Action cam test - The good, the bad and the completely useless

This is a real life look at all the good and bad points of using action cams. We use them extensively in the sailing films we make for YouTube and I’ve been using them professionally for years alongside high end broadcast cameras.
In this video I look at the cameras I’m currently using;
Go Pro 9 and 11
DJI Osmo Action 3
Insta 360 ACE Pro
Insta 360 Go 3
I also look at the really neat Hollyland Lark radio mics
If you’re using action cams for vlogging then take a look at this video.

The Hollyland mics are really good, if you shoot on a phone then I would say the Lark series are a must have, I’m going to look into some more of their gear for sure.

Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.
