I've been on a binge lately.
- two action cameras, a DJI Action 3 and an SJCam SJ11
- a Film Devices magnetic car mount kit (for the amazing price of $110)
- a used Lensbaby Composer Pro with Sweet 35 optic from MPB
The SJ11 was half the price of the Action 3, and both produce quality video with excellent stabilization. The DJI has better features, including some voice control commands, but I think the SJ11 is the better value.
The magnet kit is capable of mounting my Canon R7 inside the car (I haven't tried it with the R5M2 yet), and I can easily mount the action cams inside or out, on any window or even on the roof/hood. It appears that I got one of the last kits from Barn Door in Connecticut, because they're sold out now. I had previously purchased a Delkin Fat Gecko dual-suction mount, but the magnets are MUCH easier to move around. Retail for the kit is around $400. I searched the interwebs for weeks, but couldn't justify that price, and then stumbled on the Barn Door outlet. It's possible to piece together a kit from Amazon, but the Film Devices kit is complete and the magnets are superior because they have multiple 1/4" and 3/8" mounting points. I was lucky to find it.
