The END of GoPro - Never buying one again
Space play/pause · J/L seek 10s · [ ] previous/next
Summary
After recently criticizing the Insta360 X3, he revises his view and declares GoPros unnecessary for most buyers. He values the X3’s waterproofing, stabilization, horizon lock, 360-degree reframing, and switchable single-lens/selfie shooting over GoPro’s fixed framing. He concedes GoPro remains smaller and easier to mount, criticizing the X3’s tall form and proposing shorter, wider, pebble-like redesign.
Insight
Purchase regret becomes strong advocacy, with mounting practicality as the remaining objection.
