GoPro. The micro four thirds lens is what Panasonic and OM System (formerly Olympus) use. Looking expensive?

I'm still using the Gopro9 a lot. So easy to use. I'll look what this new mission series offers.

I'm sure GoPro will continue to serve the casual market. I think they're now seeking some options to compete with regular cameras encased in surf or dive housings? I hacen't been bothering with doing photos or video in the water, and maybe should take up an interest once I get my wrist out of its cast.

I love the water angled shots. And Drone. My friend is looking into getting a water proof drone soon that will automatically follow the surfer.

A surface drone that sits in the water, moving to keep the surfer in its sight?

B&H preorder. The weatherproof model that takes micro four thirds lenses (Olympus/ OM System and Panasonic) will have a water housing available. Big sensor. $700.

That water drone sounds a bit like a civilian mini-version of something Ukraine uses to destroy Russian ships.
