I don't have a GoPro. I've looked at comparisons online. The Xiaomi is not visibly "softer" than the GoPro, AFAICT. Its low light performance is not great, but again, I don't know how the GoPro performs in low light. In any case, at $90 online, it's okay if it's a little below the GoPro in terms of performance. The Mobius ActionCam is surprisingly sharp for its price and size. But it's only 30fps and therefore quite choppy. Also has a bit of rolling shutter. Here it is riding an RC car and a model rocket. I'd say it's good enough for that sort of thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psu8JkJYwBs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psu8JkJYwBs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbh2O4_UWT0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbh2O4_UWT0
