I'm not sure if this is the right board to ask, but I'm in the market for an action cam. Mostly for stuff like bow mounting and hunting, or motorcycle helmet mounting.
My questions is - is GoPro a meme, and are there way better options for an action camera? I know GoPro's have hundreds of mount options; do other action cameras have the same versatility and waterproof capabilities as a GoPro?
I just got a ThiEYE T5E off gearbest and it's pretty good so far
Dunno how gopro's tend to do in low light but the T5E is pretty meh in the dark
I can put a test video on jewtube if you want
>is GoPro a meme
No, they're pretty good.
>are there way better options for an action camera
Are there better options? Sure. Depending on what you need. Are there WAY better options? No.
>do other action cameras have the same versatility and waterproof capabilities as a GoPro
Most decent cameras are either waterproof or they have waterproof cases, just like the gopro. Most cameras also have adapters that let you use gopro mounts.
If the Hero 5 didn't exist, the Yi 2 would be top tier action cam.
Hero 5 Black is the best one for the money at the moment.

Gopros are good but it depends in the model, if you can pick up a GoPro 3 white which does 720p 60fps and 1080p 30 fps for cheap if do it. If you want more quality go for their hero 5 line up.
