So, here’s a conundrum: You love your iPhone camera, but sometimes, you want to shoot a little more adventurously, say, as you bike down a mountain. You think GoPros are cool enough, but they’re kind of expensive, and well, everyone’s got one.

You could let the indecision cripple you and sink slowly into despair. Or, you could check out this pretty awesome, pretty cheap action camera.

The YI 88001 Action Camera takes 16 MP photos and it has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to stream directly to your phone. It shoots in 1080p at 60FPS, and it’s tiny, weighing in at just 2.5 oz.

The camera is sold alone, but there are a whole bunch of accessories available, including a waterproof case and a bunch of different mounts. Plus, the jet-black model looks really slick.

Best of all, right now it’s super on sale: You can get it here for $69.99, which is 30% off it’s normal $99.99 price tag.
