I have one of these, came in the same box except the camera is slightly different: 1.5" monitor (correctly listed on the box), a mini HDMI port next to the Micro USB port, different style up/down buttons and no light/LED next to the lens. I bought it out of curiosity so I wasn't surprised at the video quality. Still useful for situations when I'd rather not use my GoPro. Enjoyed the review.
All of these under-$50 cameras and camcorders use a laptop webcam as the imaging device. The Onn and Jazz brands at Walmart, the cheaper Hubsan quadcopters, etc. all use the same (technically different but functionally 99.99% identical) laptop webcam as the imaging core. They have a very narrow field of view, show plenty of CCD sensor noise even in daylight, and have an IR hot mirror in front of the lens rather than mounted to the sensor. There's a couple of videos on my channel where I strapped a cheapo cell phone fisheye lens adapter to my Hubsan X4 H107C HD quadcopter and got a pretty decent wide angle view with massive lens flares; the footage from the straight camera is so narrow that it's useless. With this sort of thing, they'll do the same basic thing that I did: put a very wide angle adapter in front of the webcam element to correct the FOV. I can guarantee you that they're interpolating to 1080 because the resolution of the captured video is very obviously lower. The datasheet for a Genesys Logic USB 2.0 UVC-compliant webcam unit can do 15fps at SXGA (1280x1024) and 1280x720 is just SXGA with a 16:9 crop. These cameras usually pair an embedded ARM processor with a USB 2.0 webcam and a USB 2.0 SD card interface and there is a maximum to how much MJPEG-compressed data can be sent practically over USB 2.0 minus overhead and the competition from the SD card interface on the same bus. As an "action camera" (or any camera used for practical footage) these things are garbage, but as a toy camera they're acceptable. The time-lapse footage is the best out of all of them. I would want to be able to turn that timestamp off though.
I just got one of these today for $5 new! I know it's not a GoPro, but is definitely better than a kick in the a$$ when it comes to taking videos in extreme conditions where you really can't use your phone. Thank you for the review!
I enjoy your reviews. It seems that for a small sensor, the camera does surprisingly well in some situations. When mounted on the dashboard and in good light, the video looks rather decent. Edges are not over-sharpened and the colors look realistic. In many instances, road signs are readable. Hand-holding the camera to video tape your daughter came out good - it’s useable footage. The camera’s stabilization is weak. You can see this when the bicycle tires hit rough pavement. Photo stills are poor - there’s a lot of noise, but still the colors are great. The time lapse movie (why did you shoot this in the evening!) came out pretty good considering the poor lighting. Low light test indoors - no action cam does well under such dark conditions. Thanks for making this and all the other action cam videos!
Great video. I bought this camera a while back to record my bike rides and didn’t know how to set it up for the bike. Your video answered my question, thanks!!
Hi, please do a water test.. please make a short video of it in water.. we do not swim 35 miles p/h, and as it says on the box water proof, all the videos is on land and very seldom in water.. so maybe the 1080p 15fps or the 720p 30fps is acceptable for underwater usage ~E.N
as a dashcam in good light it seemed ok, lowlight test proved to be horrible though, bike footage was so so, but the biggest thing I noticed was volume of audio was horrible. Timelapse was cool!
I HAVE the camera and its very nice....1080P 15 FPS IS SHIT... I RECOMMENDED THE 720 30 FPS.. OR THE VGA 60 FPS..IF YOU GONNA SEE CLIPS SEE MY CHANNEL...THE 720P AND 30 FPS IS VERY GOOD FOR ME...THE BATTERY LIFE LIKE 30 MINUTES AT 1080P.....50 MINUTES 720..AND LIKE 1 HOUR WITH VGA I DONT SEE THE DIFERENCE IN 640 X 480 AND THE 1080PP...LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME...THE 720 IS GOOD ON THIS CAMERA....

Just happen to find your video on the cheap camera , I picked one up at a second hand store for$10 dollars , haven’t tried it yet got to get an SD card for it was wondering about the sound pick up on it but while you shot test video and spoke it seemed ok, I’m going to try and shoot some under water footage while going fishing , I guess the low light situation might be a problem the deeper the water but it will be fun to try it thanks for making the vid 👍🏼👊🏼
Hi Redskull nice content. how does it look under water? any footage? also once you start recording does it stop automatically after 30 minutes or does it keep recording? What the file format it saves the video files in? sorry thats a lot of questions.
I live in wisconsin and just got this camera today and it did come with the 8GB memory card. From what you showed me I will say it's good enough for me. But I wonder if there is something I can do to make it better in the low light conditions? If not that's fine and thank you for your review. 👍🏻👍🏻
Before I had a go pro I really want a go pro and my dad got me this one, fair enough for the price is definitely worth it, however poor quality, but price could be more powerful in that argument
Did you still have the camera in the case when you were indoors and when playing ball outside? The sound was very weak then. It is a 720P camera up-scaling, or inter-polating to 1920x1080P. That is why the frame rate is low on that setting, because it is eating up processor power.. A better idea might have been 720P @ 30fps VGA @ 60fps & VGA at 30 fps.
Great video. I’m actually really surprised how good the video was coming from such an in expensive camera. I just picked up one tonight for my son and I think from what I’m seeing that he will love it. Now. I don’t have a computer (I know. WHAT no computer lol) but I have xbox x ps4 iPads etc. Can I still use this go pro on one of these devices or do I absolutely need a laptop/computer. I’m hoping with the USB he can plug it into his ps4. If you know. Please let me know ASAP and if I cannot use it without then I will just return it. Cross my fingers.
i haven't tried it with anything else aside from a computer...can't say. If you have a phone that takes an SD card you can just plug in the sd card in the phone
mine was crap quality but after i did this the quality got better; filming and then putting the sd in the computer watch video and put it in the cam and format again and reset cam again then film something again put it in computer and repead proces it worked for the 2 i bought (2 diffrent models old and new i think)
I got this camera two years ago for Christmas and I totally forgot about it until I came across it the other day but I still haven't used this camera. Did you like the camera at all? I'm probably going to put it together sometime soon and put it to use
Redskull,for this action cam. What sd card is compatible with it? I using sandisk ultra class 10 but footage keeps crashing while recording on my motorcycle.
hello Alex. Gearbest websites shows that MJPG is the video codec format? Is that true? I mean...for the camera in your hand in this video, what is the codec format? ... I'm looking for h.264. Thanks
Hello just bought one of these cameras and it is taking recordings and i am able to see it on the cameras screen but when i go to look at it on the laptop the audio is being played however no image is being shown also the camera mode is working and i am able to see pictures just not the recorded version?.
I recently got two of these or at least a variation of it. I've had them on charge from a PS4 via the included USB cable and when I turn them on and hit record the battery goes from full to 2 bars to 1 in less then a minute . is there something I'm not doing right with these ? do they need to be on while charging ?
man...this video is soooo old...I honestly don't remember much about this camera. Check my channel for newer and updated cameras that record in native 4k
Hello can you help me pls. I have that product also. It's new. The problem is . When I'm going to charge the camera. When the time is finished.It's happened that the camera not full. Always 1 bar. I don't know what the problem.😥

Redskull I have a question bro,hiw the fuck do you open that waterproof mask? i just received the cam today and I cant open it,why?
It won't let me record past 480 p even though the camera is set to 1080.. know why?
tøp I got it and it was kind of easy

by the way, 1080p and 720p has only 360p difference...
THAT'S LIKE NOTHING!
So 720p is best!
Especially because 720p can do TWICE the frame rate

Would've been nice if you included an underwater shot. Still a good review tho

Do you have a link where I can upragde its firmware?
Just bought it one hour ago for $20.00 at Home Depot what a great deal
Probably use the 720p since it has 30fps

Use ir led
Quick modification. Remove the IR filter
Cheap is good but they don't last long. Scratch proof protective case for DJI action 2 is more my thing.
Best review I've seen so far ...Dobra Robotka
such an old video 😱
Before I had a go pro I really want a go pro and my dad got me this one, fair enough for the price is definitely worth it, however poor quality, but price could be more powerful in that argument

I do parkour and this seems like a good one thank you I love this.

i've got one does not seemed to work under the water on my radio controlled sub don't no why only went down 1ft
That's normal, radio signals can't go through water.
Is it possible to connect an external microphone by connecting the Action Cam to the helmet? If so, how?
I bought this at Ollies Discount for $25, pretty good footage and 24 hour loop video on 32 gig sd card when plugged in.
720 is okay, and its just for your safety or if there is danger you can capture it in your video for some evidence
Can we use this for everyday picture taking?
I couldn't get it out
Finally a video on this
Does it have audio. Like can you hear your voice if your recording on it?
Yeah
Got mine and taking it out on my bike tonight.
This does terrible in low light...daytime is your best bet

how to delete image or video from this sportcam?
Put the sd card in a computer delete it and put it back in
i was wondering about the water proof part, was you able to do pictures (well)
Does the SIM card come with everything or do i have to buy it from the shop?
SD Card has to be bought separately
What SD card did you use ?
I tried to put the card in and screen says no card.
Same here man
Great video. I've tested a MGCOOL EXPLORER PRO in my channel too. Do you know if we can plug an external microphone via micro usb?
it won't work. Check my channel for newer cameras :)
Which kind of Micro SD Card should it used ? I´ve just bought a Micro SD Class 10, and it doesn´t work.
+Alberto Orti Roig i had a class 10 micro sd card...

Did you even see the video?
Or read the title? It say $30 right there
15 fps are good enough for the car, but for real action 30 fps footage is way better.
30 fps is ideal for most filming...but i don't know... the footage even though it shows as 1080p...doesn't look that clear...
