Action Cameras for Summer

Summer is the time for outdoor adventures. Do your adventures include some epic water adventures like whitewater rafting, cliff diving, surfing or snorkeling? Maybe your adventurous side includes activities that keep your feet dry like hiking, biking, skateboarding or mountain climbing. Even if your summer adventures don’t take you past your backyard swimming pool, swing set, trampoline, or hammock, if you didn’t record it, did it really even happen? You need a camera that will capture your summer adventures whether you’re snorkeling in the Caribbean, climbing to the top of Mount McKinley in Alaska, or tossing a Frisbee in your backyard. Here are some of the best action cameras for summer adventures.

 Budget-Friendly Action Camera
If you’re searching for an action camera that will help you see yourself riding the waves like a GoPro at a fraction of the cost, check out the Akaso EK7000 Ultra HD 4K WIFI 170 Degree Wide Waterproof Sports Action Camera from Beachcamera.com. Just pop on the waterproof housing that comes with the EK7000 action camera and you’re ready for any underwater adventure!

Compact Action Camera
If you prefer an action camera along the lines of a “regular” camera with optical image stabilization, the Nikon COOLPIX W300 Waterproof Digital Camera is simple to operate so you can focus on catching the moment this summer instead of worrying about the settings. This rugged action camera can withstand a drop from 2.4 meters. Waterproof to a depth of 30 meters, this action camera is ready for your snorkeling excursions and swimming pool shenanigans.

That’s exactly what you’ll be able to do with the Vuze VR 3D 360-Degree Camera from Buydig.com.
