“Maybe availability is a factor? I know that when i bought my actioncam (for general all purpose use), where i live gopro hero 12 was by far the best in terms of price to feature ratio. Insta360 and dji were not readily available and/or cost a lot more.”

“… [truncated] … having to wait 10 minutes could kill the opportunity for what you’re doing. Part of the reason I left GoPro, my Hero 12 would overheat while scuba diving. 🤦♂️ Then the price. I always thought $299 was a bit much. The price,… [truncated] …”

neutralgopro “Best Action Camera to Get in 2026? (Price, Quality)”Hi! I want to get into content creation - vlogs, travel videos etc. and wish to invest in an action camera, but I'm not rlly sure what to go for. I've read that GoPros are good, as well as DJI Action cameras, what do you think of them? I want something that's: 1. easily portable 2. has a big storage and battery that lasts long 3. is within 300-400 bucks What action camera would you recommend? Edit: Thank you for the suggestions! The final list of action cameras that I am considering is: [GoPro HERO12 Black](https://share.google/O4xGK0RH0Y29oYwFx) \- extremely durable camera with sharp video recording, strong stabilisation, and a lot of [DJI Osmo Action 4](https://share.google/SBLaXArx2cYPr8WnM) \- cool camera with vivid images and outstanding horizon levelling; has an excellent battery [AKASO Brave 8](https://share.google/5QCOZoGsFigrDgsQL) \- inexpensive choice with decent 4K video and plenty of mounts included; not the most sophisticated camera In the end, I'm going with the [GoPro HERO12 Black](https://share.google/O4xGK0RH0Y29oYwFx) because of the reliability of its footage, huge ecosystem, and the ease of use.

neutralgopro “GoPro CS has really gone downhill”I'm incredibly disappointed in how GoPro Customer Support has gone down hill including no longer having phone support. I ordered the Mission 1 pro and it was supposed to have the 1 free year of GoPro subscription including accessory discount. After the order I went to go buy batteries with the subscription discount but it had failed to give the GoPro subscription that was supposed to be added to my account. So naturally I thought it was an error they'd easily correct and opened a support ticket since they've completely cancelled phone support. Next day I finally get a response of "Thank you for contacting us! We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and I am happy to help you on this. I have coordinated with our internal team regarding your concern about a free one-year GoPro subscription. I will provide you with an update once I receive their response." Then 3 days with no response so I had to send a follow up since the camera was set to arrive the next day and still no update. 4 days after the ticket I'm getting a response. "We are still actively coordinating with our internal team regarding your subscription concern...Rest assured, I’m closely monitoring your case to ensure this is resolved as quickly as possible" So GoPro can't even fix their own subscription issue in 4 days and have to "keep looking into it" and "coordinating with our team" I was finally going to be switching back to GoPro having had a dozen of their cameras through the years from the Hero 3 black through the hero 12, and only recent switching to DJI. But the fact their support is already now this bad before any potential bankruptcy has me at the point where I'm just going to refuse the delivery of the Mission 1 Pro today and return it. I really wanted GoPro to make a comeback, but they seem to have lost one of the few advantages they had over competitors now that their Customer Support doesn't even support customers well and is hard to get ahold of.

neutralgopro “best gopros? I'm new to action cameras”Best GoPro is always the latest one. Higher number = More better Now, cost effective is different. Don't go with the hero 8, they changed the form factor from hero onwards so you will have a hard time finding media mods. Hero 12 has no GPS, if that is of interest to you. But casual recording, probably not
