The new Action Cam Mini: Smaller and lighter
Our Action Cam Mini won't weigh you down. The slender, splashproof design is about two-thirds the size of our previous Action Cams - so there's less wind and water pressure when you're filming.
Relax, it's splashproof
The HDR-AZ1 easily shrugs off water, thanks to a splashproof design. With an IPX4-class rating, this Action Cam can stand up to showers, spray, and snow as soon as you remove it from the box.
