Whether you’re longing for evidence of landing that massive huck, threading the needle between two aspen on a vertiginous singletrack, or running a Class V on West Virginia’s Gauley River—or if you just like to relive your own harrowing moments from a point-of-view perspective, getting footage of your outdoor exploits has never been easier. The Epic Video Camera is refreshingly simple. As in two buttons. That’s it. Hit the button and you’re filming up to a 47-degree-wide area at 30 frames per second, complete with a built-in mic. Want still photos instead? The Epic can comply, shooting in various resolutions or in a nine-second “burst" mode. When you’re done, it’s plug-and-play simple. Attach to your computer via USB, dump them into your favorite editing software, or upload the whole file directly to YouTube. Weighing in at only 2.5 ounces and measuring under three inches, the camera accommodates all types of mounts (straps for helmets, clips for the brim of a baseball cap, a shock-resist saddle for bumpy rides, tree screws, bar mounts, etc.) and comes with an optional waterproof shell. From ATVs to surfing, cycling to sea kayaking, fishing to snowboarding, it’s never been easier to be your own star—and at a price point that non-celebs can afford.$149.99; epicstealthcam.com
