Unlike other cameras, action cameras are a completely different breed. They are not like your regular DSLRs. They are small, rough and tough, simple to operate. Their lens showcases the world in high-definition and in a wide-angle fish-eye perspective and is usually attached to cars, helmets, bicycles etc. They are specifically for POV footages. When action cameras come to mind, people usually talk about only GoPros, but little do they realize that there are other alternatives too. So here we have compiled a list of best action cameras of 2018, with buy links too.
Best Action Cameras Of 2018:
Garmin VIRB Ultra
The Garmin Ultra 30 builds on its predecessors with 3-axis image stabilization, G-sensor, 1.75-inch touchscreen, and high-quality microphones. Moreover, if you didn’t know, the original Virb introduced motion sensors and GPS to the action camera segment.
The Ultra 30’s most important feature is voice control. You can just tell your action camera to start, pause and stop recording, and you can also tell it to “remember that” so that it is easier to find certain events. Moreover, the camera’s video quality is pretty decent. it is 4K at 30fps and 1080p at 60fps. The compatible applications and Wi-Fi connection are properly designed.
Honestly speaking, the best thing about this camera is its voice control and plenty of features. But its 4K lacks stabilization, and battery life is not that good.
Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 is currently available for Rs. 40,710 on Amazon here.
