  • Good video quality. Tiny. Inexpensive. Simple to use. Rugged.
  • Relatively narrow field of view for an action cam. Low-res still images. Limited video resolution choices
  • The tiny Polaroid Cube is an excellent choice as a bargain-priced action cam, offering no frills, but surprisingly good video....

  • Compact size, Affordable price, Easy to use
  • Low video quality, Short battery life (90 minutes on a full charge), Easily lost, removable controls cover
  • The cutesy, adorable nature of the Polaroid Cube is something that can't be overlooked, and because of that it's an action cam that seems destined to be used more by casual users than outdoor adventurers. Hardcore action enthusiasts will more than likel...

  • Chris Burns What do you do with a cube that fits in the palm of your hand, sticks to metal with a magnet, and takes photos and video? You capture the world around you, of course. You capture it casually, and you capture it with the playfulness and...

  • Great concept, Cute design, Loads of mounts
  • Tough to use outdoors, No internal memory or bundled SD card, No compelling case to replace your smartphone camera
