8 Best Action Cameras

When this COVID-19 stuff gives us a little break — admit it — you are going to have to get out of the house and go make some history. The best way to make history is with a fantastic camera. Here are the eight best action cameras.
Like your smartphone, action cameras can shoot high-quality 4K videos and images, but can you can mount them on your phone, your helmet, surfboard, or handlebars? It would not be an easy task to use your smartphone in this manner. Our phones are not built for that.
Action cameras, on the other hand, are made for adventure.
An action camera allows you to capture your experiences right from the center of the action. They have a robust, compact design–making them portable (most fit into the palm of your hand) and extremely durable. Unlike your smartphone, an action camera lacks the delicacy that makes it difficult to record. No smartphone can stick with you while you’re scaling the side of a mountain or riding a big wave.
Action cams allow you to shoot epic content detailing each moment. 
The good news is, there are plenty of advanced action cams to choose from. While GoPro is the most recognizable name, there are some fantastic cameras out there you may not be familiar with.
To help you pick a camera with all the features you are looking for, here are eight of the best action cameras of 2020. We’ve also included 8 practical tips to take the guesswork out of shopping for your next action cam.
