A video powerhouse in a mirrorless body, offering 5.8K/30P, 4K/120P slow motion, Apple ProRes RAW, and direct SSD recording. The go-to choice for serious videographers who need professional-grade features.
The most versatile action camcorder thanks to its unique interchangeable lens system — ultra-wide, macro, and anamorphic mods open up shooting possibilities no other action cam can match. A perennial community favorite.
The flip-up full rear screen and Leica co-engineered lens make this the top pick for anyone filming themselves. Exceptional low-light performance and 8K capability in a compact, mountable body.
Still available and now discounted, the Action 5 Pro delivers 4K/120fps, SuperNight mode, and roughly 2 hours of battery life at a price that undercuts the newer Action 6 significantly. The best value action camcorder on the market.
