PocketCam is one impressive little action camera

It turns out that you don’t need a big camera to take great videos. PocketCam measures less than two inches across, and this tiny action camera takes smooth HD footage.

• Aren’t action cameras really expensive? No, not at all. You can get some great little cameras for under $100.
• What are the most important features for an action camera? Look for HD resolution, at least 60 frames per second, a wide-angle lens, and waterproofing.
• What is the best action camera under $100? PocketCam might be small, but this tiny camera takes smooth 1080p footage at 60 fps.

Action cameras are designed to be worn, or at least held with one hand. The small form factor of such devices allows adrenaline junkies to capture their adventures, without compromising them. At least, that’s the theory.

However, many action cameras are still larger than you might think. While these devices can be mounted on a harness or helmet, they do somewhat cramp your style.

There are no such complaints to make about PocketCam. This little action camera weighs just 0.77 ounces, yet it can capture smooth 1080p HD footage at 60 frames per second.

What is the smallest action camera worth buying?

The answer to a question like this always includes a little subjectivity. That said, the hard facts and figures are pointing in the direction of PocketCam.

In terms of size, this camera definitely fits the bill. It measures 1.77 inches wide, and even less from front to back. You can comfortably hold it between your thumb and your index finger, as if examining a large coin.

As the name suggests, PocketCam is truly tiny

PocketCam could also be described as one of the best cameras in the featherweight division. The protruding lens takes in an impressive 120° field of view, while a 12MP Sony sensor records the action. The full HD footage is crisp, and you can control the camera with one hand.

More features are available to access through the companion smartphone app on iOS and Android. For instance, you can set up timelapses, capture epic slo-mo footage, and enhance your still photography with HDR.

Small yet mighty

PocketCam can be mounted

While these technical tricks are certainly eye-catching, PocketCam also does the basics right.

You can mount the camera in four different ways, and PocketCam has a waterproof rating of IP68. In human, that means you can dive 10 meters below the surface for an hour with this camera.

You can even take PocketCam swimming

PocketCam can take up to 32GB of storage space for footage via the built-in microSD card slot. Meanwhile, the internal battery offers 60 minutes of recording after 15 minutes of charging.

“Don’t carry around a chunky camera when you’re on your adventures. You won’t even realize PocketCam is on you with its 4.5 cm by 4.5 cm tiny casing and 22-gram feather-like weight. Capture life’s memories with this small, but powerful, action camera.” — PocketCam on IndieGoGo

Limited storage?

The limit of 32GB might be a little restrictive for regular vloggers. Some form of expansion would be welcome.
