Choosing from the 6 BIOS action camera options available today can be tough. Do you want a $10 camera that will record basic video without the bells and/or whistles? Or would you prefer a “high-end” $30 option with 1080p and a 4GB SD card?
We can help you decide with this fun 1-question quiz. You ready?
Question 1
What is your favorite Patrick Swayze film?
Results
If you chose…
Red Dawn
You should get the 601FC ($10). You know that, when the commies come, it’s not going to matter how old you are or how fancy your action camera is. Nobody thought The Wolverines could fight off the Red Threat single-handedly, and nobody thinks a $10 action cam has what it takes, but you’ll show them.
Youngblood
You should get the 600FC 960p flashlight cam ($20). You’ve never been one to follow the herd. You live life your own way, regardless of overwhelming popular opinion to the contrary. “Youngblood is the best Patrick Swayze film,” you say. “And an action cam that’s also a flashlight for some reason is the best BIOS option for sale on Meh today.” That’s right, you don’t let others tell you what’s “objectively good or bad” like those other sheeple. Seriously, though, has anybody even seen Youngblood or can remember anything about it?
Road House
You should get the 605FC ($20). You watched a lot of movies on TBS when you were a kid, so you’ve developed a particular taste for films that are good but not that good. And that’s why you prefer solid-but-middling options like Roadhouse and the 605FC. You don’t need Academy-Award-winning films to entertain you, and you don’t need to record your action exploits in 1080p. You’re happy with 720p and Roadhouse, thank you very much. And if you fall off your mountain bike while recording? No worries – “Pain don’t hurt.”
Ghost
You should get the S606FC bundle ($24). Memories are important to you: memories of spouses lost to murder on the streets of Manhattan, and memory cards like the 4GB SD card that comes with the 720p 605FC camera in this bundle. You love us for knowing this about you? Ditto.
Dirty Dancing
You should get the 606FC bundle ($25). You’re the type who wants it all and isn’t afraid to ask for it. You want a Patrick Swayze movie full of romance, intrigue, and biting social commentary. And you want a 720p camera bundle with a memory card, carrying case and 2 batteries. Nobody puts you in a corner that lacks action-camming essentials.
Point Break
You should get the 626FC ($30). People applaud you for your taste in the finer things, and rightfully so. When it comes to action cams you want the best — full 1080p HD video and a 4GB memory card are well worth the extra few bucks. And you don’t bother with lesser films when you can enjoy the finest cinematic achievement in human history — Point Break. After all, “If you want the ultimate, you’ve got to be willing to pay the ultimate price.”
That’s it! Wasn’t that more fun than wading through the specs and features and deciding which camera you should actually get?
