Thanks @Geoff for sorting those. πŸ‘

Hmmm, very good action camera's with excellent footage quality, good build quality as well, however, they are notoriously unreliable from a firmware perspective, things to look out for are , overheating, freezing up whilst recording, crappy audio, audio that is not in sync with the footage, recording a split screen video, randomly turning off, turning off in temps below -3c, battery going flat when the camera is turned off (a major issue on all GoPro's), and poor battery life

Be advised that they are very microSD card fussy, generally the Samsung Evo Plus seems to work in them fine.

A lot of those issues go right back to the GoPro 3 and still haven't been fixed on the gopro 12 !

My GoPro hero 7 Black has bitten the dust, it won't turn on unless you remove and refit the battery, then it turns on and off perfect for about 30 mins before returning to its 'no turn on state', I have re-flashed the firmware numerous times, so in the bin it goes.

I will now replace mine with a DJI Osmo Action 4, but they are hard to come by at the moment, so I have got a Wolfang GA460 as a temporary measure.

You will probably be best in shooting at 4K30, and then outputting the final edit in 1080p, this will give you the best cropping and editing ability.

Software wise I mostly use Corel Video Studio Ultimate, but I also have Black Magic DaVinci, which is harder to use, but the editing facilities are mind blowing.

I’ve got my eye on a garmin virb 360, hopefully in the new year I’ll do a few fibre washer change jobs to be able to afford one.Β 
Just think, you lot will be able to watch me catching whiting and eating in 360 degree 5.7k resolution.

Funnily enough Neil, gopro are the market leaders by a long way. A lot of users are prepared to accept the foibles as the build quality and footage is exceptional.

However, Gopro will need to smarten their act as others have caught up with equally as good video, and become more intuitive to use. The game changer for me is DJI magnetic mounting.

I have had 3 Gopro’s, but now I am moving away from them, but still like the β€˜package’.

Good choice Jon, I considered the VIRB, but you are limited to Garmin accessories which is a PITA, both in terms of cost and availability. You wont be able to upload to youtube in 5.7k, you will need to output the edit in 1080p, but the quality will be superb.

Another one to look at would be the Insta360, which is popular with vloggers.

One of the guys at the sailing club puts one on his cat during races, I didn’t realise this sort of thing was available at a reasonable cost.

The VIRB is sort of β€˜top end’ at Β£600 ish, Gopro and DJI are Β£500 ish and then there are others like Wolfang, insta, Brave, Akaso etc, that vary from Β£150 to Β£350 ish.
