The Victure Sports Action Camera 14MP is a well-priced alternative to GoPros. It doesn’t come with the same level of specs, quality, or functionality as the market leader. But what you do get is a versatile sports action camera that does the basics at a sensible price.

Victure Sports Action Camera 14MP: Camera Quality
The quality of small digital cameras has come a long way recently. This is due to the competitiveness of the Android smartphone market. Why am I telling you this? Because it explains how Victure can offer such good camera quality in its Sports Action Camera for £39.
What’s the quality actually like? Very good. The Victure Sports Action Camera lets you record crystal-clear 1080p video at 30fps (providing the lighting is good). Those who want to record at 60fps can drop the image quality down to 720p. The drop in fps isn’t ideal if you’re looking to record quick action shots and then slow them down. But for the majority of uses, 30fps is good – and the price goes a long way to make up for this. For context: the industry standard for movies is 24fps.
Victure Sports Action Camera 14MP: Battery life
Most mid-range action cameras struggle when it comes to battery life. Typically, they last between 60-90 minutes. The Victure Sports Action Camera lasts for 90 minutes when recording at 1080p and 120 minutes at 720p. Which is fine, but not remarkable. It combats this by putting two batteries in the box.
Victure Sports Action Camera 14MP: Accessories
There are so many accessories with this product. It’s a bit ridiculous. But good. If you’re looking to fit your Sports Camera to a bicycle stand; surface J-Hook; selfie stick, fixed mount clip; helmet mount (see below for a full list). Victure has got you covered.
Shooting underwater is a particular strong point thanks to its water resistance up to 30m and the useful 170-degree wide-angle lens. This lens is also useful when you put the camera is Car Mode – note that you can plug the MicroUSB cable into your car’s 9v charger and not have to worry about the battery running out.
