Best review I've seen so far, clear and precise! Loved the sample videos, very clear and greatly helped in decision making. Thank you! keep making videos.
Also you should have a link to purchase the camera, as you put the work in, others do it, with reviews that are nowhere near the quality of yours. So why shouldn't you benefit from them, and it will be a help for those people looking to buy one without the fuss...
Thank you so much for such a brilliant review. You covered everything in understandable language. I think this is best review I've seen for any product on TH-cam. Well done and thanks again for taking the time to help others
I've looked at a few of your reviews and based on the content have decided to plump for this model. It'll be my first action camera, so I wanted to be cautious and your reviews of this one and many others have certainly been most helpful. I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers.
Hi, can anyone tell me why does the camera screen go into sleep mode when I have the AutoOn/down closed? Shouldn't it stay on while recording? I don't have the TF card yet in it. Could this be the cause? Or it turns off but continues to record?
Good review, but missing night rec. Did you? Okay, it's low budget segment, but missing what this tutorial tells about Field-of-view (also known as FOV). Also this lens has a fixed "fish-eyes" to obtain 170 degree scale. Usually you can se this fixed lens at right/left side of records clips, particularly noticeable for vertical streaks / elements / are not vertical like the original but bent out to the sides. Observed this especially at near record square plate. Low price, but not my first choice, but you did a nice video of what this product really was. Thanks.
Difficult to put everything into a review mate, it's already a long video. FOV . Some cameras let you choose wide (normal 170) middle and narrow, but you lose quality with middle and narrow as it just uses a smaller part of the sensor.
Great review! I'm planning on buying one however, I'm debating whether to get a campark (the USlink to amazon doesn't work anymore btw) or the P(Drograce) WP350. Based from your experience with both action cams, which do you think is better? Thank you in advance!
I received my Campark yesterday. Took twenty short videos, about two hours worth on two different outings. All of the videos had small checkered blurred areas on the top right and left, very noticeable on the computer monitor. Of course I cleaned the lens very well before the second outing and it still rendered the small circular blurred areas. I don't see this issue in your video footage. I'm going to send it back and reorder the same Campark... What do you think?
Have you tried and reviewed othe campark action camers. I want 2 for 12 and 14 yr old grand kids. Vac. Swimming, scuba, snorkle, bike riding, dog obedience. Soccer and hockey?? Maybe not hockey. Also wNt a decent stabalizer stickthat moves around.
Great video, straight to the point. I have 2 questions...I will mainly be using it for my walking hobby, is there a windsock available to cut out wind noise or is there a mic I can buy? Also, is there any way for me to wear it on my head without attaching it to a helmet etc? TIA.
I think wind noise is always a problem with built in mikes if it's windy. You won't get it in the case, but you won't get much audio at all in the case unless it has an open ventilated back. I've got some fur material at home and was planning to make a cover. I think you need to cover all the body and just have the lens protruding really. You can try felt over the mike holes? No external mike available AFAIK.
Hi.Love you videos. Thanks. Can you tell me if there is a way to stop the Campark Xtreme 1+uhd 4k camera from recording automatically as soon as i turn it on. Cheers Dave
I took my test videos with the camera outside of the case. Action cameras do sound quiet when you record with it in a case, which I guess is what you mean?
Is the Campark a trimmed down version of the Eken H9R (R for remote version of H9) with different firmware? Good colour and focus, FOV seems fixed, no settings for that. Not really a problem as I have never used the FOV options anyway. No Image Stabilization setting [Gyro] which is strange. very minimal and seems they have concentrated on picture quality rather than a bunch of options. For the novice probably a good idea.
Okay, I'm torn between Campark, AKASO, and the ODRVM. What is your opinion as far as what is the superior action camera? I see there is a little bit of a price difference between each one and, most definitely don't mind paying a little more for a better device, but if the difference isn't that significant $50 is better than $84. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the review! You mention wind noise on your harbour shot. I've tried using various devices to restrict it as wind noise seems to ruin a lot of otherwise great action videos -(especially flying ones!) but although your flying clip seems a bit muffled it's fairly wind-noise free. Did you have it in the housing?
Thanks. I'm on a tight budget but been particularly interested trying to capture the actual experience of flying by getting really good audio that records the vario, any radio chat, canopy rustlings, and even the pilot's breaths... but of course, all this is pie in the sky if the predominant sound is wind noise! I appreciate your thoughts on filtering the sound, but in my experience isn't very effective, and cutting out frequencies reduces realism considerably. I have a Campark ACT48 I bought a couple of years ago (great value for the spec) and tried various bits of foam / dead cat near the mic. It was not in a very good place internally (quite far from the "mic hole"), so picks up wind noise from all parts (especially sharp edges) of the camera. Best solution at the time was a complete foam camera "glove". Later, I wired in an auxiliary mic socket so I could fit a mic inside my helmet - which was an even better solution, although my breathing dominated most recordings! Anyway, that camera has now died, and for the same price (£50) I can buy a much better spec one (like yours) but want to know if a) I could wire in an aux mic socket, or better still, b) if wind noise could be suppressed enough with a strategically-placed lump of foam over the mic holes!
hi... your video was very informative... mine did not come with the device that allows you to press the button remotely... what is that device called it had a red and white button...
Do you have to format the card? Is it easy to do? I wanted to know if you take the card put and upload or view on a computer and then put the card back it the camera, woud the original pictures/video still be on the card or would I loose everything already on the card. Thanks for your assistance.
Formatting a card is dead easy, it'll be in the menu, but you lose everything on the card. When you transfer to the PC the files are still on the card, but eventually you'll fill it up!
Very good review :) bobflyman if you can just edit the title of the video and add the "Unboxing and Using the Campark 4K Extreme Ultra HD Action Camera" because there are many fakes out there so people will recognize a genuine product.
hay hi just curios what is the rang on the wi fi setting .meaning it can be used as a security type camera also didn't get through all the comments don't know if you went over it thanks
Is there a way to play a time lapse sequence in the playback mode? I've done some time lapses, but it seems that I can only watch them by toggling the picture playback one at a time.
Some camera timelapses are just a series of stills. Can't remember whether this is. Just looked at the video, you need to combine in MovieMaker to make a video timelapse
bobflyman thanks for the reply. I contacted campark, and apparently the act73r does not have time lapse "video" playback. So an outside editing program is the only way to create one.
Men turn up in my road and do this flying about on a kite, I often wonder do they do it for a living, all have nice new cars, also wind surfing even when its very cold
Flying about on a kite? Paragliding? Doesn't need to cost a fortune, I sold a wing (big kite?) for £200 and a harness for £25. Don't know about nice cars, most people I know drive old junk! 😕😉
@@bobflyman Here they have new SUV with their name on the side and surfing logo, the SUV are specially for paragliding, they go wherever the wind is , its almost always windy here, apparently its illegal without a permit, I will video one day, one man made a small microlight and killed himself

M20 review is THE BEST review I have seen of ALL reviews of ALL cameras on you tube!
Probably the best instructions and review on TH-cam by far. Awesome paragliding video and amazing place
Thank you
Thanks mate!
Hi. watching your video was my decisive factor for purchasing the campark today.thanks so much
Very good video! You got right to the point. I totally understand how to use this camera!

Best review I've seen. Thank you.
Nice review Sr... you only need a steady camera blessing!!
Thanks for a great video- how do you delete video/pics with this? Can't figure it out!
Easiest way is to plug into pc. If you want delete everything format the card will wipe it. It's in the menu.

Fabulous review! This helped me with my purchase and im very greatful for this video! ❤️
The camera is modified from the Ekem h9r
Campark make their own cameras
great review thanks for sharing.
to be honest, the video quality looks insanly good! Would you recommend buying this for capturing footage on a motorcycle?
Yes great for motorcycling, though not a lot of sound when it's in the waterproof case.
Great video. What specs and brand of SD card are you using? Also, does it have a video stabilizer?
Usually Sandisk class 10

Could you put duck tape over the MIC if you don’t want to hear all the wind?
Try it. People usually use fur over mikes.

Not sure, but I reduce noise when editing.
Just reduced the noise in editing. I fly with cameras in an open frame mount. Felt or fur over the mike can help reduce wind noise a bit.

No. You always have to charge when you get an action camera
during low light performance in the arcade, were you in 1080 30fps or 1080 60fps?
1080 60fps, but it's possible the camera reduced the frame rate in low light. I don't have the original clips to test now, sorry.
This camera or Akaso Ek7000?
