The answer depends less on camera quality than on what the package lets you avoid doing in the air. The useful way to decide is to look at the actual logistics, what you want to learn or experience, and what the current listing includes for your date.
Hands free is a real advantage
A tandem flight is easier to enjoy when you are not worrying about dropping a phone. Operator-mounted action cameras can capture the launch and flight without making you manage equipment.
Ask what you receive
Before paying for media, check whether you get raw clips, edited clips, photos, a download link, or a memory card. Also ask when delivery happens and how long the files remain available.
Do not assume your phone is allowed
Policies about handheld phones vary. Follow the pilot’s instructions rather than planning around a selfie you saw online.
Price the memory, not the gadget
If this is a once-in-a-lifetime activity, a simple media package can be worthwhile. If you are traveling on a tight budget, the view itself is not worse without a video.
