Rent Action Cameras

Ready, set, go! – the action cam is always ready to go

Should you rent or buy a video camera? Renting is particularly worthwhile for action cams, because how often do you really film in 5K at 80 mph? With Grover, you can rent exactly when you need it: spontaneously for a festival, vacation, or just to try it out. Instead of spending a lot of money on a device that will end up in a drawer, you only pay for the time you actually use it. This allows you to remain flexible and simply return the camera after the rental period or extend the rental period.

Capture adventures and cool stunts and share them with the world

Smartphones can do a lot, but not everything. When things get fast-paced, splashed, or crashed, even the best cell phone reaches its limits. This is where action cams come in. They have robust housings, are often waterproof, and deliver stable footage in the best 4K resolution even when you're on the move.

A good action camera brings sharpness to the image and, thanks to intelligent image stabilization such as Hypersmooth, brings calm to the action. The wide angles capture the entire panorama, and with a high frame rate, even a jump into cold water becomes a cinematic slow-motion moment. Some models, such as the INSTA360, even help with editing directly in the camera, so you don't have to spend hours on editing software.

GoPro, INSTA360, and more: The choice is yours

People who rent action cameras usually have a specific plan in mind: a trip, a sports project, or simply the desire to capture special moments. But not every camera is equally suited to every project. Some are perfect for POV scenes while biking or skiing, others for spectacular 360° clips or stable handheld vlogs. To save you time comparing, here are five top models from the Grover range, along with their respective strengths:

• GoPro HERO 13 Black: For those who want maximum quality. The GoPro Hero 13 Black offers 5.3K60p, 4K120p, interchangeable lenses, and a huge 177° field of view for action scenes with lots of detail and high demands on image quality and stability.
• INSTA360 X4: If you want to take 360° shots that look like they came from the cinema, this is the model for you. 8K video, automatic editing, and a powerful AI chip make this model the first choice for immersive videos without the stress of post-processing.
• GoPro HERO 12 Black Creator Edition: The perfect GoPro setup for anyone who wants more than just pictures on the go. The action cam's integrated battery grip, microphone, and 1-inch sensor deliver high-quality vlogs and stable scenes for YouTube, Instagram, or your own memories.
• DJI Osmo Pocket 3: The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is perfect for anyone who wants to film as compactly as possible without compromising on resolution. With a gimbal, 4K/120fps, and ActiveTrack, it is ideal for dynamic handheld shots without additional accessories. In addition, the DJI Osmo has a sturdy housing and can withstand a lot.
• INSTA360 Ace Pro: If image quality is your top priority, this action cam with Leica optics, 8K video, and a 151° wide angle lens delivers the right technology. It can be used flexibly and quickly adapts to your perspective thanks to its flip screen.

Not all action cameras are created equal

Not every camera is suitable for every project. At Grover, you'll find models that specialize in a wide variety of uses. Here's an overview of which type of camera makes sense for which situation:

• For sports and fast-paced action: When things get rough, you need a camera that can keep up. The GoPro HERO 13 Black delivers razor-sharp images at 5.3K60p resolution, Hypersmooth stabilization, and a wide field of view, even at high speeds. If you prefer something a little more compact, go for the HERO 10 Black with its robust housing.
• For vlogs and content projects: Longer clips, good sound, and clever extras are what you need when filming on the go. The HERO 12 Black Creator Edition has everything you need for stable, professional-looking footage. The Insta360 Ace Pro offers even more flexibility: thanks to its flip screen and Leica optics, you can always see yourself – in top resolution.
• For creative 360° shots: If you want to capture everything around you, cameras like the INSTA360 X4, X3, or the more compact One X2 are perfect. They shoot in 360°, deliver impressive resolution, and make editing easier with smart AI and auto-stitching.
• For traveling and spontaneous filming on the go: Don't want to carry a lot of gear but still want to take good shots? The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is ultra-compact, stabilized with a gimbal, and automatically tracks your subject.

Frequently asked questions about renting action cameras

Still unsure whether renting a camera is worthwhile or how the process works? Here you will find answers to the most important questions.

Who should rent an action camera?

If you know for sure that you don't need the action cam permanently, renting is almost always more sensible than buying. This applies to one-off trips, sporting challenges, social media projects, or simply to test which setup suits you best. You get the latest technology, only pay for the time you use it, and don't run the risk of the device sitting unused after two weeks.

Can I also rent accessories for the action cam from Grover?

Yes, you can also rent camera accessories, and that's often the decisive difference. An action cam without accessories works, but it doesn't get the most out of it. At Grover, you'll find models that come with extra batteries, mounts, or microphones as part of the Creator Edition or Adventure Kit. Separate equipment, such as gimbals or lenses, is also available. So you can put together your equipment exactly as you need it.
