You realize that doesn't have near the quality, adjustability, and versatility of an actual DSLR? I mean its's a bit of a dumb question.

That's more than likely some Chinese rip off of a Gopro. Quality may vary. Even the official Gopro is not as high quality as an actual DSLR. The main reason to use a Gopro is when you need portability and something that "just works" ex: don't have to worry about focus or anything.

DSLRs are not great for video either though, because you lose autofocus, and they tend to be limited by 20 minute clips. The quality is good if you want to take a static shot where it won't move and you can set it up and then press record, but if you're going to vlog with it or something it can be a pain, and you also can't see what it sees if it's pointed at you.

I've been kind of toying with getting a camcorder as I've been wanting to get into vlogging. Using my phone right now but quality is not as good, and I can't put it on a tripod easily.
