  • Substitute for GoPro

    Hello fellow xBhpians

    I am in need of a camera as I love touring and want to capture every moment of it. Unfortunately the GoPro is out of question due to its price tag. Can you guys suggest a substitute for GoPro?

    thank you guys

    Re: Substitute for GoPro

    There are many alternatives to GoPro nowadays in the market and that is the reason GoPro has filed for bankruptcy!

    One of the most well known brand in this market is SJ CAM!

    Query approved.

      I have the Xiaomi Yi Action Camera. Its pretty old now but still does a good job. You can check out the new ones they have.

        Man check out AliExpress... Action Cameras start out from cheap 2000 bucks...
        Also lot of Indian brothers have brought from Ali... Check their reviews and then decide... delivery time would be long ... Approx 20-30 days..
        Warranty would be an issue as you would need to send the product back...
        But overall my shipping experience from the site has been good but haven't bought an action cam...

          Hi there, been there, done that... pricing was also an issue so i got a used GoPro Hero HD (original version 1) The “cheap Chinese” cams have impressive specs, but cant compare to the quality of a GoPro. They take like forever to focus, making your new 4k Chinese Cam footage useless. I might be wrong, but thats my opinion on it.

              Look at Gitup, Sjcam, Thieye, Firefly, Yi. These are only brands apart from GoPro that I would trust. Also, you can ask me general problems of any model here, would be happy to help you out, or you can pm me too.

                Are they headed towards bankruptcy or have they already filed for it?

                    Gitup G3 Duo Action Camera. Check this one out.
                    I had earlier participated in a kick-starter called Frodo Cam which was marketed as an intelligent camera which could edit videos and directly upload it on social media. But the project got tanked and I never got my product and lost my money.

                    But I had quite loved the idea (mainly a software that was the USP of the product).

                      I won't suggest G3 until they solve the hardware issue.

                        Eken H9R
                        Gitup
                        Xiaomi Lite
                        Firefly 8S
                        SJ Can S7 Star

                        There are so many VFM action cams available right now which makes it even more difficult to chose.

                        I need a cam to record my rides. NOT VLOG. Just record it for safety concerns and share with friends if something interesting happens. My priority is the battery life, warranty. Video quality has to be good, not the best. Battery life is the major concern.

                        Can someone please suggest any of the above-mentioned. I'm more inclined towards firefly

                          Go with Thieye or Gitup for this. They have the best support so far. Gitup is great battery life even on same capacity.
