What Is The Best Sports Camera?

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

The GoPro website claims that the GoPro is the best selling wearable HD camera for sports in the world, but a bigger question is, are they also the best cameras? Of course, we must first make sure we understand exactly what the GoPro aims to be before we can answer this question.

The GoPro is an HD camera that is intended to be used by people while engaging in sports, whether this is skiing, surfing, hiking, skydiving, or anything in between. The GoPro cameras come with special mounts that are intended to be used for different activities; for instance, there is a helmet mount for bicycle sports, and there is a special mount for skiing, in case you want to strap the GoPro onto one of your poles. In fact, if you wanted to strap the GoPro to the front of a race car, they even have a camera and mount designed specifically for that.

Before the GoPro can be compared to other comparable products, there are two questions that must first be answered about the GoPro. The first question is whether the GoPro actually works without getting damaged; the second question is whether the video taken by the GoPro is any good.

Considering its small size, the GoPro is an amazingly sturdy device; skiers have found that they can take big spills without hurting the camera, and surfers even find that the waterproof case truly is waterproof! And to answer the second question - whether this small camera truly can take good quality video - the answer is not only affirmative, but is affirmative to a shocking degree.

And so the question of whether the GoPro is the best available option becomes easy to answer, with the knowledge that the GoPro truly does all the things it claims to do. In short, the answer to the question is yes; with the clunkier CountourHD and Drift HD170 (which is also more expensive than the GoPro) as its main competitors, the competition is not very close. And what's more, neither of the GoPro's main competitors offer as many accessories or take video with clarity to match the GoPro; truly, the GoPro is in a class of its own!
