Are you looking to get a waterproof action camera? Read this article to find which waterproof camera is the best for videoing your sports underwater.
When you're going diving, snorkeling or just having fun at the pool, there are times you wish you had a camera to film the fun below the surface. That's where waterproof action cameras are great.
The only downside is that it's sometimes hard to know which camera is going to work the best underwater.
There are many cameras that claim to be waterproof on the box but when you actually take it out and use it in the water, you will quickly find that they aren't exactly waterproof and you have just wasted your hard-earned money on a camera that couldn't hold out water.
In order to buy an action camera that you can trust to take down and survive the depths of the ocean and come back with video clear and high quality, you need to know a few things about which camera is the best to buy.
The most important thing to look for is to see how deep and for how long the waterproof camera is designed to go. Or course the deeper and longer the time the better. A lot of professional action cameras are designed to go down up to 60 meters or 180 feet.
These professional waterproof action cameras that can go down deep are equipped with a special waterproof casing which is separate to the actual camera. The case is usually made of hard plastic with rubber seals which covers the camera tightly so no water can get in even at depths where pressure is high.
If your camera doesn't come with a waterproof case or there is not one is available for it, then I recommend you don't take it under water. It may be ok to splash or dunk in water without case but it won't be a good idea to keep underwater for a prolonged period of time. To make sure your camera will be ok underwater is to always use the water tight case.
Another thing to look for when buying a waterproof action camera is the size of the camera and also to think about where you want to mount it. Do you want to use it on the side of your goggles? Are you going to hold it on your hand? For most people, the smaller the camera, the better so keep size in mind when you shop for one. As for mounting your camera, various cameras come with various mounts so pick the best one for your desired use.
In the end, it comes down to your preference in size, mounting options, and design, but always make sure your camera really can withstand being underwater by having the option to use a separate waterproof case. Even if it costs a little extra for a good camera with a case, it will be worth it for the peace of mind.
