8 Best POV camera gifts
The holidays can be awkward enough without being subjected to crappy POV footage of your family’s outdoor adventures. Help stop the creation of bad video by giving the budding Scorsese in your life one of these great gifts.
Sony Action Cam Mini
While the newest Sony Action Cam is Mini, it doesn’t skimp on features. This pint sized marvel has integrated image stabilization, a live-view remote to simplify adjustments, and it can shoot 1080p at 60 frames per second. You can see just how well it held up against the bigger POV cameras on the market in our annual POV Camera Shootout. Price is $250 | More info at www.sony.com
DJI Inspire 1 Drone
The Inspire 1 Drone from DJI successfully bridges the gap between consumer toys and the big budget rigs found on Hollywood sets. Despite offering operators a range of advanced video tools, it is still incredibly easy to assemble and fly. If you watch mountain bike videos with any regularity, there’s a good chance you’ve already seen some of the beautiful 4k footage it can capture. Price: $3,100, or opt for the equally impressive consumer oriented DJI Phantom 3 for $800 | More info at store.dji.com
AmazonBasics Portable Power Bank
Video cameras and their associated peripherals tend to be power hungry little gremlins. Despite having multi-battery packs, we often find ourselves running low on extended trips, which is why we’ve started to carry rechargeable battery packs. There are a number of excellent options, but this little unit from Amazon charges devices quickly. It has enough juice to recharge an iPhone three times. Price: $20 | More info at www.amazon.com
Feiyu Tech G4 Gimbal
One of the major problems with POV footage is that it can be nauseatingly shaky, which is where an electronic gimbal such as the Feiyu Tech comes in handy. Developed specifically for GoPro cameras, it makes it easy to shoot floaty steady-cam footage that will blow your friends and family away. Price: $350 | More info at www.feiyu-tech.com
