Save Vs Splurge: Action Cameras To Get You Going

If there is one gadget that became a rage this year, it has got to be the action camera. With this invention, we said goodbye to the usual video recorders that, TBH, were a hassle to use — and we only realised this once we were introduced to this marvelous tool. These mini camcorders are capable of capturing moments in a way that selfies fail to do. From videos to photos, these gadgets are a boon to any photographer or a techie.

The one word that an action camera is synonymous with is Go Pro. The company has proven, over and over again, that it is the best when it comes to producing action cameras — their Hero series is definitely a class apart. The latest to join the bandwagon is the Go Pro Hero 5. It’s smaller than the rest, but far more powerful. It gives you the opportunity to take 4K videos and 10MP photos while also including features like time lapse. Greater stability, one button control, and easily mountable on any gear, this camera is every solo backpacker’s dream come true, especially if you’re looking for a bit of a splurge. And it is waterproof!
