Waterproof 30m Action Camera with Mounts

So you decided to jump off the high board at the local pool, and you genuinely believed your graceful belly flop deserved to be immortalized in full color. Or maybe you strapped on a helmet to conquer a menacing two-inch driveway curb on your bicycle. Whatever your flavor of mild stunt-work, the RED5 Waterproof 30m Action Camera is ready to tag along and record the glory, the wobble, and the splash down.

This handy little box shoots crisp 5MP photos and smooth 720p video. Sure, it is not going to film a multi-million-dollar movie, but it captures every funny facial expression right before impact with fantastic clarity. The 70-degree wide-angle lens catches all the action without making your backyard look like a warped funhouse mirror. Plus, the bright built-in 2-inch color screen lets you immediately review your questionable athletic choices right there on the spot.

The physical casing is light, tough, and ridiculously easy to attach to stuff. It comes packed with various clip mounts so you can attach it securely to bike handlebars, skateboard decks, or your helmet for completely hands-free filming. Best of all, the rugged enclosure handles depths down to 30 meters underwater. That means while you are frantically paddling away from a suspicious-looking piece of floating seaweed, the camera remains totally unfazed, keeping the water outside where it belongs.

Operating this gadget does not require a degree in rocket science or a ten-page technical manual. Simple controls mean you press record and go, minimizing that awkward moment where you stand around in swim trunks trying to figure out if the blinking light means recording or self-destruct. When the battery runs low after an afternoon of chaotic filming, USB-C fast charging juices it back up in a flash so downtime is kept to an absolute minimum.

If you have a kid who loves doing wheelies down the street, a friend who spends way too much time in the ocean, or someone who just wants to document their dog’s daily backyard patrol from a hilarious low angle, this action cam makes an absolute slam-dunk gift. It delivers big fun without the heart-stopping fear of dropping a super expensive smartphone into a murky lake.
