I want to film outdoor trips, cycling and maybe water activities. Is an action camera still worth it?

For rough use, I would get a proper action camera. GoPro HERO13 Black is built for situations where you would not want to risk your phone

If you are starting from scratch, GoPro HERO13 Black Accessory Bundle may be better value because accessories matter a lot with action cameras

Phones are great for normal video, but mounting them on bikes, helmets or water gear is a different story
Here more than I should be

The main thing to budget for is mounts, spare batteries and a good memory card
