action cam

Mountable video device

A small, rugged video camera designed to be mounted on helmets, vehicles, or bodies during physical activities.

Action cams capture first-person footage of skiing, skydiving, cycling, and other adventures: She strapped the action cam to her chest before the jump.

GoPro popularized the format, making the brand nearly synonymous with the device.
