FDR-X3000 4K Action Cam with Balanced Optical SteadyShot

Ultimate image stabilizationThe FDR-X3000 combines brilliant 4K resolution with Balanced Optical SteadyShot image stabilization for advanced camera-shake compensation. Unlike digital image stabilization, Balanced Optical SteadyShot is significantly more effective at cutting the effects of camera shake internally, the camera’s lens and sensor are joined and moved together controlling the entire optical path as one floating unit. This advanced stabilization system makes it easier to shoot beautifully clear, stable images while traveling, bike riding, and in other active situations. |
Professional 4K quality with ZEISS lens and Exmor R CMOSFeaturing a new ZEISS Tessar lens with significantly less lens distortion than previous models, the FDR-X3000 is also equipped with a back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and an acclaimed BIONZ X processor, ensuring that video quality remains consistently strong across all settings. With full pixel readout without pixel binning the FDR-X3000 produces exceptionally high resolution and accurate colors in both 4K and Full HD videos. The built-in stereo mic with wind noise reduction reduces the impact of wind interference. |
Remote camera control and viewingUsers can stream a live preview and control the Action Cam with the optional Live-View Remote (sold in a kit version: FDR-X3000R) or utilize Sony’s PlayMemories Mobile application on a smart device4 - available for both Android and iOS. Both have the ability to control several camera capabilities including shooting settings, start/stop recording, power on/off and more. |
Tough body endures harsh conditionsThe FDR-X3000 body alone is splashproof and freezeproof. With the supplied Waterproof Housing it’s dustproof, shockproof and waterproof to 197ft / 60m. So whether you’re hiking on a rainy day, skiing or snowboarding, making dirt biking movies, surfing the waves or exploring undersea, Action Cam provides real-world rugged design. With a universal tripod screw mount on the body of the Action Cam itself, and one on the Waterproof Housing, you can easily attach the camera directly to a tripod. |

Underwater Housing as standard gearTake the FDR-X3000 Action Cam diving to 197ft / 60m using the supplied Underwater Housing (MPK-UWH1 ) - no need to buy optional gear. Equipped with a flat port in front of the lens and convenient camera buttons on the side - lets you easily control all functions through the housing. What's more, it shields this hardy compact camera from shocks, damp, rust, dust and sand. Enjoy carefree aquatic adventures and extend your exploration to tough terrain. |
Selectable viewing angle and 3x zoom5Capture epic ultra-wide -angle views with the ZEISS Tessar lens or choose your own viewing angle from Wide, Medium or Narrow. Changing the angle of view also helps correct for the barrel distortion - common in POV cameras. In addition, seamlessly adjust up to 3x smooth zoom mode, which enables you to change zooming while shooting. Either way, you'll always be capturing beautiful shots of the most challenging ski slopes, mountain trails, swirling rapids or pitted asphalt paths. |
High quality 12MP up to 10 fpsCatch fast-moving action with burst shooting. This allows you to take a maximum of ten high-quality shots of a trick or transition, making it the perfect feature for those who love to go back and analyze their style or select the critical moment. Burst mode settings: 10 fps/1 sec., 5 fps/2 sec., 2fps /5 sec. |
8.3MP Interval record and 4K time-lapse videoSet the camera to capture stunning 8.3MP stills over regular intervals for an extended period of time. 8.3MP is optimized for 4K (3840x2160) and can be used to create beautiful 4K Time-lapse videos. Time-lapse Capture lets you produce time-lapse movies easily by using high-quality 4K still images shot at designated intervals. Then Action Cam Movie Creator (v. 5.1 for Windows, v.3.1 for Mac) simply transforms these images into an impressive time-lapse movie. The Action Cam App (v. 2.0)12) can create Full HD time-lapse movies from these stills as well. |

Catch all the motion in one shotCapture an entire action sequence in a single frame with Motion Shot. This feature creates a composite image of a subject in motion, with variable settings for different burst speeds, which are 10fps, 5fps and 2fps. |
High Quality stereo sound with wind noise reductionMake a great movie even better with great audio. Built-in stereo microphone allows you to capture sounds of your adventure in two-track stereo, naturally. Wind noise reduction reduces the impact of wind interference on overall audio quality. Clear sound with reduced noise enhances the most sophisticated movie work you can produce. There’s also a convenient mic jack for times where an external microphone is needed. |
Enhanced convenienceBuilt-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS allow for instant connection, control and tracking pf your epic adventures. A new intuitive interface, 3x rec. lights and adjustable beep volume ensure easy operation and a built-in tripod socket means you can quickly attach your Action Cam to a tripod for rock-steady shots. The USB, HDMI and microphone jack connections are now located on the back of the camera for enhanced ease of connection and accessory attachment. |
Built-in GPS - display your Action Cam routeBuilt-in GPS tags your videos so that location tracking and speedometer can be added to the video file when Action Cam Movie Creator9 is used. This also allows GPS Data Overlay on Video to read your speed data and generate another video file that includes your route, speed information, etc. |

The Sony FDR-X3000 is the best action cam I've met so far. No voice commands, no GPS, but the best imagery with the most stable framing I've seen. The Zeiss lens is superb. The BOSS stabilization system uses both electronic image stabilization (everyone does that) and optical image stabilization (very rare). Together, the images remain astoundingly well framed, even when shooting from a bouncing motorcycle.
The form factor favors getting the camera into narrow situations (the side of a helmet, tucked in to a vehicle's framework). Unfortunately, Sony opted for their proprietary mounting system, but a simple tripod adapter allows using all of the near standard mounting hardware.
The camera has HDMI out, mic jack for external mic, and operate while charging connections on the back. Leaving the cover open may compromise moisture-proofing. I shoot all of my motorcycle video with an external battery pack.
The closed camera is at least rain safe. Read the manual to be sure. The included dive case is good beyond sport scuba depths - 197 feet / 60m.
There is a menu window on the side of the case. It has the expected options and controls. The layout definitely needs having the manual nearby until you're clear about navigation.
The camera has WiFi which can be linked to Sony's app. All of the important settings can be controlled there, too. The best part is the real-time imagery. It makes setting up the camera - is it level or twisted or tilted too much - much easier than working with a built-in display. Playback is also clearer. Sony offers the FDR-X3000r, which is the same camera package plus a wrist remote. It seems like a good idea but the remote is so big that only a diver with a passion for big wrist computers will love it. Additionally, the battery for the controller prevents shooting "shoot all day, edit later". An external battery pack will keep the camera going but the remote checks out around two hours into the day. A smartphone does the same things and keeps the camera cost down.
The camera accepts up to 128 Gb microSD's. I use no-name C10 chips, shooting 1080@60 fps, without a problem. 4K challenges the chips. I've only shot some "it works - moving on" 4K and don't plan to use it.
The internal mic works, but, as with any other action cam internal mic, wind noise will be a problem. Wind reduction mode helps somewhat, but assume any serious need for not hearing wind requires an external mic.
The three additional purchases that I consider important are:
1) Tripod adapter to convert from the Sony mount to the usual mounting hardware
2) Lens protector to keep the camera's Zeiss lens safe. See my Amazon review for details
3) Battery charger package. See my Amazon review for details
Would I buy the camera again? Without question. What about trying other brands? Why bother. The Sony FDR-X3000 fully meets my specifications.
DISCLAIMER: I don't have any connection with Sony. I don't have any connection with Amazon. I don't have any connection with distributors or even delivery services. Nobody has paid me, or offered me any perks or other payment. I've got no skin in this game except I own this camera.
Image quality of this camera is very good and it has many different video modes. The overall color gamma is a bit colder compared to GoPro cameras, but in my opinion it looks better that way. You can adjust the color temperature using menu and preset color modes such as vivid colors which adds some saturation and contrast or the flat mode which gives quite dull colors. It can shoot 4K up to 30fps and 1080p up to 120fps which is very good, there is also option to shoot 720p with 240fps, but image quality in my opinion is not very good in that mode due to huge noise.
For shooting XAVC S video format in 4K this camera requires micro SDXC card with UHS 3 quality standard. I've heard that a lot of people have trouble with memory cards which are not made by Sony, but I bought SanDisk Xtreme Pro 64GB memory card which works just fine. I've heard that some PNY memory cards work as well but there are problems with Samsung and some other memory cards.
Microphone of this camera is very good, it captures voice from 2 meters distance without any trouble. It has wind noise reduction, but in my case it did not make such huge difference.
Image stabilization of this camera is remarkable, it really smooths out most of the shaking and therefore gives much more clear image. you can choose if you want to use only software image stabilization like the previous models had or the optical stabilization.
This camera has also GPS support. At first the GPS showed me that it had no signal but eventually it begun to work, I think it took quite a lot of time (30 min) to adjust because I used this camera in Estonia but bought it from the US, so it had to adjust it's receiver before recieving signal again from other satellites. Because this camera has no GLONASS support the location data is not very accurate in northern Europe. GPS records location data with quite big latency (up to 5sec), which makes it difficult to record smaller speed and direction changes.
There is also a very small down side of this camera which is the screen has no back light, therefore in low light conditions you have to use smart phone or the remote to change settings. Also the battery does not last very long, I managed to shoot 1h 5min in a row using 1080p 60fps XAVC S format before battery was empty. So I recommend to buy spare battery as well. Also there was no mounts or any kind of fixing gear included which was a bit of disappointment for 400$ camera.
Overall this camera has very good build quality and it shoots very clear hi-res image. Optical image stabilization of this camera makes it better than most of it's competitors like GoPro hero 5 black. It is also very easy to connect to smartphone using NFC and bluetooth.
