Uuuuund ACTION!

Video at Amazon.com See the extensive scope of supply includes the camera with built-in removable lithium-ion battery with 1050 mAh, a waterproof case, remote control incl. Battery, 2 fastening tapes, HDMI cable, USB cable, charger, 1 helmet holder, 1 handlebar holder, 1 suction cup and a user manual. However, no power required to operate Micro SDHC card up to max. 64 gigabytes. These must be purchased separately.

Building

The build quality is good overall. In particular, the (acc. To instructions to 30 meters) waterproof housing makes a really robust impression and the camera can be used in completely firmly and without wobble. Camera and housing have a stand adapter.

Especially handy I find the remote control. Unlike me known Action Cams, Camera (helmet, model, not so easy to reach places) can thus be conveniently operated in the basic functions of movie recording, Snapshot / photo and stop in quasi installed state.

The housing has a lockable sliding switch, the ON / OFF and recording can be started and stopped. The camera circuit takes place via a magnet, so that the case is still waterproof.

The camera has a side-mounted display, which I think is for the operation and for making necessary adjustments is perfectly adequate. How so common, the visibility under direct sunlight is difficult. However, this is at a Action Cam not of real relevance.

Settings

Date / time, language, time stamp applying for movies / photos, micro arrival and ARGUS is switched on and SD card formatting.

At resolutions are for the TV modes PAL / NTSC 720p with 25/30 or 50/60 frames / sec or 1080p 25/30 frames / sec. for movies. The resolution quality settings of high / medium or low may be selected. At high resolution with 1080p PAL in the bit rate is 134 kbit / s. The recording format is compressed, lossy mp4.

For photos (jpg format) can be between 5, 8 and 16 megapixels can be selected. On special Fotomodis doing 30 continuous shots are normal with an image per trigger, in rapid succession, automatic image recording every 30 seconds or every 2 minutes.

The Operation

Photographs compromises must be made. The resolution is quite ok. However, the entire image through the unalterable Wide and full view stretches is clearly a visible throughout the photo noise.

In movie mode, the camera can score. Not least because of the wide-angle fixed are very large, the captured areas. Here the camera is on a par with other Action Cams. The picture quality is quite good for an action cam. Again, the Telefunken is on par with other Action Cams. During recording, a digital zoom can be used by two buttons on the camera. The zoom is practically useless as with all digital zoom. When used in this case can not be used.

The microphone picks up sound from all clearly audible. Somewhat problematic it is when using the housing. The camera provides the ability to connect an external microphone. But what sense does it with the use of the case?

The sample video shows a section of a flight with a model helicopter. A longer representation is lt. Amazon size restrictions at 1080p / 25 is not possible. The clay was removed.

Summary

Fine part with a wealth of accessories, compact and makes good cinematography provides a great service at camera and especially with the remote control. If there really is not just successful implementation of the photos would be, they could get full 5 stars.
