Going to Florida next year for my honeymoon, will be doing all the parks, Kennedy space centre, big cat rescue etc.

Planning to take my D90 for some things, and got my phone for quick snapshots but was looking at device to do video with, showing experinces etc now I am guessing the go to would be an action cam of some sort? If so is GoPro the best or should be looking at the DJI stuff?

Or is there another alternative, budget up to £500 really, but with black Friday coming up doing my research now.

Cheers

What mobile phone do you have? You can get surprisingly good footage from most modern phones and won't cost you any extra. If you get caught taking a GoPro on any of the rides you can expect a sharp escorted exit from the park so be conscious of that.

Have a P30 Pro, to be honest I had not thought about looking to see how if that could do what I wanted, but will have a look, also the Osmo Pocket might be something I will look at as well
 
So had a look at the P30, only does 4K/30 and you are limited to 10 min clips only, it can do 1080p/60 and no limit. So with that in mind, as want the option of 4K60 need to look at other option, so far on my list is the Osmo Pocket and the Osmo Action and the GoPro Hero 7 black, only reason not looking at the 8 is its a new form factor so new accessories are needed for it, plus I do not like the integrated mount, and non interchangeable lenses.

I have watched loads of reviews on YouTube and you get some prefer the GoPro, other prefer the Action, and some the pocket. I am sort of leaning to the Osmo Action as the Pocket is good, but quite a narrow FOV unless you get a wide angle lens for it, but thats a) cost b) some in stock and you have to remove it before you power off the pocket and put it back in place when you turn it on so a bit of a faff.

So not sure which way to go
