Awesome, simple, 4k video camera sealed for light water. Surprisingly powerful (can use phone for remote view/control)
Almost a disposable GoPro. I got this when it was on special for $28, and I bought a 2nd. This does 4k video at 30fps. Best in good light, but OK in dark. It does 16mp photos. It does wireless using their app and your phone as a viewfinder. It's an action camera, so it doesn't zoom or do anything complex. There are no swapable lenses.My suggestions are:Get a good high speed 64gb microsd card. 4k video eats space and needs a high transfer speedChange the video settings to 4k/30fps (this isn't the default)Change the still settings to 16mp, and I also suggest timed for every 3 seconds (it keeps taking stills every 3 seconds until you tell it to stop)Decide what you want as your slo-mo settings (I chose 1080p/60fps)Get a good clip mount that will let this adjust well (I did a spacer to get full adjustment range effectively pointing backwards upside down and up to the sky) (I also went with a dual tripod mount (like a case this clips into) so that I could pop this out of any clips and use it loose and attach lights to it if I wanted for underwater. It also has a very basic clip so you can just have this for simple outings. I also have a hotshoe mount for this for my bigger camera. I can use this to take overall video, while using the other camera to take pictures/zoom and I'm only focusing one item.https://smile.amazon.com/ThiEYE-Action-Threaded-Inserts-Tripods/dp/B01J5276P0/

A good value and decent camera
Update:Went to an important event today and the camera recorded 1.5 hours of only audio and absolutely no video. Very disappointing. Thought this camera would actually deliver but no, just another fail after trying the GoPro 5 session and one other brand of camera. So far none of the sports cameras I have tried actually work as advertised.-----------------------------------------------------------------Original ReviewHere is what I like:1. Compact, doesn't need a bulky outside housing to be waterproof2. Does what it say it will unlike some of the other import budget 4K cameras3. Has a decent manual and the software app actually works unlike others I tried even including the GoPro Session 5 which is garbage.4.Mounts nicely to my helmet and is compatible with other mounting systems for GoPro5. 150 degree lens is nice because I think 170 and greater is too wide and typically leads to fisheye distortionWhat I don't like:1. No removable battery so I can keep going2.No second battery or extra batteries available3. Bicycle mount of bulky and doesn't fit the more common larger tubing on bikes these days4. SD card is hard to remove so I just plug the camera in to download videos5. Downloading and using videos is compatible with PC formats and other cameras sometimes aren't

Value for money is top notch

Wouldn't recommend
I thought I'd give it a try for the price. But after using it twice it broke. Water got inside the camera. I was able to get the pictures off the memory card. It doesn't take the greatest of pictures.Even though the price was low, I don't think I would recommend it for anyone.

Affordable but super lower res than advertised
It’s very affordable, but it’s not 4K. Took it to the Grand Canyon southern rim and when I posted the video I was asked if I was shooting it on an old cellphone.

You get what you pay for
If this is going on your drone I hope you don’t crash. Video is great, sound pretty good , but if you crash (not even that hard) it will corrupt your file, and most files after that point. Until you remove the corruption.... via p.c. If your not gonna be abusing it it’s decent. I would not install it as a dash cam after discovering this.

Great bike "dash" cam!
I was looking for a bicycle camera that I could mount to the front and rear of my bike. Most so called bike cams are very expensive with limited features and mounting options. This is the best deal you'll find for a camera of this quality and all of the options, and accessories included. I've mounted it to the front of my bicycle, and another one to the rear, and I couldn't feel happier or safer when I ride with these. And they're waterproof! No need to put them in a clunky plastic cover. You won't go wrong with one or two of these at this price.
