iON Air Pro 3 Wi-Fi

The Wi-Fi-enabled iON Air Pro 3 action camera captures excellent 1080p video and is very easy to use, although it's a little expensive compared with the competition.

Impressive video quality. Waterproof. Slick flashlight-like design; just point and record.

Poor apps lack functionality. Non-removable battery. In-built image stabilizer produces jelly-like effect and can't be turned off.

Accessories and Conclusions The Air Pro 3 comes with a decent set of accessories, including a ball joint, a pouch, a secure strap, a tripod, a USB cable, a universal power adapter, an adapter for different mounts called CamLock, a double-face adhesive...

iOn Air Pro 3 review

What sets the iOn Air Pro 3 apart from much of its competition is its design.

The iOn Air Pro 3 is a simple-to-operate 1080p action cam that's waterproof without needing a housing; has very good video quality; and a nice feature set and accessory options for easily adding Wi-Fi or wireless remote control. Its 60fps and 120fps...

Taking advantage of its high-frame-rate video capture and Wi-Fi will shorten battery life, which wouldn't be so bad if the battery wasn't built in. Using the higher frame rates also limits a couple of the camera's other features.

A fun, flexible action cam, the iOn Air Pro 3 keeps things simple without sacrificing video or build quality, making it an excellent option for those who just want to go out and shoot -- in or out of the water.

iON Air Pro 3 Wi-Fi review

Sleek no nonsense action cam that just lets you get on with the action

Simple no fuss operation ; Sleek design ; Wi-Fi

120fps only available at 720p ; Need app to update settings ; Care needed to attach PODZ

If you just want to get on with the action rather than fiddling with settings, this is the camera for you.

An Action Camera : iON Air Pro 3

A trip to the London-based version of the Gadget Show introduced me to a product designed for those far more energetic than myself.

The iON Air Pro 3 is a high-definition video camera designed to appeal to those who have an energetic lifestyle but could still appeal to those of us who prefer a more relaxed environment. This third-generation POV (point-of-view) camera combines...

"great concept with terrible user friendliness"

This cam would be amazing if it did all the things that sold me on it. I paid extra so I could live stream and use my smartphone as a way to monitor the quality/angle of the pics and vids. When trying to set up the cam to my phone there are a a lot of...

I like the design of the case and the simple design concept.

image stability is not as great as they say and the overall reliable is terrible.

" ion camera POS"

I contacted ion's customer support and they said, "Sorry." Sorry? You're sorry? I have a $250 POS and all ion can say is "sorry". ion customer service said a 64G micro SD card can make it NOT behave properly. Who ever heard of such a thing? Canon?...

can't think of any

Doesn't work, vibrates when turning on and won't stop/ inoperable

Great Camera For the Price

Love construction quality and video quality of this unit. The profile format was also important for me and the fact that it is waterproof with an additional waterproof case. The only complaint I have is with the smart phone software. I found connecting...
