3SIXT 4K ULTRA HD

$199.95, 3sixtgear.com

Boasting 4K footage at a cinematic 24fps, and an embarrassment of mounts to suit your car, pushbike, motorbike, and helmets in the box, it offers bang-for-buck performance at a third of the cost of the best camera here. Yes, there are sacrifices. The app is woeful so forget about using your phone as a remote. It also means you’re left to find your own video-editing software, and no in-house program exists on the 3SIXT website. You’re limited to a 32GB or smaller microSD card, But the footage is crisp and free of distortion, even if the image stabilisation needs a tune-up.
