Hats off to the effort and commitment to doing this. That was a ton of work for a short video. Surprised how good the iPhone was relative to the GoPro.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks!!!

[@MichaelMerkle]

Totally letting the price tag beside you're right. I never would take a >1400€ device into the sea or jumping with it from 15 meters or mounting it on a bike or helmet

[@JasPaul1988]

Good and Hard work you did. It's awesome and I never seen before like this video. This video is clear cut to understand the difference between I phone 15 and Go Pro 12. Thank you for this video ❤

[@joshuadrewlow]

I disappointed how bad iPhone is against GoPro 😆

[@toddysurcharge771]

Sure if you ignore the action parts of the two cameras (that ride footage was so soft on the iphone from its "VR" system struggling to handle it). Also the gopro is like $400 vs the $1400 iphone....I would rather risk the gopro getting destroyed from water or being dropped or whatever over the overpriced phone.

[@torbjornhb]

This isn't just about testing. It's about pure dedication! And high class comedy as well. Well done!🙌🌟

This is the review I was looking for. Really appreciate the efforts you have taken.

[@georgios9384]

Amazing video, extremely informative and entertaining! It seems you spent a lot of time and effort to produce this great content, thank you so much 🙏 I have noticed that GoPro was more sharp with more details in almost every footage comparison except the one during night where in general I would not expect much if one does not have a camera with a low aperture lens

[@SandhiyasDiary]

Didn't expect the drone test😮🔥 soo much of hard work Thank you ❤

[@dkxskineffect]

Thanks nice review. I learned alot.

[@richg3334]

First, outstanding presentation. You're my first "Subscribe" hit while laughing (felt like an AGT judge smashing the glitter button). Second, I wish I'd googled "compare iPhone 15 to GoPro" three hours ago, it would have saved me way too many rabbit holes because... Third, this video and the iPhone 15 I just bought saved me $500+ since not only does the 15 compare surprisingly well against the GoPro, it beats it hands down in several instances (both audio and video). Now all I have to do is find the accessories for handle mount and underwater diving before I leave in five days.

And the drone music just MADE IT! Thanks Ray!I I would be interested to hear you opinions as well as see the footage. Especially since you're seeing it pre KZbin compression. From where I'm sitting they are darn close. . .

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks! I'd say it's close in some cases, but others is more challenging (like the fuzziness seen in a few iPhone scenarios, or the much darker image on the GoPro at night).

The GoPro clearly is the better camera? I was thinking about the drone setup you had going on there. Would cable tying the cameras under the drone be more stable rather than on top? Great vid btw!

I'm actually really impressed with the GoPro Hero 12. The video looks better to me in pretty much every shot.

Everything besides low light

[@russoturisto4289]

Except that the GoPro 12 gets pretty warm. Check out my test kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6Ktm597as-sb9ksi=3ay8FyiMdz4-MUgR

[@toddysurcharge771]

@@jcody_parker yeah gopros are trash in low light but you aren't really doing a lot of actiony stuff at night anyway due to limited visibility.

if you think oversharpen is better...

That was crazy committment !🎉🎉🎉. Footage = so much more realistic with a gopro, just not in low-light but the audio capture is so much better on the iphone surprisingly !

[@ilkoallexandroff]

My iPhones 8, 11, 12 Pro & Mini have also been in sea water hundreds of times, and I’m basically use them instead of GoPro in the sea, still all of them perfectly fine! Cheers, great video, you went through everything!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Awesome - good to hear there as well!

[@steveedney8011]

That was the most entertaining video you have ever done! Well done 10 out of 10 :-) I’m not surprised the guy on the bike at the end was sprinting. He must’ve been pretty worried seeing you chasing after him!😊

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks! 😀

[@henrikhammaren4118]

Thanks to the best reviewer on the internet! As usual I think the Gopro is a just a tad to sharp and contrasty straight out of the camera. I guess you where shooting in medium sharpness and natural color. I wish that they could decrese the sharpness just a little in the medium setting as the low setting is a little bit to soft without any sharpening in post. When it comes to stabilization the Gopro looked suprisingly shaky in the mountinbike scene. I wonder if it was too dull and the ISO was set too to low. The stabilization has in my opinion, since the Hero 10, come to a level where I don´t want it to be better for action scenes, but in this case it didn´t look near as good as I have been used to....

[@TravisVarga]

GoPro really stepped up their audio - thanks for the awesome video.

[@sidsid6380]

I was on the fence with the GoPro, but your video convinced me to pull the trigger

[@SupperUpper]

Super nice video, the sprinting with your wife, the swimming and drone part, etc. really enjoyed that one! What drone was this?

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks! It's a DJI Avata.
