Actioncam

Ulefone subsidiary RugOne has revealed a rugged smartphone called the Xsnap 7 Pro that lets you detach an actioncam from within the body and wear it on your bike helmet, while the handset acts as a footage processing mothership.

The DJI Mic Mini is a small wireless mic kit that ticks most boxes you’d expect from a wireless mic in today’s times … with a tiny form factor. Now, more than one year after it's release, it' still continues to offer exceptional value for money.

DJI's upping the ante for image quality out of its action cams with the new Osmo Action 6. It's the first of its kind to get a variable aperture, and it's got a larger sensor that should make for better photos and videos than its predecessor.

Insta360 launched its powerful X5 action cam just a few months ago, and it's already got another model in its 360-degree lineup to tempt adventure junkies. The X4 Air packs a ton of features for 8K shooting at a compelling price point.

GoPro makes some pretty fancy cameras aimed at pro-level users, and the new Lit Hero … well, it ain't one of them. It does deliver the basic goods, however, and it is the first-ever Hero to feature its own onboard fill light.

It's been six years since GoPro refreshed its 360-degree action cam, and the new model brings plenty of new features and thoughtfully updated hardware. The Max2 promises 21% more resolution than than competing models, and easily replaceable lenses.

DJI continues its foray into the world of actioncams in a big way – or actually, in a small way – with its tiniest camera yet, the Osmo Nano. The tyke can be magnetically mounted on hats or other clothing, and is waterproof down to 10 m (33 ft).

Insta360 has gone and made another tiny shooter for capturing adventure and POV footage. The versatile $450 Go Ultra packs new internals for more imaging power, storage, and runtime than the previous model – and it's smaller than your AirPods case.

HoverAir Aqua is the world's first water-native drone – fully waterproof, self-flying, and built for watersports. Toss it in, press a button, and it floats, flies, and films. I've seen it in action, and it's going to change the game.

Insta360 flipped the switch on action cams when it first released the first 360-degree One RS in 2022. Now, the company has just upgraded its flagship line with the all-new X5. But for a camera that was already near-flawless, what could it have done more?

Your GoPro may be all very well and good, but can it shoot in two directions at once? The Soocoo S50+ can, allowing it to serve as a cycling actioncam, rearview camera, and accident-recording dashcam.

The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is the latest action camera on the market. The successor to the Ace Pro gets quite a few features including Leica-engineered color profiles, a dedicated Pro imaging chip, 8K video quality, and most importantly, AI processing.
