However, it’s not always possible to have someone there filming every minute of the action for you. Ensuring you won’t miss a trick (on video anyway) the 4P Extreme Sports Camera, designed by Patrick Nally, allows you to film yourself. With the GPS beacon strapped to your arm, the 4P camera receives your location and keeps its ‘eye’ on you the entire time. Being able to record your every awesome move when you are alone makes this camera a ‘must have’ for anyone who’s trying to secure sponsorship in an extreme sport. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Extreme Sports Self-filming:** The trend is for extreme sports enthusiasts to be able to film themselves to secure sponsorship opportunities - **GPS Beacon Technology:** The trend is for the use of GPS beacon technology to track and capture footage of extreme sports action - **Compact Sports Cameras:** The trend is for small and portable cameras with high-quality video capabilities that can withstand extreme sports environments ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Manufacturers of consumer electronics can design and produce compact and high-quality cameras that are suitable for extreme sports enthusiasts - **Sports Apparel:** Sports apparel companies can design and produce GPS beacon armstraps and other wearables that are compatible with extreme sports camerass - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising agencies can develop campaigns to promote and market extreme sports cameras, highlighting their uses in sponsorships and capturing action-packed footage ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Camera-Equipped Exercise Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-urban-eyes-vest.md) - [Cordless Triple-Axis Gimbal Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feiyu-pocket-3.md) - [Automotive Branded Action Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insta360-x4-bmw-motorrad-limited-edition.md) - [Magnetic Accessory Action Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-osmo-action-4.md) - [Athlete-Tracking Smartphone Mounts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-tracking-phone-mount.md) - [Point-and-Shoot-Inspired Action Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-cybershot.md) - [Dual-Lens Action Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siren-x1.md) - [Attachable Eyewear Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-video-camera.md) - [Pocket-Friendly UHD Action Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5k-action-camera.md)
