    Great camera for underwater video and pictures. We used the camera in multiple climates during our 3 week vacation and captured many memorable moments! This is a great addition to our cameras and electronics.

    Awesome action cam. Have had a lot of fun with it so far. The headrest I bought is good for watching my shots in 9ball.

    They've dropped this down to $249 and at that price it's a good little camera. The image stability leaves a lot to be desired and the 240 FPS is only available in 720p which is a bummer.
