If interested, please read my review in detail:
---- Materials and workmanship ---
At the processing in the material used there is nothing to complain about. The Action Cam acts dibasic. The metal front looks classy and the sides and the rear front are slightly rubberized, so the Cam, despite its size, is a very good grip.
The display is very small, but are the video sharply again, so that you get an impression of the recording. It is also important to see what and at what angle the camera takes.
The buttons are properly to use and have a good pressure point.
The only thing that bothers me is that the lens poking out a bit and there is no lens protection. They seem, however, unscrew and be able to exchange. But I have no information as to whether there is any spare lenses.
---- ---- Operation
The cam must be first loaded and that takes up to 3 hours. After that it is ready for about 1 hour. But it all depends on what options you choose to save energy. So you can either turn the display on continuous operation, or can be switched off after 1, 3 or 5 minutes.
The menu is very straightforward and can be switched to the German language. One can choose a continuous recording, or minute intervals.
When recording a possibility before an effect, how to choose, for example, Fish-eye, or the date is on offer, display.
I use the Action Cam in the car. I could look at my own driving around constantly ;-) But also on a belt clip, mounted on the helmet or on the bike handlebar, very interesting videos rotate. You have to choose only an interesting perspective and a good stretch.
To the wide range of accessories, among others also a waterproof housing is included. Underwater shots I have not tried so far, so I can not comment on the tightness.
In principle, the cam is very easy to use: Micro-SD card into it, press Power button and press record button. During recording, a blue LED on the front flashes. The display also includes a current recording is indicated by the red record button, to the display must be activated constantly but.
The videos can be drawn via a USB connection comfortable on the Lappy. The Cam was recognized by my system (Win7) immediately.
---- ---- Video Quality
About the quality of the recordings I was surprised. Deep and rich images. No blur at speeds. The sound is acceptable. For me, I hear a noise, but otherwise everything sounds clearly.
---- What you should keep in mind ----
It struck me a few things on the Action Cam that interfere with me more or less:
o the battery lasts just one hour. But it seems common for such cams to be
o if you turn off the display to save energy, you can only at the blinking LED tell if a recording is in progress. Why is this the front panel? Rear it would sinniger
o the lens protrudes. Hopefully it does not get scratched too quickly
o the accessories are plentiful, but lacked the only thing I needed really: a mount for the car window. These are available here at Amazon for a few Euros
Conclusion ---- ----
An Action-Cam is fun. The pictures are great. Man finds his own recordings of course very exciting, but just for other people, you should already ensure that the perspective is interesting to create an exciting video.
My adjusted video is not so exciting, but shows very well that the recording is smooth and the transitions from dark to light are well mastered by Cam. The colorful date and signature I have subsequently added a Video Editor.
I am on the whole very satisfied and consider the price-performance ratio very good!
