SJCAM C400 Pro — A Bigger Sensor, Smarter Stabilization
SJCAM built the original C400 as a modular “3-in-1” action camera that could be worn, pocketed, or turned into a full vlogging rig with its snap-on handheld controller. The C400 Pro takes that same flexible system and upgrades the parts that matter most for image quality: a larger 1/1.8″ Starlight low-light sensor, SteadyMotion V2.0 stabilization, and support for a compatible wireless microphone — making it the camera to pick for anyone who shoots indoors, at dusk, or in mixed lighting as often as they shoot outdoors.
3-in-1 Modular Design
- Pocket Action Camera — a small, lightweight camera unit for POV, wearable, and mounted shooting.
- Detachable POV/Wearable Camera — clip it to a helmet, chest mount, or backpack strap for hands-free capture.
- Handheld Controller / Vlogging Grip — dock the camera onto the wireless handheld controller for a rotate-to-capture touchscreen grip, with up to 8m of wireless image transmission for remote framing.
Bigger Sensor for Low-Light Shooting
The 1/1.8″ Starlight sensor is significantly larger than the sensor in the standard C400, gathering more light per pixel for cleaner, less noisy footage after sunset, indoors, and in other challenging lighting — a key upgrade for vloggers and content creators who don’t want to stop shooting when the light fades.
SteadyMotion V2.0 Stabilization
Enhanced electronic image stabilization keeps handheld, walking, and action footage smooth, reducing the need for a gimbal in everyday vlogging and action use.
Wireless Mic Support
The C400 Pro supports SJCAM’s compatible wireless microphone system for cleaner, closer-sounding audio when vlogging or interviewing — a feature the base C400 does not offer.
