TOP 5 Best Affordable Action Cameras in 2018 & 2019 

What do you use your action camera for and what camera do you use?

I can't even afford "budget" cameras. 😔 Anyways great video

Nice video. Considering all models, can you make a rank focusing solely on image quality at 1080p?

Thanks for talking about low light and external mic support with each camera. Very helpful

Great video, thanks! I'm interested in being able to charge while recording. Do you have a list of the best real 4k action cameras that will record while plugged into an external power bank?

I hear that strong “comrade” accent. “If he dies, he dies” 😎😉

Hey From Western Australia! Thank you mate!... Very Informative! -

what cameras would you recommend with an external mic that can be used if on chest strap for martial arts classesbut also be great for bike riding on handlebar? thanks

So if I was able to get the v50 elite on sale for the same price as the v50 pro which one would you recommend?

Can i use these cameras also on my 1080p HD TV?

Does the firefly record in 1080 at 60 fps?

How do the older gopros stand up to these? Gopro 5 and 6 you can find in similar price range 👍

Thank you so much for this video I just ordered the akaso v50 pro after watching this!

Does anyone know if the canon elph hs 300 camera is good for RU-vid videos if not what are some good options

Hi mr Alex, for low light recording which one is the best from EKEN H9R Plus, Mijia 4k, or Firefly 8SE ??? tnx

Hi, Great Review. I've a question for you, if possible. I'd like to use action cam on MTB, in hard conditions as rough terrain, gravel, rocks (mounting it on chest mount or handlebar mount) and what cheap camera you advice me to buy for best stabilization? I'm looking for SJ8PRO what's better for you? ThankYou

Great video man. I had no idea there were options out there like this like this.

where would. you rank the new apeman a80 4k among. those cameras? is it way worse?

Thanks for this amazing video, now I know the perfc Action Cam for me!

Hey, this is just a idea that could be pretty fun to watch and helpful, since you said there was cameras that where so bad they didn't make it into videos, why not make a video of action cameras to avoid? Any how great video!

I don’t really know what I’m doing when it comes to action cameras, but does anyone have any suggestions/advice for gimbals/stabilisers that are wearable or able to attach to harnesses?

Does exist any budget action camera with the abilitty to use go pro accesories?

Thanks for this video. There were dozens of them on Amazon and I didn't know which to choose.

What do you think about xiaomi seabird

Thanks for providing this helpful video.

how the hero5 compare since is close in price in particular used ?

Can you suggest me which is better action cam (for holidays) Yi 4k , Xiaomi Mijia 4k or sj8 Plus? thank you in advance....

Very impormative review great help👍🤙

Great video Alex, I was just looking for the video like this I was thinking to suggest it to you. Thanks.

What is the best budget action camera that still has good sound in the waterproof case? Are there any, or do I need to go with a more expensive Garmin or go pro?

akaso v50 pro 30fps 4k how much mp in this camera

Good morning. I have a Kodak Easy Share camera that can record a video while attached by USB to a power bank. Do any of the cameras in this video have the same capability?

Out of all of them which one do you think is the best?

Thank you so much. I did enjoy it and it was very informative.

Would you put the Xiaomi Seabird in the bezt but list as of now, summer 2019?

Awesome love these videos!

This was really useful thank you !🙌🏽🙌🏽

We are looking for an affordable camera we can take snorkeling and kayaking. We want to take videos, but still shots are more important for us. Also we would use them mostly in day time. Do you recommend any of these cameras?

Thx Alex, I've been looking, comparing and doubting for almost 2 months buying a replacement for my SJCAM400, your review made it a lot easier for me to choose. I go for the Akaso.

hello according to you and what you have tried what is the camera with the best image quality at a maximum of 130 euros Thank you for your answer

Does Akaso V50 Pro have video stabilization for 1080p? and is that possible to record video with smaller lens angle not 170 but let;s say 90 degrees wide?

hi I need an advice. I want to buy an action camera. I want to know which camera I can live stream from hdmi to hdtv to another room and at the same time record and also the camera lcd display should be on.any recomendation.I will use it for prayer. thanks.

Hi guys i bought my Yi Lite about 4 months ago and recently my touchscreen stopped responding it still records perfectly at 1080p but i can not access the menu on the screen or wifi. I used a method that I seen on YItech website when your camera crashes to take off battery an put it back in with sufficient battery life. The camera did froze a few times right before the screen when out. Any suggestions? Thanks everyone.

After i turnoff the camera, and when i start it back up, the new recording starts overriding the old files. Any solution to this? I am using generic NEEWER brand. the LOOP video setting is OFF.

Hi Alex, I really like your action cam reviews but I am struggling to narrow down the cameras I might buy because I have one specific requirement which is not often covered well in the manufacturer's data. I want to mount the camera under a microlight and switch it on and off while flying it. It is important to realise I can't see the camera or press any buttons unless I land the plane. I have seen people in this situation leave out the battery and power the camera by USB, when they apply power it starts recording and when they cut power it stops. This is basically dash-cam function except some cameras which claim dashcam ability still require you to press a button on the camera after turning on your ignition. No good in my case. Also I think all cameras will not close a file in a readable form if you just cut the power, so I am assuming people who get this working have a camera which records the video as a sequence of small (like 1 minute) files. Do you think that is right? If so and anyway could you give me a list of cameras which would be suitable? You might say why not use wifi, well every one I have tried (not many) lose contact after a short while and require you to push buttons on the camera to re-establish contact. Even the little remote controllers some have are a bit of a problem since the same button is used to record and stop recording. SO you have to memorise what the last button press did. A wire and an on/off switch is really preferable. Other features I'd like are image stabilisation, cost about $100, good quality images but I don't need 4k. Sound not an issue. Sorry to ask you this long question.

New viewer here. Great presentation. This was extremely helpful. Thank you!

thanks

Excellent video man! Really helping my action camera search! Cheers!

Thanks just the video i needed to see to help me decide!

Please continue your review for these action cameras it really helps!!! I just sub

Great review, un biased and thorough, kudos. As well I was surfing Amazon and got bowled over by the shear amount of choices, the ones that had floated to the top of my list you reviewed 3 of. V50 it is : )

akaso v50 pro 4k 30fps eis on how much mp in this camera tell me

Of all the reviewers for action cameras you are TOP! The majority don't even show actual footage - well done.

Hi Alex, It seems to me that the only reason the Akaso is your no.1 is because it's available on Amazon. If i were to choose between the Akaso V50 Pro and the Firefly 8SE, based purely on video quality and ordering from a Chinese website was not a problem, what would you recommend? feel free to recommend something else. Thanks!

Hi Alex What microphone are you using with the Akaso v50 Pro? Where did you get the latest firmware from? Cheers

I find your reviews very helpful Alex, thank you!

I would have to say the only negative I have found after playing for a few hours is there does not appear to be a way to "pause" recording then start it again. No end of world and at 120 bux I can live with that, the rest of the features work amazingly well for something so tiny : )

Great roundup. I never heard of the akaso. I use the Yi

My choice was the Firefly 8SE. Another great video. Congratulations.

Does the Akaso have internal charging or must you take out the battery and charge by itself

The Yi +seemed to have done the best in low light also you don’t talk about max field of view with all cameras and that OSAKO camera I’ve heard freezes a lot when you start it and images are just ok but not great.

Great cam reviews. If I couldn't afford the YI 4k+, what would your second choice be? I like the Akaso V50 Pro and the regular YI 4k.

Want a good action camera to start my videos of outdoors hunting fishing and street car what do you recommend? And if I'm using one hunting should I put on waterproof case?

How does the GoPro hero4 compare with these? Im trying to mount one of these on my helmet. I only have $100 to spend. Any advice?

Hi Redscull, which one would be best for indoor recording? One for 100-200$ range and one under 100?

Great review. Love your accent.

trawo or eken h9r+? I think trawo is better

Hi, what do you think about the eagle 4k ? I wanted an action camera for less than 100 hundred and I saw lots of reviex about this camera. But there is no stabilisation so idk..

Just in time for Christmas! :)

Great review sir! And the accent is hilarious! Subscribed!

@Redskull have you tried the Rollei 540 or 550? Are they worth considering?

Great video dude, Quite informative. At one point I seen a Food Basics shopping cart, so it looks like someone was filming close to Water Street in Cambridge, Ontario lol. Take care.🇨🇦✌

If you have to choose between akaso v50 pro vs akaso v50 elite ... which and why is better??

Which would you recommend for snorkelling and has good mobility stabilisation and microphone

What will be the best action cam to record video on little League baseball games. I post them on my RU-vid channel and I want to try to get the best quality but not brake the bank for one. Right now I use a body security cam that has a wide view where you can see the whole field. Take a look on my channel to see the quality I use now. I'm trying to make it look better. Thanks for your help.
