The popularity of GoPro has not waned since it was introduced in the market years ago and has continued to be a strong brand when it comes to action cameras.

With the growing market for this equipment, other manufacturers have come up with their own action cameras for consumers.

When it comes to recording, it is at 1080p at 30fps and 720p at 60fps in NTSC. Conversely, in PAL, it can be set at 1080p at 25fps and 720p at 25fps. One has to invest in waterproof housing, though since the kit does not come with one. With a market price of $129, this is not too bad for a performing, robust action camera without water protection,
