Here the version "Ready" is provided automatically with a MicroSD memory card Class10 16GB, priced at 1090 as I write this review, not to mention the plethora of mounting accessories for use roughly anywhere (tripod, helmet, shoulder strap, plunged to a handlebar in dashcam (car dashboard) etc ...).
The 16GB can record approximately 2 hours in maximum resolution and finesse. Micro SD gets into the side slot and pressing it with a fingernail triggers a spring to make.
Ultrasport give us the camera set in German, from the menu select "Sprache" to put it in the language of your choice. Be reassured, a French manual is included in the box :) Remember to remove the protective film on the lens of the camera but also in watertight enclosure of glass.
With a recording in 1080p 30i / s and looks like two drops of water to the SJCAM SJ4000, I even want to say that it is the same with the colors of the German company Ultrasport, but enjoys a guarantee here two and a service in Germany (their Facebook page demonstrates a good service with a smile).
This camera is on the market since early 2014, and there are numerous tests on popular video sites if one seeks with its original reference, including direct comparisons with the flagship brand and I can only say this camera is a very very good deal currently difficult to justify the premium price for the iconic brand that is not better.
The menus are simple and it has 4 buttons to fix everything, the screen is necessarily small for quadras + but still readable for the less old.
I get very good results with this camera, the best settings are in my opinion an increase in the exposure of a notch to + 1/3, activation of HDR and quite effective image stabilization.
I have not yet had the opportunity to take him but the diving 30m announced for the case seem to me credible because the housing resists twisting and appears strong, I even think that it will remain tight but deep that Orders will no longer be used. If you're shooting underwater, get a red filter in front of the objective set for a much better result.
In very low light there is some noise but it's still okay, no wonder she manages to produce convincing results underwater. In daylight it is very strong in 1080p and fast and pretty much handles the changes in light intensity and the cons-days.
His goal of 170 ° opening generates a fisheye effect (fisheye) typical for this kind of camera, but you would expect and it remains acceptable.
His side integrated microphone is correct, no breath but did not audiophile quality. The microphone is switched off if you do not want a cookie for use in loud.
Allow a cable with a micro-HDMI side if you want to connect directly to a TV, charge or data management is done for example with micro USB cable supplied.
Its strong points:
+ Excellent image quality with stabilization in broad daylight but also in low light
Well balanced HDR + mode that enhances the brightness of the image
+ Wide angle of 170 °
+ 60-70 minutes of recording time on a battery charge
+ USB Webcam Function (lower resolution) monitor with motion detection and dashcam (automatic stop-start with food, loop recording)
+ Additional Batteries SJ4000 easy to find
+ Plethora of accessories including a case that really holds in diving
+ SD Card 16GB Class 10 supplied
+ Tight Price
Major weaknesses:
- No real way 60 frames / sec in 720, the camera twice written the same frame captured in 30 fps, so no idle
- Photos are not better than the video frames
- Relatively long charging time
- Its just okay, bad once in the sealed box but logical
- No display through the HDMI output while recording
- Fisheye effect (fisheye) slightly pronounced with the 170 ° lens
- Looks a bit too much the flagship brand, not to leave :)
There for a month with the same wifi allowing you to frame using a smartphone or tablet, and to access the various camera settings and make file transfers, I think that Ultrasport should consider adding to their catalog as it may be useful to some. If you have only do WiFi, I can only recommend this little toy of very good quality.
