Go Pro was very washed out, How could you have it as 1 ($$$ ?) -Cam 2 & 4 you swayed the handle bars a lot more Why not mount them all at same time
Comment from : @CoryHendy

GoPro looks terrible out of the camera Insta just needs the sharpening turned down
Comment from : @henryroy172

I ll stay with insta
Comment from : @seb1things1

the insta blew the go pro away in color and FOV
Comment from : @bikeman1x11

the over wide looks crappy and distorted
Comment from : @bikeman1x11

I know this is intended to be a simple comparison so it doesn't take too much time, but 1) I would also like to see how quickly each camera adjusts (or reacts) in sudden light changes Like going from bright, mid-day sun, into heavy or broken shadow, and back again ( a bit longer, or deeper shadow than the occasional tree, like say a tunnel) And 2) how easily is each camera confused in its ability to focus with an ever changing foreground, (as in pack riding) Are they slow to respond from near to far? do they "swim" at trying to refocus? or is it pretty much instant?brAlso, The GoPro seems to be overly warm This is easy to fix in post, but it is just one more step to take I also like that it is also less contrasty than the others, and the 360 is at the bottom range of acceptable shadow detail that I would be willing to acceptbrBut since features weren't covered, it is difficult to make any judgement on the level of contrast or differences in lens coatings, or other functionsbrbrI am very much enjoying all of you videos Keep it up :)
Comment from : @deanwilkendorf5304

I guess it's just a differnce in perspective when you compare the insta360 to the gopro The gopro image looks like someone went in and wiped out all the rough edges, it doesn't look real, like it came of a video game On the insta360 you can look down and see the rocks in the road and the leaves in the tree

Bit windy
Comment from : @RustyRacer

GoPros always look way better after post editing Raw GoPro footage just lacks the saturation and seems quite flat Same for my older Hero 3 & 4 Black Editions Even when I set my Hero 4 to 4k
Comment from : @yujiin9850

Love to see your shootout include the Osmo action cam Too bad Sony no longer plays in this space I loved their form factor for being aero on the bike Quality was great too
Comment from : @GregLAbbott

It would be interesting to see the comparison in low light settings as well
Comment from : @nathand216

how does older GoPros compare to the XTU? Used gopro hero 6 black (at least a month ago when I was shopping) was just a little over the $149 price of the XTU Would you rather have a hero 6 black or the XTU?
Comment from : @travispyle2905

GoPro vs DJI Action would be cool to see sometime in the future
Comment from : @juanjohnrico

i honestly prefer 3 over 1
Comment from : @dylanl9532

Unrelated to vid, but are you coming to intelli this year? July 22nd-31st!
Comment from : @joshdavis8282

I wasn't particularly impressed with the quality of any of these though I agree the GoPro did it best I want to see a comparison between the GoPro and an iPhone 13 Pro and a few compact cameras like the Sony DSC-RX0 II, and the Canon PowerShot G7 X III
Comment from : @thedanyesful

I'm still rocking the hero7 black and the footage is great for my usejust carry extra batteries on longer rides
Comment from : @willowwatts

I might rank the XTU Max lower because of the watermark/logo included on the video
Comment from : @crbondur

The dynamic range on the gopro is unbeatable
Comment from : @rasmus9311

Should have thrown in the DJI Action because that's pretty comparable to the Go Pro and is usually a little cheaper
Comment from : @whatwelearned

The insta 360 looks better to me, more detail in the picture and dynamic range compared to the gopro I think the sharpness issue is due you didn't change the default sharpness to a lower value
Comment from : @britneyforever

I own a One RS and a Go pro, and I use the RS all the way There are various reasons, but the main one is the ability to switch between lenses when needed (4k and 360), and it costed me the same as a gopro By the way, I feel like you shot in high sharpness value with the insta 360, that's why it doesn't look great in this example, you can try to lower the sharpness and will see how much better it looks
Comment from : @atw365

Great video! I actually own an Insta360 ONE RS myself and my footages definitely came out better Have you ever tried to lower the default sharpness in setting ? It actually makes a pretty big difference
Comment from : @yianxue4057

Have you ever tried a 360 degrees camera? I know the quality won't be great but it could bring some good angles
Comment from : @EddieOdora

What saddle mount do you use?
Comment from : @tristanjannes6698

Riding a Ventum now? We’re going to need a bike check on the new whip!
Comment from : @solosapien

My pick goes:br3-Stablization is good and it has the most amount of crispness to itbr1-Not quite as crisp, hard to make out the words on the signagebr4-Other that the Overlay text it isn't so badbr2-Stablization ability is awful Crispness isn't bad but wow that stabilization makes this the worstbrbrOn the Akaso waterproof case, it with the case doesn't appear to be that more chonky compared to other cameras with the built-in waterproofing Also in addition to the camera audio that awful overlay text is annoying to use and just makes it into dashcam territorybrbrNo Surprise the GoPro takes the top spot for youbrbr I am not in the market to purchase an action camera but if I was one route I would take is to look at older models and seeing how they contend since I can get them secondhand for cheaper than the brand new models
Comment from : @Xhadp

Dude, are you serious? That gopro footage looks certainly not bad, but the bitrate seems to be super low and loses detail The insta360 is my favourite on this list, but you made the mistake of not bringing down the default sharpness values to medium or low Also, come on, the stabilization on that $149 camera is unusable, super shaky even on a flat road Not sure why you chose them in that order, but shared this video with a few friends and they had a hard time when choosing between the insta and the gopro, miles ahead of the others
Comment from : @SDalino

Insta360 is on par with GoPro worse and better in some ways
Comment from : @MrJohnnyTN

Boss video, I appreciate the direct and visceral review style Hope you do more
Comment from : @phila9288

Would it have made a difference in the sound of the other cameras if you had that "wind muff" on them?
Comment from : @671james

What about battery life?
Comment from : @ethanneff9817

Would love to see a comparison of the GoPro vs DJI Action
Comment from : @yehoramhofman1300

Hey Jeff! Could you maybe share us your specs for the gopro in a next vid? Thank you :)
Comment from : @danielbostock595

I bet a lot of people prefer the look of camera number 3 People love over saturation for some reasom
Comment from : @tehpanda64

A really useful video, thank you I’mbrRunning out of handlebar space to mount things - do you have a link for the bracket you use to mount these on your bike please ? The camera underneath the computer is a great idea Thank you
Comment from : @TheMagicCrayons

XTU looks like a good cheap rear-facing cam for racing
Comment from : @TheBRad704

I appreciate that you guys gradually added the saturation and contrast to the GoPro footage as you described it at the very end It was subtle but made a big difference!
Comment from : @nathanmanwaring4570

Agree on that - Gopro has it in performance But after years of them ignoring us am so hoping competitor would take Gopro's top spot by fixing some of their long-ignored issues:br1 Gopro's insanely evil file naming - canz i hate enough the resulting sorting?br2 Mounting hardware - gets in the way of everything Was it made by/for masochists who hate practical functionality?br3 Battery life and their overall design At the VERY least we need some way to change these without fumbling if their life is going to be soooo short!br4 Flat brick form factor Can we get tubular? Anything with less cD I'm not that much for aero but really - do I need to look like a teletubby if I want to mount on a helmet?
Comment from : @obikedog

I noticed you had some type of microphone cover on the GoPro Though I'm sure it would still win
Comment from : @kimwarner6050

On #4, did you out sprint that kid?
Comment from : @acemodean

Lemme get a video on how many watts lost with the cameras mounted 🤣🤣
Comment from : @southjerseycycling106

Thanks, very useful The GoPRO looks neat but I like the InstaRS the most which looks more natural
Comment from : @srpelissier

I just get frustrated on how the footage looks on YouTube compared to the edited video on my computer In the same video an Iphone footage will look great and the gopro will look terrible
Comment from : @CWBmtb

Would love to see you or your editors way of producing the footage 😃
Comment from : @michaelgraycycling

let's not forget that all these footages have been on a sunny day
Comment from : @SonnyDarvish

Can you do a follow up episode on the whole editing/publishing pipeline? For me that friction of having to spend the extra hours off the bike to produce decent quality clips is what puts me off for now Maybe if I see that it's not that hard and time consuming I'll change my mind?
Comment from : @lechprotean

I bet that test rig is not aero
Comment from : @bahadr2705

Did you go to pros nats?
Comment from : @tikillelea

Can you do an updated video of your post-production process, please?
Comment from : @huhwhatguy

Go Pro footage when setup right has always been the best! I've never understoo why reviewers complain so much, its gorgeous And my Hero 7 looks like the footage above! They've been leading for sometime :) #GoPro
