other GoPro have had issues; Michael has had issues with the GoPro Max too

update: my GoPro Max sometimes has this issue too

500 USD

update: GoPro Max is waterproof by default, so that avoids having to put a case on it which lowers the quality of the sound

editing app is less feature rich than the Insta360 ONE X2

GoPro Fusion is an older 360 model of GoPro
