I'm looking to get a GoPro or something like.

Anyone have any shops that they'd recommend dealing with and/or GoPro alternatives you'd suggest?

I bought the GoPro 8 earlier in the year and felt I'd made the right choice after looking at the Sony equivalent. Apart from that, every person I know from a diver, to mountain bike riders, a paraglider chap and one guy who is boating enthusiast all use GoPros. There are quite a few cheaper alternatives like some mentioned here https://toomanyadapters.com/best-gopro-alternatives/, but it seems to me GoPros are the market leader for most uses of small portable, easy to use waterproof cams. The people have spoken.

It would depend on what you want to use it for though, I guess.

great English and excellent deals.

I use the Eken H9R (now it's like $50. I got mine for $30. 3-4 years ago) was like 1/7 the price of the GoPro 8 ($350. on amazon).
The Eken came with a bunch of accessories and all others gopro accessories are interchangeable.
I can't see why anyone would pay for the name brand GoPro

Here is a video link of the Eken H9 compared to the GoPro 6 (didn't see one for the gopro8 )

Very true. I just want to use it to make some short trip videos when I moto around town and with the kids. Mainly for my folks back home so they can see what big city life is like in Phnom Penh, lol.

Brother, I'd love to see those. If you can do it without giving away your identity, post them in the aviation thread.

Thanks beaker. Did you buy yours locally?



Much obliged, gentlemen.

Where will it be in use, car or moto or up in the sky? You saw what I was using on the moto trip. I visited my Khmer friend who has a phone shop, was lucky and mentioned about the poor guy and his lady being knocked off while some youngsters tried to rob the ladys gold chain. He had one that he didn't use, so that's what I bought. There about $65 but receipt faded.






I think it does the job, and not too many worries if it got damaged.

Car / moto, just for short trip videos. So I don't need anything too snazzy.

What is the brand name of yours? HD DV?
