Small, rugged, waterproof cameras built to be mounted where a normal camera cannot go — a helmet, a handlebar, a chest harness, or underwater without a housing.
Stabilisation is the whole product
In-camera stabilisation is what makes footage from a moving bike or a running shot usable straight off the card, with no post-stabilisation crop. It is the single feature worth comparing hardest across models, because everything else — resolution, frame rate, battery — is secondary to whether the footage is watchable.
Waterproofing and Indian conditions
These cameras are sealed by design, not by add-on housing. That matters through monsoon season, at the coast, and for any water shoot where a mirrorless body would need an expensive underwater case. Heat is the real constraint instead: continuous 4K and 5.3K recording in Indian summer shortens battery life and can trigger thermal limits, so carry spares.
360 versus conventional
A 360 camera records the entire sphere and lets you choose the framing afterwards in the app, which also produces the drone-style third-person shot with no drone. A conventional action camera points one way and gives you a finished clip immediately. 360 gives more options and costs an editing step; conventional is faster to deliver.
The parts people forget
Mounts determine which shots are even possible — the camera is half the system. Spare batteries and fast, high-endurance microSD cards are not optional; an undersized card is the usual reason a recording stops mid-take.
