Trying to get a camera that will work for my needs, POV, roller coasters, hiking, camping, swimming, things for adventures where i dont risk my phone on purpose, ive seen comparisons in YouTube and really stuck between the two, regarding night capture i could care less since i wont be doing activities at night 😭 and can use a phone
Backlit shot in the early morning around 5:30 AM. I love how the seed particles spread and create a temporary silhouette as the Brown Thrasher bites through the seeds. Filmed in 4K at 240 fps in GP-Log 2 with a +4 diopter strength and then graded with halation, bloom, and some subtle film grain.
Greetings All, I am a longtime GoPro user, back to 3+. Currently have 9, 10, 11 and Mission 1 Pro.
I use our gopros for ONLY one purpose, burst photos. Generally 10/3. I have used all previous GoPro series flawlessly for years taking thousands of bursts.
I received my pre-ordered Mission 1 Pro, and immediately I am having a fatal error when trying to shoot the normal 10/3 bursts.
My settings are Burst, 50mp, RAW, 10/3 .

Here is a video showing what the camera is doing. Video is 5 minutes, but shows SEVERAL error-outs that occur: https://vimeo.com/1205351458?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci
What I have done to fix this:
A) these are new batteries, from my purchase, but I have bought additional OEM set and tried those. No change
B) The micro SD card if from the approved list, and it works in my other gopro's without a problem. I have used the sdcard.org software to completely format card twice. I have formatted in the camera each time. No change.
C) I have used the SD card in my GoPro 11 inside the new Mission 1 Pro. formatted properly inside camera. No change. This card has worked for years in my 11, and is the recommended specs for the Mission 1 Pro. See screenshot of the two cards: https://screen.caduceus.link/9sRVhnKd
D) I have completely reset Mission 1 Pro to factory settings.
E) I have manually updated the firmware to 01.22.00 See screenshot:

Not sure what to do now. Unfortunately, I purchased this new camera, in preparation for a 2 month long adventure trip to Australia, and now I have a camera that I don't feel I can rely on, and have gone back to my 11.
Someone pleases help.

Hi everyone,
I recently received my MISSION 1 Pro and I am having several concerning issues.
The camera loses battery even while it is fully powered off. At first, I noticed around 15% battery loss overnight. Then I tested it more carefully:
Even with all of that disabled and no SD card inserted, it lost around 7% in approximately 55 minutes while powered off. During that time, the camera also became noticeably warm.
I also have random boot freezes. Earlier I thought this might be related to the microSD card, because the camera sometimes would not power on after being off for around 40 minutes unless I removed and reinserted the battery.
However, today the same thing happened again with no microSD card installed. The camera would not power on at all, and removing/reinserting the battery was the only thing that made it boot again.
I have already performed a factory reset and I will update the firmware, but this seems more serious than normal standby battery drain.
Has anyone experienced this combination of issues on the MISSION 1 Pro? Did a firmware update fix it, or did you end up returning/replacing the camera?
Thanks!
DJI osmo action 6 camera has no warranty whatsoever in the United States. My camera broke after 4 uses and DJI will do nothing to help you if you live in the United States. I feel scammed.
What happened: took my camera kayaking thinking it was supposed to be a waterproof camera down to a certain depth. Well I tipped gently twice and the camera got wet. Well, it never turned on again. (I made sure to have everything sealed and cleaned as well)
Long story short, DJI will not perform any repair or provide and help or discount because they don’t have facilities in the USA they said. I feel scammed. Save your money!!!
Maybe look at the new go pro camera even.
I was originally looking at camcorders as something small to carry around and casually film family moments, but for the age of most of them and what they offer, I’m starting to think an action cam might make more sense.
I know the obvious answer is just to use my phone, but I’d rather keep it separate and have a dedicated camera. I’m leaning toward a DJI Action cam since I saw you can do things like digital zoom and swap lenses/accessories.
Curious if anyone here has built one out into more of an everyday carry / family video camera setup. What did your rig look like, and did you end up liking it over a traditional camcorder?
I’m currently looking at purchasing the AKASO Brave 4 and These rechargeable batteries but am open to better suggestions for both the camera and batteries (please include links if you suggest somethin).
My budget for both the camera and batteries is $200-$225 total CAD
