TOP 5 POV CAMERAs for 2022:
GoPro Hero 10 $449
GoPro Hero 9 $399
GoPro Hero 7 $299
Tactacam Fish-i $149
DJI Osmo Action (original) $249
We selected from over 100 action cameras based on what our customers used in 2021 to select the Top 5 Action Cameras for 2022. GoPro still owns a large share of the market, but there are a lot of competitors. Many action camera companies start-up each year and many fail each year. The top brands with staying power seem to be GoPro, Tactacam, Inst360, DJI, Akaso, Yi and a few more.
GoPro Hero 10 $449
The GoPro Hero 10 has a new chip, G2, that is super fast and makes everything faster. A great camera overall and the only reason it was not selected as the top pic, is some firmware upgrades need to happen; as with all brand new cameras.
GoPro Hero 9 $399
GoPro dialed in the firmware and this was our overall top pick. Great stability, great audio, awesome video
Tactacam Fish-i $149
Want a super easy to use camera that doesn't have all the bells and whistles? Tactacam may be what you are looking for. One main button with one more mode button and you are set. Connect Fish-i to your phone for more control. Easy to set it and forget it. No fancy screen with tons of settings that might get confused. Good video with good audio makes this like a dashcam that will run all day long. Will not overhead like GoPro can until you update the firmware.
GoPro Hero 7 Black $299 (Not the Hero 7 White or Hero 7 Silver)
One of the most bullet proof cameras with a built-in PowerDoor; the Hero 7 makes it easy to catch video of your adventures. The Black version of this camera has a removeable battery and includes the Looping feature, so you only save the "good" video. The White and Silver versions of this camera have a sealed battery and no Looping option, so we don't recommend them.
DJI Osmo Action (original) $249
The first action camera with a front facing screen, this camera is pretty bullet proof. Very little customers report overheating like GoPro cameras can have until you update firmware. If ease of use and focus on fishing or other adventures, then Tactacam might be what you are looking for.
