Action Cam Battle Spring 2014: The Six Best

GPS · Apr 18, 2014

You can't just do something dangerous and insane these days without filming it for posterity. And while action cameras let us relieve these life-highlights over and over, they aren't all created equal. We decided to see for ourselves which one could handle your extreme adventures best.

Testing Methodology
We tested a whopping six action cameras at once. So, in addition to spending time with each camera individually (usually using a head-strap mount), I built an ugly but effective rig for shooting with all six at once. I got a solid piece of 3.5-inch by 0.5-inch wood and attached each camera to it using its own flat-surface mount. I then attached the board to an old bike helmet using velcro straps, and actually got it tight enough that there was virtually no wobble.

I packed the helmet full of bubble-wrap, taped the padding in, then used nylon tie-downs to attach the rig to the nose of a nine-foot surfboard. Directly after surfing, I strapped the camera to my head and went for a trail ride in the Santa Monica Mountains. And yes, I looked like a six-point buck of geeky stupidity.
