The Minox ACX 300 is a cheaper, better GoPro

Time was, buying a good action camera meant shelling out on a GoPro or going home. Not any more, though. Take the ACX 300 from Minox: waterproof to 30m, it’ll shoot in 3K at 24fps or 1080p at 60fps, as well as offering a 120fps mode for fans of slo-mo shooting. What’s more, it’s packed with all sorts of tech – from optical image stabilisation to Wi-Fi smartphone pairing – and a battery that’s good for three to four hours. Oh, and there’s a wrist remote thrown in, too – all for £30 less than a Hero Session. Talk about tough competition.
