  • Here it is May 1st 2024 and let's talk about what happened to the Budget action camera market in 2024? I'm using the Apexcam X70 Pro as a perfect example of what's wrong with the budget sector which used to offer decent quality at a great price, but now it's only below subpar quality.
    Tell me in the comment section which budget camera you still use and why and what's keeping you from saving up and getting one of the Top 3 cameras !

    Thx. I was wondering how a $35 camera could compete, they can’t.

    The budget action cam market is dead, pretty much. The availability of used higher quality cameras has killed it. You can buy a good condition GP7 for $70 and it'll blow any budget action camera out of the water. There are lots of used action cams on the market, with people upgrading all the time. Recently, I picked up an Action 2 dual screen combo, with some accessories, in great condition, for $130. It was too cheap to pass up! And I already run an Insta360 OneRS (4K and 1" mod), but the 4K100 of the Action 2 was too cheap to pass up!

    • @WORTHITORNOT
      @WORTHITORNOT  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I know a lot of people don't like to buy used, but great deals can be had on cameras that are still in "like new" condition.

    Excellent video. The discussion is right along the line of what I try to discuss when I review stuff. While I have yet to do reviews on TH-cam, I try to acquire items which I would probably like, and I review them as to the expectations as they depend on the reality of what we are getting, and the stated purposes of the seller / manufacturer.
    I have acquired a number of very inexpensive cameras which can also shoot video (as an example) - NONE of those budget cameras could be used for most professional videos, of course, but in some cases they could... but it require more equipment and skill to do so.
    In THIS video, that footage was a hard no to me, so I naturally agree. Another thing (for me) is that I acquired the GoPro 8, and I do not chase technology, but that camera was before the front facing screen so I could ensure I was in the shot... but everything else worked well... and I could add a professional, external microphone to it.
    Now I am about to acquire an action cam for review, so I am keeping your video here in mind... but the thing I always want to do, is to be able to add professional microphones to the process. The front facing screen (on the one coming to me) is why I agreed to look at it... thanks again for sharing this video, it is important.

    I was aiming for SJcam C200 or SJ10/Sj11 active, Instead i got a used Hero 6 for 85 USD.. mint condition.. Most people look for used Hero 5 and higher in my country.. I think the best brandnew budget cam under $70 is Supremo 5K air/Premiere Action 4K.. It has EIS but video quality is 2010s

    I own some Insta360 cams and an older GoPro, but right now I'm looking for cheap cameras that I can give to friends while traveling without worrying if they lose or break them. So even knowing that the quality isn't great, I am actually pretty interested in what is the "best" < $100 cam

I am saving, GoPro seem to have a and oor reputation and Dji look to be the boys, will probably get a Action 3 if I just cannot wait, maybe I can hold out for the 4, as you say "You only get what you pay for, heres another, if it looks too good to be true, it usually is, thanks for your splendid videos.

    I really wish Gitup or Thieye would get back in the game. The Git2/Git3 and T5e were great value cams, I was genuinely upset when my T5e finally died cause I knew I was going to have to plunk down some change for a GoPro to get the same general performance, nothing in the budget market in the past 2 years has been worth the money.

    • @WORTHITORNOT
      @WORTHITORNOT  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      YES ! Totally forgot to mention Thieye ! I have 2 of the T5e's and what a great camera back in the day. Never got to review the Git cameras.

    Greetings from Connecticut,Andre! I have also v50 , still working and a GoPro hero 7 black, the V50 is good, but the GoPro 7 is the one I use in a daily basis, it's an old camera but I don't do any action any more so it's good enough for me! You told the the truth about not e wasting you time on trash! Take care

    I just don't know. I've had such bad luck with GoPro and these new premium cameras are priced into orbit for the median income guy like me. My Akaso v50x, Akaso 7 LE, and a basically no name Gamsod 4k 60 are still plugging along after all but two of my GoPros have left this world. I think there's still a thriving market for the budget guys, at least the old stuff anyway. I just ordered another Akaso 7LE on Monday after one of mine got brutalized because it was mounted about 4" from the ground on a twisty road and ate a large piece of debris at a pretty high impact. It's cheap enough that I can replace it with ease (and not cry tooooo much about it). All my budget cameras, even the v50x, deliver great quality pictures. Nobody has ever asked what Camara(s) I use on my trips as the quality is the same on the smart phones that 99.99999% of my tiny fan club use for insta and Facebook. Mind you, I RARELY use the audio on any of my cameras. If i do use audio from a budget cam, I just boost ìt in edit, it's not that bad as long as it helps tell the story. So there's definitely a niche market, at least for my salary range, in my opinion. Dude, love your videos. They definitely play a part in my decision making with a lot of tech devices.

    I think it was around 2 years ago on your recommendation I bought a nice, used Osmo Action for $150. I'm still using that camera. I may upgrade to the Action 4 or even the Pocket 3 when prices drop. I think Akaso really dropped the ball. I picked up their insta360 Go clone and I find uses for it (baseball cap mount is great) but the Brave 8 was a big disappointment both in capability and in price and they've done nothing since. I think DJI killed them.

    • @WORTHITORNOT
      @WORTHITORNOT  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The Action 1 is still a great camera, but the 4 is awesome as is the Pocket 3. I think the Pocket 3 is now my overall favorite camera to use.

    Greetings friend, just looking for a camera that is very economical, my budget is that it is below 50 USD, logically I expect something with low performance or visual quality, but I would like to know which brand (reference) you recommend for that price range, now I found on Amazon, the dragon touch vision 3, costs 49 USD and has a bonus of 10 usd, leaving only 39 usd, do you know this camera? For that price would you recommend it? Or what brand would you recommend? I really appreciate your videos, I've seen a lot these days and yours are good, but my local currency is not dollars and for me to save 150 USD is not feasible 🥲

    • @WORTHITORNOT
      @WORTHITORNOT  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2
