I gave up my pocket video camera a while ago in favor of the one in my smartphone. Why carry two when one will do? And do nicely. But when you want to capture a run down the rapids or a dive on a coral reef, you’re leaving your phone safely tucked away. Instead, you can reach for the DV1.

Shockproof and able to withstand a drop from 5 feet, waterproof to 16 feet, and sealed tight against dust and dirt, the DV1 from GE is a pocket‐sized, handheld 1080p HD digital camera designed to survive any adventure while recording video and taking still photos. With the ability to both at the same time.

You can upload your pics and video with the built-in, sealed, flip out USB plug, and get up close and personal to the action — even from a safe distance — with the 4X zoom lens.

Available in five bright colors to make it easy to spot should you drop it, just rinse the DV1 ($129.99) after a wipeout or roll in the mud, and it’s back to new.

Think of it as a stunt double for your smartphone’s camera.
