Activeon DX Dashboard Mount Picture of Mount Hood
Activeon cameras offer an affordable option to capture memorable moments of your life while allowing you to enjoy the moment you’re in rather than holding up your phone or camera in hopes of capturing something special. I loved out trips to Disney World but at the end of every trip I remember seeing at least one or two pictures I didn’t even remember taking. So instead of enjoying the trip I found myself regretting the moments I had missed. Not to mention the video I captured was usually choppy and likely staged as I tried to recreate a moment I missed with the camera.
Activeon Gives You Several Shooting Options

All of the cameras in the Activeon line have a wide range of shooting options, the DX, which is what we’re using, has incredible 152˚ wide angle lens. This means when taking still photos you’ll get just about everything you’re seeing with your eyes in the shot, it’s amazing! You’ll also have the option to shoot full 1080P video at 60 frames per second.
You can shoot any of these modes using the point and click method we’re all used to and the photos and videos will be beautiful. You can also mount the camera. We’ve used ours with a head strap and mounted it to a dashboard. From there you can turn the video on and allow it to film as you experience what’s in front of you. This could include any sport you can imagine; they even have a surfboard mount!
Something I’m excited for is the next trip to Disney World! With the Activeon app on my smartphone I can attach the camera to the stroller or even the kids and control it from my phone. It even shows me the picture! I can’t wait to be able to live some of the Disney magic through their “eyes!”
Activeon Will Convert The Biggest Skeptic
When the hubby wanted to look into reviewing an Activeon camera I thought that it would be something we might use once and then not want to hassle with. But what I figured out is that once I added this I no longer needed my high definition camcorder. And while we aren’t incredibly active people, THOSE KIDS RUN US RAGGED!
We’ve taken this camera on two trips already, Oregon and the Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. And because of this camera we’ve gotten some incredible videos and pictures that we wouldn’t have had the ability to capture if not for this incredible camera!
The Activeon cameras will really surprise you, their size and convenience are incredible. When you compare the price with their competitors similar model and look at the features the competitor lacks, it will really blow your mind. With Father’s Day right around the corner, any dad would be thrilled to get such an incredible gift, and you’ll be thrilled to be able to look up from the camera at the next event!

This looks like a really neat camera. But for $150-250, I am not sure that it is really worth the cost. My iPhone takes great pictures.
