I assume you refer to the Go Pro MAX2...I bought one because per reviews it was actually pretty solid. Costco sold it so I could return if I didn't like it. My prior camera was the Samsung 360 - which is discontinued. Been fairly happy with the Max 2 - I do mostly outdoor shooting. I can't compare it to the Insta360 or DJI but the reviews says Go Pro MAX2 is superior in outdoors, daylight which is my main use case.

Since everything is processed on camera/phone I hope I can still use it even if they go under.

No it's Mission 1 Pro ILS it's like a DSLR/mirrorless (as in metal locking ring) pretty legit
But there's no autofocus support from the camera, so there's a lot more work to get/keep things in focus.
True, there are modding groups that take apart action cams to be able to attach a cool cine lens on it for example, now you don't have to mod.
