Front screen

The presence in the camera of a screen mounted on the front panel, next to the lens. Other displays may not be present at all; in such cases, the diagonal, resolution and other parameters are given for the front screen.

It is worth noting that most often the simplest black-and-white displays are installed on the front panel, suitable only for text and basic graphic information. However, even on such a screen, you can display a wide variety of service data: the current mode of operation (photo, video, standby), the resolution used, the shooting time, the amount of free space on the drive, etc. But more advanced displays are not used as front displays: a full-colour screen is needed only for taking a selfie, and for this you can use a remote display with a remote control(see "Control") or a smartphone connected to the camera.

Max. memory card capacity

The largest memory card capacity supported by the camera model.

This limitation is due to two points. First, the larger the drive, the more computing power is required to use it. Secondly, each type of memory card has its maximum capacity. For example, the capacity of an SD HC card cannot exceed 32 GB, larger drives already belong to the SD XC standard, and if it is not supported, the maximum card capacity cannot exceed 32 GB.

It is strongly not recommended to exceed the maximum allowable capacity: even if the card is recognized by the device, its normal operation is not guaranteed.

Control

Action camera control. Specified only if this model is equipped with an optional external control device. So in this case we are talking more about the type of remote control.

The remote control itself is convenient, first of all, because reaching directly to the camera can be inconvenient, and sometimes even dangerous. But the types of devices used for this can be as follows:

Portable remote control. Traditional external control panels that do not have displays. Theoretically, the functionality of such a remote control can be different, but only the most basic functions are usually available — start/stop recording and taking photos; the rest of the possibilities can be controlled traditionally. Such remotes often have a strap for attaching to a hand or a mount for installing such a strap. The absence of a screen, on the one hand, makes them as simple, reliable and autonomous as possible, on the other hand, it limits the functionality.

Remote screen with remote control. Remote controls complete with their displays. Like simpler devices, without a display, they are usually designed to be mounted on the hand. Therefore, the built-in screens have a very small diagonal — otherwise, it would be simply inconvenient to wear them. Nevertheless, even such a screen turns out to be quite functional and useful. It usually plays the role of an external viewfinder, allowing you to se...e what exactly the camera is recording at the moment — an important feature, given that the action camera's screen (if any) is most often not visible to the user at the time of shooting. Of course, various service information can also be displayed on the remote display.

It is worth noting that many modern action cameras can use a smartphone connected via Wi-Fi as an external display. However, a specialized remote screen is often more convenient due to its compactness, security and convenient attachment to the arm.

Battery model

The model name of the proprietary battery used in the camera. Knowing this name, you can easily find a spare or replacement battery for the device.

In box

Protective case. A special container that provides additional protection from dust, moisture, impacts, extreme temperatures and other similar "troubles". The specific level of protection in each case should be specified separately. In order not to interfere with filming, the box is made of transparent materials. In addition, we note that some cameras can only be mounted on mounts in a box (or in a mounting frame - see below), since the body itself may not have space for this.

Mounting frame. A device designed to install a camera on various mounts — helmet, steering wheel, etc. The camera body itself often does not have "landing sites" for such mounts, which is why additional equipment has to be used. Note that a protective box (see above) often performs a similar function; the mounting frame, in contrast, provides almost no protection, but the camera body remains maximally open in the frame. This provides additional opportunities — in particular, it allows you to connect various cables and effectively use the built-in microphone, which is impossible when using many boxes.

Helmet mount. A mount designed to mount a camera to a helmet or other curved surface. The design of such a mount is based on a curved platform with an adhesive layer or Velcro, the shape of which roughly matches the shape of the helmet surface. Such a device can provide a more s...ecure hold than a classic flat platform (see below).

Flat mount. One of the main and simplest mounts used to fix an action camera to almost any uniform surface: snowboard, skateboard, car hood, etc. It is a small flat platform, to one side of which the camera is attached, while the second is fixed to the desired surface (using Velcro, special glue, etc.). Note that flat mounts are often used for installation on a helmet, but for this purpose there is a separate type of mount, with a curved platform (see above).

3-axis mount. This differs from other types of mounts by the presence of three movable units that allow you to rotate the camera at an angle of up to 90 degrees in three axes. In practice, this allows you to choose the most interesting or successful shooting angle - on the side of the helmet, for example. Such solutions are usually compatible with many other mounts, so they can be used together with a steering wheel, curved, etc.

On the handlebars of a bicycle/motorcycle (pipe). A mount for installing a camera on a small pipe — for example, the handlebars of a bicycle or motorcycle. As a rule, it works on the principle of a clamp, and the size of the mount can be adjusted within a fairly wide range, adjusting it for pipes of different diameters.

Suction cup(on glass). A camera mount that is fixed in the desired location using a suction cup. Allows you to install the device on flat and slightly curved surfaces. It is worth considering that such mounts do not hold as securely as flat or curved ones (see the relevant points). On the other hand, the suction cup is easy to attach and remove and leaves no marks. Therefore, mounts of this type are mainly used for installation on car glass when the camera operates as a video recorder.

Clamp (clip). The clip-type mount is quite universal, since it allows you to hang the camera on almost any suitable piece of equipment (backpack strap, unloading belt, belt, etc.). However, it is not very suitable for extreme shooting due to its relatively low reliability.

Head mount. A device for fixing the camera to the head — usually on the forehead, like a headlamp. In addition to freeing up your hands, this placement has another advantage: the camera lens looks in the same direction as the customer. The mount itself is usually a system of elastic straps and is designed to be worn directly on the head, as opposed to a curved helmet platform. However, some models allow the possibility of wearing it over a helmet.

Chest mount. This mount is a system of elastic straps that allows you to fix the camera on the customer's chest, shooting slightly lower than "from the eyes". Like the head mount (see above), it is easily adapted to the desired size.

Monopod(selfie). A device commonly known as a “selfie stick”. It is a rod, usually foldable and sometimes adjustable in length; at one end of the rod there is a mount for the camera, at the other - a handle for holding in the hand. In accordance with the name, such a monopod is intended mainly for filming yourself - thanks to the length of the rod, the camera can be held at a comfortable distance. However, other ways of using it are possible: for example, with the help of a monopod you can “look” quite far over the edge of a cliff or around a corner. The main disadvantage of such a device is that one hand is constantly occupied.

In addition to those described above, the delivery set may also include other types of fastenings - for example, for musical instruments (on the neck of a guitar, on the bar of a drum kit, etc.), on a surfboard, etc.
