Sean, thanks to you. In less than a year, I ranked up over 2k subscribers on my vlogging channel. You deserve way more subscribers. At least over 500k. Thanks for sharing your videos. I'm ready for another 2k subscribers. Much love, Bro👍
I'm going to EDC Las Vegas in June and was wondering if this would still create nice videos being in such a dark environment. I know you mentioned it's not the best in low light, would it even worth it to get this for EDC? Would love to do an interview with you when I'm out there btw!
Hey buddy Quick question I bought this camera And with my old camera it missed up when I tried to do the firmware update So my question is can you do a step by step tutorial on how to update firmware
I just recently got mine. Did not get an extra battery with it, so I was glad that I ordered extras with a charger. Instead, I got this piece to snap on it as an audio enhancer. I have a mic to plug in though. Am learning about it now, so I can hike, bike & explore along with the use if a gimbal. Thanks for your review. I haven't upgraded the new firmware yet either...
Hey bro, how are you, in your opinion, which one is better? The ThiEYE or the Campark ACT74? They seem to have the same specs but the 2cnd one has more accessories. Please let me know what you think.
Hey! Just wanted to let you know that I bought the T5e per your recommendation and I LOVE IT! It's an awesome action cam for way less money!!! Thank you!
Thank you so much. I checked out the price on Amazon Spain and it was 166 Euros which is about $200, as you said. I checked out Gearbest and I have ordered it for $88, quite a saving!!!
Just ordered it. I was looking for a camera like this, but not knowing which one were actually OK, i was postponing my decision. You pointed me in the right direction. Thank you Sean.
Hi, I need help about this camera. After long researches bought it as i thought it's the best for this price. Unfortunately at first use it felt off and was damadged badly, but still works. But has a lot issues: battery drains very fast, settings reseting after each restart, one time all videos dissappeared from memory card. Now I don't know or this is consequences after damadge and I just need to buy a new one or it's normal issues for this camera and better look for something else?
I really want an action cam. I'm wanting to do some mountain biking and the occasional motovlog plus it's really good to have a mount in my drag truck when I'm done with it.
You are one of my fave tech reviewers! Honest and I also love the way you speak! I don't know why but it matters to me! Thank you for this gotta buy this now!
omg uncle Sean!!! I didn't even realize it was you until you said Benji's name 😅was randomly looking for a budget action camera, and stumbled upon your video! thank you, it was really helpful!
your videos are so great! so professional haha thank you! not interested on the camera but i still watch it after i got your help from other videos :] thank you
Why there are videos on youtube that says the video was recorded in 4k but images look so bad? is it about sd card or something like that? your footages look amazing.
My primary reason for using these Chinese action cameras instead of the GoPro is the optional date and time stamp. I'm not sure why GoPro does not provide this option and have ignored my numerous requests on their website, tech support, and even R&D. The problem is that most of these Chinese action cams in my experience have had inferior technical quality (especially audio). With the Thieye T5e, I am in the process of "hacking" the external mic input port by increasing the diameter of the hole leading to the mic input in order for me to be able to plug in a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter. This may have been a manufacturing oversight with the plastic casing of the camera that does not allow a snug connection of any 2.5mm plug. While this may be a messy workaround, it may be the only way to properly access the external mic input for this camera.
Is it has EIS in the ThiEYE i60e? Any LCD touch screen? Any annoying of MMC when you plug-in micro USB? Due to too close of two position? I wonder about the MMC can plug full in!
Hey Sean you should do a review or explained video on SD Cards. Do you have one already or is it in the Works?? I'm not really versed on the how to buy the right one.
Hi Sean... please do a video or talk about the best video settings for Nikon camera. I keep having this problem where I'm looking too yellow-eish in my videos. I also use a Softbox and ring light. But I think my camera settings are off.
I know it's not really your area, but, I'd love if you did a video about budget dashcams. I need 3, front and back for a pick up truck, a small car and a motorcycle. I'm even thinking of some kind of action cam that I can use outside the vehicle as well. I could use your guidance. I'm sure others would too.
I use a GoPro for skiing a lot but it always seems to die one me within minutes of recording in the cold temperatures we get here in Montana. It's a frustration for me. I wonder if the ThiEye handles better in the cold?
Looks like a good camera to try. I also had good luck with the Firefly 6s, got one for $70 free shipping. No screen though, have to rely on wifi and a cell.
One thing that struck me, during the whole of your video not one word was mentioned about sound quality? Is it THAT bad? most budget cameras have a problem with the internal mic, is this the same? and can I assume it does not have an external mic jack? Cheers Dave UK
Thanks for the video Sean. Would love to see some footage of you shooting your snowboarding trip w the eye. Can you walk us through how you position the camera, what to look out for when shooting snowboarding, etc? Thanks and keep up the great work!
i just like when he says "coming up" :D doesnt mean i dont like rest of the videos :P one of the youtubers inspired me to make my own youtube channel ,thanks mate :)
Hey, I just bought a Runcam2 which has awesome 1080P video quality (amazing colours and very sharp image) but the sound is horrible ... So now I am looking for a new action camera which has great audio. How is the mic in this one??
Can you disable LEDS while recording? whats the steady shot like? I like theyve used the up down for menu changes like the sj5000 etc good video thanks!
I am thinking of starting a youtube channel for gardening. This looks like a great starting camera for that. My question is, How well does this Camera perform outside? My biggest worry is sound. Will I be loud enough? How will it handle wind and other environmental stuff. Enjoying the videos so far! Thanks for sharing!
I am trying to find selfie stick for this camera and i have problem founding it. Can you help me what selfie stick to buy to be for this camera ThiEYE T5e.
Hey Sean ( or maybe shaun?) thanks for the review! Are there red filters available for under water filming? 'cause I could'nt find any. Or is eventual even a gopro filter attachable to the ThiEye housing? Any experience? Thank you!
Sean, thanks to you. In less than a year, I ranked up over 2k subscribers on my vlogging channel. You deserve way more subscribers. At least over 500k. Thanks for sharing your videos. I'm ready for another 2k subscribers. Much love, Bro👍
Amazing Juice! Thanks for the message - keep crushing it!
THiNK Media TV Will do, Bro =)
THiNK Media TV in this camera can i adjust the fisheye degree 170 to 120 or low please answer
Juice you now have 2,084 subs :)
AFTL xOPERATORx I'm so happy. I worked so hard to get 2k subscribers. Not easy =)
Solid review, we're gonna check this piece out! Did you do extensive videoing at the airport, I thought you needed credentials to do that? Thanks!
are you crazy? that low light performance is amazing. I am blown away that something for $110 can produce such good low light video!
Does it support external mic
I'm going to EDC Las Vegas in June and was wondering if this would still create nice videos being in such a dark environment. I know you mentioned it's not the best in low light, would it even worth it to get this for EDC? Would love to do an interview with you when I'm out there btw!
Dude your intro to the video is awesome! and so is the rest of it :) good job!
Loving the hat! Sean knows how it's done unlike a lot of people who don't have a sense of style or just terrible style. :D

How did you get the merchandise box at the bottom of your video??
Hey I'm just wondering if you work on cameras at all? Or know someone who does?
Also have you reviewed any sjcam action cameras?
I bought the Akaso EK7000 4K and I love it!! $84.99 on Amazon!!! Tons of accessories and waterproof case. also does slow motion!!!
Hey bro, how are you, in your opinion, which one is better? The ThiEYE or the Campark ACT74? They seem to have the same specs but the 2cnd one has more accessories. Please let me know what you think.
hello , is it best lowlight action cam under $130? what about eken v8s & sjcam s16 legend?
The barrel distortion is crazy with that thing. @ 6:14
With regard to your question about how we use action cams, mine mostly get used for timelapse videos and family travel video.
I bought this last week because i heard about it! So cool to see that you like it cant wait to get mine 👌

nice video...your channel is growing tremendously...you deserve it...great job
Great video, I purchased the camera right away. Keep up the good work on the information on frame rates and so forth. Loads of useful information.

Can you make a video on whether cheap wide lenses work well?
Hi,
Any chance of knowing what mount(s) you used in this video. In as well as outside the water
Hi Sean, what head camera in 4k would you recommend for doing painting and decorating tutorials on a low budget?
Regards,
Michael
Can the micro USB slot be used for a mic like on a gopro?
Bitrate of videos??
Thank you guys !! you are amazing !!
This cam does not come with many extra accessories you usually expect with other Chinese action cameras. Is it compatible with gopro accessories??
Does a GoPro case fit this camera along with all of GoPro's accessories?
Is it has EIS in the ThiEYE i60e? Any LCD touch screen? Any annoying of MMC when you plug-in micro USB? Due to too close of two position? I wonder about the MMC can plug full in!
Can you please do a video for the following setup , Logitech c922 & external mic on notebook setup... Thank you
I like to do dance videos! What would you recommend to have 4K,stabilization and working on small spaces? My dance studio is very space limited
What would be a good stick to help me vlog with it?
If you don't mind me asking, what camera are you using to record your vlog? The quality looks amazing.
What kind of camera are you filming this video with and what is the rate of filming *1080? ect.
Great review but what memory card did you use for this as I wanna make sure I'm getting full 4k resolution as these pics and vids shot. Thanks
Will I be able to use microphones with it by 3.5mm adapter??
Great camera, great video. I just want to know. is it possible to change it from wide to narrow like a go pro.
Hey Sean you should do a review or explained video on SD Cards. Do you have one already or is it in the Works?? I'm not really versed on the how to buy the right one.
CONGRATS ON 250k, man! Love ur channel! Been here since 48k man! Love it!
What about the heating issue?
Is it more harmful?

Hi Sean... please do a video or talk about the best video settings for Nikon camera. I keep having this problem where I'm looking too yellow-eish in my videos. I also use a Softbox and ring light. But I think my camera settings are off.

Will you do a review and comparison of this camera with Eken H8 and Sjcam M20?
I use a GoPro for skiing a lot but it always seems to die one me within minutes of recording in the cold temperatures we get here in Montana. It's a frustration for me. I wonder if the ThiEye handles better in the cold?
Looks like a good camera to try. I also had good luck with the Firefly 6s, got one for $70 free shipping. No screen though, have to rely on wifi and a cell.
Do you recommend this camera? I consider buying it... Or do you recommend another camera like YI 4k sj7 star etc
One thing that struck me, during the whole of your video not one word was mentioned about sound quality? Is it THAT bad? most budget cameras have a problem with the internal mic, is this the same? and can I assume it does not have an external mic jack? Cheers Dave UK
Can I use go pro mounts with this camera? im a little unsure if i can use a go pro backpack/shoulder mount with this. thank you
Does it support external mics? Thank you.
How do you apply the update to the camera? Thanks
Kinda liking this camera. Can you put an external mic on it?

Hi Mate, could you compare to another 4K camera Firefly 8S? Thanks!
The fisheye effect is a deal breaker for me. Are there a "medium" and "narrow" views to disable the fisheye effect?
I'm trying to hook up my cam to tv directly with a cable and the tv which is new also says it won't support the device????
Hi there I'm not tech savvy and I've just purchased the ThiEYE T5e!! How do I get the firmware onto the action camera?

Can I get a app were you can see what’s it is seeing live? For example can I stick it on a rc car and use my phone and drive the car around
hi, did you encounter any over-heating problem with the T5e? Mine became very hot after a while, and this issue is intermittent. Thanks.
How is that camera connects with the iPhone WiFi ?
Sean, do you recommend the ThiEye or the Yi action camera .
I am thinking of starting a youtube channel for gardening. This looks like a great starting camera for that. My question is, How well does this Camera perform outside? My biggest worry is sound. Will I be loud enough? How will it handle wind and other environmental stuff. Enjoying the videos so far! Thanks for sharing!
Looks great! Does the audio quality good as well? Planning to get one for my vlogs.
are there any cameras that will let you live stream the video from a phone app or computer?
Does it have a plug for an external microphone?
i bought this camera :D and i finally subscribed to you. You have great videos!
Cool stuff!
Would it be mounted on GoPro mounts?
I've lost my Hero4 but I have all the mounts.

Think media what do you think of the Canon 700d
