Another plus – if you have it – is the ability to use it with DJI's excellent radio microphone system though, though the GoPro has the option of a wireless mic or a media mod too. The camera is sold on its own or as part of the Logitech Rally Plus system, which includes a display hub with a pair of stereo speakers and a smaller table hub to which you can connect microphones.

The HDMI output in a camera comes in handy when you have to stream the recordings live on some monitor. You can also view a conference or any other video on TV or any other screen. The little screen on your camera may not always be enough, and you can transfer the scene to a bigger screen with an HDMI cable.

Clean HDMI Go for the camera with a resolution of at least 1280x720p. If you get one with 1920x1080, great! 4k resolution is not necessary, as most people watch videos on their phones.

It’s as if the camera / sensor gets too hot and it needs a break. You then have to press the shutter button and the movie button or power cycle the camera to restart it. This is less than ideal.
