When buying one it is good to see what accessories they carry but in most cases all affordable models are packing almost everything inside unless you are going with something like GoPro because if so then we have to get them all separately.ĭurability and Battery, due to the nature of its application action cameras are made to be rigid but some high-end models can offer more in case you are a very active in extreme sports with extremely robust body or even indestructible chassis but for the affordable part they are usually good enough. FOV itself is mainly present at a wide angle like 170 degree but if possible find the one with an ability to adjust the FOV for your creativity.Īccessories, a single action camera alone is not going to be as useful without the mounting because its charm is on how we can put them on different angles and places. We can mount the compact camera in almost any object to achieve a certain interesting angle hence it is best to change the mounting place from time to time during the shoot to give a different perspective. Size and FOV, one of the best parts of an action camera is their size because this will allow you to be as creative as you want with less limitation. 4K however is best on flagship models and if your activity requires a high quality, crisp image then the highest resolution with high frame rates will look amazing. Most affordable cameras like Akaso Brave 4 Vs V50 Proare best when used in 1080p but those who can spend more will want something like 4K ability yet, note that most of the time they will be interpolated in cheaper models.

Video Quality, since action camera main function is to capture moving footage or video, do consider their image quality first.


They are very versatile for different types of application and the best part is their compact form as well because one of our limitations when using a traditional camera is how to mount them to achieve a certain angle. They first appeared more than two decades ago but GoPro popularized the camera and hence some of us still call an action camera as a GoPro despite it comes from other brands.
