Choosing a compact action camera often comes down to how you will actually use it: 360-degree capture, a ready-to-go accessory kit, a new camera with storage included, or the smallest possible outlay for 4K video. The four cameras here span that range.
Quick take
At the highest listed price, the Akaso 360 is the only camera here built for 360-degree capture, with a listed price of USD 199.99. At the lowest listed price, the IceFox UHD 4K Action Camera is listed at USD 19.00 and arrives in open-box condition. In between, the AKASO Brave 4 4K Action Camera is a used kit at USD 37.99 that bundles a waterproof case, two batteries, and a wrist remote, while the 5K Extra HD Action Camera 64GB kit is a new model at USD 73.99 with WiFi, dual screens, and electronic image stabilization. Your first decision is less about resolution and more about condition, format, and accessories.

Product notes
Akaso 360 5.7K AI Action Camera
This is the only model in the group centered on 360-degree video. It captures 5.7K 360 footage, produces 72MP 360 photos, and includes the invisible selfie stick effect, 360-degree horizon lock, and AI tracking. If you plan to create immersive clips or interactive travel videos, those features make it a distinct option. The tradeoff is straightforward: it is the highest-priced camera in this comparison, so it fits someone who actually intends to use 360 capture rather than a casual first camera. It is in new condition and carries a one-year manufacturer warranty.
AKASO Brave 4 4K Action Camera + Waterproof Case 2 Batteries Remote
This used kit is for someone who wants everything in one bundle. The Brave 4 records 4K video and 20MP stills through a 170-degree wide-angle lens, and the bundle adds a waterproof case, two batteries, and a wireless wrist remote. Its electronic image stabilization is a useful match for moving shots. It is used and tested working, so the condition is different from the new models above. A standard microSD card is not included. If you are comfortable with a used camera and want the extras included, this kit is the one to choose.
5K Extra HD Action Camera 64GB Waterproof Sports Camera Dual Screen EIS WiFi Kit
It records 5K Extra HD video and includes a 64GB card, dual screens, WiFi, USB, electronic image stabilization, loop recording, and time lapse. The waterproof housing carries a 30-meter rating, which is shallower than the 40-meter rating for the IceFox. For someone who wants a new camera with storage already covered and a feature set aimed at sports and travel, this kit simplifies the accessory decisions. The one-year manufacturer warranty is a useful extra.
IceFox UHD 4K Action Camera Waterproof 40m, Duel Screen, WiFi, Image Stabilizer
This is the lowest-priced camera in the comparison. It is an open-box camera with a 2.0-inch LCD, dual screens, WiFi, electronic image stabilization, 5x zoom, and a 40-meter waterproof rating. The bundle includes two batteries and works with the Snappro app for video and photo editing. Because it is open box rather than new, the condition is the main thing to weigh before choosing it. If you are looking for the smallest listed outlay and want 4K capture plus underwater capability, this is the obvious starting point.
Final recommendation by use case
- Choose the Akaso 360 if 360-degree video, 72MP stills, and AI tracking are the reason you need a compact action camera.
- Choose the AKASO Brave 4 if you want a used kit with a waterproof case, two batteries, and a wrist remote bundled in.
- Choose the 5K Extra HD kit if you want a new 5K camera that already includes 64GB of storage and dual screens.
- Choose the IceFox if you want the lowest price in the group and are comfortable with open-box condition for 4K capture underwater.
