More detail in the clouds on the GoPro. Also the GoPro shows more detail in the grass especially from further away. Was the GoPro set to 10 bit?

Do a 3 way comparison between iPhone 16 pro max vs go pro vs Dji. But do a blind comparison and have people vote on.

An interesting comparison indeed. GoPro is definitely sharper and colours are good. I’ve heard the cameras on the latest iPhone have taken a backward step. Personally, in bright daylight conditions I prefer the image on GoPro to just about everything else out there. In low light it’s a different story but I never use an action camera in those conditions and this is when my iPhone 14 Pro Max does a fantastic job and really shines. One camera/phone cannot do everything well. Thanks for the review as always.

I did not expected a Action Cam will look better like a 1400€ Phone that early 😂

I prefer videos from GoPro in this test. Image stabilisation is also a bit better, but iPhone is also doing a nice job here. The only negative is visible distortion when shooting with wide angle. I'm iPhone 15 Pro user - so no bias for Apple products.

Interesting, the Go Pro in wide is actually pretty good. I’ve not bought one since Go Pro 5 😂. Maybe it’s time to get another

This is a great way to see how much they compare 😮

Wow, the GoPro image was better and I preferred its wider FoV.

[graphguy]

always fun to compare... the i16 video is no better than i15.
Neither apple stabilization can compare to the GP11-13.

One thing to clarify is if the iPhone had action mode turned on at all, or if this was standard stabilization?

[おいmizuno]

Do the Gopro is connected with T-MOBILE, Verizon or AT&T? Can you send/receive messages on GoPro?

[VacayCebu]

My GoPro is my daytime camera for sure. But when in lower light I use my iPhone with the InstaFlow stabilizer: the one you recently reviewed.

Interesting testing, both of them had their strengths and weakness. In the end they were both very good. Great video Shawn, thanks for sharing.

[jasonhillone]

i would be more than happy with either

I have that same Smallrig you used. Always have it in my camera bag. Neat accessory.
