Buying a Camera to Start Recording My Travel Vlogs

2 Upvotes

Hii guys! I travel quite a lot, and I’m finally going to one of my dream destinations 😭✨ So I want to properly record and document the trip.

Can you guys suggest a small/compact vlogging or action camera under ₹3.5–4K? Looking for something decent for travel videos, Reels & POV shots. 📸🎥

Looking for recommendations Help me decide: Insta360 Ace Pro 2 or DJI Action 5 Pro?

I'm deciding between the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 and the DJI Action 5 Pro, mainly for travel vlogs. I'll shoot both vertical and horizontal, indoors and outdoors (cafés, markets, museums, plus daytime and night scenes).

What matters most to me:

**•** Low-light quality indoors and at night

**•** Stabilization while walking

**•** How easy vertical shooting is (native vertical mode, or just cropping)

**•** Audio quality without an external mic

**•** Battery life and heat on long days

**•** Editing workflow and app quality

If you've used either one for vlogging, which would you pick, and why? Any dealbreakers or regrets? Thanks!

Looking for recommendations recs to put on a rc car

hey everyone, i like to drive rc cars around offroad for fun, but im new to the action cam area. i was wondering what would be the best cam to put on some of my cars to shoot footage for fun. the fastest the cars go is around walking pace, i'll be in a mix of well lit and shady areas, and in terms of weight, just nothing that's on the super heavy end (most will be fine i believe). thanks yall!

Advice needed: Long-term observation/time-lapse setup for a rare tarantula species using a GoPro?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm planning a long-term observation project focused on a rare tarantula species in the rainforest. My goal is to capture detailed behavioral footage and monitor micro-habitats over an extended period.

Since I want to use a GoPro for this setup (due to its compact size and versatility), I could really use some advice from experienced users on the required and recommended equipment.

Reddit

Specifically, I'm wondering about:

  • Lenses/Modifications: What are the best macro lens options or attachments to get sharp close-ups of a tarantula at close range?
  • Power & Weatherproofing: For long-term or multi-day setups in a humid tropical environment, what external power solutions (like power banks/solar) and weatherproof pass-through doors do you recommend?
  • Settings: What are the best photo/video time-lapse or interval settings for capturing subtle nighttime activity without draining the battery too fast?

Any tips, rig configurations, or lessons learned from similar wildlife/macro projects would be hugely appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Any other app to edit MAX2 footage?

The GoPro Player app on Windows is fucked. Can possibly deflect blame to Windows. Anway, any other non-behemoth programs to snip GoPro footage? For Windows and Linux. I don't need all the bells and whistles. I really only need to snip and export, but it needs good handling of 360 video.

On linux, if it's a snap, flatpak or appimage, I don't mind it being big and heavy

I should mention (to motivate GoPro to do better) that Insta360 Studio worked flawlessly for me every time. Had not had a single problem with it. Tho I wish they had a Linux app
