Action Camera Roundup

We frequently review Action Cameras on our YouTube Channel and often asked for recommendations.

This page will list all the cameras, with links and notes. We will update the list with more cameras in the future. Sensors and chipsets for each camera are listed where available.

We mostly use Action Cameras for recording product reviews, onboard footage and hatcam recording of RC Planes and recording scuba diving.

Generally prefer lower contrast and lower saturated results, or at least have control over them.

Top Of The Range - GoPro competitors, true 4K

BEST NON GOPRO ACTION CAMERA

SJCAM SJ8 Pro

Sony IMX377

Ambarella H22 S85 Top recommendation, this is the best quality action cam I have used. 4K 60fps and Gyro stabilised 4K 30fps. 2.33" touch screen. Good audio apart from too much noise cancelling in wind. External microphone and underwater housing available.

SOOCOO S300 Sony IMX377 HiSilicon Hi3559V100

True 4k 30fps with stabilisation. 2.35" Touch screen. Blutooth remote. Sharp and saturated results but let down by significant colour fringing in the corners from the cheap lens. EIS works very well at 4k. 1080P

SJCAM M20

Sony IMX206 sensor

Novatek 96660 chip This is the camera I use for the wide angle workbench views in all my reviews. Much cheaper and better results than my GoPro 3+ Silver. Vibrant colours and sharp video and great still images too. Video Out for FPV, gyro image stabilization.

MOBIUS flat form cameras

Aptina AR0330 sensor

Novatek 96650 chip (possibly - according to dashcamtalk.com)

We love the Mobius cameras, simple cheap and great video results. Only 1080 30fps but the video looks better than most alternatives. Audio is Loud and there are lots of video adjustments available in the setup.
