This action cam is available in two versions, but we’ve gone for the higher specification 4K model which still comes in at under £45.

It also has a 60fps 1080p mode for smooth action playback.

Another camera that takes a takes a little inspiration from a well-known rival, this model from Odrvm can be controlled via an iOS or Android smartphone, includes two 1050mAh batteries and comes with a discount code if you want to order additional cell packs. The maximum resolution is 1080p but the 170-degree lens will capture all the action, and the accessory pack includes straps, mounts, adhesive strips and ties to give you plenty of options.

This model from Apeman costs a little more than the budget options but comes with an improved spec as a result.

It also includes image stabilisation software, an infra-red filter and a 20-piece accessory kit.
