High-quality entry-level Action Cam

Foreword
I report here on my hot loved Hero 3 Sports & Action Cam.
With an Action Cam can show his parachute jump, the underwater world while diving or cycling and motorbike tours his friends. An Action Cam is attached to the helmet, belt or vehicle and filming its exciting and spectacular activities. For this, however, you need a camera that is especially small, light and robust and has a long battery life. The picture and sound quality should agree of course, because you want the audience to show as many details of his daredevil wing-suit jump. Since most activities take place outdoors, the camera should also be waterproof and dustproof.
Meanwhile, there are countless such Action Cams on the market. Not only the price, and the quality and technical equipment, the differences could not be greater.
