What To Look For In An Action Camera
These days just about anyone can shoot photos and videos like a professional action photographer, with pro-level cameras at hobbyist prices.
In 2002, GoPro was founded by entrepreneur Nick Woodman, who was inspired during a surfing trip to Australia but wasn't able to obtain good action shots due to amateur photographers not being able to get close enough to the action, or even having access to quality equipment. In the years that have followed, photo and video capturing technology has evolved eons–with modern cameras boasting features such as voice control and social media video streaming.
Waterproof cameras have the ability to be submerged up to 33 feet underwater without a protective housing–perfect for snorkelers and scuba divers. Plus, hyper-stabilization delivers insanely smooth video footage even without a gimbal.
In addition to standard accessories such as adapters, charging cables, and covers–an accessory bundle can take your video and photography skills to the next level with features like pocket gimbals, action camera adapter mounts, tripods, memory cards, and more. The DJI Pocket 2 Creator Combo has it all.
Take stunning 360 degree videos with Insta360 ONE X2. For the sickest action shots, FlowState stabilization takes the editing process to the next level by providing the ability to create smooth pans across footage for exporting to more standard vertical and wide-angle formats. Create dynamic camera angle changes that mimic filming in real time with a standard video camera.
