Interesting video, started watching. Do note as far as I know, Apple will not fix warranty claims due to water damage. That just for me means ‘these iphones cannot be treated as a waterproof device’. Water resistant yea but I am not taking my >1k$ device into water or wet conditions purposefully until Apples backs their water proof claim with upholding that with a warranty.

Fun to watch. And somewhat informative as well. But as always, the best camera, is the one that you have on you. Great work.

The irony of YouTube only choosing to play this in 720p...

[graphguy]

You are jaded, her cannonballs are truly superior to your juvenile attempt! ;)

Are you planning to make a comparison video of DJI ACTION 5 Pro vs. iPhone 16 Pro?

[onomemoses]

I don't have any of these gadgets but your video is both informative and fun to watch. I really enjoyed it. And that comment about over achieving 😅

Bobbi looking very demure, very mindful in the car.

HAHAH you chasing after her with a camera at 1.5X speed looks funny XD

[joyaclub]

Your cannonball is why they call you the Rainmaker. :)

[NihilimZA]

Super informative and very entertaining... as always.

I didn't know you could go underwater with iPhone!🤯

The water video is amazing. My spouse is a Dutch triathlete too, so now I feel confident taking my phone in the water to film her technique

Awesome review, i dont have the slightest idea of buying any of them but like you detalied test. Love how Bobbie is sitting and pointing at the bumps and giggling over what i guess she glad its not your own car. 😊

Look forward for the full review of the JetBlack victory and hope i orded the right trainer after your initial review of it.

[sheppo]

We appreciate you really giving your car’s suspension a good test for science too. 😊

DJI Action 4 or definetly 5 PRO wins. The footage looks bad on both. But fun video as always ;-)

Very interesting video with a nice proposition! 👍🏼 After watching it, I thought that if you're already predisposed to buy an iPhone anyway, and you don't already have an action camera - then yes, an iPhone will do just fine you're not too fussy about it. On the other hand, if you're gonna use it enough and your main goal is to capture lots of action content, then there is really no comparison with the GoPro. The cost difference must be a really BIG factor here. Moreover, if you buy an earlier model of the GoPro (to save money) you can still do just fine; the same maybe can't be said about an older iPhone for these kinds of action shots (and the savings are not that significant). PS: my girlfriend got jealous because I said your wife looks beautiful in some of the shots (she did not even give me time to explain it before hitting me 😄)

[joeanut]

Why can’t they release an action cam with 3 focal ranges.

[timcollins]

Glad you had an adult with you for this! Funniest video I've seen from DCR...

Fantastic video! The iphone does a awesome job, but due to the form factor and robustness it will never replace an action cam for action videos. Your review shows also, that an action cam can't compete in low light to a smart phone. Thinking a step ahead, maybe low light capabilities like promoted from DJI and insta360 are not a key feature for action cams, also because best camera is the cam you have with you - and that's usually the smart phone.
