Hello! Who better to test a waterproof camera quun surfer paddler confirmed? So to be sure to give you the best advice on this Ricoh camera, our bearded surfer on the waves went to test the quality, strength, for leaks of this device. The result is rather conclusive! Feel free to visit the video of his essay linked you are given below. The Ricoh camera WG-M1 is a sports camera is designed to withstand. It is waterproof up to 10m depth, requires no cabinet. Its design is interesting, the lens is interchangeable shield into a movement, its perfectly visible screen provides access to settings very clearly and it is possible to view the tours just videos. Its settings menu is very intuitive and the navigation is clear and easy with its waterproof buttons (see pictures 2 and 3). Really no difficulties to perform the desired settings: change of camera angle, burst mode, fashion timelapse (1, 2, 5, 10 30, 60s). This is the first camera that he uses that has no need for waterproof case and to be honest it was disturbing that, but after careful observation of the seals that guarantee for leaks, he was immediately reassured. Therefore, manipulation of the camera, access to all buttons and the screen is easy is always present and clear Whether the positive. Note the large metal piece on which a strap over carabiner is attached and a second camera which allows the attachment security (see photo 1) After losing a GoPro into the water once it's in his eyes, a point VERY positive! The picture quality is very good, both in pictures quen videos. Camera mounted on the front (frontal gopro) / 720p, 60fps / Wide 165 ° Only minor complaints in the photography or the sun is present, the automatic white balance is not very well and adapts the picture is overexposed (see video, 2min), and then the camera is a little heavy and can interfere certain movements. That said, the battery seems very very serious (which partly explains the weight), 1:40 surfing session, and the battery is always at max (certainly not yet fully calibrated, since it is new). The economy of energy function was activated (which turns off the screen to preserve battery), but as he spent his time testing all functions lit screen was often! Finally, fixing perspective, it includes an insert (stainless apparently) compatible with all stands, tripods, booms ... and therefore fits on all accessories ... No need to buy specific accessories! It includes a wireless mode that seems interesting to manage the videos in the camera, from dun mobile device (iOS or Android), that said, he did not test this feature for Android The application is not yet updated for Android 5.0 Too bad, the Ricoh job !!! Positives: - Access to all functions without box - Second fixing - Battery Negative points: - Auto white balance under strong lighting - Weight front That's hoping that this comment answer your questions!
