Action Cameras & POV

Action Cameras for Hikes, Rides and Outdoor Trips

Action cameras are compact cameras made to record activities from the user's own point of view. This collection covers several wearable and mountable formats, so footage can be captured on trails, bikes, helmets and packs without holding a camera by hand.

Main product types

• Action camera: the ZenithCam, a general-purpose camera for varied outdoor activities.
• Helmet camera: the SummitLens, intended for mounting on a helmet during rides.
• POV camera: the RidgeLens, designed for first-person recording.
• Backpack camera: the ShutterCrest, made to be carried on a pack.
• Hiking camera: the SummitScope, for recording trail outings.

What to compare when choosing

Start with the mounting method: helmet, chest, pack strap or handheld. Then compare size and weight, since a camera worn on a helmet or strap should be easy to carry. Other criteria include video resolution, storage type and capacity, battery type, screen layout and the accessories included in the box. Compatibility with common mounts and with smartphone apps for file transfer is also worth checking on each product page.

Typical use settings

These cameras are used for day hikes, backpacking trips, cycling, motorcycle rides, camping and other outdoor travel. Helmet and POV models suit activities where both hands are busy, while pack-mounted and hiking cameras suit longer walks where the camera stays attached to gear. Free shipping over $150 applies to qualifying orders.
