Best Action Camera ???

[farmtimpioneer]

Hello, does anyone have a good opinion on what is the best / reliable / easy to use action camera to mount on Your SXS???
Best camera for the money??? I have been reading lots of bad reviews on GoPro I don`t want to spend $300 plus dollars on a camera that is no more reliable than a $60 camera on Amazon, there are many cameras on Amazon that have good reviews at a fraction of the cost of a GoPro anyone have any luck with these???
Thanks for any info,,,,,

get the waterproof powered housing, none of the action cameras have good battery life.

I watch a lot of videos of trail rides here, most have really blotchy pictures on the move, some are really nice and clear, which cameras are clear on the move? Mr S X S .com had a neat 360 camera in CO. Seen some videos from others that look all fish eyed, is the difference on a good video and a bad one is how you down load it? Yea I know. Dumb question!

The Virb is nice and I'm a little jealous of the gauges they have, but my Hero 5 Black is one touch on and off and I can run it all day on 2 batteries.

Hows the down load in clarity on the move?

Watch this video on Youtube and crank it up to 1080p.

Clarity depends on mount if it’s shaking or vibrating clarity is going to be poor

We all use RAM mounts, right?

The anti-shake on my GoPro is 1000x better than the anti-shake on my Faux-Pro.

Mine is mounted to ROPS windshield bumper or something solid ram mount has rubber in it.

Guess I'm not following you? I thought all mounts vibrated if mounted to the buggy, so are you saying a hand held unit?

Based on your response, I'm not putting much weight into your comment on a quality mount.

Mount your camera to a quality RAM mount and a GoPro with anti-shake turned on will be smooth as glass.

@PistonHondas video is better than most, and he's moving at a fast clip, is there any mount that will clean the blotches up?.

 

[Deleted member 3748]

Are you asking if my videos can be better?

There is going to obviously be vibrations and shaking and such on a SXS but all of that Can be amplified by a poor mount to camera causing the camera to actually shake more than the vehicle itself, I think that is what is being said hear ,,,,,,, understandable,,,,
