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.
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.
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.
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.
yay! another video from you is always good!!
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.

can this be connected via bluetooth to a helmet intercom? looks interesting for the price. Can this be used while charging?

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?
