All of the action cams tested are good companions for adventures in the great outdoors and for demanding shots of sporting activities. The GoPro Hero12 Black and Insta360 Ace Pro are particularly impressive in terms of image quality and features. If, on the other hand, you want a lot of accessories, the Rollei Action One is the right choice...
All in all, the new GoPro HER012 Black ascends the action cam throne. In terms of image quality, it is still the measure of all things. The new model also has a practical Bluetooth function and better battery life. However, with similarly good video quality, even better battery life and a better mouting system, the Osmo Action 4 is a good alternative...

... All settings can be easily controlled and the videos and photos viewed via the app. The cam itself is waterproof up to a depth of five metres, and in the corresponding housing it can dive up to 30 metres. The replaceable 1300 mAh battery runs out of steam relatively quickly. Various cases and mounts are included in the scope of delivery. Rollei's RRP for the Action one is 249 euros.
The Rollei Action One is interesting for hobby filmmakers who want beautiful pictures without long detours through menus. Rollei relies on few but useful functions and shooting modes, rounded off by a simple app. The 6-axis gyroscope calms the image without shaky edges and artefacts, but can't smooth out every wild action. All in all, a solid camera for under 250 euros.
