I operate the camera along with a Galaxy Note. 2 A connection I could have always produced. Even through a concrete floor slab. In general, the connection takes indeed a moment (for me about 20 seconds), but as I have no comparison to other system configurations, it is okay. Why tackle Bluetooth and WLAN simultaneously on smartphone, I can not understand. Upon completion and separation of the system (smartphone RE Cam) I start my new smartphone, otherwise some connection problems at normal use WLAN comes with other apps. This means that the connection lasts longer than normal. This may be with Smartphone. After restarting everything is ok again. So far I have used the camera 2x over 45 minutes on the bike. Once a bike directly compared to a cube camera and even the bicycle helmet installed directly. When installing the wheel, the image stabilization, the shocks not intercepts. The films of both cameras are not presentable. The film from the camera installed at the helm is excellent. Only in quick light change the white balance does not come with all. But I do not a movie turn, but documenting my fun. I made dinner on a Christmas Market Photos and am happy with the result. The photos and movies made at home are good to use in all lighting conditions. Want it better, take my camera system. But takes longer and is not spontaneous (as child recordings). I bought the camera in order to use them as ActionCam. And that makes it very good.
Advantage: quickly ready for use. Barely visible in his hand. The camera is recognized on the PC via USB. Disadvantage: battery life is very limited. Accessories is well advertised, but is not available. The helmet adaptation I therefore need to build myself me and so 20 saves. Oh, I have the camera acquired in white. But would today prefer blue, because then almost not noticeable.
4.5 stars, you can do better, then five stars.
Update 01/24/2015 in the meantime I have also in the pool, used the RE both above and under water. Very good shots it became. Have the RE during walks always. Ideal for quick snapshots. In my view, is not a smart phone so quickly. Applies here as well as with other cameras'll get it to the subject that you want to photograph. The photos are so good that they can be presented in a photo book. For posters or Fotofreaks it is naturally not enough. About a well-known electronics retailer "Con .." I have acquired the helmet holder and the bike mount on short notice. The helmet holder with the belt does not stop on the bicycle helmet. I'm going to divert this bracket for exteriors. The bike mount bicycle holder for RE camera is ideal to mount the camera on the helmet. The holder best side connect with a cable tie at the helm.
