Choosing the best cameras for scuba diving changed how I document my underwater trips forever. I still remember my first dive in Cozumel with nothing but a disposable film camera in a cheap plastic sleeve. Every photo came back with a heavy blue-green cast and blurry fish. After dozens of dives across three oceans and … Read more

I have spent the last six years photographing reefs across the Caribbean, Indonesia, and the South Pacific, and I have personally tested more than 25 action cameras in salt water. After hundreds of dives and snorkel sessions, I can tell you the difference between a flat blue clip and a vibrant reef story almost always … Read more

I have spent more than 200 hours filming surfers over the last three years, and I have lost two GoPros to wipeouts, fried a mirrorless body with saltwater spray, and watched drones dive into the impact zone. So when I say the best cameras for surfing videos need to balance three things, waterproofing, stabilization, and … Read more

I still remember the first time I strapped a GoPro to my chest for a mountain bike ride. The footage came back shaky, my arm was sore, and I spent half the trail fighting the mount instead of enjoying the descent. That was the day I started hunting for the best chest mounts for action … Read more

I have tested more helmet mounts than I care to admit. After a few seasons of motorcycle track days, mountain biking, and clumsy attempts at skiing, I learned one thing: the right mount makes the difference between cinematic POV footage and a shaky mess you delete at home.

I have been testing action cameras on the slopes for over a decade, and I can tell you the best cameras for skiing and snowboarding in are not always the most expensive ones. Last season, our team strapped eight different models to helmets, chest mounts, and selfie sticks across 23 ski days in Colorado, Utah, … Read more

I have spent the last four months testing action cameras on my skateboard – dropping down stair sets, grinding rails, and bombing hills to see which models survive real skating. After mounting them to my board, helmet, and chest rig, I can tell you the best cameras for skateboarding videos in are not all created … Read more

I have spent the last two years riding with cameras strapped to my helmet, chest, and handlebars. The best cameras for motovlogging all share three traits: rock-solid stabilization, wind-resistant audio, and mounting flexibility that survives highway speeds. Motovlogging is recording video while riding a motorcycle, typically with an action camera mounted on a helmet or … Read more

I’ve spent the last six years riding sport bikes, ADV rigs, and a beat-up scrambler through rain, dust, and mountain switchbacks. Along the way I’ve strapped action cameras to every helmet I own. I burned through three cheap mounts, lost one camera to a wet tail, and learned that “4K” on the box doesn’t mean … Read more

Drone racing demands split-second reactions, and the camera on your quad is the single component standing between you and a clean gate pass at 90 mph. When I built my first racing drone five years ago, I picked a camera based on price alone and spent months wondering why I kept clipping gates in bright … Read more
