New Stuff - a Tarp and a New Action Camera, the Wolfang GA420 -2024 Ep.6

- Amazon knows me. I’ve got a new tarp but more importantly I have bought a new camera. I’ve never bought a camera priced over $200 Canadian and I’m always looking for a sale. I’ve been running an Akaso Brave 7LE for three years and I am quite happy with it. Two years ago I added an XTU S3 and an XTU Max Pro. The 7LE does not take an external microphone, the XTUs do. Amazon kept putting the Wolfang GA420 as a suggestion in my feed and I was intrigued that it looked just like the Akaso 7’s and the XTUs so when it came up at a fantastic price I thought I would try it. It’s looking good. It’s batteries fit the XTU and the 7LE. I’m not saying it’s the best camera on the market but it looks like a good bang for the buck!

That's a good deal on that camera. With a few mods you should have the batteries all fitting well. Well done Jim.
You'll have to check tomorrow morning's video. More cameera testing to come but at that deal, I just bought a spare camera.
@@OldGuyonaBike , thanks Jim, I will be watching for sure.
Just saw you on Bryan and Holly channel so I had to drop by for a visit and I like what I'm seeing so you have a new subscriber. Great review on the camera, I like your philosophy on buying a cheaper camera that still has all the functions and work just like the more expensive because it will hurt less when you break or lose it .... I'm on my third one lol, and I didn't learn that until now lol.
Looking forward to checking more of your videos
Lots of travel, camping and motorcycling. It was great to visit with Bryan and Holly. I don't need broadcast standard and I don't shoot higher than a 1080 resolution so I find anything in the $200 Cdn. range meets all my needs. I have abused my cameras in rain, snow and falls... they keep working. A couple are not as water resistant as they used to be lol.
@@OldGuyonaBike almost put mine in the fire last week lol
They went on for 120 CAD! It's supposed to be delivered today. Just checked and they're back to 190 (but there's a 50 dollar coupon so 140). Thanks for the video!
I've been doing a fair bit of testing and really pleased especially at the lower price. Bought a 2nd as a backup. Full review video coming up soon.
@@OldGuyonaBike Looking forward to it.
@@OldGuyonaBike I have come here 3 months later, I was hoping to see the review video. What is your verdict on it now?
@@donsmith2833 I have to admit that I have been far busier than I expected. I am quite impressed with Wolfang 420. I have done a number of rides with it as my helmet cam and very pleased with the video and audio. I am going to use one as my main helmet cam this summer. Very good bang for the buck. You have now reminded me that I have to do an actual review.
@@OldGuyonaBike Great. I am trying to not buy a GoPro or DJI Osmo, but I want to use it for mountain biking, EIS is paramount.
Please tell me how to get back to shooting view after wifi connecting. When I press power button after wifi connecting I lose the wifi
It seems that when you have the wifi on, you need to use your phone to view what the lense sees and control it for turning it on and off, take stillls etc.. You can change settings from your phone as well. The camera keeps that wifi connect screen displayed and yes, mine would only change by using the power button to shut the camera off.
You’re going to have to change your name to “crafty old guy on a bike”
The theatre technician in me is always looking to make things do double or triple duty.
As a novice and following your channel, You've got me almost convince to order 2 of these cameras along with 2 of the charging packages that you mentioned. I'm just a little confused on the SD cards they say they support up to 64g but you inserted a 128g, so will the 128g work???
The manual stated up to 64 gig but the newest info now says 128. No problem with the 128 so I guess they upgraded the software before reprinting the manuals. Pleased enough with the camera to have ordered a spare at the sale price. More testing videos coming up in the next week or so.
@@OldGuyonaBike As usual your information is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks! Just as a side note I have been to Newfoundland Twice and enjoyed it very much, looking forward to returning some day what a fantastic adventure
Lead in wearing shorts... thought you'd be showing the snow fall and crappy weather! The finger looks good,or is this pre-surgery?
That was just last week, so the finger is coming along quite well. My father, making a sound home movie, sat at our picnic table that was covered in 4" of snow... reading a newspaper... turned to the camera and said, "it's mid February - time to go south" while wearing only a bathing suit. I can be tempted to do strange things.
@@OldGuyonaBike Too funny! . Good to see a quick recovery. Are you doing PT or just letting your "retirement job" exercise the finger?
Using a good hand cream to soften the tissue and doing excercises all the time while on the computer.@@brianfromnh2596
At the moment, it's on sale again $126.34 Canadian! 👍
I'm almost tempted to pick up a spare!
@@OldGuyonaBikeHave you had occasion to test it out and see how it compares? At that price sounds like a great deal if it checks out
My whole 106 day series was shot on my Akaso 7LE and the XTU S3. The XTU was my helmet cam. This camera is feeling like it will be as good as those 2. I've only done some indoor shots so far. Will do more tests this weekend. It's no new DJI or GoPro but at 1/4 the price it is a damn goo cameera. So tempted to get a 2nd. @@johnclark812
I am seeing this camera on sale right now for $126.34 Amazon reg $189.99 awful tempting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The price drop was too tempting. I picked another one up as a spare.
FYI Jim you are making a special appearance on the weekly Codraven video this Sunday morning......While you were camping at the Homestead.
Lookinjg forward to it.
Just like xmas when the Amazon box shows up Jim. I retired from the cheapy cameras and paid too much for a GP9 and so far it has been flawless. I must say you have great luck with those cheapy camera though. That's awesome! You do a lot of voice over which is great for these cameras that don't have great mic performace. You are right, the audio on this one is not the greatest. These cameras are great for your travel vlog style of videos.
I was too far away in a very noisy room. All camcoders and even my DSLR have some trouble with audio pickup unless you are upping your external mic game. Will be trying a few tricks in the next little while. I'm quite pleased with the video performance overall though. Much more testing to come.
How about speaking OR having background music? It’s hard to concentrate on what you’re saying with the annoying techno music in the background. Thank you. I do enjoy your content.
Might have rushed this one a little.
What about an exteral battery charger for the Wolfgang GA420 ? Anyone know one that will work? Great Video!
www.amazon.ca/dp/B08GKPLM7D?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details The new Akaso 7LE batteries fit. Got this charger and 2 spares.
Work on the audio Jim. Your content is excellent but if we can't hear it properly then it kinda kills your message.
This is one of the few that has gotten away from me. Just got a new wireless lavilier in that will help in high noise areas.
Glad to see your hand is healed up. Looks like you have good movement in fingers . Keep em coming .
I can pull in a clutch and get my motorcycle glove on but have a ways to go with physio. Another month and it should be close to 100%
Keep it up,Old Guy on the Motorcycle. Victor from South Africa
Thanks Victor!
You need a proper Microphone.Sound is terrible.
Was this this first video of mine you've watched? Usually my sound is much better. I knew this one was no good. We'll keep working at it.
Nice camera Jim hope it works well for you take care have a great weekend
We're certainly ging to test it out.
Very nice!! Can’t wait to see them in use!!!!
Gotta do some playing but I think they will work out well.
Any info on your SD card case? Very nice
Mine was from Amazon Canada but must be available everywhere. www.amazon.ca/Slots-Memory-Water-Resistant-Anti-Shock-Wallet/dp/B07SYPYH5M/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=8C0PFD9OPTY4&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.DUr-Ypw9cnFqwNiGQh-q9ApV3hq1ytHXKhSbN3fZh0K5cnMsvxxuxGOzH8Cq0cyKIJyBuRci7JRQ-0q3vAy1x_SHtW8z-B8hhIi0kKvLMPBrK9ZIcX43QJ_7mLlB40mYr8KlZllssyndrBH-n89eiSAGNGP_AJrEdZ9xoXEzXHkSn8athoIJcpT-V9oqOdorxautxeY9JQGpB41HQf3lqoPGwCIcMGt56Ge7cfYryPxEqbU60T8uWpXCk4aYUj-FNLdMLYyLR5Pi-JGGwuHqWr2vTHuYImF--rxs_jnBU8s.mcZA4oEV-WHPCh1LSEJ6PfAkvuxug__irQO4xFXjsh0&dib_tag=se&keywords=sd+card+storage+case&qid=1708705421&sprefix=SD+card+storage%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1
Good vid. But the background music sucked. You didn't even need any.
I probably rushed this one, couldn't get rid of the heater noise and got frustrated.
I couldn't even hear the heater noise.@@OldGuyonaBike
