GOPRO

With 40% of the votes, GoPro is the winner of our new Best Action Camera Brand award. The company’s latest Hero action camera models are the Hero 5 Black and Hero 5 Session, both introduced in September 2016. Both action cams are waterproof up to 10m, capable of 4K video recording at 30 frames per second, and support USB-C connectivity. As the action cam market gets more crowded (and smartphones become more capable), GoPro has recently entered the drone market with its Karma Drone. In second place is ViDi, maker of the aptly-named ViDi LCD Action Camera, with 34% of the votes.
