Intova Sport PRO Waterproof (memory card 1080 pixels) (Equipment)

Customer Review

All in all I am very happy with the camera, especially in view of the price (they have bought for 179 euros).
For less money you will hardly find a similar camera and it is also one of the most affordable options
for underwater photography and video.

The Sport Pro HD is comparable by size and format with the known outdoor cams from Rollei (Action Cam) and GoPro (Hero), but is
barely included accessories, just a USB and AV cable are bei.Auch the camera is installed in the housing and the battery is also
not wechselbar.Die camera is very handy and very light, it can in each hand luggage disappear (external dimensions about 7 cm x 6 cm x 5.5 cm / WxHxD).
It is supplied with a wrist strap, the one when diving carry kann.Die camera has positive buoyancy, therefore no buoyancy-Strap
benötigt.Das case makes a very stable impression and includes very crisp, there is no Undichtigkeiten.Der O-ring in the rear wall
should be now and then moistened and easily maintained with silicone grease.

One of the biggest differences from GoPro and Rollei is included accessories, which is extensive in the two mentioned legal.

However Intova offers optional accessories, see http://www.intova.de/sport.html or http://www.intova.net/category/products/accessories/
Interesting dive for it if it were definitely the Rotlichfilter, but the price (about 50 euros) pretty pure skin.

The camera is out-of-the-box ready for diving, there is no additional accessories needed.The housing is suitable to 60m water depth, which should
for amateur divers enough (40m plus security).

Everybody has to decide for itself whether it needs all the accessories and whether it is willing mitzubezahlen the name as diving in GoPro.Fürs one needs
all the stuff and not, for example, the display must be purchased separately in the GoPro, depending on the edition.

The operation of the Intova is by some stiff button bit of a drag, but underwater the buttons may not be as smooth as they
might otherwise be triggered accidentally by the water pressure.

The 1.5 inch TFT display is permanently installed on the back, I find it a bit small (generally a lack of camera-type), because you have some quite
look closely at the symbols abzulesen.Unter water, it is a little better because of the magnification by the refraction, but you should use the previously
have practiced, otherwise you find yourself later submerged under any circumstances zurecht.Auch labeling the button on the rear panel is difficult to read, as they
imprinted only in the plastic and therefore ist.Man transparent should therefore know the meaning of the button and have memorized (but what is not a problem
cast with 7 pieces. on housing) .With the leftmost button, you can also disable the display to save energy, but to me the times unintentionally
happened and I did not know why it's dark, so definitely before diving deal with it ;-)

For aiming at the motives underwater, the display is aureichend, even if you can evaluate the resulting image badly due to the size of 1.5 inches.
The quality of photos is impressive real, even if the result of strong abhängt.Die the available light and the depth color distortion
zunehmener in depth but you can not blame the camera, here can help only one filter.

Also you should know that the camera only has a 5M pixel sensor, all resolutions above (to 12M) are interpolated erzeugt.Das is for me not
Problem, as I look at myself the images anyway only on the screen and for rich 5M definitely.

The camera also offers different trigger modes for the photo mode:

Self-timer: Self-timer
Burst: makes a defined Number of photos (up to 10) off in succession when you press the shutter button
Time Lapse: takes a picture every X seconds, so you can time-lapse videos erstellen.Dafür you need a software,
assemble the single images into a video.

In the video mode you should know that only 30 fps are reached (in both 720p and 1080i), which can be used for very fast movements ever something
be little, but this is no problem at primary use as Dive Cam because hardly occur such fast movements and it rather very leisurely
zugeht.Die comparable models of Rollei and GoPro offer here at 60 fps, which makes them a little more suitable for video of very rapid movements,
like skiing, parachuting, etc.

The videos are in AVCHD standard MP4 container, total bit rate 10.2 Mps (10 Mbit video [email protected] , 128Kbit stereo AAC).

Earlier I had ever addressed the red filter, the wird.Auf offered by Intova itself definitely a wise investment for diving, despite the high price.
However, Magic Filter offers a matching red filter and since it costs about as much, I would rather tend to the magic filter.

If you want to use the cam outside the water, one must remember that it has a wide angle of 140 degrees and so straight edges verzerrt.Dieses problem but have all Actioncams
Bauart.Auch this one should remember that the Cam has no flash.

All in all it is a fairly inexpensive way to get a universal camera's dive and snorkel and have for the beach,
especially well if you shy away from the purchase of an expensive professional equipment and will still take some nice memories from the dive.

On YouTube there are also some videos of the Sport Pro HD, since I can not find personally that the GoPro here the best music videos, or photos
makes.

Who wants to spend a little more money, should look at times the Rollei Action Cam 5S WiFi Diving Edition, this provides for some extra cash several accessories more
among other things, Wifi, second battery, remote control and is offered quite favorable at the moment, about 250-300 Euro.Ich do not think the picture quality at
reflected, but at least you get some more features to play :-)
