GoPro has consistently made the best action cameras over the last few years, but the competition has really heated up. Companies like Sony and — believe it or not — Garmin and TomTom all made great cameras that can do so much more than capture awesome footage.

I think Contour is best, especially for a helmet
You need to say the prices too…
Gopro is overrated, I can get a camera that does the same thing for a quarter of the price
pebble time
Sony HDR-AS200V
The Gopro Session is not good. Dont buy it. Even the Hero entry (2014) takes better footage and its 130€. The SJ 5000 is surprising good and very cheap. The Sony X1000V has the best picture, video, lowlight and lens quality, Better than the hero 4 black. But the menu is really, really awful and has fewer mounts than other systems. I have the hero 4 silver. Really good quality and i like the screen on the back. I can directly see what im recording. Even when im diving.
you guys forgot xiamei camera which is similar to the Gopro @theverge
There isone thing gopro is missing. and that I will not say, no it is not DIS, or EIS, or IOS stabilization. something simply no one mentioned. I love to see Aiptek, jump back into the field, better yet, never will Kodak. If these two companies can come up with their version of a gopro. then I beno longer buying a newer model each and every time gopro releases? So there is a lot to say, on that note I said my peace FISHLove to hear your thoughts
GoPro’s app is so trash. It could be great, but it ALWAYS disconnects making it hard to use.
xiomi yi?? no??
i think Contour roam 3 is also good one.
And Drift. . Y it is bad?? i dnt think its bad. . its too good with its prize. .
Sony camera’s menu is awful? Since when?
Since EVER, you couldn’t expect any different. LOL.
He is wearing an Apple watch Right
I think the Xiaomi yi camera shkuld definitely have a place on this list.… it’s the best budget camera out there
You should add rollei 7S camera also. I have it and it’s awesome.
Technically speaking, GoPro 4 silver does shoot 4k, but it’s only 15fps.
xiaomi yi is the best for its price.…..fuck Gopro
Rollei 500 Sunrise. i love it
What with this f..ng music ?
I am out of here
what about the replay they are awesome cameras !!
Why spend 75% talking about GoPro, that everyone knows ? Why not spend more time explaining the pros and cons of the competitors that are less known to the public ?
this video was paid for by gopro
i use sj5000 wifi
Thanks for interesting review. I want to buy an action camera and have an opportunity to buy Drift Stealth 2. Have you used it? Can you say something about this camera?
So no on Contour Cameras ?
did they have to pay for the drift ghost S or something? is that why they had little to nothing good to say about it?
SJ 4000 wifi!
These reviews are so baised. Like “if you don’t like the Gopro for some reason”. What’s that? What about battery life?
Gopro, is not the best, oh yeah it is best at over charging, , Gopro way overrated, , , there, a lot of budget cams that perform way better, so go shit
Try the firefly 6s, it kicks the xiaomi yi and Gopro 4 in the ass, plus has the best gyro stabilization, going, a Sony sensor, you, can even can the bit rate of the cam, from hi to low, go , who, go home, you now have to play catch up. If you can, 106, at gearbest, you can buy 4 to 5 for what Gopro cost, and have four different angles
What about xiaomi Yi camera?
the xiaomi yi now records at 2k 30fps i bought one a couple months back for £50
And what about gopro hero + lcd?
Just got an Activeon CX Gold! I really like the little camera. At least not bad for my first action cam.
what about the gopro+???
help subscribe me back plz . because i like all your new videos update . thz
gitup 2, check it out.
What about the contour
The GitUp Git2 has my vote. I refuse to be a GoPro fanboy.
Just because it is not widely known name brand does not mean it should be dismissed or not even given consideration.
I have a Sony HDR as 200v and a hero 4 black and skiing wise the Sony is way better…and about the accessories that’s not true
git2 is the best deal now.. Xiaomi yi is the second best for 70–80 usd but less accessories and 1080p 60fps is a bit blurry but not bad at all.. Forget the rest Chinese cameras.. If you got money buy gopro but with especially git2 you will be happy!
And yet all over 300$ nice
XD Xiaomi yi … 75$ …
Excellent review! Thanks!
Hi, I need help. Which camera is BEST FOR 150 dollars? Please help me.
