I finally got my own campark v40 and it's awesome especially with external mic support
I never knew Jerry Springer had a review channel on TH-cam! Awesome review.
Great review. Ordered mine today. Looking forward to trying it out tomorrow.
Thanks. It's a good little camera with lots of features. Hope you enjoy yours.
Many thanks for your thorough review. I've been looking at action cameras for a while and this one looks great. I've just ordered two with 32GB cards for only £151. Really looking forward to giving them a go, filming my Renault Twizy!
Nice review sir! you gave us the details that we need and it was really informative. thank you very much! more power to your channel!
Thanks for a great review.. was just making up my mind for this one and you made me decide for it and subscribe your channel.
Thanks for checking out my review, and thanks for subscribing to my channel.
Same
One of the best reviews I have ever seen so far ... very informative and to the point .... Thank you for all your valuable efforts behind this Sir🙏 ....:)
Liked and subscribed already...
Thanks very much. I appreciate the kind words and I appreciate the subscription.
Excellent review. I was more impressed by your presentation rather than the camera itself. Cannot really expect anything more at this price range. Thank you so much. Liked & Subbed. Love from India. :)
Thanks for watching from India. I'd love to visit there someday!
I just ordered it and made sure to use your link to credit a few bucks back to you for the great review!
Thanks, Much appreciated!
Great review! Really loving this camera so far. I have the v30 but the non-waterproof aspect without a case was kind of a pain. The v40 is great when you know you may encounter some water and the stabilization works pretty decent even while mountain biking. Very impressed with it so far. Thanks again for a great review.
It's a very nice little camera, especially with the forward facing viewscreen. Thanks for checking out my review.
Hello can you pleas help me I have one question :) Where did you bought campark v30? Thanks for help :)
Very good review, thorough and unbiased. Have you compared it to higher priced action cams from Gopro or Diji perhaps?
Thank you for the great videos you did for this product, I will definitely will get one for sure.
It is a very nice camera. The video quality is good, and the dual view screens and waterproof without the extra housing are great features.
Great detailed review. Keep up the awesome work..
Thanks
What is a good budget gimbal to pair with this camera? Great video!
Thanks Sir your detailed explaination on Campark v40 was great
Thanks Wilfred!
Nice Video, what I found is, Does the video become Pixel grained when moving, because I am planning to buy this cam or the X40 variant for moto-vlogging. Please let me know if it does the Job.
Thank you for a super honest review. I've got an older Camparkn but want a second one to capture from two angles and I fancy a dual sreen as well for getting in boat shots framed perfectly. I'm just waiting for Black Friday to come along.
can the remote control be adapted to place on a selfie stick? Thank you!
Excellent review sir. I am using Campark V30.
You have given a very informative review. This is a great Action Camera, but if you want to use it while SCUBA Diving, (which I do), you need to change out the bolts and dome-head nuts, they are not Stainless Steel, not even the 304 grade, you need Grade: 316; fortunately they pop out of the handle and can be replaced with 5mm 316-SS bolts at 3 x 40mm & 3 x 50mm long required, don't forget the nuts: 2 x 4mm regular nuts, (for Bike Handle Mount), and 7 dome nuts for the rest, Cost AUD$6.30 no sweat! P.S. take your body parts to make sure the dome-nuts/nuts fit, there are some 5mm that don't fit.
Awesome and Honest! Thanks 👍
Not sure if you saw my reply. Thank you for the size. When buying the cover do I order that size or when buying are they giving outer diameter or inner when saying purchasing a 25mm cover. Just want to make sure since you know more about it than I do.
Really amazing the campark v40 I like the all features and video quality and every thing this is a perfect camera for 4k recordings👍
Hi , very useful video, I have one of these but I find that downloading any pictures or videos to my phone is very slow. You seem to be much quicker at this, am I missing a trick here?
I really like it you review quiet profesional, best I have seen of this camera. I think you will succes with you Channel
Thanks very much!
great review my friend, i've subscribed. The front viewing screen is also what got my attention, is this the only campark camera that has that feature?
Campark has another camera with the front screen...it's the X40, but that one is not waterproof without the underwater housing.
Great Review. Easily Understood. Well Done sir.
Thanks
Hi Wayne, just wondering...is it able to hide pole stand like GoPro?
terbaik..terima kasih perkongsian. saya baru memilikinya dan sedang cuba untuk menggunakannya
Really great explained, thank you!
Hey man, thanks for watching.
@@TheOneCanoe But: Cant't find how to change ISO in video mode. There is only the possibility for photos. Or?
Perfect straightforward review. Did you do all the editing yourself? I'm thinking about making my own review videos as well
Thanks. Yes I shoot and edit all my reviews myself. I use Magix Vegas Pro as my editing software.
Hallo ... I want to know at time 12:17 you used the microphone of cam ?? So it is very good.
But with wind .... can we use the microphone of our smartphone and it will be on the video of the cam ???
Hi, A query, this camera can be used as Dash cam
Thanks
Good channel you have here, with great info. I just watched your review of the XTU action cam, both appear to have the same physical camera, but with different software. Which one in your opinion is a better action camera (both about the same price point) Thanks!
No question about it...the XTU X1is a better camera. The V40 is very good, but the XTU X1 is much better offering more video resolutions, higher frame rates, a 10X zoom setting and most important, the XTU supports an external microphone, which the V40 does not.
Hi
I heard the battery backup is bad. Any views on that
How does this action cam compare to the X30 model?
very nice thank you so much!!!
v40 icatch v39a vs x30 lindenis v5 ? which is best both same price , which has the better sensor ? I feel the v40 might be weaker as money would have to be saved somewhere for that extra screen ?
Hey there, excellent review
one question though, how long does the battery last in 4k and 1080p video recording
I didn’t actually ‘test’ the battery duration, but as an example I was able to shoot about 1 hour and 15 minutes of continuous time-lapse video.
Great vid, could you please tell me the model of the digital audio recorder? Thanks
Thanks for the compliment. The digital audio recorder I use is the Zoom H1n: amzn.to/3YO8AmN
Great review....all of them
Thanks!
Realmente te felicito por lo profesional de tu reseña, una pregunta... se podra adaptar el control remoto para colocar en un selfie stick?, gracias!
Translation: I really congratulate you on the professionalism of your review, one question ... can the remote control be adapted to place on a selfie stick? Thank you!
Reply: Great idea. I never though of that. Yes, I think you could easily attach the remote to a selfie stick using the included velcro straps.
Great review Wayne! I may consider one of those for my next action camera. My GoPro is a bit aggravating with it's SD Card issues, stopping recording before I'm done, and missing recording of the audio... Thanks!
Hey Bigfoot, thanks for watching. I'm surprised you've had so many issues with your GoPro. Those are usually reliable cameras. What model is it?
@@TheOneCanoe It's a Hero Black. I have spoken to other TH-camrs that have found theirs to be fickle beasts as well.
Wow it's amazing cam
Does the x35 use the same app?
Build looks really good on it
Yes. It is very, very solid indeed!
how long does the battery last
Great video, I am going to buy, your video liked and subscribed sir 👍
I have campark v40 .but video quality not good,pls guide me ... bast setting for good quality....I used 160 mbps memory card
wow what a nice review. thank you so much. it's has good as gopro in my eyes
Thanks for watching. Not quite as good as a GoPro, but definitely lots of really good - usable features at this price point.
Great review Wayne, as you always do! I'm thinking of filming some canoe trips and I'm a very non technical person. Do you think this camera would be a good choice or would a GoPro or Sony be a better investment? Thanks, take care.
Hey Donald. No doubt about it, this is a good camera choice for around the water as it is waterproof and seems to be pretty solidly constructed and the touch screen is very easy to use. For the money it's a great camera. I also use Sony and GoPro's , and granted they do cost more, but they are excellent, and produce superior video and audio compared to a lot of the 'budget' cameras out there. What may interest you is the XTU X1 action camera. It is waterproof, has dual screens, shoots really high quality video and allows you to plug in an external mic. I'll have a full review of that camera shortly, in the meantime you can check it out here on Amazon: amzn.to/3dDMPCn
@@TheOneCanoe Thank you very much for the info! I will definitely check out your next review!
Very nice and good camera video review. I'm from Malaysia!
Wow, thanks for tuning in from Malaysia. Thanks for checking out my review. It is indeed a very good little camera!
Hello Sir. Ive watched youre action cam vids and im impressed with all the effort you put into the full coverage review. I have a question between. The campark x30 and x40 which did you prefer? Im trying to decide between the 2. Is the v40 worth 10$ mote. Ps im buying it for my son to mount on his bmx bike and on the kayak thank yoy
If the camera is to be used a lot around the water (mounted to a kayak) then I'd recommend the Campark V40, as that camera is waterproof without a housing.
Thank you for the reply i recieved the x40 as a gift and currently use 8t with the provided case or rather waterproof housing
This thing has a $30 coupon off right now! I got it for $100 bucks for my wife for xmas ! Might get another one for the heck of it so my wife and I both have one. Great review, thanks :)
Hey, great deal! I always like it when Amazon offers those discounts.
Thanks for the good review. I bought it few days back. Though the camera is good, i am facing a typical problem. After i take a photo, the screen brightness reduces. But if i take further photos, photo exposure and quality remains same as before, but the screen remains darker ( not fully dark, but looks as if EV has reduced by 2 steps). This problem is prominently visible during night indoor photos. Has anyone facing the problem? Please advise me if you have the solution. Thanks
Can anyone tell me if this can be connected to a tv via hdmi with clarity ? I want to transfer music notation from a book to a tv screen, normal video cameras are not clear enough, thanks.
thank you. great video. Any idea what the battery life is like for video recording?
In my tests...with a fully charged battery doing a non-stop recording of 1080-30 video, I was able to achieve a recording of 2 hrs, 12 minutes and 34 seconds.
@@TheOneCanoe thank you
Thank you for valuable and helpful review
Thanks. I'm glad you found it to be helpful.
I wish I had this one, bcz I'm disabled with one leg n when I walk I need stabilization in video for travel vlog
how is the audio quality and which digital recorder you have used.does it support external microphone ? how it performs in low light ? it seems you havent included those footage in tge video.Thank you.Great review
The audio quality directly from the camera is not the best. It records at a low level. This camera does not support an external microphone. I use a ZOOM H1 ( amzn.to/2WOLXkC ) digital audio recorder which does have an external microphone input. No, I did not test the camera under low-light situations, although this camera allows you to shoot photos using long shutter speeds so would be good for night-time exposures.
@@TheOneCanoe does it support bluetooth microphone?
No, there is no Bluetooth support.
Great review... may get this or the akaso brave 7 le ? they look the same build quality? so not sure what one? any recommendations. Thanks
I have not used an Akaso brand camera (yet) so cannot give an honest opinion on that one, but I was very pleased with the performance of the Campark V40. The fact that it's waterproof and has dual view screens really sets it apart from a lot of the other action cameras out there.
@@TheOneCanoe Great I have the Akaso v50 ELITE, its great but you have to put the waterproof casing on the make waterproof, as I do a lot of paddle boarding this is a pain, may go for the Campark as they have a good deal on Amazon UK at present, great review by the way. Gary
@@garyharvey7905 ..another good performing waterproof camera is the Victure AC940, which I have reviewed at this link: th-cam.com/video/T8Zx2pmxvrg/w-d-xo.html It does not have the front view screen, but it seems to produce slightly better video and audio than the Campark. Also, watch for my upcoming review of the XTU action camera...waterproof, dual screen AND external microphone capable!
Nice video!! This cam works with an external mic? Thanks!
Thanks. Unfortunately this camera does not work with an external microphone :(
@@TheOneCanoe ohh no!! Thank you so much for response!!
Friend, between campark v40 and victure ac940 which one do you like better?
Both are good cameras. I think you can't really go wrong with either of them. They are both durable and waterproof. I really like the front facing view screen on the Campark V40, however when it come to video quality I personally think the Victure AC940 gives me slightly better image quality.
Hey nice video. I just wanted to know how to zoom during shooting a video.
Unfortunately this camera does not have a zoom function, in fact it does not even have different lens angle settings, The only lens is the 170 degree wide angle lens.
@@TheOneCanoe ohk.. may be they can lessen some accessories and enable features. :-D
what if we use 3.5 jack to mini usb 2.0, can external microphone work ?
No, This camera does not support an external microphone. The USB port is for charging.
Does the audio recorder used connect to the action cam?
No, the audio recorder works independently. You have to 'sync' the audio and video when you edit. Check out this video to see how I do it: th-cam.com/video/sw914bw_pGw/w-d-xo.html
Amazing to have a camera that has a front screen for a great price !!!!!!
Yes, that is a really useful feature.
I just got one of these today and a dual charger and lens cap was included.
Wow, that’s nice to see that they’ve included a dual charger, and a lens cap is such a simple item, but I’m surprised that hardly any camera companies include them.
Sir, Good morning
I am from India ,why did not purches this product, please give me easy reply, thank you,
Very very good review. You must get your OpenWaterDiver to get those cams in the water 😉. For me, as a diver, i would like to know the video quality under water. Do you know if i can get magenta/red filters for the cam?
There is no thread for attaching a filter. There may be an after market red filter that snaps on over the lens port on the underwater housing but I've not looked into that.
@@TheOneCanoe hi, thank you very much! I found a german seller for action cams. They can tell me if they will fit to the campark v40 if i can tell them the measurments of the waterproof lens cover. They stick the filters over the cover. Can you please tell me the measurements (if possible in cm) from the lenscover?
Campark support wasnt able to help me...
Greetings from germany
Gerrit
@@gerritbenson3484 I measured 38 cm diameter to the outer edge of the protruding lens port on the waterproof housing. Hope that helps.
@@TheOneCanoe thank you very much. I pass this info to the seller.
Anyway, i still have a question. Does the distortion correction work on the highest resolutions? Like video 4k/30ps and 20 mp photos?
Greetings. You are the best!
@@gerritbenson3484 Yes, distortion correction works when shooting 4K 30 video and when shooting 20MP still photos, however you cannot use the distortion correction and the EIS at the same time when shooting video.
You did this 🎯✨💯👑
Great sir
Thank You.
I have one being shipped but was wondering if you have the out to out dimensions of the lens so I may try to find a lens cap.Unless you already know how many millimeters it is.
The outer lens diameter measures 25 mm.
@@TheOneCanoe Thank you and keep up the good work. Any links to lens covers or I can search by the size you gave me. Thanks again
@@TheOneCanoe so do I need a 27mm cover......not sure when advertised they giving inner or outer diameter
Not really sure how this ‘snap-on’ lens caps are sized. The lens itself has an outside edge to edge size of 25mm, so the ‘inner’ size of the lens cap has to be 25mm,
Awesome
Thanks!
Which one would you recommand Campark V40 or Akaso Brave 7 LE ?
I’ve heard some good things about Akaso cameras, but I’ve never actually used one (yet) so cannot give an opinion. But for the money, the Campark V40 is a very good and rugged little camera.
@@robertwright8067 Yes, they look identical, for sure. Perhaps one factory builds them, and other, individual companies brand them?
Can we turnoff screen of this camera while recording.........Just to save battery
No. You can only switch between the front or back camera.
Awesome video
Thanks for checking out my review.
@@TheOneCanoe you're welcome, I also have an action camera, I have a Surfola sf230 but there are a few negatives with it, like it doesn't come with a battery dock charger, the 720p 120fps is way to cropped inwards and 4k 30fps doesn't support EIS at all.☹😠
Great review, very professional. Looks like a braw wee camera.
Thanks, yes it is a very capable little camera indeed.
Great review, I'm not tech savvy at all, I'm looking for a action camera for when I'm out and about cycling with my grandson also when I go on my mini break bike packing tours, is there an even better camera for my cycling at a sensible price, gopro i just can't afford
Regards Steve.
This camera (Campark V40) is very good, I'd also recommend the Victure AC940, but the best bang for your buck is probably the Crosstour CT9500 or a Vantop 5C.
How do you switch the distortion calibration on? On my v40 the 'distortion calibration' option is greyed so it won't let me click on it.
Marco - it's probably because you have the EIS turned on. The Distortion Calibration does not work if the EIS function in engaged. Try turning the EIS off and you should be able to use the Distortion Calibration at all resolution settings.
@@TheOneCanoe thank you, I got it working now.
What cam did you use to make the intro vid?
All the shots (other than the Campark V40 footage) were recorded using a Canon HV G30 camcorder.
@@TheOneCanoe Thanks!
Campark x30 or campark v40 which is best action cam for moto vlog?
They both produce good video, however I prefer the V40, because it is waterproof and seems to be very durable.
whats the difference between CamPark X30 Action Camera and Campark V30 Native 4K Action Camera
V30 is better, and it have amazing EIS
Will a wireless external mic work with this camera?
No, That camera has no microphone input port. For good audio it's best to use a separate digital audio recorder then sync the audio with the video when you edit.
How do I see myself on the front screen? I just can’t find how to do it.
Push and hold the ‘M’ button on the top of the camera for a few seconds. This I’ll switch between the front and back view screen.
is there a place to attach a lanyard ? Also , these manufacturers need to make these action cams in bright colors !!! EXCELLENT review !!!
No, there is no place on the camera istelf to attach a lanyard. What you could do is thread the tripod adapter into the bottom and attach the lanyard to that.
@@TheOneCanoe great idea , thanks
What is the nome of the app for contrôle the caméra
The app is called iSmart DV
Can u use a external mic
Yes, the newest version of the Campark V40 action camera ships with a plug-in external microphone.
How much battery backup and external mic is needed if I do moto vlogging.
This camera ships with 2 batteries. Each battery should be good for about 60 minutes of recording. This camera has no external mic input, so you will have to use some kind of digital audio device, such as a Zoom H1 (which is what I use): amzn.to/3ajpO5H
@@TheOneCanoe thanks for nice review keep doing best. Love from india🤗
how do you turn on the front screen ?
Push and hold the ‘M’ button to switch between the front and rear view screen.
campark x30 or v40 which is the best
Both shoot good quality video, but for me the V40 is the better camera. Front facing view screen and waterproof, and better build quality make the V40 the obvious choice
Is this camera have live streaming feature?
No, there is no live stream function on this camera.
Which camera od better ? campark v30. - campark v40 ???
I can't say for sure as I've never used the V30, but looking at the specs of the two cameras I'd choose the V40 simply because it's waterproof and it has the very useful dual viewscreens.
Great video and explained very well about the product sir.
Thanks for the compliment!
Just got my camera and have noticed a pronounced hissing / white noise in the audio? Do you know if there is a fix for that ?. Just found out this noise is only present when using 2K,4K resolution ?
I have not heard of/seen that issue before on any action camera. Does it do that when playing back in the camera as well as when playing the files back on a computer?
..also...could be a problem if you are using the H.265 codec. I find some of these action cameras do not handle this codec very well. Try using the H.264 codec and see if the problem persists.
@@TheOneCanoe i Have made two short video clips on my utube channel. You have to turn the volume up to hear the fluttering noise on the audio. How to you know if your using H.265 and how do you change it ? th-cam.com/video/ccdZjLETlTM/w-d-xo.html
@@TheOneCanoe Yes does it when playing back on the camera ? I have contacted Campark support via email and they have not been very helpful ?
@@AustinPetDetective sorry, the V40 only has the H.264 codec ( I was mixing it up with the X30 model that has both) however, I played back your clip and I'm afraid I do not know what is causing that background noise. Mine does not seem to have that problem. Did you buy it on Amazon...they have a good return/exchange policy.
Hi, the camera looks exactly like the Akaso Le 7! Is it possible to use an external mic.? The Akaso LE 7 has not the option what I hope to find in this one. Thanks in advance getting back with an answer😬
No, this camera does Not support an external microphone.
Does it float ? Say your filming in a canoe and drop it over . If it does float then I might paint some yellow dots on it or some bright colour to spot it.
No, this camera does not float.
@@TheOneCanoe OK, thanks for the bad news T O C . Pity because it seems like a great cam at a great price. I might still get one and glue some cork sheet cut to suit , 3-4mm thick on the shell with some punch holes to help dissipate any heat , using two part yacht adhesive. I would hope with the waterproof case it does float but maybe not ? Your reviews are really good and to the point , I can't stand wafflers so i've sub'd to your page .
What app do I download?
The app that works with the Campark V40 is called "iSmart DV"
It looks like the xtu is identical to the V40 . Do the batteries fit either one? The xtu has other features but housing looks identical. I have heard one company makes them and you can have one branded to what features you want to include. looks like the lens cover on the XTU should fit the Campark V40.
Plus I have seen some unboxings and the Campark V40 sometimes comes with external dual battery charger.If the batteries are the same for both cameras I have found a charger and two batteries for the XTU
Yes indeed, these cameras do look the same, and the batteries are in fact interchangeable, but there are many differences between these 2 cameras. The V40 tops out at 720-120, 1080-60, and 4K-30, whereas the XTU X1 will handle 720-240, 1080-120 and 4K-60. the XTU X1 also has a very good 10X zoom feature, and 2 levels of image stabilization. But the best feature that sets these cameras apart is the fact that the XTU accepts an external microphone enabling you to record superior audio...something that the V40 does not do. Now XTU makes a lower priced camera, that's the XTU S3 and it shares similar features to the V40. Check out my review of the XTU X1: XTU X1 Action Camera Review - TH-cam
@@TheOneCanoe I was looking for an external charger and extra batteries and found it for the XTU X1 I understand the battery has a notch near the connectors. Generic batteries don't have the notch and don't work
@@TheOneCanoe Do the batteries interchange on the Okaso Brave 7LE also
Do not know. I’ve never used any of the Akaso cameras.
@@TheOneCanoe They must have upgraded since your review, according to their website, the V40 ships with an external mic and the Video Resolution: 720P 240fps/720P 120fps/720P 60fps/720P 30fps
The sound recorder is called what?? Digital what??
That is a “Digital Audio Recorder”. There are many brands available. I use a model made by Zoom. It is the Zoom H1.
@@TheOneCanoe thank you.. Soo many questions to ask sorry.. But how does it work.. Does it have wife.. How does it really work.. Coz the sound is really good.. I would love to get 1
@@Rachealkatapula85 No, it does not use WiFi. You record the audio separately and then you synchronize the audio with the video when you edit the video. It is better explained in this video I produced a few years ago: th-cam.com/video/sw914bw_pGw/w-d-xo.html
