GoPro Hero 8 vs Crosstour CT9500 real world test

[@Lufimix]

Very realistic test - Thank you!

[@skippysadventures1234]

Thanks for watching and appreciate the constructive comment 😃👍

[@zulfphotography]

The go pro is smooth as butter

[@skippysadventures1234]

Zulf Photography thanks for watching 😃👍 Yes, the GoPro is a lot smoother and deals with shakes far better. However, it is a lot more expensive.

[@zulfphotography]

Good to see the comparison with a GoPro. I'm testing the older Crosstour and have been pleased.

[@skippysadventures1234]

Zulf Photography I should have added a photo of the cameras in their mounts. This is the latest CrossTour CT9500 that was released in November 2019. It has a square lens.

[@zulfphotography]

@@skippysadventures1234 oh i see great job the new one is a lot better

[@ulrikam303]

Nice comparison video. I have just bought the Crosstour, even though the Go Pro is obviously the better camera. It is more in my price range, for what I want it for. I've spent the afternoon researching action cameras, and the prices are prohibitively expensive for the high end models! 😵

[@skippysadventures1234]

Ulrika Mcleod thanks for watching! 😃👍 Yes, the high end cameras can cost quite a bit. There’s always the option of getting an older GoPro Hero 7 instead of the latest GoPro Hero 9 and saving yourself a packet. Also, I’m sure spending a bit of time in adjusting the CrossTour settings to suit the particular requirements could increase quality of videos - I used it straight out the box and didn’t attempt changing many options.

[@Kungs.]

The thing is with the Crosstour the software doesnt always work as its supposed to. The lens angle settings do not work on mine.

[@skippysadventures1234]

Thanks for watching. Yes, there were a few niggles that bothered me with the CrossTour, most notably was how easy it was to disable the microphone. Also changing to wide angle view disabled the electronic image stabilisation. I haven’t taken much time to really get into the settings as I’ve decided to stick with the GoPro. A few months back I sold my DJi Osmo Pocket - now that’s a very good camera for blogging and panning shots because it has a built in gimbal.

[@GreatWolfSpirit]

Does the CT9500 have a motion detect feature?

[@gioolioplus]

I think that Crosstour is a 720p enlarged to 1080p

[@pencils1951]

It's rather strange the CT9500 here is set at 60FPS where it is being advertised at a max of 50FPS in 2021, has the FPS been reduced?

[@skippysadventures1234]

Yes, very strange indeed. Be sure to check the resolution because an increased resolution results in a lower frame rate. Thanks for watching 😃👍

[@miguelvassallo7150]

I believe at 1080p it can be filmed at 60fps but when filming at 4k max 50fps

[@pencils1951]

@@miguelvassallo7150 Thank you, Justin.

[@Lethal_Venom]

Gopro for sure, having image stabilization is a huge plus

[@marians1805]

I have this Crosstour and the image stabilization is very efficient.

[@Lethal_Venom]

@@marians1805 Maybe your idea of very efficient and mine is different because from what I can tell in the video these two cameras are not on equal footing. I've always had the belief that you get what you pay for. I find it hard to believe that you are going to get gopro quality out of a $100 camera.

[@DanielsCollection]

Obviously you will get a better camera if you buy the gopro. Does not take a genius to figure that out. This video is to compare the two and see what you will miss out on if you go for the cheaper option.

[@Lethal_Venom]

@@DanielsCollection You miss out on any video stabilization at all with this cheaper camera. When its listed as having stabilization and in fact has none or does a horrible job at at doing so its just proves how cheap it is. I was not expecting wonders out of this thing I've always bought gopro's because I'm not cheap or broke, I just wanted to see how this thing compares and it sucks.

[@DanielsCollection]

@@Lethal_Venom Well there is image stabilization. Maybe not as efficient as a gopro or dedicated powered gimbal, but there is image stabilization. And you can find plenty of examples on youtube. For a camera under 100€ this is a really good option.

[@ericcccccable]

There is no comparison possible, the GoPro is doing better in all cases. Better to film with your smartphone than with the Crosstour. Its price is therefore still too high for this image quality.

[@skippysadventures1234]

ericcccccable absolutely, although it may be difficult to attach a smartphone securely to a mountain bike as. The GoPro quality is far superior but costs three times as much as the Crosstour CT9500. Hopefully my real world video will help people in making a decision on either of the action cameras. Thanks for watching 👍

thanks for this comparison :)

[@skippysadventures1234]

Thanks for watching!

[@joshjosh1386]

Thanks for the experiment and the video!!!

[@skippysadventures1234]

Thanks for watching 😃👍

[@BikepackingJourney]

I dont have suspension on my bike but I dont have any shake like you mate on the croosstour 9500. That noise is a power on /off button moving, so put a tape on it, white painters tape and you will not hear that noise. Crosstour is good camera for the price

[@skippysadventures1234]

Marcin Kaszubowski I used both cameras ‘out the box’. I’m sure there will be a way to adjust the camera settings to lessen the screen shake, but the point of the video was a direct ‘out the box’ comparison between the two. Yes, the CrossTour is exceptionally good value for money, but at the same time a person has to weigh up the cost versus image quality that they desire. Thanks for watching my video 😃👍

[@BikepackingJourney]

@@skippysadventures1234 next time change settings before you compare anything. Pointless video here

[@Aror82]

Marcin. Do you recommend this camera. I will be using it mainly for MTB trials in woods and wonder about image stabilization ?

[@BikepackingJourney]

@@Aror82 camera is good, it's lack of wide view in 4k display with stabilisation, medium view is only available in this quality. It's good camera for the price but if you like mtb than you better wait for price drop for gopro 8 this year when they release gopro 9. I am waiting for gopro 9 or I will buy go pro 8 at the end of the year, more stuff from this camera on my insta, pm me

[@junvervasig]

this is heaven and earth comparison :D

[@skippysadventures1234]

Junver Vasig it’s a real world comparison. Too many camera reviewers talk about the cameras but don’t show people how it works in real world situations. Hopefully my video has helped people decide which camera (budget or high end) best suits their needs.

[@junvervasig]

@@skippysadventures1234 yeah your review really shows the difference. and how action cameras should be reviewed and not just walking in a random forest and reading the specs. kudos ;)

[@rustamabd]

What's with the wavy motion of Crosstour? Was is mounted on something unstable?

[@skippysadventures1234]

Both cameras were attached to the same dual camera mount as shown in the video thumbnail. I then attached the dual camera mount to my handlebars and also to my chest mount.

[@scorpa106]

Tbh for what I'm using it for just to record my scooter rides makes no sense spending £300+ on a gopro when I got my phone and a Sony A7III.

[@skippysadventures1234]

That’s true because it all depends what you use the camera for. For my requirements I needed a rugged, waterproof camera for snowboarding, so I settled on the GoPro. It’s interesting to note that there isn’t too much of a difference between the yearly new release of GoPro. A GoPro 7 is almost as good as a GoPro 8, and similar for a 9.

[@scorpa106]

@@skippysadventures1234 yeah if that's your main camera and you got the budget for what you're doing you want the best specs you can get and also if you have the money. But if it's something you occasionally use for something little and specific like just documenting your commutes for more personal use then the cheaper option is the route I'd say. I checked for Hero 7 and its still around £200+

[@playzonetime6463]

they bought have a reasonable price. 👍

[@skippysadventures1234]

Thanks for watching

[@luc1ferblack]

crosstour does not look 1080 the red car is blurry

[@wx6843]

So which one do you recommend?

[@skippysadventures1234]

See my conclusion at the end of the video. It all depends on what the camera is being used for. If you’re serious about filming then get the GoPro, but be warned that GoPro Cameras and accessories cost a small fortune! If it’s just to have a bit of fun for a low price then get the CrossTour CT9500 which comes with a box full of accessories.

[@ThStg]

Crosstour 9500 As personally I would NEVER, EVER!!! go anywhere near a go 💩 far too expensive & definitely far too overated for what you are supposed to get. But, there people STUPID enough to buy these things & spend a small fortune on a action camera that's simply only a, 3rd of the rice, probably less, & gives almost just as good results. The only camera I really & highly recommend is the DRIFT INNOVATION STEALTH ( IF AVAILABLE!!! BUT, QUITE RARE or at least very difficult to get hold, of ) or if not any of the DRIFT INNOVATION RANGE they are simply the very best their field ( sadly not cheap anymore) But, best in video quality & sound against most others & they ain't bad either without a external mic But, with a decent quality external mic the quality can go right up. But, I would always use a camera that has a review screen on it not just a menu ( set-up screen) But, the choice is always down to the actual individual.

[@KimzYt1]

WHAT THE BITRATE BRO

[@skippysadventures1234]

KimZ thanks for watching 😃👍 I can’t recall what the bitrates are. Next time I make a camera comparison video I’ll make a note of the bitrates.

[@arastujshah]

Superb review, thanks a lot for your hard work. I have a goPro for a few years now and my friend just got a cross tour so was curious what it provides for such an inexpensive camera. Please check out my channel for some diverse content - extreme sports, yoga, animal and travel videos

[@skippysadventures1234]

Thanks for watching!

[@SM-od7dv]

For the price, I do not hesitate, I buy the Crosstour. For my use.

[@skippysadventures1234]

Serge Verplaetse thanks for watching. Each to their own, some put performance above cost, while others are on a strict budget and will find a way to make a more cost effective camera work better by taking the time learning to adjust the settings for each different condition.

Besides stroking the ego and sporting bling looks like GoPro lost big time. Ok side by side comparison and especially in price!
