This video is a real world comparison of a Crosstour CT9500 vs GoPro Hero 8 to show the differences between a budget and high end action camera.
I attached both cameras to a chest harness and also to a handlebar mount in order to make a comparison and took them for a spin on my mountain bike.
I used the cameras new, out of the box and adjusted the CrossTour CT9500 to match the GoPro factory settings. Neither of the cameras had their software updated.
I filmed the comparison in 1080P 60FPS, 2.7K 30FPS and 4K 30FPS, however when I've come to save the video in iMovie I noticed it would only allow me to save at the resolution of lowest resolution clip at 1080P. Hopefully the differences that I noticed appear in this comparison and my conclusion still stands.
Enjoy!

Very realistic test - Thank you!

Good to see the comparison with a GoPro. I'm testing the older Crosstour and have been pleased.

@skippysadventures8371 4 года назад

Zulf Photography I should have added a photo of the cameras in their mounts. This is the latest CrossTour CT9500 that was released in November 2019. It has a square lens.

The go pro is smooth as butter

@skippysadventures8371 4 года назад

Zulf Photography thanks for watching 😃👍 Yes, the GoPro is a lot smoother and deals with shakes far better. However, it is a lot more expensive.

@ulrikam303 3 года назад

Nice comparison video. I have just bought the Crosstour, even though the Go Pro is obviously the better camera. It is more in my price range, for what I want it for. I've spent the afternoon researching action cameras, and the prices are prohibitively expensive for the high end models! 😵

@skippysadventures8371 3 года назад

Ulrika Mcleod thanks for watching! 😃👍 Yes, the high end cameras can cost quite a bit. There’s always the option of getting an older GoPro Hero 7 instead of the latest GoPro Hero 9 and saving yourself a packet. Also, I’m sure spending a bit of time in adjusting the CrossTour settings to suit the particular requirements could increase quality of videos - I used it straight out the box and didn’t attempt changing many options.

@ericcccccable 4 года назад

There is no comparison possible, the GoPro is doing better in all cases. Better to film with your smartphone than with the Crosstour. Its price is therefore still too high for this image quality.

@skippysadventures8371 4 года назад

ericcccccable absolutely, although it may be difficult to attach a smartphone securely to a mountain bike as. The GoPro quality is far superior but costs three times as much as the Crosstour CT9500. Hopefully my real world video will help people in making a decision on either of the action cameras. Thanks for watching 👍

@pencils1951 3 года назад

It's rather strange the CT9500 here is set at 60FPS where it is being advertised at a max of 50FPS in 2021, has the FPS been reduced?

@skippysadventures8371 3 года назад

Yes, very strange indeed. Be sure to check the resolution because an increased resolution results in a lower frame rate. Thanks for watching 😃👍

@miguelvassallo7150 3 года назад

I believe at 1080p it can be filmed at 60fps but when filming at 4k max 50fps

@Lethal_Venom 4 года назад

Gopro for sure, having image stabilization is a huge plus

@marians1805 4 года назад

I have this Crosstour and the image stabilization is very efficient.

@Lethal_Venom 4 года назад

@@marians1805 Maybe your idea of very efficient and mine is different because from what I can tell in the video these two cameras are not on equal footing. I've always had the belief that you get what you pay for. I find it hard to believe that you are going to get gopro quality out of a $100 camera.

@DanielsCollection 4 года назад

Obviously you will get a better camera if you buy the gopro. Does not take a genius to figure that out. This video is to compare the two and see what you will miss out on if you go for the cheaper option.

@Lethal_Venom 4 года назад

@@DanielsCollection You miss out on any video stabilization at all with this cheaper camera. When its listed as having stabilization and in fact has none or does a horrible job at at doing so its just proves how cheap it is. I was not expecting wonders out of this thing I've always bought gopro's because I'm not cheap or broke, I just wanted to see how this thing compares and it sucks.

@DanielsCollection 4 года назад

@@Lethal_Venom Well there is image stabilization. Maybe not as efficient as a gopro or dedicated powered gimbal, but there is image stabilization. And you can find plenty of examples on youtube. For a camera under 100€ this is a really good option.

@junvervasig 4 года назад

this is heaven and earth comparison :D

@skippysadventures8371 4 года назад

Junver Vasig it’s a real world comparison. Too many camera reviewers talk about the cameras but don’t show people how it works in real world situations. Hopefully my video has helped people decide which camera (budget or high end) best suits their needs.

@junvervasig 4 года назад

@@skippysadventures8371 yeah your review really shows the difference. and how action cameras should be reviewed and not just walking in a random forest and reading the specs. kudos ;)

@Kungs. 4 года назад

The thing is with the Crosstour the software doesnt always work as its supposed to. The lens angle settings do not work on mine.

@skippysadventures8371 4 года назад

Thanks for watching. Yes, there were a few niggles that bothered me with the CrossTour, most notably was how easy it was to disable the microphone. Also changing to wide angle view disabled the electronic image stabilisation. I haven’t taken much time to really get into the settings as I’ve decided to stick with the GoPro. A few months back I sold my DJi Osmo Pocket - now that’s a very good camera for blogging and panning shots because it has a built in gimbal.

@gioolioplus 3 года назад

I think that Crosstour is a 720p enlarged to 1080p

@GreatWolfSpirit 2 года назад

Does the CT9500 have a motion detect feature?

@BikepackingJourney 4 года назад

I dont have suspension on my bike but I dont have any shake like you mate on the croosstour 9500. That noise is a power on /off button moving, so put a tape on it, white painters tape and you will not hear that noise. Crosstour is good camera for the price

@skippysadventures8371 4 года назад

Marcin Kaszubowski I used both cameras ‘out the box’. I’m sure there will be a way to adjust the camera settings to lessen the screen shake, but the point of the video was a direct ‘out the box’ comparison between the two. Yes, the CrossTour is exceptionally good value for money, but at the same time a person has to weigh up the cost versus image quality that they desire. Thanks for watching my video 😃👍

@@skippysadventures8371 next time change settings before you compare anything. Pointless video here

@Aror82 4 года назад

Marcin. Do you recommend this camera. I will be using it mainly for MTB trials in woods and wonder about image stabilization ?

@BikepackingJourney 4 года назад

@@Aror82 camera is good, it's lack of wide view in 4k display with stabilisation, medium view is only available in this quality. It's good camera for the price but if you like mtb than you better wait for price drop for gopro 8 this year when they release gopro 9. I am waiting for gopro 9 or I will buy go pro 8 at the end of the year, more stuff from this camera on my insta, pm me

@rustamabd 4 года назад

What's with the wavy motion of Crosstour? Was is mounted on something unstable?

@skippysadventures8371 4 года назад

Both cameras were attached to the same dual camera mount as shown in the video thumbnail. I then attached the dual camera mount to my handlebars and also to my chest mount.

@manlykscorpa 3 года назад

Tbh for what I'm using it for just to record my scooter rides makes no sense spending £300+ on a gopro when I got my phone and a Sony A7III.

@skippysadventures8371 3 года назад

That’s true because it all depends what you use the camera for. For my requirements I needed a rugged, waterproof camera for snowboarding, so I settled on the GoPro. It’s interesting to note that there isn’t too much of a difference between the yearly new release of GoPro. A GoPro 7 is almost as good as a GoPro 8, and similar for a 9.

@manlykscorpa 3 года назад

@@skippysadventures8371 yeah if that's your main camera and you got the budget for what you're doing you want the best specs you can get and also if you have the money. But if it's something you occasionally use for something little and specific like just documenting your commutes for more personal use then the cheaper option is the route I'd say. I checked for Hero 7 and its still around £200+

@wx6843 4 года назад

So which one do you recommend?

@skippysadventures8371 4 года назад

See my conclusion at the end of the video. It all depends on what the camera is being used for. If you’re serious about filming then get the GoPro, but be warned that GoPro Cameras and accessories cost a small fortune! If it’s just to have a bit of fun for a low price then get the CrossTour CT9500 which comes with a box full of accessories.

@ThStg 3 года назад

Crosstour 9500 As personally I would NEVER, EVER!!! go anywhere near a go 💩 far too expensive & definitely far too overated for what you are supposed to get. But, there people STUPID enough to buy these things & spend a small fortune on a action camera that's simply only a, 3rd of the rice, probably less, & gives almost just as good results. The only camera I really & highly recommend is the DRIFT INNOVATION STEALTH ( IF AVAILABLE!!! BUT, QUITE RARE or at least very difficult to get hold, of ) or if not any of the DRIFT INNOVATION RANGE they are simply the very best their field ( sadly not cheap anymore) But, best in video quality & sound against most others & they ain't bad either without a external mic But, with a decent quality external mic the quality can go right up. But, I would always use a camera that has a review screen on it not just a menu ( set-up screen) But, the choice is always down to the actual individual.

@SM-od7dv 4 года назад

For the price, I do not hesitate, I buy the Crosstour. For my use.

@skippysadventures8371 4 года назад

Serge Verplaetse thanks for watching. Each to their own, some put performance above cost, while others are on a strict budget and will find a way to make a more cost effective camera work better by taking the time learning to adjust the settings for each different condition.

@arastujshah 3 года назад
