Just got back from a week of snorkeling in Hawaii with this little beast and WOW. The 4K footage is so crisp I can count the scales on fish that photobombed my shots. That EIS stabilization? Magic. My shaky-handed videos now look like they were shot by a pro (or at least someone who doesn’t drink 3 coffees before filming).

The voice control is hilarious to use – yelling “ACTION START VIDEO” on the beach got some weird looks but saved me from fumbling with buttons mid-wave. Pro tip: practice commands at home unless you want tourists thinking you’re casting spells at your camera.

Dove down 40ft no problem – the waterproof case feels sturdy AF. Was lowkey waiting for it to fail so I could dramatic post about it, but nope, this thing’s built like a tiny submarine. Came with SO many mounts I started attaching it to random things just because (my dog was not amused by his new ‘action pup’ perspective).

Only gripes? Battery life disappears faster than my motivation to edit vacation videos, and the touchscreen gets moody when wet (don’t we all). But for the price? 10/10 would accidentally drop in the ocean again.
