you know everytime I hear a camera review from someone else I always go to you to either confirm!!!!! As always I just trust your honesty and reviews. I will continue to look for a better camera that won't cost me an arm and a leg!!!!! won't do it.....
So glad you done this test! I almost bought one when they went on sale for less than $80. I would surely send it back as I need sound and good stabilization. I am still fairly happy with my Campark V30 and I use it now for my primary camera. My next videos coming up in a couple days will be 100% V30 only. Again... Thanks! Keep on making these videos! They really help people!
Thanks so much for watching ! I just like to tell it like it is, since I am too a consumer and want a reliable review before making a purchase. This camera "has" some potential, if Crosstour decides to come out with a new firmware to address some of these issues because at $99.99, there are other options out there for less $.
Hi Worth, I have this kind of action camera which is why I came here. Sad about the audio quality and the jitters when mounting into a bicycle but worth receiving this a s a gift
Image and colors looks sharp and crispy. Audio sucks indeed. I am puzzled though why the manufacturers did not test this camera in their own factory? Sure they noticed the audio flaw. What about using a lapel mike? I cannot take part in the competition. I am living in the Netherlands...so no chance ! Thanks for testing !
I bought a national geographic action camera several years ago, mainly for recording mountain biking, the footage is so bad I hardly use it. Which action cams would you recommend for recording mountain biking please, I know go pro is king but would like to consider cheaper options. Thanks.
What resolution are you going to record in? does it need to have good audio? does it need to have average, above average stabilization? See, there is a lot to consider.
After a quick search I have found the X version but not the V version in the UK, is the X version newer / better or older / worse. Its fine if you dont know I can try and find out if you don't.
I accidentally left my crosstour action camera in the rain, without the waterproof case, and some water got inside it, behind the lens, clouding the lens. Does anyone know how to fix that? I kept it near a heater, hoping that would evaporate it, but it didn't. I wonder if I should do that for a longer time. I also stuck it in a box with a little dehumidifying thing that people put in their closet to keep things dry, but that didn't work either. Ideas?
@@WORTHITORNOT It works. The insides don't seem to be fried. There's just water on the inside of the lens. I have no idea how I'd replace the lens, but I'm going to try the trick where you put it in a bag of rice to help absorb the moisture. We'll see how that goes.
Hey, thank you for sharing such a great review. I have just reviewed the latest action camera by Crosstour (CT9900 offering 4k 60fps) which I have been impressed with. I would be interested to know how you feel the CT9700 and CT9900 compare. All the best, TruePreView!
Hey man good review as usual. I'm with you on the sound being a deal breaker. If they fix the sound, I could deal with the stabilization. I would enter to win, but then we would have to do one of our bad reviews if we won, and no one wants that lol. Hopefully someone who really needs it will win. Thanks again for another good video.
great review. yeah the audio is not up to par, the 4K is the best thing about it that i see. but junk audio is a nogo. good for B-roll. bummer i cant enter your contest again, Hawaii is part of US but far away...
And still no way of connecting an external microphone. This action camera gets a thumbs down from me. I have the ct9500 and it's not worth the upgrade.
I think it may have potential with the right updates. Now for me to be brutally honest. It seems like the firmware isn’t finished, Wouldn’t you think a company that advertises an action camera, I don’t know, maybe test the capabilities before they ship it? Thanks for being honest, you may have saved someone a hundred dollars, that they could get a Yi Lite and have some left over. Keep safe and healthy, we are almost through the worst of it.
You know Dan, one would think the engineers would test it before bringing it to Market. Yes I look forward to things getting back to some semblance of normal soon.
Yeah the CT9500 is a better camera and doesn't have that "jumping around", almost melting affect that the 9700 has but the audio seems to be worse than the 9500 model 🤔. Anyway thanks for the great video on this because I was hoping for an improvement to the 9500 but I'm disappointed 😒. Thanks for saving a hundred bucks brother and take care always. #worth it or not.
I just got a new firmware from Crosstour for the CT9700, if it fixes these issues I will post up a new video showing the improvements, if not, then I won't. Good luck.
The audio is just not usable at all. I am sure that you have tried all adjustments on this camera. Is there a wind noise cancellation or something? I recall on one of your past review, you discover disabling wind noise reduction improved somewhat. Hope I can win this, I would really use one at this time. #WORTHITORNOT
Yes I have tried everything on this camera and nothing worked to fix the audio. Crosstour just sent me a new firmware and we'll see if it fixes some of these issues. Good luck
greetings from croatia, maybe for you as a professional this camera is not something special but for me it would be ideal for a motorcycle because the recordings in 4k are excellent and I don't need the sound
i am your big fan from Bangladesh ! you are honest! i subscribe your channel 2.6 years ago,,, i watch your every single video! i want to buy akaso v50 pro se for motovlog!(is it perfect for motovlog?) my request Akaso v50 pro se slowmotion, Timelaps & Running Stabilization!
Thanks to your review i am not going to buy this cam. You saved me 100 bucks. Amazon even scamming people by telling them the cam is on sale for 99 instead of 129...
#WORTHITORNOT nice video, esp on the video resolution..pity the audio was a let down Otherwise I'll get this cam too! Thanks again for another Great video, as always!
@@WORTHITORNOT Hi. What would you recommend in level of sjcam sj7? Like 100-150$. I have gopro 8 and sjcam sj5000x elite as second camera. So, now i want to change sjcam for something better but dont wanna spent much money. Mostly the aim for second camera is Day-long timelapses, so i would prefer something with good matrix, like imx317 (070? in sjcam)
Good review, and I'm glad to see that somebody agrees with me after all the negative responses I received when I did a real world test of this camera versus a GoPro - here's my 'straight out the box' comparison video th-cam.com/video/MNobmgSoJx0/w-d-xo.html
@@WORTHITORNOT Are you sure about that? I have the CT9000 and when i take out the SD card and connect USB to pc i can use it as webcam to do streaming video.

did u do that audio test with the waterproof casing on or off. and is it possible to attach an external microphone to it if needed.
Test was without the waterproof case. Don’t have the camera anymore

Amazing work, awesome channel. Watched the entire video, subscribed and notification bell clicked!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hello, can I put extern microphone on my CT9700 for to have a very good song for my fitness videos?
I'm not sure, as I did a giveaway of this camera. You might want to contact the manufacturer.
thank you for this product review
Thanks for watching !
Keep going man. U r one of the best. Thumps up
Thanks for watching
Are there any news about new camera Crosstour ct9900 ? Comes with touch screen
I have not heard anything about it, but I will reach out to them.
Image and colors looks sharp and crispy. Audio sucks indeed. I am puzzled though why the manufacturers did not test this camera in their own factory? Sure they noticed the audio flaw. What about using a lapel mike? I cannot take part in the competition. I am living in the Netherlands...so no chance ! Thanks for testing !
If they work on the firmware some it could be a good camera ! Btw, I’ll be doing an international giveaway next :)
How can you do a update if you give away the camera so soon?
Easy, Crosstour told me no update firmware for the camera so I gave it away
@@WORTHITORNOT ahh ok that sucks then...you just saved me a few bucks on a back up cam.
Hello.. have you managed to try the latest Crosstour CT9900?? Thanks!
No I have not, if they send me one I’ll be sure to review it
@@WORTHITORNOT I was wondering whether to get the CT9900 or the Akasso Brave 7LE. a:-ì

@@WORTHITORNOT would like 4k with reasonable audio, doesn't need to be top notch audio, best bang for buck on stabilization please.
@@paulsleighty : This one has decent audio (but goes out of sync after a while) and the best bang for the buck stabilization. amzn.to/2Zd2IZr
@@WORTHITORNOT Thats great, thanks for your advice. Just hope I can find a UK seller now. I'm off to have a look now to see if I can find it. thanks.

Glad to hear bro, i wish im the lucky one.. 😁 Thanks wish me luck 👍👍worth it!!! 😍
What a pity about the audio. It seems that audio is still considered unimportant from some action cam makers.
I agree 100%, it’s 2020 and they should pay much more attention to audio quality
@@WORTHITORNOT The CT7000 which is their 1080P model has REALLY good audio....but then once you get to the newer models...they slack on it :(
Oh no! I ordered it and THEN watched your revue! I hope the audio was just a problem with that unit.... I need the audio!
Tell me how yours works
@@WORTHITORNOT I canceled it and got the Akaso Brave 6 Plus instead. Internal mic is ok but has external mic that sounds great also.
Great video my friend. Many blessings to you.
Thanks for watching Nazir
This camera really needs an update. What a shame to sell it as it is. As for today, July 2020, the best is the Brave 6 Plus. Thanks for the video.
Totally agree
Number 8. 10th suggested.
Interesting
Good review 👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
hello sir can u please review ct 9900 thanks
If they send me one I’ll be happy to review it.
I agree with you in all points!

great review alot of camera for the money /
And still no way of connecting an external microphone. This action camera gets a thumbs down from me. I have the ct9500 and it's not worth the upgrade.

I have the CT9700, and I knew about the poor sound quality, but the EIS is worse than I thought. So, it looks like a GoPro is in my future.😞
Good choice

Good luck
With EIS it looked rather good. As for audio and mention. A no,no.
Yeah audio was a deal breaker
Certainly a dud camera now but the 4K seems to be passable . Maybe fixable ,The EIS is a disgrace ,now.
It definitely shines at 4K@30 but the other issues need to be addressed in a firmware fix.
