Twice its been said about cars quality, so a 6.99 sundisk(example) won't work, what would be a better quality card ?

The low cost of some of the cams are appealing and their specs comparable to a Go-pro. However, in side by side comparisons of actual footage quality there's often big differences. For example, I often film in low light situations and this is one aspect where the Go-pro video quality can't be matched by many of the cheaper options. Also during testing some of the cheaper cams didn't appear to be as robust, with many cameras having issues or dying when being put through their paces as an 'action' cam.

In the end after reviewing many different cameras I found a great deal on a new Go-pro that was only marginally more expensive than the cheaper no-name copies. Was a no brainer for me.

yes... I do watch reviews and read reviews on What I'm looking at or for, then the next best thing is y'all , having much more experience than I with recording...you know

Me neither unless it's factory refurbished and comes with a warranty which this does.

Canceled my order, thanks!

Back to the phone and tripod for now I guess.

As stated earlier the Yi is top rated on most reviews but so was the Apeman so go figure https://www.iamgopro.com/best-cheap-action-camera/

Try 'Davinci Resolve', it's free and should have all the options you'll need.

recently I've been using Hero5 black with voice commands, for faster recording

If your only gonna use it on mini kwads I suggest the runcam split. It's not a action cam but a fpv cam that records in 1080p. I only suggest this cause I destroyed the Lens in my GoPro in a crash.

[bryner250]

I did and everything is fine now but I just don't wanna do that again. Next could be a lot worse
