Показать описание
The best budget action camera of 2023 isn't a budget action camera at all. It isn't one of those #amazonfinds. Even though most peole are looking at the #akaso or other budget offerings, the best cameria is actually a #gopro. While the #hero10 and #hero11black are still quite pricey, the Hero 8 is a fantastic deal. It is the best action camera under $200!

Love your reviews. Thank you for not making a long drawn out review. Your videos are great. You come to the point quickly thus making your video easy to watch and not waste time.

This review is actually so helpful because we tend to writeoff old tech quickly but it can be the best way to find a balance between quality and price. Is $200 still expensive? Objectively, yes. But it's still waaaay better than $550 for the same product or $100 on tech that doesn't perform.

I get the point here, but I have a number of action cameras from GoPro 4 through to 9, they all eventually just died, I have 3 Akaso cameras and whilst they can't match the picture quality they all still work and unlike a GoPro where it will probably need the battery removing / replacing before it will work and that spontaneous shot has gone, they perform immideatly. I have been doing a daily video for 5 yrs nearly 2, 000 last count as I retired to Canada (from UK) and send daily info back to family as we continue to build our house. I will never spend that amount of money on a GOPRO again, they need to take stock, and release a budget camera that is truly Action and doesn't stop when its too hot or too cold, at minus 22c I can plow my snow with an Akaso on my 1949 tractor for at least an hour and enjoy editing the footage, the go pro lasts 5-10 mins. Maybe they should merge as companies what a hybrid that would be, great vids love your output, Dave

The Hero 9 is available new at the GoPro site. $249

I always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. You deserve to have more than 890 subscribers. I feel as if I should be eating avocado toast and a Kombucha when watching your videos. They are quite professional and certainly have that Southern California vibe.

I came to that conclusion at the beginning of 2023. The gopro 8 black has the same internal hardware (sensor & processor) as the more recent models, stabilization is just as good, a front display is a gimmick I absolutely do not need, and 4K @ 60fps is pretty neat. Really, all the boxes are already ticked.
So, even thou it still has it's fair share of problems, like overheating, occasionally freezing, etc., the gopro 8 black at it's production end discount was definitely the best bang for the money.

Bought new 9 few days ago for 300$.
I dont consider that budget buy at all, actually its a lot of money, but it think its good value option. It doesn't lose too much to newest cams but is almost half it price, but u still got that gopro quality, instead of complete compromise of chinese copies which sux in more than one way.
Gopro is still far from flawless but like u said it has good, tuff build quality, have best audio and video quality

This is super helpful. Thank you. I was using my cell phone but get really tired of running out of room and wanted to start using a separate camera with an SD card.

Old Carlsbad, Calif. Only down side I see with GoPro is the battery, overheating and the freezing issues.

The 3rd time I took a GoPro snorkeling in Oahu I’m at Sharks Cove filming some incredible underwater scenes. All was going fine, but then my GoPro was dead and the little hatch cover was open. I don’t know how the heck it popped open but I was pissed, and I had a $400 paper weight. If it was a cheap $80 budget camera I wouldn’t have cared.

Need to replace my GoPro Hero 7 Silver. [freezing way too much, lost videos etc] So, you say the Hero 8. Does it has the same freezing issues as the 7? I have tried so many times to repair this camera, yes even with the help of GoPro people, it still drops files left right and center. So, I am really and I mean really hesitate about spending $300.00 om another GoPro product. Here's what I use it for, Youtube content, ATV riding, Mountian bike riding, Videoing Repairs and a few water type dives. And lost of other stuff. So, send me some advice on a sport type camera. Cheers! Stumpr1

Shame the Go Pro Hero 8 costs €270 over here while the Akaso brave 7 is €190 and the Brave 4 Pro is €120, would you still go for the Go Pro Hero 8 at those price points? Great content by the way.

It's only 50 bucks cheaper than the Hero 12 here, same on the used market (idk why they ask the same as stores ask for new). Might as well get the 12 then...

I have seen a few reviews of the Brave 8 and most suggest that it isn't much of an improvement over the 7 which is significantly cheaper. At this time on Amazon in the UK the Hero 9 is cheaper than the Hero 8 at £220. The Brave 7 is £140 (with a current discount voucher). So with those prices in mind, would you still go for the Hero 8/9 at £220 or the Brave 7 at £140?
I personally would be looking to use it to film my adventures on a motorcycle, would that affect your decision?

and what is your oppinion on the dji action cam 1 vs the hero 8?

TBH this is just the way it is. There is no real "budget" action camera. The only camera I have seen that was even remotely usable compared to GoPro and DJI was the Hawkeye Firefly and it is now massively expensive when you can just get a GoPro. I would tell anyone to not throw money away on the over-saturated market of cheap action cameras that you are not going to be happy with like I did and go for a older model of a good action camera otherwise you are gonna spend more money buying bad camera after bad camera.

I think that the DJI Action 1 is more dependable/reliable then the Gopro Hero 8!
