Catch all the motion in one shot

Capture an entire action sequence in a single frame with Motion Shot. This feature creates a composite image of a subject in motion, with variable settings for different burst speeds, which are 10fps, 5fps and 2fps.

High Quality stereo sound with wind noise reduction

Make a great movie even better with great audio. Built-in stereo microphone allows you to capture sounds of your adventure in two-track stereo, naturally. Wind noise reduction reduces the impact of wind interference on overall audio quality. Clear sound with reduced noise enhances the most sophisticated movie work you can produce. There’s also a convenient mic jack for times where an external microphone is needed.

Enhanced convenience

Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS allow for instant connection, control and tracking of your epic adventures. A new intuitive interface, 3x rec. lights and adjustable beep volume ensure easy operation and a built-in tripod socket means you can quickly attach your Action Cam to a tripod for rock-steady shots. The USB, HDMI and microphone jack connections are now located on the back of the camera for enhanced ease of connection and accessory attachment.

Built-in GPS - display your Action Cam route

Built-in GPS tags your videos so that location tracking and speedometer can be added to the video file when Action Cam Movie Creator is used. This also allows GPS Data Overlay on Video to read your speed data and generate another video file that includes your route, speed information, etc.

Action Cam Movie Creator for easy creative editing

Make your movies look even better with Action Cam Movie Creator. Produce and edit videos quickly and easily thanks to a range of features such as 4K time-lapse movie and slo-mo video. You can also rotate your videos clockwise or anti-clockwise by 90˚ with Movie Rotation, or use Multi-View to combine up to four movie footage segments—captured simultaneously by different cameras—and make a split-screen composite.
