I'm taking a couple trips later this year and figured it's finally time to get an action camera.

I don't need Hollywood-quality footage. Just something that shoots good video, has decent battery life, and won't make me worry every time it gets wet or dropped.

What's everyone using these days?

For someone who would only use this 3 times a year for snorkelling in Europe and taking photos/videos close to the surface

Would you recommend

DJI Osmo Action 6

DJI Osmo 5 Pro

Or

Divevolk seatouch 4 max casing for an Iphone 16 pro max

Thanks 🙂

Scheduled release July 30 2026. I “borrowed” this unit from an “influencer”. 😜

I wasn’t able to use the footage because my insta360 app didn’t support it yet. No flowstate or any insta360 stabilization can be applied. So we scrapped the footage.

It comes with a two battery charging hub/case that has a built in cable which turns it into a powerbank. It’s two way. You can charge the batteries if plugged to a charger.

No need to pull the battery to access the micro sd card. Has internal storage already, i forgot how much. But the “influencer” was told that it has.

Much smaller now. Doesn’t stick out which is the most important. See photos side by side a GoPro 360 and my X5.

This was taken two weeks ago.

Sorry i used ai to blur the surroundings. But not the product itself. 🙃

Are you guys excited for the new insta360 X6?

Hi Folks, looking for an affordable action cam. I'd literally use it maybe twice a year to record motorcycle trips and some snorkeling so I can rewatch or share them with my parents.
So no need for 4k, but 2k 60fps, waterproof case and decent stabilization would be great.

Should I go for an older model of the big brands (DJI, Insta360, GoPro), second hand, or a lesser known brand like Akaso or SJCAM?

Happy with all the suggestions.
