There’s a ton of action cameras on the market nowadays, but they’re mostly just shrunken-down versions of normal cameras. Not so for this one from OCLU, which has been designed to be sleek and rugged, so it stays out of the way of your experience while being as tough as you are.

It’s 300 bucks of pure adrenaline.

The OCLU Action Camera has an on-camera editor to trim your fails

The coolest thing for this new action camera for me is the LiveCut feature. That provides on-camera editing functionality to let you trim your fails from the roll. Well, unless you want to keep your fails for blooper reels – your choice.

It’s also a capable action cam without this, able to go toe-to-toe with the existing crop. That means high specs like:

4K 30 fps recording, or up to 120 fps at 1080p from a 1/2-inch, 12 MP sensor
Image stabilization
Interchangeable battery
Universal 1/4-inch tripod mounting
Motion-triggered recording for use as a wildlife camera
Two independently isolated microphones with wind reduction
GPS when connected to your phone
WiFi and Bluetooth
Multiple one-touch modes to choose from
Only 101g with battery installed
IPX7 water resistance, or waterproof to 50m with the OcShell case

Everything sounds great, and the OCLU Action Camera already has a trophy case of big European design awards. Will the innovative shape and on-camera editing help it break into a market dominated by a couple of major players and a host of copycats? Maybe, as OCLU has built out a huge ecosystem of accessories for almost any use case you can think of.
