The camera has a silver-colored plastic housing and is equipped with its 75 grams (camera test, weighed) pleasing light. It is waterproof without any accessories to a depth of 10 meters. Similarly positive us the scope and quality of the supplied accessories have surprised. What Co. is very costly even at the far more expensive counterparts of GoPro &, is here already in the package:
- The ONEconcept StealthCam Action camera itself (Sure)
- USB wall charger (1A) with charging cable (already there is often saved at competitors)
- A holder for tubes of about 18mm to 52mm diameter (eg bicycle handlebar, surf mast bracing of private aircraft)
- A holding plate with headband and straps for attaching to helmets with ventilation slots
- An adjustable in the tilt angle
- Three 3M Doppelklebepads
- Also a, albeit rather briefly held and written in English, manual
Since the camera is equipped on the bottom with a tripod socket, it can also be mounted on all standard tripods. Also for optional adapters are still necessary in many competitors.
What is needed is still a micro SD memory card up to 32 GB. For smooth video, we recommend Class 10 cards here.
The photo resolution is 5 megapixels (2560 x 1920px, aspect ratio 4: 3, jpeg), for videos are HD Ready (1280 x 720px, 16: 9, QuickTime) and Full-HD (1920 x 1080, 16: 9, QuickTime) available.
It is operated via two buttons, two status LEDs inform on the operating status:
1) Long press on the power button: camera is turned on
2.) LED lights up orange, the camera is in video mode with 1280 x 720px
3.) 1. pressing the Mode button: LED lights up orange / blue, camera is in video mode with 1920 x 1080px
4.) 2. Pressure on the mode button: LED is blue, the camera is in Photo mode
5.) 3. Pressure on the mode button: LED lights up orange again, the camera is in video mode with 720px x 1280
In mode you want the photo / video recording with a short press on the power button is started and stopped again. The successful entry is confirmed by a short vibration and acoustic signal.
6.) Another long press on the power button: camera is switched off again
If no entry is possible, helps in most cases the pressure with a thin wire (eg paperclip) on the reset button on the back of the camera.
A display is missing, but the built-in 115 ° wide-angle lens, the image field can be after a few tries and with some experience to assess quite well. On the other hand somewhat awkward is the timestamp. For this purpose must be to a PC creates a .txt file and transferred to the micro SD card only. When this card is used in the camera, the date and time of recording on demand in the video appear.
Image and video quality
The strength of ONEconcept StealthCam Action Camera is very clear video. The HD Ready resolution of 1280 x 720px is sufficient. Because the lens permanently installed can not supply the full HD resolution (1920 x 1080) adequately. But presenting for display on the monitor or to Action Videos to the relevant portals reichts completely. Thanks to the large recording angle and the integrated shake correction, the videos are also of action-packed situations quite handsomely. Something more than just disappointed we have, however, the photos from the camera test. They are dark, fairly low in contrast and not too sharp. This can almost every mobile phone better today.
The non-removable Lithium-Ion battery with 3.7V / 700mAh allows up to about 45 minutes of video recording in HD-ready, then needs to be recharged again.
