An action camera is a small, durable camera designed to capture high-quality video and photos in extreme conditions. These cameras are often waterproof, shockproof, and lightweight, making them ideal for outdoor activities like surfing, skiing, and mountain biking. They typically feature wide-angle lenses to capture expansive scenes and can be mounted on helmets, bikes, or other gear. Many action cameras come with built-in stabilization technology to reduce shaky footage, ensuring smooth videos even during intense movement. Popular brands include GoPro and DJI, which offer various models with different features, such as 4K video recording and live streaming capabilities.
