Just like cell phones, each year new technologies come along that improve these cameras. Here are five new action cameras for capturing some riding memories and sharing them with your friends.

GoPro Hero 5 Black

The latest, the Hero 5 Black, takes video quality up a notch with 4K clarity, voice control, and the most important feature for off-road junkies – image stabilization. These cameras are waterproof and have a simple one-button control, making turning the camera on and recording while riding much easier. With a ton of accessories and different mounts, there is a way to capture high-quality video of every part of your ride. Click here for more information.

GoPro Hero Session

GoPro took what users were asking for and delivered with the Hero Session cameras. These compact, lightweight cameras simplify the action camera down to a simple, one-button function that both turns the camera on and starts recording. The housing of the session is waterproof and shock resistant, eliminating the need for an external housing. By taking the camera down to the simplest of features, the cost goes down too, with Session cameras available for under $200. You still get 1080P video resolution and 8MP still images. Not to shabby!
