Can this $40 action cam compete with a GoPro?

One of the best tech deals we've ever seen.

Perhaps a better way to phrase the question is "can this $40 HD action cam capture footage that's good enough to air on broadcast television?" The answer is yes.

The footage from this HD camera - upon which I am focusing my frugality today - was so good I shot my entire consumer report on it and aired it across the country on television. Click the play button to see what aired.

If you have $450 burning a hole in your pocket, go buy a GoPro. You can use that to capture 4K video over-equipped for Halloween, holiday and family memories.

If you simply want to score a deal on a top-performing waterproof alternate complete with accessories, I have found the best deal in the country today.

Comparing the footage side by side, the $40 Activeon camera we tested held its own against significantly more expensive cameras.

Features include:

- Captures beautiful full 1080 HD video at 30fps
- WiFi built into device
- Powerful rechargeable battery
- Waterproof up to 196 feet
- Accessories included
- Extremely durable
- Great for sporting events
- Ideal for family memories, road trips and travel
- Extremely compact
- LCD screen allows you to see the photos and video you capture
- 160-degree viewing perspective
- Single best HD camera deal of the entire holiday season
