Is This Camera Good?

[LukeMeyerCool]

First off, I know this camera is good. I'm just not sure if it's good for what I need.

Here's a link to it

Apparently it's used to capture sports, but I wanted a really good cheap camera to capture YouTube Videos. I won't even be moving around a lot in the videos. I'm worried that the camera will have some weird rounded look in the video recording as opposed to the normal rectangular shape.

I believe GoPro cameras have rounded edges in the video recording. I dont want that.
Also I want to know if I can mount it to a tripod.

The camera (for what it's offering) is basically dirt cheap. At least that's what I think. Can someone just clarify so I don't buy something unusable.

GoPro cameras can have the fisheye effect removed. When using cameras you need to learn about post processing of videos for best quality.

If it was me I'd be getting a GoPro for quality/price/value.

I mean if I can fix any issues I have while the recording then I'll be fine

The fisheye mus be removed afterwards. It cannot be removed while filming. GoPro studio has this option, just select it and you are done. Adobe products can also be used but GoPro has their own software GoPro studio which is very nice for non-professionals.

I find GoPro has such great recording quality and the GoPro studio is pretty good that it makes it very fun for amateur users or 99% of their clients. And everything has a GoPro mount available such as drones. They are kind of the IPhone of the video world and accessories are a dime a dozen.
