For me 3 stars (***) are justified considering the low price and the moderate alternative products in this price range. In detail: > Operation is simple and straightforward. > The video quality is tolerable, not good. You must expect quite a noisy image. > The sound is understandable, but very dull. > The camera inserted with clip in my shirt pocket Interview Pens takes obliquely upward; the lower part of a face, which is my opposite, lacking. > The pen has a diameter of 15 mm, is thus not "very" lean. > The total available memory is 7.5 GB. > For Video Start with a single charge, the new PEN has recorded a total of just over 51 minutes of film and then switched off. Curiously, these were 51 minutes spread over 3 videos with the lengths (mm: ss) 30:05, 15:02 and 06:30. Of this 1.26 GB of total existing 7.5 GB were occupied. > The charge status can not be recognized. Charging is according to instruction 2 - take 2.5 hours. > Mechanical works of PEN stable, but not high quality. Tact is required. > In order to expose the USB connector, screwed it onto the pen. Here you can feel high friction in the thread. > The displayed by VLC player information to the recorded video stream, I have attached the product description as an image.
A small blue or yellow LED, which is located opposite the camera opening behind a bore diameter of about 1.5 mm, indicates the operating state. The light from the LED is reflected from the inside of his shirt pocket. This can be seen that this is not an ordinary pen. Anyone thinking, tape over the hole, is the operating state can no longer recognize.
And finally, if you read my review of healthy curiosity: Before you decide on a purchase, you should (as always) be clear whether or how you really need the product. Secret recordings are illegal. This can have (in Germany, etc.) legal consequences when it strikes, and that's good! Finally, I would also not be unnoticed filmed. You could also think about whether you prefer to donate money at Christmas for a good cause ...
