Questions people ask
What's the best action camera for a beginner?
Digital Camera World's pick for most people is the DJI Osmo Action 6, though it warns it's not a cheap option. On a low budget, its pick is the Akaso Brave 7 LE, whose front screen makes selfie video easier, as long as you can live with no 4K at 60fps. If you mostly post to both YouTube and TikTok, it says the Hero13 Black's 8:7 sensor is easy to reframe.
What accessories do I actually need first?
For GoPros, Digital Camera World says a storage card comes first and spare batteries next, because a small camera doing that much processing burns through power fast. After that, it depends on your activity. Some cameras, like the Osmo Action 6 and Osmo Nano, have built-in storage, so check before you buy.
Do action cameras need a subscription?
Digital Camera World says it's worth checking whether a feature is on the device or costs you every month, and warns that GoPro will constantly push you toward subscription fees on the Hero13 Black.
Will these GoPro mounts fit other cameras?
Digital Camera World lists these mounts and grips for GoPro models, and says accessories differ between cameras, so check your exact model on the listing before you buy. The battery set here is only for the Hero13 Black.
