Action cameras are a great invention, rugged enough to tackle the elements but small enough to slide into your pocket.
Whether you’re snowboarding, surfing, skydiving or just taking a little hike on a drizzly winter day, an action camera is a great choice to capture those moments.
The good news is that these dinky devices are now more capable than ever before, with high-resolution options, great image stabilisation and more mounting options than anyone can count.
