Action cameras with a price of up to 10,000 rubles are suitable for novice bloggers, as a DVR in a car, for children, as well as for ordinary people for non-professional shooting. For example, to record a video while relaxing in a resort. In this price range, there are no offers from famous brands, and most of the devices are made by Chinese companies. As a rule, a good action camera from the price range up to 10,000 rubles is characterized by:
- a matrix with a resolution of 12 megapixels;
- the ability to shoot in Full HD (but we found decent models with 4K, but in many cases this is not a full resolution, but interpolated from 1920x1080);
- lack of stabilization.To get rid of the shaking effect on the video, you need to process it in the editor, making a crop, or install an action camera on a steadicam and shoot from it;
- Wi-Fi module and the ability to manage remotely. The presence of Wi-Fi allows not only to transfer files without using a cable, but also to control the camera via a smartphone. Some models cheaper than 10,000 rubles are equipped with a remote control;
- battery life is about 40 minutes. This is an average value when shooting in Full HD quality;
- rich set. Saving on optics and a matrix, the manufacturer lures buyers with an extended package. If you choose an action camera from our list, most likely you will not have to spend extra money on a waterproof case and mounts.
If you are satisfied with such indicators, then in our top there is an optimal action camera for you.

Young buyers are attracted by the bright design and the opportunity to really shoot. But the technical characteristics are not so rosy - the video quality is limited by a weak camera matrix and low resolution.But there is a screen here, you can make time-lapses.

Inexpensive action camera. Its cost does not exceed 10,000 rubles, but at the same time it has an electronic stabilizer and Wi-Fi, and the matrix resolution is much higher than usual.

The microphone is surprisingly good - the sound is fixed quite clearly and clearly. In addition, the manufacturer pleased buyers with a wide range of equipment, so you won’t have to buy anything separately. But the main claim of the owners of this device is the quality of shooting.

In a small case, there was a place for a matrix with a resolution much higher than that of competitors, as well as a Wi-Fi module.The maximum video resolution is limited to 2.5K. The device can take photos in RAW format, which expands the possibilities of post-processing. But it’s not so easy to get them - there are detailed operating instructions on the w3bsit3-dns.com forum. There is also a gyro stabilizer here, and reviews confirm that it really works.

The only 360-degree action camera in our ranking, and this is the best offer in the price budget under 10,000 rubles. Despite the low price, this baby has a Wi-Fi module and moisture protection without any boxes. Panoramic videos and photos are amateurish. All due to the fact that there is poor optics, and the content comes out of poor quality. The lenses are not protected, the lenses protrude from the body, and when using this action camera, you need to constantly think about how not to damage the optics.If you need a budget gadget for creating virtual tours or just taking 360-degree photos while on vacation, this model will fit.

A popular action camera with the ability to record video in 4K. But this is not an honest resolution, but an interpolated one. Full HD can be written at even 60 frames per second, and these are excellent values \u200b\u200bfor a budget model. The kit includes many mounts and an aquabox for use underwater. The device allows you to create good quality video content.But the device itself gets very hot when shooting, especially in a waterproof case. So strong that after 40 minutes of operation, the battery cannot be held in hand. The software menu is translated into Russian with numerous errors, but it is not so difficult to navigate it. The maximum length of the video is 10 minutes, it will no longer be possible to make it, unless you later glue the files together in a video editor.

- Rich equipment (adapters, mounts and aquabox)
