Action & 360 Cameras
Action and 360 cameras include SJCAM and Insta360 models for action recording, all-around capture and body-worn video. They suit sports activities, travel and everyday recording, with the choice starting from the perspective you want to capture. Compare directional filming with 360° coverage, then consider video resolution, screen layout, memory capacity and the controls included with each camera configuration.
Action and 360 cameras cover sports recording, travel footage and everyday video in several formats. The range includes SJCAM and Insta360 cameras, with action cameras, 360 cameras and body cameras available. SJCAM options include models with 4K or 8K video, dual screens, a touchscreen or a wireless controller. These differences provide useful starting points when matching a camera to a particular recording style.
How to choose action and 360 cameras
Start with the view you need: filming in a chosen direction, capturing the surroundings in 360° or using a body-worn camera. Next, compare video resolution, the stated frame rate, screen design and memory capacity. Check the exact model and package contents, as versions within a series can differ in memory and included modules. Photo resolution and screen size are separate considerations from video resolution, so compare these specifications individually.
- Action cameras: SJCAM action cameras suit recording activities and events. Compare the available video modes and controls for your intended filming style.
- 360 cameras: This camera type captures the surrounding scene in all directions. Choose this format when an all-around view is central to the footage.
- Body cameras: The SJCAM A50 lists 4K video, GPS and WiFi. Consider the body-worn format when planning how the camera will be used.
- Screens and controls: Options include dual-screen and touchscreen models. Some configurations include a wireless controller.
- Memory and modules: SJCAM S10 versions offer different memory capacities. Certain packages include a Boost Pod module.
For sports and travel recording, the capture format and preferred controls help narrow the choice. A 360 camera suits all-around footage, while a body camera provides a format intended for body-worn recording.
