- User-replaceable lens design and PureVideo low-light mode
- 15 m waterproof camera body and up to 208 min 5.7K24 Endurance Mode runtime in lab testing
Main trade-offThe longest runtime figure is tied to 5.7K24 Endurance Mode, not 8K30. 360 capture still requires lens care and post-capture reframing for conventional framing.

Action cameras buying questions
What should I compare first when choosing action cameras?
Start with standard action versus 360-degree capture and resolution, frame rate and stabilisation, then use price and secondary features to break close ties.
Should I choose on price alone?
No. Australian Product Guide treats price as a constraint, not a substitute for fit. Verify the current Australian offer and exact variant before buying.
How mature is this Australian Product Guide category?
This is a maintained starter-evidence category. Product identity, freshness and retailer pathways are maintained while deeper specification evidence and decision attributes continue to expand.
