One of the most popular action cameras today is the GoPro.

These GoPro cameras are usually bought by athletes, sports photographers and individuals who are into sports. This is the why GoPro is a popular action camera.

1. Burst shoot mode

You can set the camera to burst shoot mode so you can capture many images in one click.

2. Time lapse shooting

This will allow you to set the time when to capture, stop and capture again images.

3. Waterproof

Your GoPro camera can be placed in a waterproof housing and this will allow you to take underwater images. This is a useful feature for swimmers who wants to record themselves while underwater.

Adhesive mounts are also best for bikers to attach their GoPro on their helmet or for sports photographers trying to catch on a different angle from afar. They can use a remote trigger to control the camera when it's time to capture.

5. Built-in LCD

Some GoPro models like Hero 4 Silver have a built-in LCD which allows you to view the scene first and frame it before taking a shot.  Even in natural wedding photography, a built-in LCD in a camera can be very useful to the photographer

There are also housings you can buy for added protection so you don't have to worry when you place the camera on a higher ground or uneven surface. Even these staffordshire wedding photographers are impressed with how robust the GoPro cameras are.

Recording videos can be done in the normal mode, time lapse, and even underwater. You can control the GoPro camera remotely after you have set it to your desired mode.
