An action camera for everyone does not exist. That’s why you should look closer and at least approximately define what you expect from an action camera.

Resolution and digital image stabilizer

modern Actioncamsare characterized by a large wide angle, which is primarily intended to ensure that vibration during recording less noticeable. Many newer models, however, come with digital image stabilizers. However, you should not expect miracles from these, because the strong vibrations that occur during mountain biking, for example, can not be completely compensated by even the most powerful image stabilizers. Nevertheless, image stabilizers are a useful additional function, even if you limit the wide-angle range in many action cameras. The DBPower DBPower action cameras have a 120 degree angle of view without the image stabilizer, while the top models deliver close to 140 degrees.

All modern action cameras from DBPower store files in MPEG-4 format and then compress the videos using H.264 codec. This video format is processed today by any editing program and any computer, even if the resolution and the refresh rate should be different. All of DBPower’s state-of-the-art actioncams are capable of recording full HD video at 1,920 × 1,080 pixels. Many newer models even offer you the possibility to record videos in 4K resolution. It is considerably more complicated at the refresh rate. Cheaper models from DBPower offer a frame rate of 30 frames per second, following the US NTSC standard. But especially in fast sports, the refresh rate plays an important role. To be able to record even fast and jerky scenes fluently, you should choose a model with a refresh rate of 60 frames.

Usability and optional accessories

Most new models now come with a built-in LED monitoror at least offer this as optional equipment. This makes dealing with the small cameras much easier. DBPower goes one step further in terms of operation and user-friendliness and offers with some action cameras the possibility to control all functions and features of the device via WLAN connection via app. These additional apps are offered by DBPower for current mobile operating systems like Android and iOS for free. However, setting up the Wi-Fi connection is a bit more complicated and it always takes some time to get the connection between the action camera and the camera Smartphoneis constructed. The differences in the preview via App are significant. While with some devices, a delay of some pictures is completely normal, the delay on some actioncams of DBPower is equal to a few seconds, making even the adjustment of the viewing angle extremely difficult. Significantly easier and more convenient action cameras with a remote Controlwhich is usually only included with high-end devices.

For action cameras from DBPower a nearly unmanageable abundance of brackets for a variety of sporting activities is available. The customization options for the various areas of application are extremely diverse. If you buy an action camera from DBPower, you will get many models specifically adapted to certain sports mounts. For example, DBPower action cams are available, which are primarily geared for use on mountain bikes.

Because just small Klipphalterungen can quickly break under load.
