SJCAM C300.
A pocket-sized 4K action camera with dual touchscreens and 6-axis gyro stabilization that punches well above its sub-$160 price. The 154-degree wide-angle lens and 30m waterproof case make it a legitimate adventure companion from a brand with over a decade in the action camera space.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The C300 proves that SJCAM's decade-plus of action camera experience translates into genuine value. The dual screens, deep waterproof rating, and wide-angle lens hit the features that actually matter for adventure footage, and the 6-axis stabilization is surprisingly effective. For anyone who wants a capable action camera without the premium price — or a rugged second camera they won't cry over if it gets damaged — the C300 is the smart pick.”
