About a year ago I bought this ActionCam. At first I thought in this market category, there is no better alternative as GoPro, but I let myself be taught by various YouTube videos better. THIS INCLUDES THE REZESION GOPRO 4 OFF! (Which it did not then they were)
Purchase reason for me was that I wanted to shoot underwater videos.
Purchasing decision for me was, inter alia, the Aqua Mode, the heart Aubert colors underwater. The gabs not at times the GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition. In addition, the Actionpro was better as the GoPro in things low-light clear. while at Gopro the image brighter worked, but also colorful as a discounted by the noise (blue-green-flicker that is caused by a digital lightening), was in the x7 image that a little darker, but with no noise. That's what also on a lowlight comparison seen on YT where an owner of X7 in Seelife vergliech this. In addition, the white balance will work much better with the X7 as the GoPro 3 Black Edition (if you can 4 schalgen the GoPro I do not know).
In addition, my battery life was important! What could be more annoying as when the battery is empty and the cam becomes unusable. Again, the X7 was significantly better than the GoPro (Gopro H3 Black: 45min, X7: 1.15 hours)
A next reason to buy also was the price, which is smaller and this was like the GoPro 3 Black Edition. When GoPro 3 Black Edition it also has more fish-eye effect as that of X7. And believe me the wide angle of the X7 is enough. I once had with a complete recording with my finger on the edge ... (see in wide-angle setting "Wide" at medium or close they would not)
Even the slow motion were equal in the X7 as well as the GoPro Hero 3:
Full HD: max. 60fps (2 times slow motion)
(The X7 has pixel edges in FHD only to 30fps antialiasing (that are balanced, I think you can tell the difference when you know it. Whether the GoPro has and the modes in which I do not)
HD: max. 120fps (4x slow motion)
SD: max. 240fps (8x slow motion)
If you're looking here for higher resolutions, which is to look in on the GoPro 4:
4K: 60fps
Full HD: 120fps
HD: 240fps
A thought, which everyone has to go through your head once if you an alternative to the market leaders are looking for: Accessories! For example, you need Rollei here's own range of mounts. In ActionPro can hernehmen each accessory for holders who go for GoPro. However, since the thicker forth X7 from the housing as the GoPro one needs at least in the head band of the Actionpro (20) or of the GoPro with a small mount of these extensions. If you want to use accessories from GoPro, you have to say that it ActionPro In a nut on each screw is that for ActionPro accessories fit (does not have to be used, I recommend it, however, for the maintenance) At GoPro there is this mother not, that is, this you have to unscrew, if necessary by the screw. In addition, the accessories from Actionpro is not expensive at all, the costs mieste 20. So you can buy a new battery for 20 and a lot of different mounting options, for example in ActionPro Shop.
SERVICE:
I myself have been used before buying the support, which is super friendly, informative and answered within a three-quarter day. The questions and answers are presented here in a chat room from ActionPro, so you have nice about each other's messages, as messengers.
WARRANTY:
At my first X7 I could not connect to the Cam with the app, although the wireless connection was there. I sent this one. Normally you always have with every company the entire box with all accessories sent them here, however, only the product concerned, I find it very good !! After submission, came only a week back a package. I was excited because I had warranty claims, where nothing has been repaired, and I had to pay fees and whatever (APPLE, ASUS). In the package a letter with the information, my camera was re-exchanged for a. I unpacked it and was so happy, 0 cost (excluding the shipping to you), 100% success. The remote control via app was Perfect !!
RECOMMENDATION:
YES, for all, even if you actually rather stands on GoPro. Restriction: Who needs 4K, or a bit better resolution in slow motion, which is better off with the GoPro 4. However, if time diving goes, does not always need the most expensive (and it was before the GoPro 4 simultaneously have the best product) I would still recommend the X7 as these underwater provides a bomb image. And have a 4K TV your home not determined anyway, let the PC with which you can cut the :)
