Unbelievable what we can get nowadays for under $100. I’m moving to 4K, BUT, I can say NO ONE has ever left a comment saying, “Hey! That’s 1080p!” No one cares about the resolution, they just care that it looks good. Great video as always. 👍
Underrated channel, really. I already ordered isteady pro 2 but you could do side by side comparison of g6 and isteady pro 2 to get some views. I actually didn't find any sbs comparison of feiyu g6 with isteady pro 2 on yt.
Great video! I have a quick question, some of my apeman cameras have issues with vibration from the Isteady 2, any advice on how to get that right? I mainly use the A80
Great channel. Looking at the three camera's you mentioned have you ever tried the Gitup Git2 and how it would compare to these three cameras when doing 1080p
Thanks for this! I forked out for the Osmo Action (love/hate relationship with that from day 1) and it records in 4K but... as a new RUclips content creator, my free video editors (I have two) can't upload the final cuts in 4K - my hp laptop can do it in 1080 and the free version of lightworks only in the 740... so, for those starting out, I'd add, don't worry about 4k yet if you want to start small. If you want a $400 and up editing suite from day one, then do go for something like the Hero 7 (or 8 that just came out!) but otherwise... keep it to the basics and learn as you go! This video is particularly helpful because while I went for the pricey Osmo Action, my daughter got a $30 Kitvision which films in HD! The options are basic but it films underwater and does the job! Basic box, etc, but she's happy with it! I think these shown here in the vid are better looking results, so don't go out and look for Kitvision (unless you really want to lol)
I've been using Cyberlink PowerDirector since the beginning and it's great. I have not even looked at Adobe Premiere at all yet. I record at 4K 60FPS with my GoPro 7 Hero and it can handle it.
Fern The Camper I’ve got a love hate relationship with the action ad well. I’m having trouble with the rocksteady sometimes in bright light great. But as soon as you go under a tree or something like that the rocksteady becomes unsteady. 🤦🏻♀️
@@michellehiggs60 Yes! And when you hit the stop record button and it's a proper click and you think it's off but it's still recording. Ditto for when you hit start recording and you actually miss a great shot. I learnt that you have to hear it make the music before it actually kicks on or off... and that is sometimes a five time attempt to get the thing actually working.
im thinking about buying one for my motorcycle adventure.which one is the best with external microphone?i saw on utube akaso v50 have issues with external microphone..
Do you recommend the microphone sennheiser mke 2 elements? I was searching an external microphone and found this sennheiser and seems to have really good sound quality. I dont know if you have heard about it but supposedly it is made for gopro hero 4, the connection is mini usb so I think it would work in the Firefly 8SE. What is it your opinion about it?
I love my GoPro Hero 7 Black but I'm having some problems with overheating when flying and recording in a Cessna 152 (I think I worked them out but I can only record a maximum of 1080 60FPS with GPS, wifi, and voice commands off to keep the heat down). The GoPro Hero 7 is great quality though when I use it for reviews on my RUclips Channel and is not left on long enough during reviews to let it over heat (4K 60FPS). I used an SJCAM SJ7 STAR before that for 1080 60FPS while flying the plane without it ever overheating, but I refuse to use SJCAM due to the terrible customer service, the micro usb port breaking on both SJ7 STARs I bought (no audio after), and the fact that the SJ8 Pro I had bought to replace the SJ7 died and they basically did nothing about it (not even an RMA request was granted and they erased my help tickets). That being said....I'm really digging the Firefly 8SE after your review should I need to record in 1080 60FPS. My question is how is the electronic image stabilization on the Firefly by itself? I can't use a gimbal on the plane because it is mounted to the back windshield.
The EIS on the Firefly 8SE is really good and should work great in a plane, plus it also comes with an external lapel microphone that works very good. Plus I really like the image quality of the 8SE and the color profile a lot. Hope this helps
@@WORTHITORNOT The video quality and colors made it stand out against the other 1080s you reviewed here. It seems likes it's on par with the STAR SJ7 and maybe even slightly better with the color profile.
A good remind of these cameras... Yilite is shadowed by elder brothers and there are better Challengers at that price. But, Who underrated firefly 8se or mijia 4k??go pro owners? i prepare and publish swimming tutorials. that's why, i use cameras for surface and underwater. if i needed only one camera, it would be yi4k or firefly 8se.
@@WORTHITORNOT well if you're looking for a place to go relax and chill with your family I highly recommend Muskoka Ontario area you can rent a cabin up that way I would go up probably middle of September or early October or if you ever plan on going near Windsor Ontario let me know I live very close to there
I knew that the Yi Lite was the first one, because of the cool color profile. I wish I had gotten the more narrow FOV in my 8SE, I have the 170 degree version, the audio is really decent on the 8SE, I don’t even think I have tried the Lav mic on it that came in the box. I should break it out and try it. So much I want to do, and it is just getting the time to do these things. I suppose I should just drop something in my pocket when I go walk the dog. I am not familiar with the Second one. Great work, as always. I am still working on finding a shock collar for me. Lol.
It’s been 3 years next month, Firefly and Akaso still makes action cameras but Yi is now doing dash cameras and home security cameras. I guess if products don’t sell great they discontinue them.

Great Video!!!! I was looking for 1080p and thats it. No need for 4k nonsense. Thank you for posting video
Thanks so much for watching

Really nice review do you have lamax x10.1 I would like see reviews from you for that camera
Thanks, unfortunately I don't have a Lamax camera. If they send me one I'll be happy to review it.
@@WORTHITORNOT and with is best camera on 1080p and good mic on your opinion
Great video! I have a quick question, some of my apeman cameras have issues with vibration from the Isteady 2, any advice on how to get that right? I mainly use the A80
You can go into the Hohem app and adjust the motor strength to get rid of any vibrations.
Great channel. Looking at the three camera's you mentioned have you ever tried the Gitup Git2 and how it would compare to these three cameras when doing 1080p
Never had the opportunity to test/review the Gitup unfortunately

@@EricDIY That is awesome!!!
Thank you for this awesome review! Stumbled upon it amd subscribed right away.
Could you do a comparison video of the Akashi V50X and the Firefly 8SE and tell us if it tops the firefly or any on this list
The Akaso V50X vs Firefly 8SE video will be up first thing in the morning :)

I have not tested that particular microphone but have worked with Sennheiser microphones in the past and they are fantastic microphones.
I liked the last camera the best and when paired with that gimbal makes for a very affordable setup for those just getting into videography. Cheers
Very true.
Hi, Is the fire fly camera your using the 170 fov or the 90 degree fov ?
It was the 170* version
I love my GoPro Hero 7 Black but I'm having some problems with overheating when flying and recording in a Cessna 152 (I think I worked them out but I can only record a maximum of 1080 60FPS with GPS, wifi, and voice commands off to keep the heat down).

All good budget cameras. Have to say the Firefly was the best,all round. Nice footage.
I personally really like the video quality of the Firefly 8SE
@@WORTHITORNOT Thought it was great. Nice one Andre.
Very helpful video. Blessings to you
Did you get the SJCAM 9 yet ?? I'm definitely waiting for your review on that 😎
The SJ9 has some major issues right now, giving them an opportunity to sort out these issues before doing a review of it.
@@WORTHITORNOT oh ok that makes sense well I hope they sort it out
Expedite Travels : me too !
Eventhough I never want to own an SJCAM ever again, I am wondering what the SJ9 can do. Looking forward to your review.
Video 3. Next suggested.
Are you taking notes for this experiment ? :)
A good remind of these cameras...
Yilite is shadowed by elder brothers and there are better Challengers at that price.
But, Who underrated firefly 8se or mijia 4k??go pro owners?
i prepare and publish swimming tutorials. that's why, i use cameras for surface and underwater.
if i needed only one camera, it would be yi4k or firefly 8se.
You wearing your Canada hat Eh 🇨🇦👍👍😎 thanks for the video very helpful
Yes Sir, had to get a hat from Canada. We had a great time up there and plan on going back again soon.
@@WORTHITORNOT well if you're looking for a place to go relax and chill with your family I highly recommend Muskoka Ontario area you can rent a cabin up that way I would go up probably middle of September or early October or if you ever plan on going near Windsor Ontario let me know I live very close to there
Expedite Travels : Excellent, will do !
Can you get cleaner/sharper video by turning the EIS off, yet still get stable images using the gimbal? Or does the smoothness suffer too much?
Yes, turning off EIS improves the video/image quality and if you use a gimbal you can still have that nice smooth footage.
I knew that the Yi Lite was the first one, because of the cool color profile. I wish I had gotten the more narrow FOV in my 8SE, I have the 170 degree version, the audio is really decent on the 8SE, I don’t even think I have tried the Lav mic on it that came in the box.

So many overnight flyby brands on Amazon, none are available anymore, and it’s only been 2 years.
It’s been 3 years next month, Firefly and Akaso still makes action cameras but Yi is now doing dash cameras and home security cameras. I guess if products don’t sell great they discontinue them.
Hum? Where did you find a dead cat 🐱? Tks for the video
Right here: amzn.to/3iHY0KM
Thank you ,
Waiting for new updated one
I’ll be doing one soon, after I get the new Brave 7 to see how well it performs
Not that I am any type of sports or action type of dude, but that $69 camera looked fine for my don't know crap about camera eyes lol
I want to buy action camera for motovlogging under 130$ please tell me which i have to buy please
This one: amzn.to/38rCoM3
V50X has a great stabilization but its mic is awful..
