Choosing the right Action Camera, 2024

Like no time in history there are more action cams to choose from. Here is how I pick!

A note, I think In this video I referred to the DJI camera as the Action 4, when in fact it is the latest version the action 5. Sorry, the names of these cameras can be overwhelming.

Additionally, since I created this video, they are now talking about tariffs on Mexico too. Which will affect GoPro pricing. If you are shopping, buy now!

I offer free stroke consultation! Send me a video of you paddling with the camera in front of you, and I’ll send it back with notes! [email protected]
