As for other camera comparisons, there are more coming up, including the ‘tiny’ action cam comparison of the new GoPro Hero LIT, DJI OSMO NANO, and Insta360 Go Ultra. All of which are new options released over the course of the last 6 weeks, and all of which I’ve been out putting them through their paces.
With that, thanks for watching!

Ray, spotted a typo in the intro: “and all of which I’ve been out putting them their their paces.” Probably should be: “and all of which I’ve been out with putting them through their paces.”
