The action cam market is a bit weird at the moment. The others have caught up to GoPro, and some say even surpassed. But the field is very messy, you can't trust half the stuff.

Dji and Insta360 are very good at giving away free stuff to influencers, and to tech reviewers with strings attached (like forbidding side-by-side comparisons). Sock-puppets constantly recommending these brands, etc.

As a consumer it's very hard to make an informed decision on what to buy. Can't trust anything you read about the models.

Yeah you watch advertisements and promo videos shot with some professional equipment with people flying around in everything imaginable and explosions all over the place, all in high resolution and crisp quality. Then copy the footage from SD Card and it looks like a turd.
