When it comes to recording your adventures, whether it’s surfing, skateboarding, bungee jumping, rock climbing, or something more mundane, GoPro was a game-changer in the way we capture those extreme moments in our lives.
Yet, it doesn’t have to be solely grownups that have the fun of videoing the awesomeness, there is a huge market of cameras that serve kids just as well.
Here is our list of GoPro-style cameras for kids.

PROGRACE Kids Camera Waterproof Camcorder
Whether your kid is a ski bunny, loves exploring the countryside on their bike, or loves the water, this camera will certainly meet their needs.
The 5MP camera can store around 4,500 photos on the 8GB memory card. If that isn’t enough space, the camera supports 32GB SD cards.
There are 3 different shooting modes to choose from: time-lapse, burst, and continuous.
1080P video recording allows your child to capture their adventures in High-Definition.
If your child feels the need to enhance their photos, they can choose from 40 frames. Those budding cinematographers have several different filters to give their video that finishing touch.
Upload the content into your computer via a USB hub and then share it with the world.

Up to 1.5 hours of recording time, your child will have fun deciding what to record. The wide-angle lens allows for more action and scenery to be captured.
Waterproof up to 90 feet (using the case) lets your child capture their underwater finesse at the swimming pool or the amazing sea life as they explore the ocean.
The plastic exterior is hardy and can handle the knocks and drops that will inevitably happen. That means your kids can be a little rough with the camera without having to worry.

This can double as a webcam, so you can video chat with grandma or grandpa, as well as catch those incredible moments that people wouldn’t believe unless they saw it.
The battery offers 2 hours of continuous photography for those kids who are snap-happy. Budding filmmakers get 1 hour of videoing.
Video quality is only 720p but that still is classed as High Definition, so playback will look good.

Like the other cameras on this list, you get a helmet mount, bike mount, and protective waterproof case.
All you need to do is charge the battery and then let your child decide where they want to go! A bike trail, skate park, swimming pool, beach…

With 1.5 hours of video recording before the battery needs plugging in, this is at the bottom end of the battery life scale.

Drop-proof. Two words parents love to hear when it comes to buying things for their kids. That’s just one of the benefits of this camera.
Whether it’s a skate through the park, a bike ride with the family, or recording one’s underwater escapades, this camera can handle all that and more. 1.5 hours of high-definition recording means that your child can record now and edit later.
