but heck, its waterproof. This cam is great. I attach it to my sailboat's mast with one of the many attachments it comes with.it records the highs of sounds.
For the money this is a perfect tool for beating the snot out of electronic gear and sill getting a mid level video. The video can be a little Jumpy in Rough activitys and the audio Is ABSOLUTLY worthless in EVERY situation because of the waterproof seal over the mic. You wont get X games quality out of it, But you can clearly see a 300 feet per seccond paintball slam into your buddys head, the spray of snow as you almost land a 25 foot jump and the rise of a 40 foot sand dune in front of you.,,,Totaly worth it. I have mounted this camera on the handle bars of my Four Wheeler, On my Helmet while I Snow Board And on the Gun Barrel while I play Paintball. It's very tough, easy to use and Fun to make movies with.
We think the batteries wore out but we haven't verified that yet. The straps that come with it wouldn't keep it steady enough. He turned it on for a second race and it stopped after just a few minutes. I looked at a several types of these helmet cams online. So it might take a lot of juice. I purchased it as a gift for a dirt bike rider. This seems to be a pretty good one for the price. He used it in an hour and a half race and was pretty happy with the quality of the video, although he had to duct take it on to his helmet.
It could use some different ways to attach it to stuff , but all and all a good camera. This is a good little camera for the money. I use it to record my rides on my ATV.
If you want something better and have a lot of $$$, then go for the vHoldr camera or better. Going from light to extreme dark will take the camera some time to adjust.Cons:- Screen is small and symbols are hard to read/recognize.- Rather bulky but I don't know how it compares with other action cameras- Poor low light capability.
Okay in moderately dark ares like shade from a tree.- Back area where SD card and batteries are does not look very waterproof. Can't use at night or really dark areas.
I've only had the item for 2 days now, and I would agree with some of the other reviews about poor low light capabilities. built in or lithium- Cover on the back is easy to remove and replace.- All accessories come with versus purchasing individually with the vHoldr model- Already in a waterproof enclosure unlike all other similar cameras- Movies are in AVI format versus proprietory format- No quality problems with moderate light transitions.
But what do you expect from a cheap camera.
Video quality is comparable to what you see on Police videos.Pros:- Price (less than half of vHoldr)- AA batteries vs.
