Actioncam - but what for?

In the age of the smartphone, we all have our powerful cameras with us at all times in our trouser pockets, jackets or handbags. After all, you never know when the perfect subject for the next snapshot will present itself. So why do we need an action cam? Quite simply: action cams are designed for special applications where any smartphone would probably reach its limits. Speaking of shocks: The small outdoor cameras don't mind, because without moving mechanics such as zoom lenses, they are absolutely robust. The action cam accompanies you on motorbikes, quad bikes, mountain bikes etc. - and thanks to the high frame rates and powerful image stabilisers, it delivers shake-free shots. Action cams are also fully in their element under water: waterproof housings guarantee that no liquid is recorded on the surfboard or during a dive, only your breathtaking images.

Purchase criteria: Which action cam will go on my adventures?

Anyone interested in the small cameras will soon realise: The range is at least as wide as the areas of application. So what is important when I want to buy an action cam?

Picture quality

Of course, image quality is the key criterion when choosing an action cam. After all, resolution and frame rate determine whether your self-shot videos will bring a smile of amazement to the faces of your friends, family and followers. Most action cameras offer at least Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels). However, Ultra HD or 4K (at least 3,840 x 2,160 pixels) is becoming increasingly popular. If you want to play your films on a 4K-capable screen, an action cam with 4K is definitely worthwhile. Even if you want to cut out and enlarge sequences, you will always enjoy very good picture quality with Ultra HD. The frame rate, on the other hand, influences how smoothly the video can be played back. The frames per second (fps) are counted here. The rule: the higher the frame rate, the better the video quality. Important: The frame rate must be high, especially for videos that are to be played back in slow motion. If you also want to take photos with your action cam, you should make sure that the image sensor is as powerful as possible in addition to the resolution. With a large wide-angle lens, on the other hand, you can capture a large section of the scene - and allow the person looking at it to fully immerse themselves in the moment.

Weight and dimensions

Action cams show their greatness when they are particularly small and light. Because if the camera weighs less than a bar of chocolate and can be compactly attached to your helmet, chest or rucksack, you are guaranteed to enjoy your adventures without a care in the world.

Microphone

The sound makes the music - or rather the video. To really draw the viewer into the action, sound recordings are absolutely essential. That's why good action cams have an integrated microphone. There are also a few models that allow you to record the sound with a headset via Bluetooth.

Operation

The special conditions under which action cams are used also place special demands on their operation. A touchscreen is great if you want to look at the footage afterwards. But what use is it if the camera is sitting on your helmet and you are wearing thick gloves? That's why large buttons are important - even on external housings - so that you can easily start and stop recordings. Additional operating elements such as voice control or remote control are a practical plus.

Storage capacity

With most action cams, you can save your videos and photos on a microSD card. However, you should pay attention to the storage format, as not every card can be used in every camera. Two main types are used: the microSDHC (HC means High Capacity) with up to 32 GB storage capacity and the microSDXC (XC means Extended Capacity) with up to 2 TB storage capacity. Due to the high storage capacity, the option of using a microSDXC card is certainly worth considering for 4K film makers.

Battery life

A really exciting adventure takes time. If you want your action cam to capture every moment, it needs a powerful battery. A minimum battery life of 1.5 hours is recommended. A camera with a replaceable battery is worthwhile for those who film continuously.

Connectivity

Just experienced and already uploaded - if you can hardly wait and want to share your photos and videos on the go, opt for an action cam with Wi-Fi. Otherwise, USB and HDMI connections are also suitable for data transfer.

Quality

Snow and cold, strong wind, masses of water – action cameras have to withstand a lot on your outdoor trips. It's best to think about the environment in which you want your model to capture breathtaking images beforehand. Do you regularly ski down the ski slopes? Then the small camera should be insensitive to cold. Or do you prefer to go diving on vacation? Then pay attention to the depth to which the action cam is waterproof.

Always the right perspective – action camera accessories

In most cases, the action camera takes its spectacular shots while it sits firmly on your helmet - from the so-called first person or first person perspective. Because when we watch it again and again, it gives us the feeling of reliving our adventure over and over again. A corresponding helmet mount is often included in the scope of delivery of the cameras. If you prefer to remain more flexible, opt for a set with additional attachments for belts, bicycles, motorcycles, etc. View the world from above: You can get great shots from a bird's eye view if you dig out your old selfie stick again. Would you like to go even higher? Then strap your action cam to a drone and send it on a flight through beautiful landscapes for spectacular aerial shots. During the underwater experience, however, an additional housing ensures that you can dive even deeper. By the way, you can discover completely new perspectives with the 360° action camera. Things are literally going round here, because the two wide-angle lenses together cover 360° horizontally and 360° vertically. Without a blind spot, the camera really doesn't miss any detail!

Action cam videos with effects – the different modes

Especially with videos of your most exciting experiences, one thing should definitely not occur: boredom. That's why many action cameras offer a time-lapse function. In this way, long scenes can be summarized and the tension maintained. And if, conversely, every detail should be shown to advantage? Then the slow motion recording perfectly highlights special highlights of your spectacular rides, jumps or diving tours. When it comes to photos, however, you can look forward to practical helpers for perfect snapshots with functions such as continuous photo shooting and the self-timer.
