Most Popular Action Camera: GoPro Hero Black
Whether you mount an action camera to your car, body, or quadcopter, you need tough enough to withstand shocks, but good enough to get great photos and videos. We asked your favorites last week and then looked at the top five action cameras . And now? Your beloved.
As you would expect, the GoPro Hero 4 Black took first place in the poll by a wide margin with 63% of the vote. The GoPro line is well known and well established in the field, so it makes sense to support them. In addition, their aftermarket value, available accessories and peripherals, and widespread support make them a good choice.
The second place was taken by the SJCAM SJ4000 action camera , which many consider a GoPro clone, but it nonetheless fits many of the same peripherals, is just as easy to use and just as durable – for a fraction of the price. He received 15% of the vote. The two Sony models in our review tied for third place, each with exactly 7.3% of the votes and 87 votes each – the Sony 4K action camera and Sony HDR-AS100V deserve your praise for their reliability and largely cost-effective . At the back, with just under 7% of the vote, was the tiny, versatile Mobius ActionCam , small enough to be mounted on a dashboard or used as a surveillance camera for motion detection.
