+Karl Conrad Hi Karl!! Can you please help me out with this dilemma? I bought the Cube (original). I was wondering how I can get this to record the entire 90 minutes without breaking the video down to 5 minute increments!! I just bought this and tried this by putting it on my dashboard and driving around the city. Unfortunately, it keeps recording only in 5 minute increments. So, I got like 10 - 5 minute videos. That is really annoying!! I just want it to record the entire 90 minutes. I set it to the 720p, if it matters. Thank you in advance if you can help me out!!
great review, I love the camera, however I have some issues the wifi is a great feature but connectivity if ur on the go is a pain. in order to view remotely I have to first hold the button dow to enable wifi, then I have to go to my phone settings locate the cube network, connect to it, then close settings open the cube app and then i can utilize the wifi, wish it was more like blutooth and connected automatically when turned on
Don't buy if you want to process in video editing software! The video and audio quality is very good if you just want to play it in VLC or Quick Time. However, if you plan to drop it into any video editing software (and I have tried many), the audio WILL NOT WORK. I have confirmed this with Polaroid customer service 1-800-226-6534. They did not secure licensing agreements with third party entities. Therefore, if you plan to process cube video's for uploading to TH-cam, etc, prepare yourself for extreme frustration. A work around is to convert to another format with a conversion program, which is time consuming.
+Raqeeb Chang depends on your software I guess. For me, it won't work at all in Cyberlink Power Director 14. I have to convert it with a software conversion program so I can import it. So, it's a time consuming work around.
4 yrs later still using this little Polaroid Cube. You can still pick up NOS occasionally under $50. Definitely a great pocket camera to have handy for those moments you don’t want a phone in Karen’s face!
Hiyaa! Thanks for uploading such an amazing review .... now I'm certain i want to get!! I just wanted to know where i could get the accessories especially the monkey stand??? Thankss again!!
Only one thing i didnt figure out yet on this camera: how do i rotate the screen on the app while filming on a different angle? (lets say the camera is stuck on a pole from its side) on the computer i can rotate the video but while filming it will show it up side down or sideways.... help!!!
Could you help me with a question ? I have a iphone 5 and polaroid cube pluss , but I get the option to record video in 1440 , I just appear until 1080 , you know why?
I just got this for Christmas, and I'm wondering if you can use this without your phone? I tried and could only turn it off and on... I want to take videos without my phone controlling it. How do I do that?
You can't controll your cube if you're connected to the app. 1 click is to take a picture and 2 clicks is to start a video. If it still doesn't work go check the user guide on polaroidcube.com
Hello Friend! I have a question.. You can record video and upload the camera with an external battery at the same time? I would appreciate your answer! : D
The camera is a wifi device and the app just tells you your camera isn't connected. So no, the app doesn't work without the camera in wifi and connected.
I have had my Cube + for about a year - wasn't happy with the app. But latest software updates - yes, you can now remotely control taking a photo or start a recording.
Check out the RunCam2 with same specs and quality picture but cheaper, flat with wifi. Great for FPV drone flying. I use it all the time and have been surprised at the quality. There is also a firmware update on their site which you can download on to you cameras SD card on their site which will load when you turn the RunCam2 back on. Worth every penny so far.
Holy heck that's crazy distortion. Had to close my eyes for a few minutes, and there was only a few seconds of footage. This is better served as a paper weight.

Review of this nifty Polaroid Cube + action camera!
+Karl Conrad Besides TH-cam What Do You Do For A Living? :D
+Karl Conrad 1440p at 30 fps or 1080p at 60 fps??

+Jojo Jo if you connect it to your computer you can change it settings with an app!
+Almostbauws Even with the cube? don't have the plus.
I love it. I was contemplating spending much more than this but I'm super impressed by the quality and size.
is it just me that it hurts my eyes because of the effect on the corners
Right??
Nice job man! So close to 100,000 subs!
Can you put on a waterproof case ? Like a go pro
yes you can!
I ordered mine coming tomo with a after proof case I can't wait :)
Yeah bit you have to bit it seperatly
xPhaxz What? you have to bit to bit it? What does that even mean?
+Almostbauws yeah but you have to buy it separately. Typos everywhere lol
Awesome video Karl. I'm definitely going to get one this weekend.
cant wait to get mine. Came for this review and Ive subscribed
Best review on the cube that I've seen. Thanks so much!
*Do you recommend this for vlogging*
As per the 1 1/2 battery life. Can't you just leave it plugged in while charging for longer usage? Or will that damage the battery?
Same question
Why did you delete the ps4 video
Great video!
Can you take photos and start/stop recording video right from the app?
yes
What happened with the unboxing of the PS4 Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Bundle?
Hi, nice review. One question, would this work with Instagram/Facebook live videos? Have you tried?
Where did you purchase your handle mount from? The orange thing
Very awesome, i enjoy the video quality a lot!!! Keep it up
Can you charge it with a portable charger and use it while it's charging?? Great video!
Yes, that's possible.
where did you get the orange stick??
Very similar to the GoPro Session in terms of size and form factors!
Great video Karl ;D
+MrTechQc the Cube is smaller than the session by a good mm. but the cube + is heavier by a few grams 3 to be exact
***** okok good to know! ;)
also its outer case of the session does not fit all monopole mounts. the hero 4 does Lol so things did change. yes good to know.
polaroid is suing gopro
yes due to certain thing not fully
Where can I get that orange stick you have at 2:59 with the tripod mount
Dustin Nguyen i also want to know
Hi Karl, what is the brand of the orange stick you used with the Cube+? Thanks.
Could you do a comparison of it with the go pro
great review, I love the camera, however I have some issues the wifi is a great feature but connectivity if ur on the go is a pain. in order to view remotely I have to first hold the button dow to enable wifi, then I have to go to my phone settings locate the cube network, connect to it, then close settings open the cube app and then i can utilize the wifi, wish it was more like blutooth and connected automatically when turned on

+WASRT is it just audio? or is it generally a pain in the ass to edit
+Raqeeb Chang depends on your software I guess. For me, it won't work at all in Cyberlink Power Director 14. I have to convert it with a software conversion program so I can import it. So, it's a time consuming work around.
that the music played 03:35 ?
Where did you get your orange tripod mount?
Should I get a GoPro 4 or Polaroid cube +
where are the comparison and buying links at?
Karl you forgot to put the links to buy the Cube+ in the description box...
4 yrs later still using this little Polaroid Cube. You can still pick up NOS occasionally under $50. Definitely a great pocket camera to have handy for those moments you don’t want a phone in Karen’s face!
Can you put a mic through the charging port?
Is this a good camera to record concerts? Will the sound look good or awfully distorted?
what is the tripod stand that you use!, pls link or show where you can buy it!
There are no supporting links, only your social media links twice!?!
also what is your main camera name?
is the triod mount good enough for filming skiing videos. like going over large jumps and doing fast spining tricks while it's mounted on my head??
Can you snap the picture with the app and make it record with the app on iPhone? I'm getting mine pretty soon.
@karlconrad where did you get the hand held tripod? link please.
You look like Jeff from 13 reasons why lmfao
Angel Otero OMG IKR
Hey that's what I said awhile back in one of his reviews!
Great review, I would probably go for the Gopro
Is there a provision for mounting like a gopro to motorcycle handlebars?
I guess there's no audio on this camera.
Can this also be a facecam recorder?
nice review Karl, the wide angle really distorts the video though :/
Ive seen other reviews and the audio quality was horrible. Is there any external mics you can use for the cube?
Will it stop flashing when is fully charged?
is there any action cam that can be used while charging ?
The polaroid can!
+A-aron thnx
Hiyaa! Thanks for uploading such an amazing review .... now I'm certain i want to get!!
I just wanted to know where i could get the accessories especially the monkey stand???
Thankss again!!
hey, what was that grip?
Only one thing i didnt figure out yet on this camera:
how do i rotate the screen on the app while filming on a different angle? (lets say the camera is stuck on a pole from its side)
on the computer i can rotate the video but while filming it will show it up side down or sideways.... help!!!
takes good footage.
Can you charge this while taking a video ?
Nicea. Just got mine for my quadcopter
Can I turn it on with my iPhone?
Could you help me with a question ? I have a iphone 5 and polaroid cube pluss , but I get the option to record video in 1440 , I just appear until 1080 , you know why?
I sure wish it had quick record like gopro. too many button presses to turn it on and record video IMHO.
I just got this for Christmas, and I'm wondering if you can use this without your phone? I tried and could only turn it off and on... I want to take videos without my phone controlling it. How do I do that?
Turn it on and to start recording double press the button and it will start recording. If it doesnt u need to buy a micro SD
You can't controll your cube if you're connected to the app. 1 click is to take a picture and 2 clicks is to start a video. If it still doesn't work go check the user guide on polaroidcube.com
+chalet bolton-est ah okay thank you so much!!
where do u get this ?
can u post a link to buy it please or mail me
on amazon. you search polaroid cube plus.
where can i buy this tripod ?
can it be used as a webcam through usb?
No.
Hello Friend! I have a question.. You can record video and upload the camera with an external battery at the same time? I would appreciate your answer! : D
Yes you can!
+Almostbauws And Polaroid heated?
I was wondering what the sound's like. pity you didnt show
Cube ? Or Cube plus????
I like that cube plus ..and I like the review. ....☆☆☆☆☆
does the app work without wifi?
The camera is a wifi device and the app just tells you your camera isn't connected. So no, the app doesn't work without the camera in wifi and connected.
you look so nice on all your videos
the best thing about this camera except the monkey stand is that you can buy the water resistant case and use it underwater
can we do live video streaming via this
nope
How can I turn it off?
60 FPS ? or just 30
Mine keeps dropping WiFi connection on my phone (Samsung) Any ideals why and how it can be fixed? Thanks
Hope you see this- I had the same problem but it seems to be corrected with the latest software update.
whats the audio like?
+James Reilly not great
I thought you were the singer of Neon Trees hahaha
What's the name of the song plz?
The devil's tears (Sam Feldt edit) On June feat. Tesity
It's not too bad, but it is not really an action camera if you can't take it with you while being active (like water)
you can put a case on like a gopro, and then it is good to go up to 10 m.
Someone help me when I move mine the vid freezes it’s weird
you forgot the most important question of all...
"Can you remotely control the cube through the phone to ... shot a photo? or start recording"
I have had my Cube + for about a year - wasn't happy with the app. But latest software updates - yes, you can now remotely control taking a photo or start a recording.
so it's pretty fish eye lensy?
it is so you can capture more of the action. Gopro looks even more fish lensi.
hmm why is only gopro capable of creating a decent small actioncam?
gopro doesn't even have image stabilisation. Get on polaroid's level!
+Almostbauws yeah i rather dont have IS than this shit. that lens is shaking in the glass look how the picture gets distorted. GoPro all the way
Git 2 . check it out
Check out the RunCam2 with same specs and quality picture but cheaper, flat with wifi. Great for FPV drone flying. I use it all the time and have been surprised at the quality. There is also a firmware update on their site which you can download on to you cameras SD card on their site which will load when you turn the RunCam2 back on. Worth every penny so far.
Hey Karl
awesome!
Okay, so how's the audio?
My friend has that exact one but he gave it to me
It's good but gopro quality is a lot better
nope
+Almostbauws it doesn't have image stabilisation.
+Denzel Garcia go pros have softer/fuzzier images then the cube and the cube is lot more bright [maybe a little to bright] both great cameras
Agreed, this shit has a lot of tearing and the compression is terrible. Feel sorry for the ppl who have to use this.
I think so I got that fixed this is the go pro hero 4 cube
Can someone please name the song :) thank u
Nice quality Wish it has OIS though
gopro doesn't have any, so...
No wonder GoPro stocks are going down~
Holy heck that's crazy distortion. Had to close my eyes for a few minutes, and there was only a few seconds of footage. This is better served as a paper weight.

This usually happens you need to fix that while editing ;)
It can only record up to around 5 minutes. Can't change it just collage the videos
Omg I saw Legend of Zelda posters in the back
thumbs up.nice video.
amazing
Didn t know that Cristiano ronaldo had a youtube channel
GoPro stole the Cube from Polaroid
If you do the research, you see it's obvious. 🤔 The real problem is they make more profit because they had more time to improve the quality on the GoPro.
kaise gaa
camera quality looks pretty meh...but its definitely good for the price
Soo handsome 😍
Nice
