Action Camera Accessories Types

The presence of the modern trend for an active lifestyle and its video fixation could not but give birth to such a type of device as small-sized video cameras that are resistant to shaking and other environmental influences. They are called action cameras. 

If conventional camcorders have evolved in the direction of increasing picture quality, then action cameras have evolved more towards image stabilization and greater protection from mechanical damage. Shooting under water also did not bypass the attention of manufacturers of such gadgets.

When people shoot on the move, they themselves are in difficult or dangerous conditions. It happens that there is no way to hold the camera, and even more so to manage the settings. Therefore, the main mode of operation of the camera is to work with automatic settings. 

To expand their capabilities, a huge number of all kinds of accessories have been invented for them, and the most basic and massive are certainly the mounts. 

Mounts

They offer to mount cameras on different parts of the human body, it can be said without such an accessory to use the camera for its intended purpose simply will not work. Everyone has seen how action cameras are always present on people’s helmets when skydiving.

Action cameras are very often used when mounting them on a moving vehicle, when mounted on a bicycle handlebar, for example, excellent videos are obtained.

Fasteners should not only be easy to use, but also very reliable. The very idea that the gadget can come off while driving makes its owner purchase only high-quality products. 

Monopods

Another popular element for shooting yourself, with it you get original images similar to shooting from a drone. Almost everyone knows about taking a selfie.

Charging device

It is difficult to imagine work without them, there is never enough energy, and you have to recharge in a variety of conditions.

Memory cards
