these work well as budget webcams as well. not sure what the resolution ends up being but you can plug them in via micro usb and get a good video feed in a pinch.

IDK, video quality looks like it was taken with a potato. My 3 year old phone takes better video than this. Was looking for a decent camera for vlogging and was considering GoPro Hero9 Black or DJI Osmo.

Avoid GP9. Too many issues.

I can't comment on this specific model, but I use another (off-brand) 4K action camera as my dash cam. I'm assuming that all of these action cameras have essentially the same (basic) functions.....so take with a grain of salt.

I remove the battery - since leaving batteries in hot/cold cars will quickly degrade their performance/cycle life, anyways.

It is powered via USB cable to a cigarette lighter adapter. With this setup, as soon as I start the car, the camera powers up. All I have to do is press the "power button" before I shift my car into drive/reverse. It records on to a microSD card in 10-minute clips. As the microSD fills up, the oldest 10-minute clip is automatically over-written.

Hope this helps! Smilie

There are a ton of these that are all made in the same factory. They're all pretty basic and quality is decent to average. Great for underwater footage because if the case leaks, who cares.

4k is often just scaled up resolution, so not always more quality.

from personal experience, 2 main issues i have. (list is long)
the blasted thing over heats in 5k/2.7k recording sometimes even at 1080. lasts about 5-10 minutes before shut down. only way i found to keep it from shutting down is using external power.

Using it as webcam is glitchy. connection via usb-c and micro hdmi port (i bought the media mod and cam link 4k) the software they provide for webcam is buggy as balls. camlink 4k sometimes recognizes and most of them no signal (its not the cable. i swapped out 3 cables)

gopro needs to stop concentrating on hardware and focus on the software side.
i would recommend trying out insta 360 one x2 instead of gp9b. although kinda pricey.
