Why this is a top pick and a backpacking essential
If you’re travelling light but want your memories to hit hard, the DJI Action Creator Kit is a dream come true. This tiny powerhouse punches well above its weight with crisp 4K video, magnetic modular accessories, and a front-facing screen that’s perfect for vlogging on the go.
Whether you’re filming rooftop sunsets in Oaxaca or diving cenotes in Tulum, this cam sticks with you; literally. I use this every day on the road, and it’s like having a pocket-sized production crew. You’ll be amazed at how pro your footage looks, even if you’re still wearing yesterday’s hiking socks.
Why this instead of a go pro? Its the night time imagery that sold it to me! Its just much better in low level light and for me, exploring architecture, which can really come alive at night, it was a no brainer.
