The GoPro might have started the action camera revolution, but it’s hardly the only game in town these days. High-quality action cameras are capable of capturing footage that would otherwise be impossible, and there are so many choices out there right now that people don’t know where to start. Well, here’s a suggestion: start with the Polaroid Cube HD 1080p Lifestyle Action Video Camera, a top-rated camera that can record in 1080p full HD that’s on sale for just $64.99 right now thanks to a killer Prime Day countdown deal.

Polaroid’s cute little action cam might look like a toy but trust us when we tell you that it’s all business. The great compact design lets you record from vantage points that you could never manage with a larger camera.
