DJI OSMO ACTION

While not quite able to fill the HERO9 Black’s sizeable shoes, this action cam from DJI offers both a colour front-facing screen and 2.25inch rear touchscreen and captures 60fps 4K video. And it costs £100 less to boot. £329, dji.com

GOPRO MAX

If you fancy another approach entirely, why not wave flat 5K footage goodbye and upgrade to 360-degree 6K? While not as much of a whizz with conventional vids, the GoPro Max captures immersive, hyper-hi-res footage. £480, gopro.com

SJCAM SJ8 PRO

When you’re looking to shoot your stunts for less, the SJ8 Pro is the perfect, wallet-friendly cam. It’s lightweight, knocks out 4K at 60fps, offers super smooth slow-mo at 720p 240fps and costs less than half a HERO9 Black. £199, sjcam.com
