21. A GoPro camera with a built-in mounting system

GoPro Hero 8, available at Best Buy, $399.99

The Hero8 Black is the action camera grown up. It's small, but it shoots video and photos comparable to larger cameras, and it's more rugged and fun to use than a smartphone. Among its many improvements include image stabilization, audio capture, menu navigation, and shooting modes, but the biggest change is the built-in mounting system. The 4K video is some of the best I've ever shot with a camera.

Equally great is the new Hero Max 360-degree camera, which can capture footage all around you. —Les Shu, guides editor
