera for windsurfing,sailing,snorkel etc. Very soon I noticed problems with water inside the camera especially between battery (room) and door,I look about it and learned that was factory issue.(first big disappointment) After few weeks that I was still thinking how sad was the brand new camera had that problem,said to me self try to see what is going on inside the lens. So I twisted and open the protective cover of the lens and I saw Rust and humidity. That was my biggest and last disappointment for GoPro brand. Just to clarify I bought the camera after 1-2month of the release day from the official site with Subscription (😂) and I never open the protective cover of the lens(until the day that I said above). I think now is my time to try some other brands,like it or not .!
I have a number of gopros. They sit on a shelf and I've made the switch over to the insta360 as it offers a much better recording and editing experience.
How does the GoPro compare VS the DJI Action Cam 3/4, or the Insta360? Can the Insta360 be used as a regular action camera if you want or is it always 360-degree videos? How is that too edit?
The DJI action blows the GoPro out of the water in nearly every category. GoPro got lazy because they think “people will buy it because it’s GoPro” but that’s not the case when competitors have better products for better prices
I have a Hero 7 black. Bought it when it was the newest hot toy for a seaside vacation, then used it for some home remodeling videos, some photos and family celebration memories. The results I get from it are great, even now in 2024. It's robust, water proof and with descent battery life. However - it I leave the memory card in when the camera is off - it heaths up and drains the battery. It's not the card, I've tried others. And I hear similar problems with newer models. The camera isn't exactly cheap so such problems are not acceptable. I probably won't be buying another gopro. Maybe that's also a reason for their financial downfall.
I would have to go with DJI just because they are in trouble within the USA with the drones. As in i would support them because there is no good reason to shun them in the market.
I had 3 hereo 4s, a session, the drone with a 5, a 6, and loads of accessories. but the subscriptions, dropping the products i actually enjoyed, and the reviews talking about all the issues they have been having have kept me from buying anything else. I was going to buy the gopro 360, but it's one of the units they've discontinued. Probably going to get an insta360 for this snowboard season and to se what else i can do with it.
I bought a camera a few years ago on that no question asked free camera replacement. Once I needed to get a replacement they wanted a £100 fee to replace it. I’m done with GoPro. Seem to never be trust worthy on their word. For such a big company they run it like a small time local business on the street.
Loved gopro but through constant tech problems, had to take a leap of faith to DJI. DJI have been wonderful. No issues at all. It just works. Sorry gopro, you missed the ball.
Imagine being in debt and jobless and the only thing option you see is to go on a surfing trip with your friends... having rich parents is hard
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only rich Americans i guess
yeah life is tough Ive Just ordered a DJI action 5 on the back of this, the owner is an ass hat like Elon
@@Bajinowhereyeah, Europeans only see their parents 3 times a year and they live 45 minutes away.
Lost 3 milli but can still afford to go to the other side of the world surfing lol
I love the transition from 'he sold beads out of his van and made 10k" to "he decided to borrow 200k from his rich af father"
😂😂😂
I think it was more his fathers demand that he got a job working 9-5. and gave him till he was 30 to come up with a moneymaker, else he had to work 9-5
he borrowed 3 mil
Self made man like Trump
like he demanded this documentary to at least mention, well, he flipped a few burgers before calling dad....
@@dronemagicnl4986 trump wasnt self made, but he certainly did far more with the business his father gave him than his father did. trumps not just riding a wave of hype while spending all the money like this guy. trump builds things. trump knows he has to make relationships and stay grounded. unlike this guy. your comparing apples and frat bros.
The story of yet another rich kid who bummed around until his late 20's and had unlimited capitol at his side. I bet it was his farther who said you got till 30, not him!
What did you do in your late 20's? He found success because he went looking for it.
He did not bum around. He tried his hands at different things until something stuff. This is the difference between people who succeed and people who complain online. Yes, he was rich. Are you broke? Do you not have money? Situational differences?
Okay great. So your death bed will read: "Excuses."
Stop shaming people who try.
how the fuck you gonna wait till 3:20 to mention his dad was an investment banker😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hahahahahahaha. i was just looking for this comment🤣
Had a 3.9 million loss by 28 as well. Guess money does grow on trees. Not one of us haha.

I'm a long time Gopro user, owned 12 different of their action camera for my business, Gopro had an edge over the competition for a long time, they had the single best action camera on the market, this year is where they lost the game to DJI with their amazing Action 5, Insta 360 to release the Ace Pro 2 in the next few weeks, they are now 3 in the game and fans are tired of having to re-buy all the same accessories every two years and they swap batteries for nothing. Trying to milk customer to their last buck instead of creating the best camera like their competitor is what brought them to their demise in the end
Thats my case as well. I have GP9 and I was waiting for 13 (I dont have the need to buy every year) - what we got is GP12 with new battery shape and new accesories named GP13. But the whole investment I needed to make was around 1000+ USD. So fck it, I bought 2 new enduro batteries and call it a day :) I will see what the market will bring next year, currently for me as an amateur there is no justification to spend more money.
@@lukasvrana6388true. They took out the gps in the 12 and brought it back in the 13. But they changed battery shapes and accessories. Gonna skip all those. I got h10b and h12b as well as the older h7b with the karma grip. They work just fine. No need to upgrade.
Personally, I think overpricing the newer camera's while at the same time lowering the quality also played a huge part in GoPro going downhill. Whereas the cameras up to and including the GoPro 9 still gave good value for the money and were of high quality, from its successor on the quality seems to have dropped in favour of adding more gimmicks that nobody asked for and the price to quality ratio went the wrong way. As happens so many times, greed seems to have won and the results are obvious.
Agree 100%. Still have to use a USB cable or SD card reader to transfer files is pretty lame. I'm done w GoPro.
The only reason GoPro still exists is their users haven't tried a DJI or Insta360 product.
Using a GoPro is way, way more difficult than it needs to be.
that and they created a whole new market of proprietary attachments and accessories that up until a few years ago was their only saving grace even though they sucked.
true, it was crappy since I got gopro 3.. dji has much better ux..
I'd rather use a runcam lmao
I just bought a DJI Osmo Action4 and am super happy with it. It does so many things and yet is so easy to use.
I've tried, Insta360 is overpriced POS footage quality is a joke, DJI is ok, but GoPro is this the GOAT
I had used gopros for a while, but when i got my Insta360 x4, I knew ill never go back to using my gopro. It now collects dust while my Insta360 is my go-to. I take it everywhere, and is really easy to use and setup.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
you sound like a paid shill. no one talks like that naturally.
same. insta360 x4 is far better and far superior
Compare it to another 360 camera. They are two different cameras. Wait for Max 2.0 to compare it to.
@octny he doesn't need to compare it to another 360 camera. He had a gopro and now has an jnsta360 x4 and likes it way better. He's obviously, happy with his choice. I'm in thr same situation. I had 2 go pro and now 2 insta360 camera I will never look back
i bought a gopro and its a great camera for quility but everything on the gopro app is paid things and the camera just didnt record all the time, i switch over to insta360 and wow the amount of things you can do for free on your camera from the app without any sub like gopro and it records everything i want, i can see gopro stuff going down hill, i have two customers with the gopro karma drone and both drones are dead they wont pair to the remote, gopro support won't help with this and the dromes are only 2 years old been used one summer
Insta360 is so nice, dji has some nice stuff as well. Go pro is old news
Insta360 is so nice, dji has some nice stuff as well. Go pro is old news
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's always interesting to hear them. The Insta360 sounds like it’s really meeting your needs!
Oh yes... The support of GoPro sux :D
I bought two knock-offs over the period of Go-Pro history, and they record all the time unfailing. The video quality is slightly less but hardly noticeable. I've been very happy with them over the years and they cost a fraction of a Go-Pro.
The DJI Action 4/5 are superior cameras in my opinion. GoPro was first in the space but DJI has taken the lead in innovation some time ago.
tell that to surfers no hate on dji tho
i like DJI more
overhoul dji action 3 is far more better than gopro 13
Who else is kicking themselfs over the gopro, im sure like many surfers, all we had in the early 90s was disposable waterproof 35mm cameras to capture our surfing action. I was 15years old in high school and through my technical design elective class I would pull apart the disposable cameras housings and with my teacher started designing a reusable housing for a top brand instamatic camera of the 90s. As I finally got the design down and submitted it for my high school certificate, go pro 1 was released! I was devastated! Everyone at school who was interested in the camera housing I made instantly laughed at me that someone had done the same and made a business out of it and not just a highschool project. I had plans to make it a business as photography was my passion allready with SLRs and water housings for professional cameras. Ever since then I look at gopro and think, if only a year earlier and I didn't was 3years at school designing it, my dream would have been realised
All go pros release did was show you there was an insane market for what you were persuing, and a very low in competition at the time since nobody was really making em, and still today there’s plenty of innovation to be made in the industry, never too late to Persue your dreams
Bro that means you probably have some more ideas your sitting on don’t give up!
GoPro is nostalgic, but DJI is superior.
DJI owns Hassleblad.. that's pretty tough to beat.
Real working man struggling to survive and going on surfing trips to Australia
I started off with a number of cheap “gopro clones” and eventually decided none of them were worth it and went through a period when I bought nothing but real GoPros. I would record with a Hero 5 Session on my head, and a Hero 5 Black or Hero 7 Black on the bow of my kayak. Then I got into 360 degree cameras like the Garmin VIRB360 and Insta360 X3. I was always disappointed with the fact that every action camera maker, especially GoPro, thought that all their customers wanted to shoot short videos with time to cool down and change batteries between shots, when I was trying to record 2+ hour kayak races. Most cameras had somewhere around 80-90 minutes battery life, if they didn’t overheat first. I ruined a couple of cameras trying to provide external power because doing so usually meant leaving off a door and water would get in. Or they’d just overheat and shut down. The VIRB360 had an easy and waterproof way to provide external power, and it never overheated, but the picture quality left a lot to be desired. I’m really excited about the new DJI Osmo Action that’s advertising a 4 hour battery life.
I've always consistently heard GoPros had a problem with overheating
they do and that's because they were designed to be cooled by the activity in which they recorded. such as wind surfing or skiing or attached to a helmet getting all that cool air blown over it. the second people started using them for anything else they found they overheat immediately as they still do.
@@GoldenTeeTVi mean it doesn't help that the latest GoPro cameras have the same processors as 6 years ago
@@ObichamLutenica There's no problems when you're doing action sports that actively cools the camera. While I don't own a Hero 13, I do own a Hero 11 and have experienced no problems using it while skiing.
@@ObichamLutenica all camera fields have stagnated in the hardware side of things
I've been using GoPro cameras since the Hero 2 and although I don't have the latest one (I have the Hero 9 black now) I've never experienced overheating because of what @GoldenTeeTV says, I record motorcycle rides and the wind keeps it from overheating.
In fact, overheating problems start much further back in time. I had a Hero 7 and it was a terrible camera. Yes it had very good stabilization, but the camera connectivity, almost never worked properly, often overheated and drained the battery while turned off. I think the problem with the drone is of a similar nature, because if it was the battery, it wouldn't record its fall. It's just that GoPro skimps on hardware and expects this gadget to handle fairly demanding software. I have both Insta360 and DJI cameras, I would definitely not buy a GoPro again.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
You summarized it perfectly. GoPro was a great innovation when it first came out, and then they went the Apple way thinking their products would sell just because of the brand.
Having a little competition levels out the playing field.
The gopro session is/was one of the most commonly used camera for FPV pilots. I still own a session 5 and fpv pilots for years are upset they never released new versions and discontinued it.
That’s something interesting to hear!
they have released a new version for drone pilots. its just a go pro without the screens. same size as the session
I think instead of destroying GoPro he saved the company learning from former mistakes changing to whole business model in a profitable direction.
agree, the title is misleading/clickbait
I owned the first 3 digital hero cameras from GoPro. I can still remember one of the first ads with glitchmob and surfer Alana Blanchard. That shit was so dope back then. Today, however, DJI takes the cake for price, video quality, and dependability. Sorry gopro.
Nice vid! My two cents: that typing sfx with the high pitch sound is making be crazyyy, too loud and screechy.
Thank you very much! I'll definitely improve that in next videos. Thanks for the support!
Woah I wasn't expecting a channel this small! Excellent production quality, keep it up!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it, Some exciting projects are ahead, Keep in touch🙌🏻
3:19 wow, an entrepeneur who has rich parents... Who could have guessed?
Insta360 deserves a documentary of its own.
DJI
Insta360
GoPro is a fiasco. As soon as I saw the first images of Drone Karma I immediately said I didn't like it. My surprise was how right I was. Just by just seeing what the drone looks like. It was a much bigger fiasco than I imagined. The Karma Grip for me was the best GoPro made. It worked. I bought the GoPro 7 HERO Black when it came out on the market because there was no camera with such good digital stabilization at the time. After some time, after the GoPro HERO 7 Black constantly crashed during operation and overheated, it simply stopped working. In desperation I bought another one. What a mistake I made! This second GoPro HERO 7 Black freezes after a few seconds after being turned on! And these types of problems continued in the following models!! How is this possible? I purchased two Dji Osmo Action at the time without any problems and I still use them today! GOPRO FOR ME NEVER AGAIN!!! I WASTE A LOT OF MONEY!!
I have the SAME exact story! Had the hero 4 session and it was trash.. I thank them for pushing me to DJI whom I've been using for years now
@@UptownWattaold products
One of the features I thought would be useful in the GoPro was "pre-record". Unfortunately it stops after 15 minutes which defeats the purpose of having such a feature.
The Insta360 Ace Pro and X4 cameras have pre-record and it stays on until the batteries run out. I've long since sold any of the GoPros I had. They were good for their time, but times have changed.
The session is legendary in the fpv drone community lets not kid ourselves its the perfect camera to slap on a drone
over the last two weeks we were discussing this topic a lot within our team. GoPro, DJI or Insta360? in the end it‘s a question of what you‘ll use the camera for. the GoPro‘s sensor is too small, but it‘s the best package, since it‘s quite good in everything. Not trusting it‘s LOG profile, but HDR is pretty nice. Low light capability of the DJI is unmatched and the image quality of the Insta360 is impeccable. they all have their pros and cons and it‘s really up to which ecosystem you prefer and which features you need most. I would go for the DJI (piloting DJI drones for years and love their image processing and LOG profiles), my colleague is a hardcore GoPro user for years now. So in the end it‘s a decision between three very good products.
@@SunteamFilms for you it might be .. however for a mass consumer market it’s probably more important not having an ecosystem.
Using some sort of action cam as a casual thing most consumers just want to be able to record and edit, not require an app with tos etc
Your typical average surfer or mountain biker just wants something to watch and perhaps share with close family and friends.. probably merged with some phone footage at times.
This is what killed GoPro for me and I just ended up with a generic Chinese camera .. lower quality in every way but the best part was it was generic, no special apps .. i could use video editing software I was already familiar with, without some complex process
I think this is where the mass market is .. not people your level who need some extras.
Considering the dji action 5 just released and its already being claimed as one of it not the best action camera on the market for its price… yeah its just simply better then the lacking gopro 13
In 2015, the first major competitor for GoPro hit the markets, called the Replay (720p/240 max) and the ReplayXD (1080p/60 max) - it was housed in a 20mm/25mm aluminium tube, was waterproof to 10m as-is, and to 15m with the installation of a small rubber band to cover the microphone hole. It had a waterproof case that made it watertight to 100m. With a smaller front-face than the GoPro, it was very popular with surfers and skiers - water and snow - due to the reduced wind resistance. This was right around the time GP was starting to falter, and this camera, being incredibly popular with extreme sportsters, helped kick the anthill out from under GP.
Excepting that omission, good video buddy. Nicely paced, good edits, no stupid effects for-the-clicks. Keep it up! +sub +like
I’ve been a loyal customer since the beginning of GoPro and have every single model with multiple models of each release. I’ve been a “subscription” member ever since they launched it and even signed up for the premium subscription service for $100/annually. After GoPro released the 12 model, I was disappointed and went out and purchased the Osmo Action 4 and the Insta 360 Ace Pro which were much better quality for shooting underwater videos! I was disappointed with the GoPro 13 specs and decided to not purchase it this year and will probably purchase the competitor DJI Osmo Action 5 and the Insta 360 Ace Pro 2.
Exactly owned GP 10 and seeing the low light capabilities mediocre against DJI 5 well this probably my farewell to GoPro..and unresponsive touch screen give me headache
I don't think dji/insta are the real issue. It's the $14 camera on ali express. I know so many people who have them as well as a GoPro for shots they don't want to risk the expensive GoPro. Then when they see almost identical results their next purchase is not GoPro - it's an ali express special that is so cheep it's almost disposable.
These companies dont care for people who take the cheap route their target market are those who care for quality. So yes dji and insta are one of the highest issues.
I have had the Hero 3, Hero 4 silver & now the Hero 12 Black, I have loved them all. I use them on my helmet when riding my bike manly for my protection from other road users. I think the Hero 12 is an amazing camera & i have not had any issues with it at all.
I liked the video and enjoyed the overall quality. Your storytelling is top-notch and shows a lot of thought and consideration went into how things progressively unfold. The sound effects were very high volume and broke immersion, as well as the music in the background competing with your voice. Though honestly, they feel minor compared to the great job. Subscribed and can't wait to see what's next
Thank you very much for the amazing feedback! I will be definitly working towards improving the audio. Thanks for the support by subscribing. Some exciting projects are on the way🙌🏻
@@Minutes_of_Riches yes i agree with the sound effects were +db on an already loud video of normalized -0.6 so definitely normalize those peeks. killed me :) but otherwise good vid
Thank you! Yup, I'm gonna be more careful with the audio in the next video. Thanks for pointing out. Appreciate it!
I loved GoPro as a brand when I bought my GoPro 4 Black back in the day. Sure it was sometimes getting hot and the battery lasted around 1 hour but it worked great.
Cool videos and pictures.
It started getting worse after around a year with the app.
You now have to have an Internet connection to LOCALLY transfer files.
That is just stupid.
The camera pairing would also sometimes just not work at all.
Then the PC Software became more and more crash prone for me.
Quite frustrating.
In the end I switch to an older version of the app (possible with old Android apk files) and used another PC software.
I always checked out reviews of new cameras but the quality was no longer there.
Their current offering is far to expensive.
@@themasterofdisaster1 it’s not just the price .. it’s the pay on top and use their app put me off - then I got cheap Chinese ones much cheaper and probably not as good quality but I’m just a consumer .. I’d pay extra not to have a subscription or app but the Chinese ones are cheaper so that’s almost an added bonus
my dad has a gopro and it never failed him. he loves skiing but its so sad gopro went down.
I like how you captured the defensive and elusive approach at 5:17 with both instances of scratching his ear and having his leg in-between him and the interviewer 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
The GoPro session was a game changer in the FPV community. I miss it very much.
I have Hero 4 black, Hero 5 black and Hero 7 Black for professional shoots, Hero 4 and Hero 5 are trustworthy. I've shot continuous time-lapse for 10 days multiple times; Hero 5 and Hero 4 did the job; Hero 7 failed on the 2nd day due to overheating. Funny thing is 4 & 5 are purchased as used products; Hero 5 has replaced display; the previous owner sold it due to a broken flex cable; I replaced the display. I've been following GoPro for the last 5 years and looking at Hero 13, I don't see any innovation; only lens thing is new. As a professional cinematographer, I was expecting bigger sensor or equal to DJI Osmo 4, But I'm disappointed... Now looking forward to Osmo 5.
I got h3b, h4b, h6b, h7b, h10b and h12b so i know that each has its own features. Going from 7 to even 10 let alone 13 is a big step. So you cannot tell me that. True is that they move very slowly with their upgrades.
Getting a insta360 add while watching the video is next level
I'm shocked how good the quality is, AND YOU ONLY HAVE 388 SUBSCRIBERS, HOW?!?!?!
Thanks Bro! Slowly building🙌🏻
The fact that smartphones are water resistant is probably slowing down growth
I refuse to believe that GoPro will die unless the makers do it themselves. One new sensor for better low light will change the game.
GoPro was truly at the pinnacle with the GoPro 4, with every gadget and tech store filled with GoPro accessories and RUclips brimming with GoPro-generated content. However, instead of leading the market in active video usage like DJI, they fell behind and began to follow the market trends.
The last Gopro i bought was gopro session 2 due of how practical it was to carry around.
The action camera I purchased after session was the Osmo Action, primarily because it features a front screen and interchangeable lens protection-two key aspects that the GoPro lacks.
I was a long-time customer since the release of the Hero 2. I also had the Hero 3, 4, 8, 10, and 12, but I returned the Hero 12 because I had very bad customer service. It had been a nightmare. I also hated that the camera would often shut itself off, even when it had 30% battery, or that it would overheat. I lost so many chances for once-in-a-lifetime clips. I just didn't trust it anymore.
I switched to DJI with the Action 4 and also ordered another Action 4. DJI has the best customer service that I have ever seen. They have a "Care Refresh" service where it costs just €19 to replace a damaged camera, but I have never broken one. The editing app is also free. Batterys last very long, no overheat issues, magnetic quick connection and other good stuff
I've been using gopro since 2009. Got my first one from a buddy. I still have it to this day. I just picked up a hero 11 black on sale. I only stick with it because I know it'll work. I'm a Combat Engineer and use my gopros for demo ranges. I clamp my old hero plus just a couple feet from explosives and it doesn't skip a beat. I had to go on a scavenger hunt for one of them a while back because the clamp i was using broke off when the charge went off and sent it flying. I love em. The old ones die too fast because of their age. This is why I got the 11, to keep a plethora of charged batteries on hand. Maybe there are better cameras out there. I just don't wanna put the money in something I don't have experience with. Great video though. I knew nothing about the CEO
The insta360 is amazing and only getting better.
I tried the gopro fusion 360 years ago, and it was a mess. Often taking half a day to copy the files to a PC ready for editing. The insta360 took a few minutes, plus the desktop app is staggeringly easy to use. The gopro then required you to use Adobe software to manage the video. The insta360 did it all in app on a PC or phone, for free.
By the way, aren't you the same guy that talks about classic art?
All I see now days are insta360
I still use my hero 9 and love it
I bought a GoPro 10 and regret everything about it. It keeps freezing and overheating. It is a terrible product. I will never buy anything from GoPro again.
That's what was happening to my GoPro3
Yeah...countless of us have had the overheating/freezing gopro that they never fessed up to. Always tried to play it down to it being a issue with your memory card or something. That was the beginning of the end for me with my relationship with them. DJI and Insta now out innovating them every turn.
Wow, you guys deserve a few more subs. Great editing and quality. Thank you!

2 yrs ago, I bought DJI OsmoAction3, because it was cheaper than GoPro and I also already owned a DJI Mini drone…
And it's a great camera, particularly when it comes to attachments - those magnetic clasps are AMAZING…
No surprise, that GoPro is going down, being replaced by more field-flexible DJI and Insta360…
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I actually really liked GoPro Session, but I thought it was crazy selling as high as the main flagship. My job at the time purchased one and entrusted me to use it. It was a great camera and I wished a newer version of it. Sometimes I just needed a smaller camera from a different angle.
Also the water proof housing made it ready to go at any moment. Which was nice.
Most manufacturers do no product testing before sending it to manufacturing for a run of 100K units, letting customers do the quality control for them. It explains the crushable waterproof camera and the drone with battery bombs. My entire RUclips channel is shot on cheap Chinese action cameras and old 1080HD camcorders because they are cheap but they get the same quality control. Many knockoff products come off the same assembly line as the name brand. They just keep running the line after the name brand customer has finished paying for the setup costs.
If you went for a DJI or insta360 you'd see a MASSIVE quality improvement.
@@xamxcottagreed
i remember getting my hero 3+ BE in 2013 and the unboxing itself was a whole experience, clear plastic top, included remote, it was incredible, the 12’s box looks like a chinese action cam for 40 dollars
I bought a full HD Gopro Hero in 2013 and still happy with it. If I was buying a new camera I'd definitely get an insta360.
Hands down, GoPro is still the best for what I need.
Dang this video was so detailed and well narrated I watched the whole thing and subbed 💪👏
Thank You very Much Brother🙌🏻
I'm running a osmo action 5 and the battery still has 30% left after filling a 128gb card with 4k footage, then it charges back to full in 45 mins.
The software is smooth in use, no crashing.
It boots up instantly.
Does everything a GoPro should have been doing 3 years ago.
I use cameras and action cameras entirely while scuba diving. I had a GoPro10 Black in a dive housing. It didn't take long before it started giving me problems. The problems would be: 1. When turning it on, it would show a green screen and then start to turn off and on by itself. I would have to time pressing the power button for an extended amount of time to make it turn off, then try to turn it on again and hope for the best. 2. I would get a "Repairing File" message as I started a video recording. Time to power off and on again and hope that 1. didn't occur. 3. It would drain batteries quite fast and the above described problems would occur more often when battery was below 60-70%.
I started watching videos about the DJI OSMO ACTION 4, sold the GoPro to a friend and bought the DJI which I have been very happy with since.
I've done a few dives with a Hero 5 and was happy with the camera, no issues. Looking at all the reports it would seem things went south somewhen between the 5 and 10. The Hero 13 just released got decent reviews however I suspect the reviewers so far might be a quire paid to sing the praise so let's wait for independent reviews.
@@ralfbaechlei skipped the 5 since it was not that good. The 10 is great. Works perfectly, better even than the 12. But at first it had a buggy firmware that i was about to return it.
Very impressive production quality.

i remember getting the gopro hero 5 after having used a 3+ silver for a while, and it had that weird issue that you could hear every single touch to it super loud on the recording. it basically made handheld vlogging impossible. i switched to dji after that and i am now on the action 5 pro and love it
Its putting free features on their Quick app behind a subscription paywall is what lost me.
I always liked the Sony Actioncam cameras, the tubular shape just hit different.
I didn’t even know GoPro had any real competition till I had an issue purchasing the 13 and had to deal with their terrible atrocious customer service (they make Comcast look pleasant). Sent them the whole large order back unopened and terminated a 10+ year relationship with buying the newest models every year. Sounds like it was good timing as well. Now I just have to decide if Insta360 or DJI gets my business from now on.
11:24 that gopro 4 session was highly valued by FPV drone enthusiasts.

Keeeeep up!
Thank you Very Much!! Appreciate your support!
I was a huge fan of GoPro as a kid and I got excited each year if my parents or someone in my family got one, but the last one we purchased new was the Hero 8 Black. I have felt like since the 8/9 the innovation has dropped off a cliff, there are such minor improvements that seem to be matched by minor drawbacks with each new generation. I plan on getting a used 12 now that the 13 is out just to save some money and get the picture quality upgrade, but it’s not something I’m really excited for anymore.
I just checked the specs of the DJI Osmo 5 and compared it with the GoPro Hero 13.
Pros for DJI Osmo 5:
+ better battery life
+ sustains double the water pressure to GoPro (GoPro 13 supports 10 meters without a case, while Osmo 5 supports 20)
+ built in pressure gauge
+ built in storage (47 GB)
+ battery runs at colder temperatures
+ larger image sensor (40 MP 1/1.3" vs. GoPro Hero 13s 27MP 1/1.9")
Cons for DJI:
- No 5.3K video at any FPS (GoPro Hero 13 supports 5.3K at 60 fps).
- No subscription model that offers cheaper hardware (A single curved adhesive base kits costs the same as 6 adhesive bases for GoPro with a subscription).
- Only 240 fps at 1080p slowmotion, compared to GoPros 400 fps at 720p, 360 fps at 900p at 15 seconds as well as GoPros 120 fps at 5.3K for 5 seconds.
- less lens mods than GoPro (Osmo 5 have NDR filters, but no diving filters and no macro, telephoto, wide angle, smart motion blur or anamorphic lens).
- No dedicated HDR modes
- Shooting while charging disables two of the Osmo 5s functions if the battery isn't installed (compared to GoPros magnetic door latch system, which only works slightly worse without a battery).
- Burst slow motion uses interpolation rather than real frames (interpolation is the synthesizing of additional frames, aka errors can occur that makes it look weird).
- Fewer accessories than GoPro.
At the end of the day it comes down to preferences. I personally prefer GoPro because of its higher camera resolution, better HDR options, better slow motion modes and better accessories, all at a cheaper price than DJI, simply because I believe the core reason to buy a video camera should be based on the capabilities of shooting quality video and not the capabilities of the battery or image stills. I use my GoPro primarily for skiing and shooting DIY videos. I can use my phone for higher pixel still shots (Samsing Ultra S21 boasts a 120 MP main lens, triple the size of DJI) and I don't mind changing batteries while Skiing. When recording DIY videos I can keep my GoPro constantly powered by using the magnetic door system and livestream the video to a PC which then screen records it. The Insta360 looks like a good competitor, albeit mostly for night time shots, as it too lacks the amount of accessories, lenses, mods, filters and exclusive prices of GoPros subscription model. I'll likely get an Insta for nighttime shots. But for everything during the day? GoPro all the way!
Great video, thank you very much, I appreciate a lot. It helps understand the status of the business and how it evolved. Great value.
Thank you Very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video mate, you're on the up for sure! GoPro were truely innovative early on but as with any innovator competetors come chasing eating away at that initial success. Something that has always bothered me about GoPro is the arogance as a brand, comparatively DJI do zero flashy marketing but their products and price do the talking, Insta360 are pretty shadey with their marketing unfortunately. I think another big factor is that camera tech has slowed down in recent years, the annual upgrade cycle is dead, you can create amazing content that stands up using gear that's a few years old still.
Thank you Very Much Brother!
Had GoPro 3, 5, Xiaomi action, Sony action cam, and than I bought insta 360 x3. Battery life is just amazing I can film pov from my helmet of the whole hour session on a track without a battery swap. I can record 360 and than cut the video like I want, or decide in the beginning which lense and aspect ratio I want and get even more battery life out of it. Yeah it lacks a bit in dark conditions, but with a bit of twicking you can get a good picture.
I’ve had almost every GoPro released since the Hero 3! GoPro used to be excellent, the flagship of the market, but 8 months ago, I bought the GoPro 11 Mini. I use it for POV surfing (shoutout to my channel), and after 3 months, the problems began. To summarize, I’m currently on my 6th exchange under warranty. At least I can’t say the support is bad because they always honor the warranty. After march 2025 I'll have to look for other brand....
I have an old core xy machine i got from Ali Express years ago that's just been sitting there since I got my x1c. Would it be hard to swap out the board and tool head and convert it to clipper? Kinda jimmy rig together a voron?
i owned one gopro, a hero 5, and i was really happy with everything about it, except for the pretty clunky interface, and worst of all the very poor battery life. but the image quality was excellent. it really felt like a premium well made product.
Insta360 was a game changer. I've their products since their launch. I still use the original One R, which i have two of, to this day for my RUclips videos. Also has a fantastic free editing Studio. My last GoPro was the 4
My last gopro was a hero 7. Been using dji and insta 360 ever since
I bought the Ace Pro and I just bought the Ace Pro 2
The Session 4 was beloved by FPV drone pilots because the light weight. It had marketplace. After that we used to "strip" standard camera to "naked GP" reach less than 40gr weight. Go Pro released their "naked" version for the next generations for the same price mocking us...
Meanwhile DJI gave us Action 2 50gr all capable camera, and completely obliterated GP with Action 3 and 4.
his dad even today must still be very happy with his seed capital .... Just bought an insta 360 X4 unboxed it yesterday along with Bushman Panoramic, Tilta and K & F products .... Yesterday was a great day
I had a GoPro10 and I can say that it was pretty good action camera but after few months that I bought it,battery problems started and sometimes problems with unjustified recordings stops.I keep this camera for almost 2years until I lost it.After few months and some research I decided to buy the new GoPro 12.It was summer season so I used my camera for windsurfing,sailing,snorkel etc.
Very soon I noticed problems with water inside the camera especially between battery (room) and door,I look about it and learned that was factory issue.(first big disappointment)
After few weeks that I was still thinking how sad was the brand new camera had that problem,said to me self try to see what is going on inside the lens.
So I twisted and open the protective cover of the lens and I saw Rust and humidity.
That was my biggest and last disappointment for GoPro brand.
Just to clarify I bought the camera after 1-2month of the release day from the official site with Subscription (😂) and I never open the protective cover of the lens(until the day that I said above).
I think now is my time to try some other brands,like it or not .!
I remember this story like 4 years ago.. GP is still around. Love the hateful comments.
I'll still buy GP.
To be fair, getting into drones WAS the correct strategy for GoPRO BUT it want going to be easy to catch up to DJI
I have a number of gopros. They sit on a shelf and I've made the switch over to the insta360 as it offers a much better recording and editing experience.
How does the GoPro compare VS the DJI Action Cam 3/4, or the Insta360? Can the Insta360 be used as a regular action camera if you want or is it always 360-degree videos? How is that too edit?
Imagine if he shorted the company behind the scenes, that would be crazy
I just made the switch to DJI. The upgrades to the GoPros seemed more like gimmicks than beneficial.
Great video and good story 😊🎉❤
Thank You Very much❤️
Cutting off retailer shops is a bad move. Nobody wants to sell your products anymore
The DJI action blows the GoPro out of the water in nearly every category. GoPro got lazy because they think “people will buy it because it’s GoPro” but that’s not the case when competitors have better products for better prices
I have a Hero 7 black. Bought it when it was the newest hot toy for a seaside vacation, then used it for some home remodeling videos, some photos and family celebration memories. The results I get from it are great, even now in 2024. It's robust, water proof and with descent battery life. However - it I leave the memory card in when the camera is off - it heaths up and drains the battery. It's not the card, I've tried others. And I hear similar problems with newer models. The camera isn't exactly cheap so such problems are not acceptable. I probably won't be buying another gopro. Maybe that's also a reason for their financial downfall.
Bring back the Session!
I would have to go with DJI just because they are in trouble within the USA with the drones. As in i would support them because there is no good reason to shun them in the market.
I had 3 hereo 4s, a session, the drone with a 5, a 6, and loads of accessories.
but the subscriptions, dropping the products i actually enjoyed, and the reviews talking about all the issues they have been having have kept me from buying anything else. I was going to buy the gopro 360, but it's one of the units they've discontinued.
Probably going to get an insta360 for this snowboard season and to se what else i can do with it.
I bought a camera a few years ago on that no question asked free camera replacement. Once I needed to get a replacement they wanted a £100 fee to replace it. I’m done with GoPro. Seem to never be trust worthy on their word. For such a big company they run it like a small time local business on the street.
very good transistion and video edited & scripts and made my attention to watch the full video.
Thank you so much, Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved gopro but through constant tech problems, had to take a leap of faith to DJI. DJI have been wonderful. No issues at all. It just works. Sorry gopro, you missed the ball.
Amazing video! I thought you would have had hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words! I'm working to get there soon! Your support means a lot!
I your 460 number subscriber.
You did a great job. Idk, why your subscribers are so low!
Thank you very much for the support bro!
