    I see a lot of action cams on the used marketplace selling for cheap. What’s a good one to buy? Or are they all toast?

      Theyre all really good now, and all priced very similarly. All have strengths and weaknesses but you can’t really go wrong with any of them.

      Unfortunately they all require a proprietary app and associated account so I’ll never buy another one.

      GoPro rested on their laurels and DJI and Insta360 are eating their lunch now.

        I got a gopro for a project and basically gave up on copying the video files to my computer…

      Insta360 really wants to take the higher end of gopro. As in, beating them at quality. There’s a bazillion lower end models with varying quality, some rather decent.

      I have the insta360 acepro 2, and recording quality is really good, i think better than gopro. But it’s a brick of a camera to hold, rather heavier. I didn’t have issues with batteries myself, i have an original one and 2 off market ones, so far all working Ok.
