How to Answer

Answer Example
"I would definitely say because of how much I use it and enjoy it, I'd say my GoPro Hero 10 Black. I am a big cyclist and a mountain biker. So, in my spare time, I bike 50 miles a day, on average. And I always have my GoPro. But the thing that I love about it, is sometimes I take my cat on my rides with me. So I'm there, capturing their every expression, and everything uploads right to my phone into the app, where I can edit any video I shoot. I have a few on my YouTube channel if you're interested in seeing a minute of Miles, my Mountain Biking Cat."
