Waterproof cameras are built to be sturdy and handle rugged outdoor activities. This makes them perfect for everything from capturing beautiful 4K footage while swimming in the ocean, to participating in extreme sports. They also have an option to take still photos, if you prefer. Here is a list of our favorite waterproof cameras.

Campark ACT74 Action Camera

Includes mounts and straps for any activity

Attach your camera to almost anything with the included accessory package. You can record in 4K with a wide-angle lens that can capture up to 170 degrees of your surroundings.

Capture your outdoor fun

Don’t miss capturing moments outdoors, or underwater, with your family and friends. Instead, grab a waterproof camera to take on your journey. For most people, we think the AKASO EK7000 Sports Action Camera is the best option. It gives you two solid options: you can record at 4K at 25fps, but you can also snap 30 pictures a second with the 20MP camera.
