Very useful video, thanks. Appreciated
I think there is too much contrast in video. Is there an adjustment for contrast?
No, the there is no contrast adjustment on this camera.
Great video thanks for doing it.
You are welcome. Thanks for checking out my review.
It needs to use its own app? Just curious as I'm pretty happy with how my phone normally processes photos.
No, it’s not really an app. It just uses Bluetooth to allow the remote switch to activate the shutter release, zoom the lens and use the reverse lens to take selfies.
Good review sir. Camera will sell if it is around $100. There are too many action cameras around the $200 price that are better than this. The memory seems like it should be at least 128GB, but the concept is interesting.
Thanks for checking out my review. Yes, I agree with you… if you only have internal memory to rely on it should be at least 128GB.
Great review. This action camera seems like a decent one for the price. I have to say, the audio is about the best I have heard from any of the similar priced budget action cameras reviews I have looked at. The only concerns I would have are similar to what your concerns were, the dedicated cable, and the internal memory and battery. If any of them go bad you could be left high and dry.
Thanks for checking out my review.
Wayne, managed to find the correct setting to avoid curvature of walls and ceilings etc. can’t remember now which it was but I took a still on each setting. Just back from a dive holiday in Cyprus, and the SF530 performed absolutely superb under and over water. Videos under the water were crisp and vibrant and quality was excellent, but like every camera, the more light you have the better results you get. Your instructional video review helped me all the way through. Thanks again matey.
Wow, a dive holiday in Cyprus...sounds amazing! I'm glad my review video was helpful. Thanks for tuning in.
does it only work for iphone or any phone can be used with the case?
I have only tested the housing using my iPhone 12Pro Max, but according to the instructions..."Compatible with iPhone, Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, OnePlus, Google etc., no bigger than 6.9 inches."
Can it accept filters like a GoPro , if so what size
No, no provision for adding filters on this camera
Thanks for the response@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh
thanks for the video, but I could not here you both talking on diff. channels. was this just mono recording?
I recorded us on separate channels ( 2x mono recordings) then I mixed them in editing. I find this method works best for my needs.
Thanks for the review. Recently purchased this camera but having a hard time finding an external wired or wireless microphone. Do you know what manufacturer or model works with this camera?
This camera accepts a wired microphone with a USB-C connection. I had several microphones like that and tried them all but nothing worked. I ended up contacting customer service for XTU and had to order a compatible mic. directly from them.
Awesome review. For a minute I thought it was going to be spoiled by the music noise, but thankfully, it only lasted a short while. The icing on the cake would have been if you also included a wind noise test of some sort, as I am mainly going to use this camera on my motorcycle. Good job 👍
Can’t seem to edit my previous post! Quick question - I’ve just taken some still shots in the house, and they have that curved look - what is a straight ceiling bean looks curved, and a door frame on the left looks curved. Any thoughts or is this normal?
Yes, that curved look is due to the wide angle lens. Some of these action cameras have a feature called 'distortion correction' which minimizes that curved look ...unfortunately the Surfola SF530 does NOT have that function.
Absolutely brilliant video mate, thank you, and certainly helped me set up my 530.
Thank you.
Thanks a lot, good review. But two questions: It seemed to me that the timelapse with the keyframe stops within was not that steady, it was a bit shaky. Is that normal? And is it not necessary to adjust the camera to the gimble like one has to do with normal gimbals and bigger cameras? Is it really just put it in, fix it with the strap and ready?
That Timelapse was done on a very windy day so some ‘extra’ movement was recorded. And yes, with my GoPro 8, I just strap it in and turn it on and it automatically balances.
Can you please tell me if the app allows you to use iphone's burst mode? (When you take a series of photos in a second, it's usually activated by continuos pressing of the volume up button or sliding the screen shutter button)
I am not aware of any burst mode operation while the camera is inside the waterproof housing. On my iPhone while in photo mode, if I hold down the volume button it records video, until I release the button. If I repeatedly press the volume it takes still shots, the same way as repeatedly pressing the shutter button. But there is no access to the volume button while in the housing.
16:49 You are intended to move the camera to make the effect work. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_zoom th-cam.com/video/G7YJkBcRWB8/w-d-xo.html Nice review.
Ah yes, A nice way to combine a pre-programmed zoom with an active camera movement.
yay! another video from you is always good!!
Thanks.
can this be connected via bluetooth to a helmet intercom? looks interesting for the price. Can this be used while charging?
I am not aware of any bluetooth helmet intercom connectivity, but YES, this camera will operate while being charged, or even without a battery as long as it's connected to a power source.
Great Video thank you so much!!
Thanks for checking out my review.
What an excellent review, thanks for taking the time. Has made my research quick and easy
You are welcome. Glad it helped.
mine shows the accessory not supported message and its in the gun mode still there is a lot of noise in the background
Wow.. outside It looks like same as the apeman a100, but the results are terrible... thanks for the video, you save me to buy it
Ya, I was not pleased at all with this camera.
This low cost camera like many others has pixelation under low light conditions. The stability function was not reviewed for 4K as the camera cannot do it. It appears to struggle with the 1080P as seen by this review. Note the blurry and lessening of colour when stabilizing. It is due to low light conditions or bad stabilization.
Yes, I agree the EIS was not the best when I tested it in dwindling evening light shooting at 1080. I should have tested under better lighting conditions, However this camera IS capable of shooting 4K30 while using EIS in 'normal' or 'super' mode. It will also record 'gyro data' for use with stabilizing apps.
i can have seen it wrong but it looks if it stutters while being used in this video as a dashcam. Can it work good with moving videos? slow scenes are most of the time good but moving objects? look to the trees when it works as a dashcam....
I saw a video of the second-generation Shellbox that when the smartphone heated up after some use, it caused some damage to the plastic. How do you rate the 3rd grade after some use? Did they solve the problem?
I have not had a problem with over heating as I trend to use the Shellbox only while snorkelling, so the water would keep it cool, however if the phone were left in the housing on a hot day and it was not being used underwater then I could see the potential for heat to build up, but I have not experienced that so far.
Can it be used for scuba diving?
Yes, as long as you use it within the safe diving limit of 15 meters.
@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh thanks
Excellent video, the camera definitely films better than some of the other cameras that Don't perform as well
Yes, this is a pretty good camera for the money.
@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh yep
How to turn on off the screen?
You cannot turn screen on and off while underwater. You must first ‘unlock’ the screen prior to putting into the Shellbox case.
@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh Thank you for thr anser. I don't want turn on my phone all the time during unter water. So I canceled my order. Your answer was very good. Thank you.
nice, thanks
Really helpful video thank you!
Very good ❤
I use a Canon 10-18mm lens for my TH-cam videos and live streaming. Looking for something a bit better and since I am usually at the 14mm length on my Canon lens I'm looking at this one! Very helpful video
It is a nice lens if you don’t mind going all manual.
What happens if your phone times out and locks itself once it's in the case? I'm just curious. Or, can you purposely lock your phone to save battery while you're just walking around and unlock it from the remote?
Before you put the phone into the case, go to settings - display and brightness - and set ‘auto lock’ to never. Just set it back to what you normally use when finished with the housing.
Hello, greetings, how is the stabilization? Will it perform well for making videos on motorcycles by attaching it to the handlebars?
So, now after this review, what is the best overall low cost action camera that you have tested?
That is a hard question. If it's just based on price I would say the SURFOLA SF530 is my favorite (under $100) action camera considering the quality of the video and the included wireless microphone, although sadly I don't see this particular camera advertised anymore. In the under $200 range I'd say the Wolfang GA420 is a great choice due to it's video performance, dual screens, external mic , and waterproof without a housing. This latest review (XTU S6) I'd also recommend, although it is not waterproof without a housing.
@@ExploreVideo-cr3eh Thanks! I ended up getting a GoPro 11 on Prime Day, but if I need a second camera for B roll....
@@donsmith2833 Get Osmo Action 4. And after testing you can choose wich one is for b-rolls..
Very informative and well made review! Thank you :)
Of late I have been watching several YT vids on various budget action cameras. So far this particular one seems to have the best combination of price, stability, audio quality, and video quality =. Great work, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for checking out my review. Yes, considering the price of this camera, it does a very respectable job capturing video and audio.
Hi i have just purchased one of these, i have a question if you could help with When recording if i double tap record button it changes from portrait to landscape! The first part of recording is fine correct orientation, but where i have double tapped record button to change to landscape the recording is on its side !! Is this normal!! I have re calibrated it !! Regards Paul
Great video, thank you! Following
Thanks for checking out my review video, and thanks for following.
ok I don't know what camera that is but it is not a GA300. The lens is wrong for a start and the GA300 says 4K on the front of it, also the GA300 does support an external mic and actually comes with one.
Yes it is a GA300. Wolfang actually made two versions of this particular model, the original and then an updated version that looks slightly different.
Thanks!!!
I accidentally came across your channel and I found it exceptionally educative. Apparently, made with extensive research and lot of effort. Lovely presentation. Thanks
Thanks very much for the kind words. Much appreciated.
On your other video you said it’s upscaled but the images look better
I bought it for my Samsung Galaxy A55, but the app is somehow not compatible with my phone 😪Does anyone have a solution to my problem?
Wow it seems to be better than Akaso ... Thanks I've almost bought an Akaso Brave 7le but after watching this video I think that this one is the winner.
Nice
Super vidéo très complète, merci 🙏🏻
very good review thank you so much!
Hi can you please help...... When I click the wifi option, It just says waiting to connect then after about 15 to 20 secs it just kncoks off and shows camera screen again....We tried everything, I even got my 17yo to try, thinking she has got to be able to work it out, but still nothing,,,,,What are We doing wrong that it will not work??? We are doing extended travel in 2 weeks and the wifi option would be very useful.....I actually love your tutorial, def best one as you explain all very well......also how do we take the door off without breaking the casement......again, we tried a few things and nothing
Not sure what the issue is, but let me go through the process step -by-step that works for me: Power on camera, click the wifi option ...now go to your smartphone, go to settings, go to wifi...it should show available networks. The one you are looking for is called ActionCam_27CB53...tap on it and it should connect. The camera should now say "Wi-Fi Connection Ready!" Now open the iSmart DV2 app on your phone and you should see a prompt for "add a new camera", click it and then click the page that says "Wi-Fi Connect", and the camera should now be connected. Hope that works for you. - Wayne
