Action cameras can help capture your biggest adventures. Since their birth in the early 2000s, action cameras have offered an amazing way to capture a first-hand, POV perspective that has become a necessity for content creators, thrill-seekers, and filmmakers. In 2020, the best action cameras have advanced even further, offering features that make your content <em>that much<\/em> better. So, whether you\u2019re dropping in on your next half-pipe run or putting in fresh lines in the backcountry, here are the top 8 best action cameras for your upcoming adventures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Best Action Cameras:<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>GoPro HERO12 Black<\/li>\n<li>GoPro Max 360 Action Camera<\/li>\n<li>Insta360 ACE Pro 8K Action Camera<\/li>\n<li>Insta360 X3 Pocket 360 Action Camera<\/li>\n<li>Sony RX0 Mark II Digital Camera<\/li>\n<li>DJI Osmo Pocket 3<\/li>\n<li>DJI Osmo Action 4 Camera<\/li>\n<li>Ricoh THETA X 360 Spherical Camera<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>What to look for in an action camera:<\/h3>\n<h4>Size, shape, and weight<\/h4>\n<p>Since you\u2019ll be doing strenuous and adrenaline-pumping activities, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that the more portable the action camera is, the better. Also, consider a camera that\u2019s ideal for different mounting options because it allows for hands-free recording.<\/p>\n<h4>Image and video quality<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to consider the image and video resolution of an action camera.\u00a0Choose a camera with a high frame rate (measured in frames per second or fps) for smoother cinematic footage. As for still photos, action cameras that that are higher in megapixels will result in better resolution. You should also look for RAW capability, as this is the best format for those who want to post-process their photos.<\/p>\n<h4>Battery life<\/h4>\n<p>Action cameras are meant to be taken on long bike rides, mountain treks, and other types of athletic or adventurous excursions, which is why it\u2019s important to choose one with a long battery life. This way, you won\u2019t have to worry about charging or changing the battery every time the camera\u2019s power runs out.<\/p>\n<h4>Durability<\/h4>\n<p>One criteria you should never overlook is durability. This will give you an idea of how adventurous you can get with your camera. Most action cameras are shockproof, freezeproof, and waterproof, but it\u2019s best to look specifically for those features before making a decision. After all, you want an action camera that can push the limits and survive the most rugged of environments.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Action Cameras Breakdown:<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101034\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GPHERO12-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"920\" height=\"921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GPHERO12-1.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GPHERO12-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GPHERO12-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GPHERO12-1-256x256.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/gphero12.html\">GoPro HERO12 Black<\/a> (<span class=\"dynamic-data\" data-type=\"price\" data-sku=\"GPHERO12\"><\/span>)<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/gphero12.html\">Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The GoPro HERO12 is your rugged companion for wild escapades, featuring the buttery-smooth<br \/>\nHyperSmooth 6.0 stabilization that keeps your footage serene, even when your adventures are<br \/>\nanything but.<\/p>\n<p>Dive in \u2014 literally!
