Top Action Cameras For Sports Lovers.

Action cameras are the best friend of anyone who’s doing extreme sports. They can capture and record scenery that no other camera can. Their small size and wide-angle lens make them easy to capture all of the action. They are made to be mounted on your head, car, pet, and in many other objects, so that they can capture the best video even in the most challenging situation. Smartphones are brilliant for everyday footage but are too delicate for the outdoors.

One of the most popular action cameras is GoPro. But what if you want something cheaper than that? Check out our top three bargain action cameras.

Versatile – Eken H9R

EKEN H9R is a fantastic camera. It shoots videos in full HD at 30 or 60fps + 120FPS at 720P. It has built-in Wifi and a concise 2-inch screen. And it can shoot 4K video at 30fps. The most surprising feature of it is that it provides these features above for around $40.

Crisp – SJ9000

SJ has been making cameras for years and the 9000 is has remained their top seller.

Priced slightly below the Eken, the SJ4000 also offers HD and interpolated 4K. Lacking 120FPS does have some creative limitations, but if you are just looking for a crisp HD video for easy shooting, then this is our pick. At only $20 you also don’t need to worry if you break it on your adventure.

Best of both worlds – SJcam SJ8 PRO

On the higher end,  the Git 2 Pro 2K camera is built using a quality Ambarella sensor. You can shoot 4K at an impressive 60fps. For really fast capture it also offers 1080p at 120 fps an 720p at 240fps!

Captured video is also processed with image stabilization, and SJcam SJ8 PRO includes an external microphone option so you can record not only great 2K but also great audio.

This offers the broadest range of options and blends SJ cams quality with Eken’s variety of functions.

All these cams have app control, 2K/4K res and waterproof cases, the main difference is in the extended list of features. They might not be top of the line GoPro’s, but they do capture excellent video, and at these prices, you can enjoy your outdoor adventure without worrying about breaking an expensive camera.

Rising 360 star – Insta 360

The Insta 360 ONE is light compact and rising in popularity, it gives you a full 360-degree field of view. You don’t need to aim the camera, just put it in position and record. This is pricier than the cameras above, but it is the only one that lets you create a VR video.
