Go Pro Alternatives

Since the GoPro gained such popularity , went through many versions and also had the Hero, other companies tried to make cheaper imitations... Since I lost my GoPro 3 Silver ... I decided to try the different alternatives. The first one I tried was a Pic Tek from Amazon and cost just over one hundred Canadian dollars. Since I am not looking for perfection, it was ok and I recommended it to some people who were completely satisfied. I was NOT ...

This video seemed okay, but the first one in the winter outside had a strange hue ...
The next video in the winter did NO|T have that strange hue - perhaps I somehow overcame this with the settings ??



what was I disappointed about ??
already mentioned the hue and basically some colour just did not get my attention ...

Ed, my buddy at work showed me some footage at Hawaii above and below water with an SJ CAM.
I liked the colour and the option to reduce the wide angle ...
So, I purchased an SJ400 for under $70 delivered ...
This is my first video at OKA on Canada Day 2018 , well actually Mon, July 2nd ...



In the cover shot colours are good ..
Sound is not bad without the case ...
A bit shaky with no change in settings ..
Date is wrong and showing on the film = FIXED $%^&*(

here's one heading out of OKA La Crête - same day ...



une autre essaie mais avec le camera en dessous le boom/wishbone  - sans date et 1080p



there are PLENTY of cheaper GoPro alternatives that do the job just fine ..
just google it ...

and there is also the GoPro Hero Session - well, there WAS - is it no longer manufactured ??

it was a tiny little camera that seemed very handy ...

they seem to be available still

and are $$$ like all
