15 Best POV Action Cameras in 2019

Have you ever wondered how people manage to capture the most unbelievable photos and footage of different sceneries, sports and action? The wider views and clear images that you cannot even achieve with your high-end camera, well that is the doing of an action camera. If you have no idea what that is, then worry not, because you are about to know everything you ought to about action cameras.

What are Action Cameras?

 

As its name suggests, an action camera is a camera that is designed to take photos and record videos of an event or action while being immersed in the action. For instance, rather than having a friend film your hiking experience, you can attach your action camera onto your helmet and have it capture and record exactly what you see around you, which is commonly referred to as point of view (POV) footage’, thus giving whoever sees the photos or footage, a first-hand experience of the events.

 

Action cameras come with several features that make it easier for you to capture events clearly and effectively, as well as attachments to mount it onto different preferred sites such as helmets, bicycle handlebars and car dashboards.

What are Action Cameras Used For?

 

Action cameras are mainly designed for recording of outdoor action. They are most commonly used in outdoor sports such as hiking, skateboarding, surfing and cycling among others. Since most of them are waterproof, they can also be used in recording aquatic sports such as swimming, snorkeling and diving. Action cameras are also very common in the filming of extreme sports such as skydiving, bungee jumping, zip-lining, and paragliding just to name a few.

 

Given their small size, they can also be used to record adventurous activities such as nature walks, picnics and ordinary car rides and you can even mount them onto drones, and use them to capture aerial photos and videos.

What are the Biggest Action Camera Design and Quality Trends for 2019?

 

Over the last 4 years, we seen great improvement in the design, features, and quality of action cameras. The size has been greatly reduced to compactly fit into the tiniest of spaces, unlike the regular camera, which is quite rugged. Their sound recording quality has also been improved, such that more of them do not capture unwarranted noise such as the wind blowing, at the expense of sound from the event being recorded.

 

It is worthy noting that more of these cameras are now waterproof right from the box, which quells the need for a waterproof case, which is known to be cumbersome and it reduces the quality of the sound and image captured by the action camera.

 

There has also been an increase in the depth at which you can use an action camera underwater, with some supporting up to 50 meters depth underwater. The picture quality of the modern action cameras has also improved thanks to the increased megapixels, resolution and angle of view of the camera lenses. Rather than having just HD resolution, there is also the Ultra HD resolution, which makes it possible to watch the resultant footage on the widest screens possible without becoming grainy or losing clarity and vibrancy.

 

Image stabilization technology has also improved a lot, making it easier to record on the go without worrying about shaky footage and blurry images. While the quality of action cameras keeps improving, it is ironic that they have started becoming more and more affordable, thanks to the influx of manufacturers into the niche of action camera production.

5 Key Aspects to Look for When Buying an Action Camera

 

Investing in an action camera goes way beyond simply walking into a store and paying for the first model you lay your eyes on. You have to understand the most important features and find a camera with specifications that will enable ease of use, without compromising the quality of pictures and videos captured. Some of the most important aspects to consider when buying an action camera are as follows.

  1. Image/Video Quality

    To achieve optimal clarity of your videos and photographs, the resolution, frame rates, megapixels and image/video stabilization technology such as gyro, anti-shake and optical stabilization play a huge role. The higher the megapixels and resolution, the clearer your footage. You have to ensure that your action camera comes with the latest versions of features when it comes to megapixels, frame rates, resolution and image stabilization.

  2. User friendliness

    An action camera is usually carried around to wherever you need to record some action. Since you will be busy taking part in other activities, there is no doubt that a camera that’s easy to use will make it easier and safer to record as compared to more complicated cameras. Apart from less complicated controls, the best action cameras have better device and app compatibility, offer touchscreen capabilities and can be controlled remotely. It should also come with accessories for mounting the camera onto different sites, a waterproof casing if it is not waterproof right from the box and a user manual among others.

  3. Strength and Durability

    Action cameras are usually exposed to the most extreme conditions including water, wind, high speeds, extreme temperatures, high altitudes and possible falls, just to name a few. For this reason, it is very important to ensure that the materials used and the build quality are up to par, to ensure the camera lasts longer. Its battery life should also be reliable, and the recharge period shouldn’t be unnecessarily long.

  4. Sound Quality

    When recording action, it is important for the action camera to be choosy on which sounds to pick up and record and which ones to avoid. The best action cameras usually make use of noise reduction technology to ensure that only the important sounds are recorded while the unwarranted noise is left out. This ensures higher quality and clarity of sound from the footage.

  5. Waterproof

    When purchasing an action camera, you need to consider if you will be using it in water. The best ones are usually waterproof straight from box, but some often come with a waterproof casing. You also need to know the camera’s supported depth underwater. Most of these cameras are safe to use up to depths of 10 to 30 feet underwater, but some can go as far as 50 feet deep.
