Depth Analysis of Popular Sports Cameras of GoPro, Insta360 and DJI: Who is more worthy of starting?

There are camera phones, SLR, micro-single professional digital cameras, why choose sports cameras?

There is a simple reason. Mobile phones, SLR and micro-cameras can't replace sports cameras.

The reason for this is the following：

In terms of portability, sports cameras are smaller and more convenient to carry than mobile phones and micro-phones. According to the function, sports cameras mainly record videos, and the shooting effect is far superior to that of mobile phones. And the operation is simpler. From the lens, the sports camera is mainly wide-angle and can accommodate more pictures.

The most important thing is that the sports camera is waterproof, dustproof, anti-fall and explosion-proof, which is suitable for any shooting scene: it can be placed directly under water 10 meter depth, and there is no problem when falling from a place two or three meters high. It can be filmed in stormy weather and is very portable. Can be clipped on a backpack, fixed on a bicycle, head, chest and so on. Moreover, whether taking photos or videos, the picture quality and definition of sports cameras are better than those of mobile phones, mainly because sports cameras use better lenses and more advanced autofocus and anti-shake systems.

The second question: What sports cameras are worth starting with? What are their advantages and disadvantages? In fact, there are not many brands of sports cameras at present, mainly Insta360, GoPro, DJI DJI, XTU, Feiyu Technology and other major brands. Insta360, GoPro and DJI DJI are the main brands in sports cameras, and users basically choose from these three brands. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of Insta360, GoPro and DJI DJI? As we all know, one of the biggest advantages of a sports camera is its excellent anti-shake performance. It can shoot at high speed or under very bumpy conditions and get very stable pictures. Therefore, anti-shake performance is a very important indicator of sports cameras.

From the perspective of anti-shake performance, GoPro has the best performance. At present, the latest model of GoPro series is GoPro HERO 10 black. GoPro HERO 10 Black is not only strong in anti-shake performance, but also very waterproof, so it can be shot directly in the deep water of10m. GoPro HERO 10 Black is also equipped with a large-capacity battery of 1720mAh, and its endurance is also very strong. In terms of video format, GoPro HERO 10 Black is also very powerful, which can shoot 5.3K/60P and 4K/ 120P videos.

GoPro HERO 10 black anti-shake and the picture quality of photos and videos are very powerful, and the anti-shake performance exceeds DJI and 360. In addition, the battery capacity of GoPro HERO 10 Black is also relatively large, and its endurance is far beyond the frame, slightly stronger than that of Insta360.

However, GoPro HERO 10 Black also has an obvious disadvantage, that is, the negative is relatively small, only 1/2.3 inches in size. When shooting at night, the noise is obviously increased, and the purity of image quality is not very good.

Another important indicator of a sports camera is the image quality, and the main factors that determine the image quality are the camera quality and the film size.

At present, the largest film is DJI DJI Action 2, and the film used in DJI DJI Action 2 is an image sensor with11.7 inch, which is much darker than Insta360 and GoPro HERO 10, which makes the image quality and video effect of DJI DJI Action 2 better. DJI's DJI Action 2 has better high-sensitivity performance, and the dark light shooting quality at night is obviously higher than GoPro HERO 10 Black, which is why many people choose DJI's DJI Action 2 dual-screen suit. DJI's DJI Action 2 dual-screen suit is two sports cameras, which highlights the superior cost performance.

DJI DJI Action 2 also has time-lapse photography and 8 times slow motion shooting performance, and can shoot 4K/ 120P video. Of course, DJI·DJI Action 2 also has its weaknesses and shortcomings. First of all, only the lens module of DJI DJI Action 2 is waterproof, and the outer screen should be waterproof. The battery capacity of DJI Action 2, the second largest in Xinjiang, is too small and its battery life is very poor, which is a big problem criticized by many people. However, this problem is very easy to solve, and the battery base can increase the battery life by more than twice. Third, DJI DJI Action 2 will overheat and crash. If it is longer than 4k, the reliability is not very good.

Finally, let's take a look at Insta360. The latest model of Insta360 is Insta360 ONE X2, which also has waterproof performance of 10 meter. Insta360 ONE X2 has the same anti-shake performance as DJI. The picture quality of Insta360 ONE X2 is the same as that of GoPro HERO 10 Black. The endurance of Insta360 ONE X2 is slightly lower than GoPro HERO 10 Black, but the endurance of Insta360 ONE X2 is far higher than that of China.

Insta360 ONE X2 is a pretty good sports camera. The short board is not as good as DJI, and the video shooting performance is not as good as GoPro HERO 10 Black, or even worse than DJI. GoPro HERO 10 Black can only shoot 5.7K/30P and 4K/50P videos at most. The maximum photo resolution is only18.4 million pixels, which is not as good as GoPro HERO 10 Black and DJI DJI Action 2.

Therefore, if you want to start a sports camera with an anti-shake handle and pay more attention to the image quality, you can choose DJI DJI Pocket 2, which has11.7 inch film, and DJI DJI Action 2 film is larger and has better image quality. DJI DJI Action 2 is also cheaper and more cost-effective.

Of course, DJI's "DJI Action 2" also has some shortcomings, that is, the endurance is poor, and shooting 4K video has a severe fever, which shows that DJI's "DJI Action 2" still needs to work hard on product performance. Only a large picture quality is not enough, and a good balanced performance is king.
