So with my son getting more serious with his riding I'm finally ready to get a decent gopro and a accessories. This is mainly for downhill but I'm sure we'll film some trail rides too.
My two main questions:
- cameras. The older models (hero6 black $180 and hero7 silver $200) are much cheaper than the newest models like the hero8 black $400. But they lack the hyper smooth feature. I've seen videos showing their video isn't quite as smooth, though ftankly it still looks pretty great. Anyone have one of these cheaper models and are happy or wish they had the banger one? The boy is set on doing some sweet edits and I'll pay a little more if it means something watchable vs unwatchable.
- accessories. I'll probably get him a chest mount and one of these gooseneck things. 1. Along with the helmet mount, those two make sense right? And 2. Gopro brand only or good experience with the cheaper ones?
Appreciate the feedback!
