The powerful Action Cam Action One offers four different video modes, including the Ultra 4K resolution video mode with an extra wide recording angle and 4K resolution at up to 60 frames per second, time-lapse, slow motion, and video + photo. With the six-axis gyroscope activated, videos can also be stabilized, which is essential for fast-paced action shots. Images can be captured in photo, photo time-lapse, or burst mode with up to 12 megapixels. Thanks to the 1.3-inch selfie display, video and photo recordings can be perfectly aligned in selfie mode, while the camera can be operated via the high-resolution 2.33-inch touchscreen display.
In the settings of the Action Cam Action One, you will find numerous additional options for creative highlights, such as manual long exposure for individual photos of up to 60 seconds or a loop setting for videos, where the oldest recording is automatically overwritten when the storage limit is reached.
Of course, the action cam is also waterproof. Without the included protective case, it can go up to five meters deep, and with the underwater housing, it can reach up to 30 meters. To make underwater shots even more impressive, an underwater white balance can be set.
To enable longer recordings in the included housing frame, the Action One's connection flap is removable. This makes it suitable for longer video or time-lapse recordings while being connected to a suitable power source via USB-C cable.

Source: GalaxusAll of the action cams tested are good companions for adventures in the great outdoors and for demanding shots of sporting activities. The GoPro Hero12 Black and Insta360 Ace Pro are particularly impressive in terms of image quality and features. If, on the other hand, you want a lot of accessories, the Rollei Action One is the right choice...
All in all, the new GoPro HER012 Black ascends the action cam throne. In terms of image quality, it is still the measure of all things. The new model also has a practical Bluetooth function and better battery life. However, with similarly good video quality, even better battery life and a better mouting system, the Osmo Action 4 is a good alternative...

... All settings can be easily controlled and the videos and photos viewed via the app. The cam itself is waterproof up to a depth of five metres, and in the corresponding housing it can dive up to 30 metres. The replaceable 1300 mAh battery runs out of steam relatively quickly. Various cases and mounts are included in the scope of delivery. Rollei's RRP for the Action one is 249 euros.
The Rollei Action One is interesting for hobby filmmakers who want beautiful pictures without long detours through menus. Rollei relies on few but useful functions and shooting modes, rounded off by a simple app. The 6-axis gyroscope calms the image without shaky edges and artefacts, but can't smooth out every wild action. All in all, a solid camera for under 250 euros.
