- Here it is May 1st 2024 and let's talk about what happened to the Budget action camera market in 2024? I'm using the Apexcam X70 Pro as a perfect example of what's wrong with the budget sector which used to offer decent quality at a great price, but now it's only below subpar quality.
Tell me in the comment section which budget camera you still use and why and what's keeping you from saving up and getting one of the Top 3 cameras !

Your honesty is the best thing about your channel. 👍
Thank you Kevin !
Thx. I was wondering how a $35 camera could compete, they can’t.
I run the DJI and Insta360 platforms. Never have I used any of the budget cams and I won’t use GoPro period.
The budget action cam market is dead, pretty much. The availability of used higher quality cameras has killed it. You can buy a good condition GP7 for $70 and it'll blow any budget action camera out of the water. There are lots of used action cams on the market, with people upgrading all the time. Recently, I picked up an Action 2 dual screen combo, with some accessories, in great condition, for $130. It was too cheap to pass up! And I already run an Insta360 OneRS (4K and 1" mod), but the 4K100 of the Action 2 was too cheap to pass up!
I know a lot of people don't like to buy used, but great deals can be had on cameras that are still in "like new" condition.
Aloha Sir
You made me look for my first couple of budget cameras. I had so many before buying the gopro hero 11. The apeman a100 was good for its time. Aloha
Andre, I still use my Akaso V50 Pro and love the quality. Thanks for breaking down the action cameras.
Hey Buddy, yes the V50 Pro is still a great performer. Thank you for watching and commenting
I own some Insta360 cams and an older GoPro, but right now I'm looking for cheap cameras that I can give to friends while traveling without worrying if they lose or break them. So even knowing that the quality isn't great, I am actually pretty interested in what is the "best" < $100 cam
Damn Andre you must have a warehouse full of action cameras 😂
😆Sometimes it feels like it
Settling for the gopro10 for $199 at best buy.
I still use my Akasa V50X in the garage when I have to take something apart I video it. But I use my GoPro 10 for most everything else sometimes my Iphone 15 it has a really good camera system. Thanks for the video !! 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching and commenting !
I was aiming for SJcam C200 or SJ10/Sj11 active, Instead i got a used Hero 6 for 85 USD.. mint condition.. Most people look for used Hero 5 and higher in my country.. I think the best brandnew budget cam under $70 is Supremo 5K air/Premiere Action 4K.. It has EIS but video quality is 2010s
I've had the sjcam sj5-x-elite permanently mounted on my bike since i bought it in 2016, still doing a great job
Excellent video. The discussion is right along the line of what I try to discuss when I review stuff. While I have yet to do reviews on RUclips, I try to acquire items which I would probably like, and I review them as to the expectations as they depend on the reality of what we are getting, and the stated purposes of the seller / manufacturer.
I have acquired a number of very inexpensive cameras which can also shoot video (as an example) - NONE of those budget cameras could be used for most professional videos, of course, but in some cases they could... but it require more equipment and skill to do so.
In THIS video, that footage was a hard no to me, so I naturally agree. Another thing (for me) is that I acquired the GoPro 8, and I do not chase technology, but that camera was before the front facing screen so I could ensure I was in the shot... but everything else worked well... and I could add a professional, external microphone to it.
Now I am about to acquire an action cam for review, so I am keeping your video here in mind... but the thing I always want to do, is to be able to add professional microphones to the process. The front facing screen (on the one coming to me) is why I agreed to look at it... thanks again for sharing this video, it is important.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting !
still using my old EKEN H9R..buy it new for $45..good quality vid..just need stabilization..like u said..they gone..lol
I had some good luck with the akaso brave 6, and was really excited to see where budget cameras were heading. I ended up getting an action 3 and never looked back.
I'd be mad if I won the Apepoop cam at a claw machine. -Worthless
😆
Its bulky but I😮 use my Pixel 6 on a selfied, pictures and quality are great, meanwhile !! I am saving, GoPro seem to have a and oor reputation and Dji look to be the boys, will probably get a Action 3 if I just cannot wait, maybe I can hold out for the 4, as you say "You only get what you pay for, heres another, if it looks too good to be true, it usually is, thanks for your splendid videos.
I just don't know. I've had such bad luck with GoPro and these new premium cameras are priced into orbit for the median income guy like me. My Akaso v50x, Akaso 7 LE, and a basically no name Gamsod 4k 60 are still plugging along after all but two of my GoPros have left this world. I think there's still a thriving market for the budget guys, at least the old stuff anyway. I just ordered another Akaso 7LE on Monday after one of mine got brutalized because it was mounted about 4" from the ground on a twisty road and ate a large piece of debris at a pretty high impact. It's cheap enough that I can replace it with ease (and not cry tooooo much about it). All my budget cameras, even the v50x, deliver great quality pictures. Nobody has ever asked what Camara(s) I use on my trips as the quality is the same on the smart phones that 99.99999% of my tiny fan club use for insta and Facebook. Mind you, I RARELY use the audio on any of my cameras. If i do use audio from a budget cam, I just boost ìt in edit, it's not that bad as long as it helps tell the story. So there's definitely a niche market, at least for my salary range, in my opinion. Dude, love your videos. They definitely play a part in my decision making with a lot of tech devices.
Thanks for watching and commenting and thank you for the compliment
Greetings from Connecticut,Andre! I have also v50 , still working and a GoPro hero 7 black, the V50 is good, but the GoPro 7 is the one I use in a daily basis, it's an old camera but I don't do any action any more so it's good enough for me! You told the the truth about not e wasting you time on trash! Take care
Hey there ! The Hero 7 is still a good camera, unfortunately I was using mine on a Cruise and we stopped off at Perfect day at cococay and in the water it developed a leak and trashed the camera, but I was able to get all the video off of the sd card thankfully
@@WORTHITORNOT sorry to hear your loss, but accidents happens, have a nice day
The old Akaso v50 pro still looks very good, I wonder if they changed that one too ? Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching ! I don't know if Akaso also changed up the V50 Pro or not, but after messing with the V50X internals, I just don't trust them anymore
The DJI Osmo Action 3 which is $200 now is a good deal.
Yes it is, hopefully they got the focus issue resolved on the Action 3.
I agree, the budget action cameras are bad today. Buy smart, buy once.
Yup buy once and cry once
LOL! Since the GoPro 7 Black with the hypersmooth thing started there was no more market to budget cameras IMHO!! That Kingdom ended since it's release...
After getting the DJI Osmo Action 4, I don't think I could use a budget camera. I dont want to risk getting a bad camera. I have been spoiled the Osmo. :)
The Action 4 is such a homerun for DJI, it's an absolutely fantastic camera
@@WORTHITORNOT You are so correct. I love it.
I think it was around 2 years ago on your recommendation I bought a nice, used Osmo Action for $150. I'm still using that camera. I may upgrade to the Action 4 or even the Pocket 3 when prices drop. I think Akaso really dropped the ball. I picked up their insta360 Go clone and I find uses for it (baseball cap mount is great) but the Brave 8 was a big disappointment both in capability and in price and they've done nothing since. I think DJI killed them.
The Action 1 is still a great camera, but the 4 is awesome as is the Pocket 3. I think the Pocket 3 is now my overall favorite camera to use.
I really wish Gitup or Thieye would get back in the game. The Git2/Git3 and T5e were great value cams, I was genuinely upset when my T5e finally died cause I knew I was going to have to plunk down some change for a GoPro to get the same general performance, nothing in the budget market in the past 2 years has been worth the money.
YES ! Totally forgot to mention Thieye ! I have 2 of the T5e's and what a great camera back in the day. Never got to review the Git cameras.
Im still waiting on the DBPower D5 to be restocked 😂 Is that camera still worth it for today’s standards & price ?
Ahh yes, the DBPower D5, I remember getting a few of them when they went on sale for $20, I have a feeling they won't be restocking that one anymore :)
Sir, would you be so kind to give a recommendation if I were to get a camera under $120, no screen front, just need to record recognizable plate numbers and some stabilization. thank you very much!!!
I would save up just a little more $ and get this camera, as you can't go wrong and it will last for years : amzn.to/4d26KXe
@@WORTHITORNOT thank you very much Sir!
Akaso brave 8 lite please
If Akaso sends me one to test/review I will
In one word: "Oof!"
That X70 maybe has 4K resolution video files, but 100% for sure it's not pulling a 4K image from the sensor 🤡
Yup, has 4K dimensions but not 4K nor is it a true 30 fps, it's 15 fps using frame doubling.
wow, that Apexcam . . . welcome to 1997 budget video!
Haha, exactly
Wow that video quality of that budget camera is absolutely terrible. I guess technology is just moving too fast for those sub-par companies. Wonder what the Hero 13 will offer or will it be dissapointing?
Yeah it was so bad there was no way I was going to do a review of it. Hero 13? Humm, 13 is usually tied to bad luck and GoPro already has some big financial problems to deal with and I don't think it will be called the Hero 13 personally, but I guess we'll find out in September :)
That was a terrible camera, spend some extra money and get one of the top 3 and be done. Great video dude
Thanks Ruffus ! I agree, budget action camera market is dead at the moment and GoPro, DJI and Insta360 currently have the best performing action cameras. Let's see what it looks like in August-September with new releases :)
I just didn't buy a budget action cam. i bought a 2nd hand DJI action 1 instead. no regrets.
The original Action 1 is still a great camera
I won’t review garbage either
Unreal how they think people would want something like this.
Wow that camera was terrible. Too bad the Sony is no longer available as it looked and sounded very good.
Yes this Apexcam is junk. The Sony X3000 is still such a great camera to use. Sometimes you can find them on eBay, but be careful as some of them went out of focus due to the glue getting soft with long video recordings ( camera got hot).
Now that is a hunk of junk. Considering how advanced the major makers are today, these budget chinese cameras just can't keep up at all. The EIS on this camera makes me seasick lol
Yeah the EIS on this is a mess. I think the budget action camera market is dead
Greetings friend, just looking for a camera that is very economical, my budget is that it is below 50 USD, logically I expect something with low performance or visual quality, but I would like to know which brand (reference) you recommend for that price range, now I found on Amazon, the dragon touch vision 3, costs 49 USD and has a bonus of 10 usd, leaving only 39 usd, do you know this camera? For that price would you recommend it? Or what brand would you recommend? I really appreciate your videos, I've seen a lot these days and yours are good, but my local currency is not dollars and for me to save 150 USD is not feasible 🥲
I’ve never tested that camera. Honestly for $50 USD you’re not going to get anything that is decent.
