The best action cams

Kiteboarding, surfing or snowboarding ? if you escape the grey everyday life in winter, you have a free choice. But you can't wait for envy-filled and inquisitive faces on your return today; the holiday nation of Germany is far too often on the road itself for that. The case is completely different if you exchange the usual slide show of 08/15 photos for an action film of the finest quality. And with the right tools, that's not so difficult today. Customised editing programmes, such as Magic's FastCut, are child's play to use, and with the right accessories you can attach the action cam almost anywhere and film from the coolest perspectives. But which cam is the right one for me? We have tested top cameras for you. Of course, you can also look for inexpensive models. The picture quality won't meet high standards, but it will work. Here's a little tip: The company AEE makes inexpensive action cams that are often added to the portfolio by companies like Rollei or Braun under a different name. If you search for AEE, Actioncam at large mail-order companies, you will get decent quality and can save a few euros. But now let's take a look at the test field.
