Action cameras can be attached to surfboards, drones and other moving objects (including pets). They are small, durable, often waterproof and easy to operate.

Since there are so many models on the market, we have selected the best of them for the top action cameras of 2017. It includes models that have been approved by experts from such authoritative publications as Techradar, Lifewire and Tomsguide, and is on sale in Russian stores.

10. iSAW Edge

It costs 9 930 rubles.

The specifications of this camera look so good that it is hard to believe that they are true. The manufacturer declared:

  • Water resistant up to 40 meters.
  • The presence of a Wi-Fi module.
  • LCD display with real-time preview function.
  • Full compatibility of the camera body with GoPro mount.
  • Shooting video with a resolution of 1080 comes at a speed of up to 60 frames / s, and in a resolution of 720 - up to 120 frames / s.

The disadvantages include a small screen and the fact that 4K video is shot at up to 10 frames / s. The model is well suited for shooting slowly moving objects. We can say that this is the best budget action camera of 2017.

9. GoPro HERO Session

Price - from 9 980 rubles.

One of the cheapest action cameras with an 8MP matrix offers excellent image quality in 720p and 1080p formats, comparable to more expensive brothers, but in a much smaller case. The waterproof (up to 10 meters) device does not require a bulky GoPro protective casing. This makes it an excellent choice for water sports such as surfing, scuba diving and rafting (although the camera is not suitable for deep diving). To change the frame rate, resolution and other settings, you must run the mobile application. There is also Wi-Fi.

The disadvantages of the device include the lack of an LCD display and 4K resolution.

8. GoPro Hero5 Session

You can buy for 20 865 rubles.

An improved, but also more expensive version of the 9th member of the 2017 action camera rating. Here are its main features:

  • Capture 4K video at up to 30 fps. Video with a resolution of 1080 dpi can be shot at speeds up to 90fps, 720 - up to 120fps.
  • Electronic image stabilization.
  • Wi-fi
  • Voice control.
  • Water resistant up to 10 meters.
  • The large Record button located on top of the case starts and stops recording, while the user does not have to worry about various modes, this is automatically processed by the application. Although there is a simple menu, for those who like to control everything.

But the manufacturer did not worry about the presence of a screen in the camera.

7. Garmin Virb XE

Can be purchased for 37 190 rubles.

The model, made in the popular "boxed" style, is characterized by excellent video quality and water resistance (up to 50 meters) without an additional casing. All this makes Virb XE one of the most powerful modern action cameras.

Among its advantages:

  • the presence of GPS, Wi-Fi and an accelerometer;
  • the presence of an LCD screen;
  • 12 megapixel matrix;
  • the ability to record in MPEG4;
  • video with a resolution of 1080 pixels can be shot at speeds up to 60fps, 720 - up to 120fps.

But with a resolution of 4K, the camera can not shoot. In addition, it is quite bulky compared to other models.

6. Sony FDR-X3000R

Cost - from 37 250 rubles.

The biggest advantage of the FDR-X3000R is the advanced Balanced Optical SteadyShot (BOSS) technology - image stabilization that works in all resolutions and recording modes.

  • The device also withstands diving to a depth of 60 meters and comes with a Live-View remote control that allows you to control the camera from afar.
  • Using the FDR-X3000R, you can conduct interval shooting with a resolution of 8.3 megapixels and create time-lapse video.
  • There is an LCD screen.
  • There are such useful options as GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC-chip.
  • 4K video is shot at a speed of 30 frames / s, 1080 - up to 60 frames / s, 720 - up to 120 frames / s.

You can refuse to buy this model, perhaps, because of its high price.

5. Xiaomi Yi 4k

It is offered for 14 990 rubles.

It is one of the most beautiful action cameras on the list. It features a 2.19-inch LCD touch screen for easy viewing and shooting.

The benefits of Yi 4k include:

  • 12MP sensor
  • the ability to shoot in 4K resolution at 30 fps; 1080 - from 120 fps; and 720p at a speed of 240 fps.
  • Built-in Bluetooth and support for 5 GHz / 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, so you can connect a remote control and upload and edit your pictures wirelessly.

However, the camera does not have moisture protection and its picture quality is worse compared to the Sony FDR-X3000R and GoPro Hero5 Session. However, the price is much lower.

4. VTech Kidizoom

In stores, it costs 6,690 rubles.

The best action camera of 2017 for a young man who often does stunts on his skateboard or bicycle. This model is specially designed for children from four years. The strengths of VTech Kidizoom are:

  • durability, water and shock resistance;
  • the availability of mounts for a bicycle and a skateboard;
  • Also included is a strap so that the camera can be attached to the child’s hand;
  • the presence of three built-in games;
  • the maximum resolution is 640 × 480 pixels, the minimum is 320 × 240 pixels. Shooting in both modes is carried out at a speed of 30 frames / s.

Weakness: Not for adults.

3. Olympus TG-Tracker

The average price is 22 990 rubles.

In third place in our review of action cameras is a device with a futuristic design and a very wide lens (204 degrees). Here's what the camera boasts:

  • GPS, compass, shock sensor, barometer and thermometer;
  • the presence of two nozzles in the kit: convex for ordinary shooting and flat for underwater shooting;
  • water resistance up to immersion to a depth of 30 meters;
  • shooting 4K (30 frames / s), 1080 (up to 60 frames / s), 720 (up to 240 frames / s);
  • a battery that lasts 3 hours without recharging;
  • excellent stabilization in all modes;
  • Wi-Fi remote control.

But what he cannot boast of is ease compared to other action cameras.

2. TomTom Bandit

The average cost is 15,000 rubles.

This camera with an LCD display and 16 MP matrix has many built-in sensors, including GPS, an overload, acceleration and fall sensor, as well as the ability to connect to an external heart rate monitor. The data collected using the sensors are used for video editing, allowing you to select the most dynamic frames.

Video can be recorded in 4K at 15fps, at 1080 (up to 60fps) and at a resolution of 720 (up to 120fps).

The main disadvantages include the incomplete waterproofness of the camera. Although the case complies with the IPX8 standard, that is, it can withstand depths of up to 50 meters, the camera cover is made according to the IPX7 standard and is resistant to splashes only. For those who want to conduct underwater shooting, it is necessary to purchase the best version of the lens cap.

1. GoPro Hero5 Black

Available for 27 009 rub.

GoPro is the leader in the camera market and releases the best action cameras of 2017. And the Hero5 is the best of the best, thanks to:

  • excellent 12 MP matrix;
  • voice control;
  • the presence of GPS;
  • two screens, one of them is touch;
  • the ability to record video in 4K resolution with a frequency of 30, 25 or 24fps, in 1080 resolution with a frequency of up to 120fps and in 720 resolution with a frequency of up to 240fps;
  • recording capabilities in H.264 and MPEG4;
  • digital stabilization;
  • waterproof (up to 10 meters) without a protective cover.

Among the shortcomings, users note meager equipment (charging, holder and 2 Velcro), and a slightly overpriced one.
