This HD camera from V.I.O. has a super wide angle lens and is built for the outdoor adventure life. The V.I.O. POV.HD camera ($600) is the most advanced ruggedized HD camera we have seen, with impressive specs, several mounts, in-field editing capability, and a design built to survive a beating. The camera has a 142-degree viewing angle in full 1080p HD and shooting speeds of 60 fps at the (slightly less wide-angle) 720p setting. The POV.HD has several recording modes, including still frames, and the in-field editing includes the ability to tag scenes while recording and compile scenes into highlight reels on the spot. It also offers real-time lens distortion correction, vignetting correction, lens softness correction, exposure metering, and exposure compensation. The camera, which comes with a wireless remote, is shock-, dust-, and water-proof. You can buy several different mounts to attach this thing just about anywhere and record your adventurous exploits. Try not to get hurt on camera, though, because that would be embarrassing.

More BLUETTI Black Friday deals for home power backup and more — Save over $200

Continuing coverage of BLUETTI Black Friday deals, including one of its latest portable power stations the Elite 200 V2, we have a few more callouts worth taking a look at. Where before the main focus was home battery backup or a solid portable power option for off-grid, these deals are smaller in scope. The BLUETTI AC180 solar portable power station, for instance, features a 1,152-watt-hour capacity, which is not nearly as massive as what you get with the Elite 200 V2, but that's the point. It's manageable, has 11 outlets to power multiple devices simultaneously, and has a built-in MPPT charge controller and 500-watt solar input for fast charging via solar. It's best for use on the go or on the road, just like the BLUETTI Charger 1.

Enough about the gear, let's talk about those deal prices. As an aside, right now you can use code DT01 for an extra 5% discount on top of all sale prices. That code is exclusive to Digital Trends readers and applicable to all products on BLUETTI's website.
