Actioncam

When it comes to actioncams, the name that everyone knows is GoPro. The company has just announced its latest model, the Hero9 Black, which is promised to be sharper, smoother and "screenier" than any of its predecessors.

Chances are good that you've not been getting much use out of your Hero8 Black for the last few months. Now macOS users can put their actioncams to work as a webcam thanks to some beta software launched by GoPro.

Back in 2018 we first heard about the Idolcam, a video camera designed specifically for vloggers. At the time, it was about to be the subject of a Kickstarter campaign. That project was successful, and the camera is now in production.

360-degree cameras are the action cams of the future – and Insta360 has found a way to combine their amazing capabilities with a more traditional GoPro-style setup for monster image quality. Meet the modular Insta360 One R, co-designed with Leica.

Remember when camcorders were simply … camcorders? They've now splintered into several sub-types, although GoPro has set about combining three of those into one unit, with its new Max.

The Snap Mount is designed to make donning an actioncam easier than ever – utilizing magnets.

GoPro has pulled back the curtain on the Hero8 Black, with improved stabilization, and the ability to connect hardware add-ons to the actioncam.

This tough, splashproof 4K action camera is hoping to take a bite out of the action camera market with smart pre-editing tools.

Drift Innovation is celebrating its 10th year in business by announcing the wallet-friendly and battery-efficient Ghost XL.

Insta360 has taken its excellent FlowState image stabilization tech and used it to build a remarkable new class of action camera.

​When it comes to gimbal-stabilized HD cameras, we're used to models that are attached to control handles, or that are mounted on drones. What if you want one that's just a stand-alone unit, though? Well, that's where the Stacam comes in.

​If you've ever wanted to copy the bullet-time effect made famous in The Matrix, where the camera appears to move around someone as they're frozen in action, then you might like the Wingo Pro. Taking a low-tech approach, it lets you swing your actioncam around your body.
