The Good: The ATC3k action camera has a wider camera lens, means more action on camera, the ATC3k can be used as a webcam for skype, plus the 4Gb capacity is great as it means that you can get up to 2hrs recording
The Bad: It looks just like the ATC2K – just black…
The Action Cameras Bottom Line: For just a little more in price, you get a lot more with the ATC3k so it’s a must for anyone wanting to film their extreme sports at a reasonable price.

At first glance the ATC3k could easily be confused with its predecessor the ATC2K, this is because it does look the same it’s just been disguised in black but this black beauty shouldn’t be underrated! It’s only £10 more than the ATC2K but the extra value that you get from the innovatively updated features adds up to much more!

If you know ATC2K than you already know the basics of the ATC3K; 3 meter waterproofing, shockproof, and all the rest of the standard specs that we’ve come to expect from extreme sports cameras. But obviously the ATC3K has some great new features that set it above the ATC2K:
? The ATC3K has a wider field of view of 48 degrees (the ATC2K has 42 degrees)
? The ATC3K can be used as a webcam when attached to a PC and as a viewfinder when connected to your TV. It even comes with a web-cam stand.
? And probably best of all, it can take up to a 4Gb SD memory card which means that you can now get recordings of up to 2 hrs!

There are also some cool accessories being released for the ATC3K (that will also work for the ATC2K) in the form of a handle mount that will let you get a firm grip if you just want to use it as a hand held cam, and in the case of those of us that enjoy our winter sports we can now get the cold weather sleeve for the cams that will stop the cold from eating our batteries! This sleeve will also be useful for those of us that tend to drop everything that is even a little bit expensive ?

We all know that the ATC3K action camera is only being launched in a few weeks, but since Action Cameras is a UK distributor we’ve managed to get our hands on a few to play around with and get some film of our own extreme sporting escapades before we let you get your hands on it. We must say that from our tests and demos this new and innovative sports camera is a great piece of kit and we are looking forward to sharing the excitement with everyone else as soon as we launch it!
