Ok, so the GoPro Hero 7 might've been released in 2018 but it's still a pretty good camera. If you don't have the funds to fork out for the latest GoPro, it's worth considering an older model. The GoPro HERO (2014) can capture 5mp still images and has a 5fps burst option. It is able to record 1080P at 30 or 25fps and 720P at 60 or 50fps on to a MicroSD card up to 32GB. It has an LCD non touch display on the front and is waterproof down to 40m.

Notably, it can shoot 5.7k video, which is a greater resolution than GoPro’s own 360 camera, the Fusion. 360 videos are crisp though still not as much as a traditional non-360 video (resolutions haven’t reached the point of rendering full 360 videos optimally yet). You can, of course, record regular 4k videos at 30 fps and 120fps at 720p with the VIRB 360, thus making it an effective action camera as well.

The wide angle lens makes aiming the GoPro a snap, as long as you're reasonably close to your subject. At 24mm (FF equivalent), the Sony RX0’s FOV is much narrower than the usual action camera. Those who hate the fisheye effect that is present in action cameras will feel much better about the RXO’s tighter, more photographer-friendly framing.

And what about those new to the helmet cam market – is this the one to choose? The Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 comes equipped with a voice control feature that, though not perfect, performs very well. WiFi connectivity is included and can be used to sync up with your phone and even stream live videos on Youtube.
