Deal Details
I reserved this sweet little action camera online - which rang up online as $223.46. When I went to pick up in-store it had a blue sticker, which designates 50% off. $111.68+tax for a super capable action camera with front screen (very usable with latest updates). YMMV

Don't have a Microcenter here but MGR Special sounds like it might be a one off thing only at that one location.

Don't have a Microcenter either. Just here to give props to the product. I have no (well... limited) Hero experience but this camera is impressive. Their Mavic Mini is also fantastic. Waiting for a deal on the Mini 2.

Same here, quality is great. And the front screen can't be beat.

Yes, from what I have seen, the GoPro is still better. The DJI action cam has some big battery overheating issues when capturing higher res for long durations.

I had mine for about 4 years. It works very well. In case of really bad weather it might freeze and shut off, but I also lost the sd card cover for it. It does lack important features of modern action cameras like horizon leveling, H.265, and 120fps 4k. I wouldn't say overheating is an issue since it happens on all cameras newer than this one.

I went back and forth with used gopros on marketplace (the DJI is a little harder to find used - and price hovers around 200) I figured even at ~$230 it is probably worth it. They had 2 in stock in MI

I've had gopros in the past (hero 7 black) and I've always hated the user interface/menu. DJI is marginally better but a lot snappier & more responsive. Can't go wrong with either honestly. More reliable and feature-rich than the cheap bizarro brands you'd find on Amazon.

I picked up a mount so I can use the action with the DJI Osmo mobile 3, so I can have software and gimbal stabilization - which is pretty dang sweet.

Had this for a few years, brought it to Disney to get some nice shots. Works really well, have a l lot of fun with the slow mo and various other modes. For this price its just great to have and mess around in the pool and stuff.

Will say the mic sucks when it gets wet. What i mean is you have to shake the water out otherwise its very staticy. But we have some great water slide and jumping in shots to add to the family pics. Yes it will get hot if you run it for awhile at high. Never had it have a heating issue but its noticable if you touch it.

As an aside for you all to consider. I took this to a friends house to play in the pool when i first got it. Went to swap the battery and did not seal it perfectly. There's an orange seal around the battery holder and it did not close clean. (This might seem obvious but make sure its fully sealed before you jump in - mine had a little snag and diddnt realize). Well water got in and it was dead. I was quite upset at my stupidity. Anyway I checked online and turns out I was still in the time frame to sign up for DJI care refresh. Sent the thing in, no questions asked and they checked it out, said they needed to repair a par but they sent a brand new camera. Cost me 50 bucks or something but just a heads up for those to explore. I would jump on this just to play around with. Get some nd filters and a hand tripod and youre good.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Guess GoPro is still king in this field. If anyone has opinion on the insta360, please let me know too. Some of their sphere effects looks pretty cool

The Insta360 one X2 is a ton of fun to mess around with. You are truly capturing everything that is happening. Directly editing on a tablet or phone works well, plus there is a PC editor that works like a standard video editor. The image quality is pretty good, but mainly looks good for social media related viewing. The mic isn't great. Lots of gear hook to it too. Usually $50 off every few months, or bundled with a small discount.
