GoPro/Action camera

[Russ. M]

Hi guys,

Was looking at the possibility of getting an action camera for my I5s, and have a couple of questions

1. What brand can you recommend
2. The i5s come with a go pro mount, is this universal or just for a go pro,
3. Will a camera take a paintball hit? Are any available with paintball in mind and if not what aftermarket products will make it safe, i.e a dive case

Thanks
Russ

Check the comparison videos on youtube, some of the GoPro alternatives are really good.

The GoPro style mount is used on a lot of accessories.

If you get an underwater style sealed case they can take a hit but the audio suffers unless you mod and run an external mic.

I’m going to say that they look like a lot of money for 4K camera ‘bundles’ that don’t really have much in them
(Based on a quick look without seeing much information on specifications)
For half their prices you could get a 4K camera, large accessory packs, SD card with double their capacity .....

Unless the buyer knows the specifications they need then almost any unbranded current Action Camera with a case will easily do the job.
Any extra money can be put to a second or even third camera to cover all angles and though it means even more editing then multiple cameras cover the failings such as a barrel cam mostly filming the ground, a head cam filming the wall you are leaning around etc
