GoPro HERO13 Black

I picked this because it is the go-to action camera for anyone who wants sharp 5.3K video, strong stabilization, and a rugged waterproof body without fussing over settings. The swappable HB-Series lenses are a real plus if you want to change the look of your shots later. Before you buy, check that you have a fast microSD card and a spare battery or charger, since high-resolution video eats through both quickly, and confirm the mounts you need are included or budgeted for.
