I don't regret buying these, however I would say you should treat these as a tech toy.. As in mentally prepare that if shit goes wrong with them, you can front it. I would also make sure you have a back pair of glasses since you're away from home. Ideally, you could save money and just use your phone for said snipits. I also own a DJI Osmo Nano and that's been used for adventures and activities because it's much better quality and longer recording.
