Now: application purpose # 2 fails due to the good visibility of the lens in the glasses. "Hidden Camera" function is therefore not given - but this of course does not lead to a devaluation of the Cam, as this application is also not at all propagated by the manufacturer. I wanted to mention it anyway because of one or another buyer certainly plays with the idea to use the Rollei for just such purposes. Which is both a blessing and a curse here effectively prevent any abuse of the camera, a truly hidden films without the consent of the protagonists is thus hardly to not at all possible.
If the intended use # 1, and thus the actually intended operating range of Rollei: Sport! Here you have the glasses cam against Altveteranen of Action cam range, such as take the GoPro (or indeed competing models from the house of Rollei). The classic action-cams can be wisely not on the nose, very well but at the helm or often also assemble sports equipment itself. Advantage: Considerably higher range of applications. Disadvantage: You can not even just set up so the Action Cam ...
Maybe I'm spoiled by my GoPro a little, which I love to use, for example, also in the gym to control my movements on the weights, or on the golf course, or during sports driving. Because I can use the most as Brillencam support (while driving around as Live Driver Cockpitcam). That leaves the question of all questions about the specific application when Rollei ...
Total remains of advantages:
- Good picture quality
- Even in low light still decent quality
Disadvantages:
- Not suitable for eyeglass wearers
- Field of vision is a little more than the classical sun / Sportbrille restricted (ie to enjoy while driving with caution)
- Enable / disable annoying ... to press for several seconds on knobs is simply not up to date
- Very limited scope
Now of course you can say: If you do not need glasses, this must not lead to the devaluation point yet? Now: I think the four star - earned are - whether the good picture quality and in and of itself good idea. But seen in the overall context there's just - relatively the same price - the regular Action Cams from the same house, which allow a much higher range of applications. It is therefore necessary to consider where, when and how you will actually use the Action Cam.
