Thank you for a very good review, good pace, clear and to the point. I planned on buying it until you also mentioned the downsides: Wind noise not filtered out, unsatisfying Internal Mic, and especially NO effective EIS (!) - that last one is critical for Action sports of course. So I ended up going for the Akaso Brave 4 that costs half the price of the SJ8 and answers my own needs (great EIS).
They have a c100 plus that I own too, good cams but for drones there are better options such as go pro and insta360, for your use case scenario it's perfect though
Hi, great review thanks, I recently purchased the SJCAM SJ8 PRO camera plus the SJCAM Gimbal 2, great kit except cannot get the app - SJCAM Zone to connect to the gimbal at all plus trying to connect the camera is a nightmare. Does anyone know if there is a solution to this or if there is any other app that will control the gimbal? TIA for any input.
Hello! I want to buy this camera for vlogging. What can you tell me about its stabilization? Does it have a stabilization function so that when driving normally the image is not chaotic? Please help me with this information!
Hi, it doesn't really have stabilization, it's good as an overall camera. I use it as a secondary camera as can't get as good as a go pro but it's much much cheaper
You have to download the SJ cam software from app store to your phone. Open the software, switch on wifi on both sj cam and phone and choose sj cam from your available wifi connection shown on screen. Once connected you can control the sj cam from phone or copy media from sj cam to phone.
@@droneuk yeah I saw that thanks. still not decided here though. particularly bc the lack of stabilization. watched another video of guy on a scooter and stuff and not so good. seems the more i research these more affordable than GP options the more i just get sent back to GP...
Correct. It doesn't state this has image stabilization. For how I used the camera it's good for its use. But if you want smooth footage unfortunately it's the higher end action cameras you need like the Go Pro. I use this as a secondary camera where it doesn't need to be smooth
Thanks, very informative and very helpful.

I decided and i choose the sjcam 8 pro. Thank you for sharing this very informative video.
How has it been?
Excellent video! I have the same camera. Can you use original external microphone from sjcam. Because din't work for me.
Great review, wanted to see how SjCAM SJ8 works as i am looking for gopro alternative
hi sir thank you for great review about sj8 dual screen,, i hope one of this cam purchase i got in december,,,
Good review
I have this camera, totalled it into a wall trying to poweloop a bridge with my drone 🤣
haha wow no way, its quite good for the price. I am using it for my car channel as an extra camera for different angles
They have a c100 plus that I own too, good cams but for drones there are better options such as go pro and insta360, for your use case scenario it's perfect though
This camera External mic supported yes or not
@@siddharthzone8602 yes an external microphone is supported
Hello, nice review. Just subbed to your channel. Sjcam 4000 dual screen, what type of sensor have inside? Panasonic or Sony or else?! Cheers
Panas
Thank you!
You keep on mentioning gopro but the brand is SJCAM. I'm a bit confuse on which brand you're reviewing. 😅
does it have a 3.5 mm audio jack for microphone
You'll have to get the sjcam external mic. One with a mini-usb for older cameras up to the sj7 star or the usb-c for the sj8 and above.
@@SCIDanceCrew Wasted Money trying This
Nope
Hi, can you charge and record at the same time?
Great review 😊. But when u record with SJ8 dual screen, does the screen activate on both front and back or just one of them?
It's one sided at a time with shutter button working to change from front to back and vise versa.

Please does it support external mic
Nope
Ogólnie ta kamera jest do bani
Thank you for sharing. The stability looks pretty well based on the video will you recon that as an alternative to a go pro 10? Thank you
Given the experience with SJ cam 6 legend I would say that a gimbal is a must with SJ cam.
Do I need a card reader or can I check the footage with the card still in the cam
All videos and images can be seen in the camera screen directly from card or on mobile through wifi with the sj cam software.
I purchased this camera, can you help me how to connect to Camera Wi-Fi
Sorry not used the WiFi, does the instructions not help with how to connect
You have to download the SJ cam software from app store to your phone. Open the software, switch on wifi on both sj cam and phone and choose sj cam from your available wifi connection shown on screen.

Here after many Akaso and Omni Cosmo reviews... Hoping this might be the one...
Make sure to use the link in the video and use the discount code special to ordering via my link

Purchased this camera. But this camera has no video stabilization system.

For about $100 you can get image stabilization on the Akaso v50x.
is it waterproof without the cover?
No don't think so
Obrigado pelas explicações, forte abraço!
