Best Cheap Waterproof Action Camera

I am using this waterproof remote on my fishing charters. I have the camera mounted on the mast, and when the action heats up... I just push the button and put it in my pocket or setting it down knowing it is not getting messed up. My customers are so happy to get digital video of all their action. I reccomend this with the Pentax camera with the GPS.

Use for action video camera and accessories. Waterproof, dustproof, lightweight, indestructible.

This case is THE BEST camera case available. It is 100% waterproof and indestructible. I would not use anything other than a PELICAN CASE.

I did not expect this much from an $ action camera and I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised. When I received the camera the first thing that I noticed was the surprising amount of accessories: a waterproof case, 2 adhesive mounts, 1 extra backdoor with slits for sound recording, 1 Car mount/case (intended for mounting on tripods and cars. it has a clip on the back and screw holes in the top and bottom for mounting purposes), 4 different mounts for the waterproof case, 2 zip ties, 1 wall to camera charging cable, and 1 6-inch metal mounting cable.Most of the mounts are compatible with GoPro cameras. As for the camera, the videos look amazing. Contrast is a little slow but not a problem. There are many quality, sharpness, and contrast settings in the menu (which by the way is very easy to use). The outside of the camera is made of plastic but it does not feel cheap. The camera also takes time lapse videos and can act as a motion detecting security camera. The camera takes good still photos for an action camera but if you just want to take pictures not videos you should look into a different camera. Pros: Easy to use, good quality, so many mounts!, waterproof case makes for some amazing underwater footage, extra wide angle lens, time lapse, 95 minute battery life, good dash cam, can connect to pc and act as a webcam, does not feel cheap.Cons: 720P 60Fps is not actually 60fps. It is 30fps that doubles every frame. No slow motion.

Best and cheap!

I love to shoot heavy Shorebreak and this Waterproof case can handle some heavy action!

This camera isn't cheap when compared to GoPro or other action cameras, but it takes far better pictures and video. When compared to other 1 point and shoots it's similarly priced, but it's far smaller and easier to deal with for travel, outdoor activities like hiking, trail running and biking. So far battery life and heat haven't been an issue. This little camera successfully replaced my GoPro, DSLR and point and shoot as the only thing I bring along for any activity and for how I use a camera in 99% of scenarios I couldn't be happier.

I've had several different kinds of cameras but this camera was the BEST! So many setting for all kinds of picture taking. Action, Distance, Colors.... The flip screen makes taking selfies easy and perfect the first time!

Used first time for a fashion show in NYC. The movie one button convenience is great. To take fast action still pictures put the camera in P mode and adjust the ISO rating. It will take great indoor action photos fast in fairly low light (no flash) in this mode. Most important is to READ the MANUAL that comes with the camera (it is in CD form and I printed it out and put it in a binder for future reference). Also read the parts about computer downloads. The view grid is great for composition and the wide angle/optical telephoto is superb for ever shot imaginable. I can use one lens for everything. Best with a 16 GB memory. Huge LCD screen. I almost never need the flash, so I keep it down. Best way to hold camera is thumb and index fingers of left hand at either end, in the grooves, if using the flash, then click with right hand. Experiment with P and other modes, as well as auto mode. This is an advanced amateur, semi-pro-professional camera that beats SLR cameras in size and meets their performance in lens and pixel density, and it weighs next to nothing, fits in the shirt pocket, and does video as well as still. Great buy.

Never be afraid to use your action camera in the water again! I used it everyday while in the water in Aruba. Best use was while snorkeling. Perfect!
