Actioncam

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.

​DJI has added a new member to its Osmo range, which began with a stabilized 4K hand-held back in 2015. We noted a bit of minor GoPro rivalry when we got the original Osmo in our mitts, and now a clearer shot across GoPro's bows has been fired with the release of the Osmo Action.

The RX0 II is clearly aimed at vloggers, with a wide-but-not-GoPro-wide 24mm lens, in-built stabilization, a surprisingly decent microphone and a flip-up screen for selfie shooting. These combine to make it a super-portable waterproof pocket video camera with some neat stills shooting ability.
