While the latest mirrorless cameras and lenses are now much more able to handle rough treatments and bad weather, action cameras are a great choice for more adventurous types – and are more compact too.
The clue is in the name – action cameras are tough, waterproof, and capture brilliant video and stills in places and situations where conventional cameras cannot.
Small, wearable and easily mountable, they can capture POV footage, and one of the best examples of recent years, the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro, is now much cheaper in Amazon’s Spring Sale.
You can now get it for $309, a saving of nearly 10%.
DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro key features
- 40MP 1/1.3 inch sensor

- Screens: Dual OLED High-Brightness touchscreens

As we said in our original ‘Recommended’ review, ‘the lack of 5.7K is a shame, but 4K is more than enough for most and does offer advantages in terms of storage space and balancing the burden when editing on your computer… if there is ANY chance your filming in wet or dangerous conditions then the Action 5 is the no-brainer choice.’
