Picked a GoPro over a DJI camera for a hiking trip and kinda regret it
I had to choose between a GoPro Hero 12 and a DJI Osmo Action 4 for a week long hike in the Smokies last month. Went with the GoPro because I liked the color profiles in the reviews. But after 4 days of rain and mud, the battery drain was brutal and I missed 3 good sunrise shots because it died overnight. Meanwhile my buddy used the DJI and got better low light shots and his battery lasted the whole trip. Has anyone else made a call like this and wished they went the other way?

Did you try turning off WiFi and GPS? That fixes the battery issue.

emeryn83 I already had all that stuff turned off and it still drained faster than I expected. The bigger problem was the battery just didn't hold up compared to the DJI model my buddy had. Did you test yours side by side with a DJI in similar conditions or are you just going off what you read online?
