I have long been researched because I like to have a camera on my ski runs, which allows me to dream in the snowless period from winter ...
Inevitably, one always comes back to GoPro.
There are similarly designed products (eg. In "Medimax").
But since the price is the same, I decided for the well-known brand product.
But which edition should it be now.
Certainly one of the most crucial issues.
On the website of the company you see the differences when you open the product line.
My reasoning was as follows: To what do I need an extra WIFI - element in Black - is offered with Edition, if they do make the other editions also has its own hot spot?
This was the "black" before deleted.
Now even the comparison between "white and silver".
The photo resolution I do not care, but I have a separate camera.
And all the HD specification also is relatively unimportant to me, since the 720s resolution (as with most HD channels in the TV) is sufficient for my purposes.
Fact: The Lens is an ultra wide angle with a 2.8 aperture it.
No matter which version.
Long story short. I signed up for the "White" - decided Edition.
My conclusion after the first test shots: Genial.
The following scenarios I've tried:
-When Snow from the shadows in brightness with a direct "view" (tried all video resolutions) in the sun
-A Drive (all video resolutions durchprobiert)
-A Bike ride (1 image / 2 Sec.)
The first test series has mastered the camera with flying colors.
Who has experience, know this runs the change from shadow into the light with some devices very sluggish.
Here nothing was to remember. Fine.
The ideal resolution I found at 720p / 50fps.
While driving, the film has wiggled in the highest resolution (1080p).
Perhaps this is due to my SD card, because I have a Class 6 card brought, since this is sufficient for my purposes.
Again, the 720 he resolution with 50 fps is sufficient.
The continuous shooting mode on the bike, however, has not convinced me. Although the technical aspect is fine, but as you move the bike back and forth, the sequences are (summarized) to restless.
But that is not because of he camera.
Now something else to use.
The functions are quite logically stored in the camera and understand quickly after a short.
The small display is sufficient for this.
However, I've been using the app on your smartphone and can recommend it only.
All settings are clearly possible here.
WIFi as easily set up the PC by awarding camera name and key, the camera was found immediately.
One (Stamp Large) Preview window extends completely to align the camera.
The WiFi - Although mode to charge the battery, but is still practical. Cell phone out, camera on / off.
Yet what about the accessories
An adhesive mount for my helmet was just at it.
I then wanted something for the bike and find that original products are easy outrageously expensive. 25 for a "clamp" with GoPro - my foot was too much.
I have a whole set of an "alternative" purchases. One has here indeed improvise a bit, but goes.
And Batteries I have at EBAY also ordered 4 pieces (No name) but with charger. Because this is completely missing in GoPro.
Who but from other devices has a USB charging plug, can also use the.
Or charge the PC.
All in all a device for ambitious users who want to record their activities.
As a camera for capturing holiday memories at the beach certainly not suitable.
