Go Pro vs ??????

[Bdsp1234]

Hey folks , I’m going to invest in a camera. The obvious based upon brand alone is go pro. What are the alternatives out there that you guys use ?

I have a GoPro Hero 3+. Kind of old now but works great for fishing video. I wouldn't worry about too many bells and whistles because you won't have time or brainpower to use it all.
If I needed another, I would get a simple one.

I set it to superwide 1080 and never change it. It gets everything just by pointing in a general direction.
I don't use the video viewer or bluetooth. That saves battery.

I use Apple iMovie for editing.

I have had a GoPro for years, but barely use it. I bought a waterproof point and click recently and started using that more and use my phone with the DJI Osmo gimbal.

Anyone you buy will work very well for your application. Shop around and do your best deal.

I went with the Garmin VIRB....interfaces great with our Garmin displays. No plastic case to deal with and works great
