After using it across a wide range of activities including trail running, mountain biking, snowboarding, camping, backpacking, and full time vanlife travel, it has proven to be one of the most reliable and easy to use cameras in our setup.

There is a big difference between the best camera on paper and the best camera when you are actually outside using it. Wind, snow, gloves, cold fingers, flat light, and terrain moving fast under your feet have a way of exposing gear that looks great in reviews but becomes frustrating in real life.

Whether we are snowboarding down remote ridgelines, setting up the van in a national forest, or chasing sunsets across state lines, one thing stays consistent. We are always filming.

Whether I’m skinning up a quiet ridge before sunrise, piecing together a new line, or just scouting out trailheads from the van, onX Backcountry is always part of my toolkit. It’s one of the most useful apps I rely on in the backcountry, especially when I’m planning splitboard missions or exploring new zones with sketchy cell service.
