I'm glad you're still doing reviews on budget cameras, because boy am I on a budget. I've broke into the higher end with a GoPro 8 which was a total disaster, then, I talked myself into a GP 9 that's doing good so far. I still rely heavily on my original couple of budget cameras. Surprisingly, I have had less glitchy type problems with the budgets than the GP 9. So yes, I still like the cheap ones for my needs/ know how. Budget cameras are still fine with me. If you're giving that camera away, I will certainly put to use in my arsenal of really bad video production equipment if I end up with it (it's just REALLY fun). Otherwise, thanks as always for these upfront, no BS reviews!
If only they had enough market share to impact pricing of those big 3. Yes, it's not the best camera out there, but at $139 I expected worse. It is acceptable for what it is, but for $199 you can grab an Action3. I think where this camera will show it's worth is in it's lifespan...will it get updates, will it last, will additional batteries be available, is there an accompanying app? Remember too folks, consider your needs. If you need accessories, consider what will work with this.
It's a decent prize for whoever gets it. Do I want it, maybe.
Nice review Andre. It's good to remind yourself of the perspective you have with so many top line action cams.
I agree 100%
I want it!! my wife and I just bought a campervan and we're starting a channel to document our travels. We've also picked up a pair of Ebikes which is why I was looking at budget action cameras. Out of all I've seen so far, I'm liking this one. I would love to have a Go Pro but it's just not in our budget right now. The stabilization with this camera is way better than most others I've looked at. I'm sure I'll be happy with it.
Prices have defiantly got more expensive on action cameras. I agree with you on the XTU. Not too bad. Put me down for it. Thanks Andre.
Yes they have !
I want it. That's actually pretty decent for a $140 action camera. I think one of the reasons the budget action camera is disappearing is that the best budget action camera is probably a couple of generations old DJI or GoPro. Assuming you can find one for around $150 that's in good condition.
Yes you can get a really good condition used GoPro or DJI for a bit more than this camera. Thanks for watching
To me the image quality is not the worst seen in your testing. The price is kind of high for what it is. Yes, I still want it though. Keep the test coming.
Thanks for watching
Appreciate your honest take on items. Might be a decent 3rd, 4th camera. “I want it”
I always have to be honest as that's how this channel started.
I want it, even though you don’t really recommend it so much. Thanks for doing these videos as I’ve learned a lot
Thanks for watching
nice..for the price and looks good enough for me..will try it out if it available in my country
'I Want It!' It's acceptable for the way I use action cams. 📹🚴♂️For safety use as i cycle in busy traffic 🚗. 'I Want It!'😁
Thanks for watching Tom
I don’t know if it’s the terrible sensors in these budget cams, but you can tell from the footage immediately. I think the best option for those not wanting to pull the trigger on a 300+ model is to a purchase a used GoPro 10 or DJI Action 3 on eBay/marketplace.
I want it! I’m looking into getting a budget camera to start out with to film some of my hunts and 3d shoots.
Agreed, it looks ‘ok’. For my beater camera I use my original Akaso v50X. In the garage when take something apart & I have a reference as to how to put it back together. I use my GP 10 quite a bit. But I find I use my Iphone 15Pro mostly. Pics and home videos. I don’t think the budget cameras have kept up enough to grab a measurable market share to make it. But it made it to Worth It or Not. So I’ll stop by and look at it. Thx for the info Andre. 👍
Thanks for watching Tim !
I know that we're both recovering budget cam addicts but I think the standard we should use to keep our perspectives current is "Is this budget camera better than the camera on the phone that they currently give away for free at Metro or Boost?". By this standard, I'd have to say no. Is the audio as good? Once again, no. I keep hoping to say yes to one of these but I believe my rational mind says that this ship has sailed years ago.
As always, thank you for letting me live vicariously and free through your videos and no, please don't send me this camera. :-)
I agree with you ! Thanks for watching
@@WORTHITORNOT Here's another reference point: Does the camera have better picture quality than a Sony HDR-AS200V (not even a 300 or 3000)? How about audio? Once again, my answer would be no.
Speaking of AS200, I just checked the price on Ebay and it seems that the time is right to sell mine plus the 300 and the Canon X82 and buy the Ace Pro. I know I was thinking about doing that a few months back but the time and price seems right.
For AUD $212 not really worth it unless you don't have an action cam then not bad. Noted 3 modes in stabilisation, Normal, Super and Gyro Data in the menu? Not sure what Gyro Data means. Bonus it is currently available on Amazon Australia and for AUD $182 which isn't too bad for a dual screen camera and an Ambarella H22 SoC.
I want it! Looking for an action cam for my vacation trip this year! 🎉
For starters i will say it is a damn nice looking action camera Andre. As far as EIS and video goes etc, for the price it is okay for sure. And in ending, living in Ireland i cannot enter. Oh well, nice video and great review. 👌
Thanks for watching Glen
I think sometimes we get spoiled with the big 3. For the price a person maybe able to pick up a used GoPro 7 on marketplace. I don’t think I would get one before the 7. Keep doing the great work in finding the hidden Gems out there.
Hey there Dan ! How's married life treating you? Yes, I'm definitely spoiled now given the performance of the big 3 in 2024
12-18 months ago, I had thought XTU might breathe new life into the budget AC market. This S6 is Ok, the resolution looks Ok, but it crushes the shadows badly. As I have said many times, these days, a good used GoPro/DJI/Insta360 is much better value!
Yup, the XTU S3 was really a good start for XTU and I was impressed with it, now XTU seems to be like a lot of these budget companies today. Thanks for watching
I want it
Please do an updated comparison video on the Sony FDR X-3000 Action Camera - still the best compared to the newest ones like Go Pro 12, DJI Action 3 etc.
Haha, funny I was just using the Sony X3000 the other day.
@@WORTHITORNOT Ha ha that's great...please do a video to verify that's it's not just me that's totally insane for believe the X300 is still overall on top?
I miss the days when an
Yes the good ole days of these budget action cameras giving really good 1080@60 seems long gone now and so many of these "budget" companies pushing 4K but it's fake 4K (not this camera) is getting ridiculous
For a busget camera it seems good maybe not for 139 but for maybe under 100
Yup indeed, this one seems meh although audio is sort of acceptable. My olde Yi4K look way better than that. I think these brands need to renew their items a lot to get reseller orders, even if there's no fundamental tech change involved.
I'm sure the market for budget action cams is huge, on Reddit for instance, there's a lot more talk about Akaso and Wolfgang than DJI/Gopro, and Reddit is mainly North America. Think about Asia, Middle East, Africa, South America, East Europe with lower purchasing power in many places. Shelling out 3-400 dollars for an occasional use device is not for everyone. We're spoiled for sure ! The good news is that you'll keep having an endless supply of devices to review ! Actually I could see you doing a ranking chart, best to worst (IQ, audio, battery life, overheating, software interface etc, with sub charts for 1080/4K/5K ..., price performance etc... to conclude your reviews. I'm sure most people are lost when it comes to budget action cam rankings.
Yeah just a lot of name re-branding going on with a lot of these cameras and no real innovation to set them apart, but I guess that's business now a days.
Oh, and Yes, I need to start doing a chart
I’ve become comfortably numb by action cameras. I use my X4 and pocket 3 for just about everything I do. I don’t want another interface to deal with for even b roll footage.
There’s a place for these, just not my place.
Ahh yes, "Pink Floyd" comparison, love it. and I agree !
This just came available on Amazon Canada.....$281!!!!
Pretty good to me, I want it 👍
Thanks for watching
Might be just the thing for a kid, learning how to shoot video. Thanks
It would be good for that. Thanks for watching
Greetings from Connecticut Andre! I would use it as a dash camera for my bike, but beside that,I see no quality on this camera!
My first thought is "Holy crap.. that is super overprocessed". Way too much sharpening and contrasting and crappy encoding This seems to be a common pitfall with (budget) action camera's. If these companies would just offer some "flat" or "log" options, or even some control about the post processing, these camera's would be much better. The sensor is good, the CPU has enough "oomph"... but they make poor choices in the software.
Yes indeed, this "has" potential, but will XTU offer updates for it? Don't think so
Hi sir, im on a budget looking to buy a camera, i've found the Akaso brave 7 le on amazon for 110$. It is still a decent camera for 2024 or do you recommend it?
Right now I wouldn't recommend any products from Akaso as they seemed to have replace the internals of their cameras with much cheaper hardware which gives very poor performance.
It looks just like every other budget brand action cam. It's almost like the same company is making them all and just rebranding them and sending them out again and again with minimal difference to catch a whole load of new people who have not heard the phrase "Buy it nice or buy it twice".
Another phrase that works is Good but not Great.
And BTW Go-Pro have not been anywhere near a 10 for years (IMHO). DJI or Insta all day long.
I'm really interested to see what GoPro offers this summer, either it will be fantastic, or a flop
These no name brand action cameras can no longer keep up with your top 3 companies.
Sad but true
Give me the max lol
Haha, nope, I'm keeping that one.
@@WORTHITORNOT Am Danish. So lol
I thought the image quality was better than the max. I want it.
Thanks for watching !
Budget camera is not good enough, poor image quality.
Yes the budget market is falling so far behind now.
I want it
