Interesting comparison for sure! But I'm not strapping an iphone to my helmet, or plunging it into the ocean. I think if you are going to pick an iphone ove a GoPro, then you didn't really need an action camera in the first place.

[@jara6447]

Neither the iphone, nor any other mobile, the go pro is a video camera and photos for extreme cases, the iphone is a phone with a camera, let's not forget that it is a phone. Go pro : Action camara and iPhone : a phone with cámara

[@maxrshelltrack7443]

Yeah exactly I got a gopro because it's water resistant and as a second option so I'm not running my phone down.

[@michacieslinski1697]

I've just shoot plenty of vids and pics in the ocean with iphone 12 pro without any case and the phone is fine - I also have apple care plus just in case

[@edward_rivas]

Exactly.

[@superbananin0097]

Yes like if he teste in a helmet or while he is skiing just with one crash the iPhone will broke and the GoPro would me alive

[@UnincredibleAim]

Have both (12 Pro Max). The GoPro is for when it’s too risky/impractical/niche to use an iPhone. The iPhone is for everything else. Just take both with you since they can fit in your pockets. The best cam is the one that’s always with you.

[@mykolapelyp9065]

Do not forget that 13Pro cameras is 33% better than 12 pro max, its true

[@someguysomewhere100]

The go pro wins in areas that you will only use a GoPro for (rough fast movements) the iPhone wins in areas where you only use iPhone for (very low light - no one uses their GoPro at night).

[@dr-kg1yz]

Hi I was wondering if you could explain this a little more since I’m new to this. So for taking photos and videos at night, would a Go Pro be better than iPhone XS Max do you think? Or is the iPhone still better in this case?

[@wildingnemo5869]

Speak for yourself i use my go pro at night and it sucks lol

[@rowenaormenita9783]

I guess having both options are better. Iphone 13's features are awesome enough to do daily vlogging as it has the stability, sharpness and quality needed. But if it calls for some action like watersports, bunjee jumping and tracking, it's best to have an action camera on the side as it more handy and is built for these kinds of activities. You wouldn't want to have your $1000 iPhone 13 attached on your head while bunjee jumping, would you??

[@adavis8423]

Personally I went for the GoPro, main reason is my kids. I can hand them that and all they have to do is press one button it comes to life and records immediately. The stabilizer is the best thing for shaky kid videos. Insta360 would be nice but battery life and internal memory was not enough for all the videos they make. Also it's big enough not to get lost in the couch 😅.

One thing you didn't test: how does the iPhone preform in the rain and/or under water? The HERO 10 has a hydrophobic coating in the lens cover that seems to work well in the rain. Just a thought.

I bought my first action camera two weeks ago and it is Go 2. I’m happy with it. Much easier to start shooting than with my iPhone. Also I am satisfied with quality, their app and opportunity to correct video after shooting.

Thanks! But one question: Did you really set the Gopro to "Wind" or "Auto" when doing the audio test? Have done some mtb runs with GP10 in pretty much wind and that was notnear that high levels of wind noise. If having it in stereomode I use windslayers.

[@SeanOzz]

For a vlog at Disney a phone is great but for snowboarding or some other action gopro is a must.

At the end of the day I'd still use the GoPro even if it didn't have the best video. Utilizing a phone like this is just bulky on the front of my bike. I've also used my GoPro in the water. Last time I tried that with my phone it went bananas like you were pressing the buttons.

[@mikuszarins6438]

exactly

[@targadave]

I’m also in the camp of finding a 360 deg action cam way more useful than a traditional Go-Pro Hero. I exclusively use my GoPro Max for wing foiling and kite foiling (see my avatar). That is definitely not an environment you want to put an IPhone in. Plus you need serious image stabilization so it’s really what the GoPro was designed for. On the other hand he IPhone is always in my pocket ready to take snap shots or video during everyday life. I’m really tempted to go for the 13Pro Max since still living with my 8 Plus

[@QASIMAUTOVLOG]

Awesome vids man. 20 minutes ago you had me sold on the 10 in the GoPro version comparisons. I'm trying to work out how to get the best stills whilst out riding dirtbikes though and it really seems like the iphone gives it a good belting in this area.The issue I have is that you can't remote activate/control the iphone like you can a go pro or a rooted android phone with custom button mapping etc. The go pro also has better mounting options and awesome vid stabilisation. But I feel at the end of the day stills is what people consume the most in this scroll world. Tough one!

[@onlymyopiniontech]

I’m guessing you used the stock iPhone app. I find the stabilization using FilmicPro a lot better. I guess the average person is going to have a phone anyway so it mores question of do you also need the GoPro. If you’re really doing action stuff I’d say yes, just for the durability.

Great testing, both these new cameras do a great job. And I do tend to prefer the iPhone 13 Pro for all around photos and video quality.

Really amazing job. I would say if you want to shoot action videos or action photos gopro 10 is the best. But if you are not a action guy, iPhone 13 pro is a good choice.

[@jonkrause6714]

Good review and thank you. I did unofficial similar comparison while on Magneto longboard (skateboard) using 13 max pro and GP 10 going downhill 0.8 miles (1.29km). I like 13 max pro for all the things you mentioned in addition to I use it for all my editing - i stopped using computer editing. I’ll always favor GP for shear durability and water resistance - I had fun in the rain with GP. I have 4 GPs (8,9,10, Fusion). Every device has pros/cons, but in the end it’s got to meet your personal use function. For me whether I choose to rock climb, boogie board or longboard - my go to camera is GP, hence I have 4 of them ha ha ha.

great post. so im thinking of getting the iphone for videos instead of the go pro, which video editing app do you use? with a good attachement and case would the quality of the video still be great for action sports like biking ?

[@jonkrause6714]

@@jl9365 thanks, JL. I use the Videoleap app because it’s simple and can be used any time on the phone. Plus, it has a lot of resource You Tube videos to reinforce its best use-I’m still learning so much and not truly using to its potential. The only issue with an iPhone would be stability of the video as it may excessively “image bounce”, but I think it would work fine. I only use the GoPros more for durability, use in water/rain, but also cheaper to replace if I break it. Good luck and hope the biking vids are fun to make and edit. 👍

exactly, i mean if you are just going to use the camera for taking pictures and stuff then its kinda relevant but almost everyone who has or wants a gopro wants it because all of its other qualities as well. they want to use it as an actioncamera not just taking pictures. if they did some tests in action and some durability tests and see wich one will last longer Everyone will see why gopros are made and what they are made for. And why iphone and gopro isn't a relevant comparison.

[@melvinbergstrom4282]

yeah iphone works for vlogging but gopro is better for everything else

[@dougmorato]

GoPro needs a larger sensor. This 1/23" sensor is super outdated for 2021. iPhone is the best option for most users, dynamic range, colors, stabilization (GoPro is only better when is really bright), low light, HDR, ProREs, etc... are better. Well, let's wait for DJI Action 2. Let's see if DJI will surprise us again.

[@melvinbergstrom4282]

ok sure, but think about what gopros are made for. i wanna see some durability testing and comparison between the two and then you will see a broken iphone after the first test and the gopro wont even have a scratch. OH and by the way gopro has way better stabilization. he even says that in the video.

[@PrestonGladd]

Do you use an HDR LUT or do you change your entire library to HDR for editing the iPhone HDR footage? I use FCP and I tried both, but if I want to use other footage I can't use a new library option.

[@louloowebvideos]

Great, really an amazing video, where a Smartphone can compete with an action camera ... it's amazing. Although I wouldn't put an iPhone 13 Pro Max in the sea, but I admit that the image quality and stabilization in some cases exceeds the image quality of the GoPro Hero 10 Black, except in slow motion where it is take the top. Astonishing and interesting comparison ... even if the iPhone costs 2 to 3 times the price of the GoPro anyway, it must be emphasized.

[@FunBitesTV]

Whats pretty interesting is even something old like a galaxy s7 is around equal to a gp7/8 black EXCEPT for stabilisation, yet you can pick one up with a cracked screen for $30...and not that much more for one not cracked. I used to use them on my drones.
