EDITION OF 15 April 2015
A battery is already on both HS after only two refills.
EDITION OF 8 MAI 2015
After three mails asking for an explanation about the problem of the battery, still no response. Service to review the time, I spend three-star.
*** END *** EDITION
First, I welcome the expertise of the people who put the accessories box: I am not able to recover all in the package without deforming the cardboard. And again, I had to force to close. There's a plethora, and the photos do not lie: everything is there! We can fix the camera easily on many substrates, which are themselves very simple to hang elsewhere (windshield, handlebar, body, etc.). Nothing is missing and everything is in a plastic product that seems strong and durable.
On top of all this material, we are offered:
- Two micro-USB cables / HDMI with Ethernet;
- Two battery (950 mAh: not huge, but enough for 1 h 30);
- SD Card 32GB Sandisk (. Fast read, write less: But see my benchmark 7 MB / s for large videos is sufficient);
- A USB charger and cable (loading: three red flashes, one second off).
The camera is small and made in a plastic pleasant to touch. The screen has a sufficiently fine display to see clearly what is filmed, but it is almost impossible to discern anything when there is sun. The internal menu (with many languages, including French) is ergonomic, light, easy to use and navigation is very fast, as are switching on and off of the camera. There are a number of options, detailed in the book, and they make it easy to set a good amount of parameters.
The image, by default, is a little grainy noise suffers rather quickly and seemed slightly dull. Perhaps too overexposed, but the reset settings when updating handed this setting to 0, while he was up front or + 2. I perhaps did something wrong by discovering subject, however, for the price, there's really nothing to complain about.
Loose Notes:
- The hatch to access the SD card and USB seems frail; I hope she will in time.
- The battery slips alone out of the slot when the cover open: simply tilt the camera. Therefore no risk of damaging anything.
- The buttons are too sensitive: half the time, you turn on the camera without meaning when handling.
- It lacks a description of accessories to use them correctly. When one is not accustomed to this type of material, it is a little lost.
- LEDs flash very many different ways. I would even say too!
- Updating the firmware resets all settings. Write them before the procedure (fast and simple).
In short, for the price, it's a purchase to consider! The image quality is not the best available, but it is worth it for the many qualities of the product.
