I Purchased this camera because i was looking for a small waterproof, rugged camera that could be easily carried while, biking, running, swimming etc. and the camera does exactly what it is designed to do while at a price point that is slightly more competitive than GoPro or some of the other cameras out there.
Setup was fairly simple, although connecting the camera to the app on the phone was hit or miss using wifi (the manufacturer should have provided a bluetooth option instead).
Camera use could not be easier. All you have to do is turn the camera on and with the power button on top and then start taking photos.
Quality of the photos was actually fairly impressive considering this is designed as a POV video camera primarily.
Pros:
- Image quality is fairly good all things considered.
- Waterproof feature built in works amazing.
- Price of Camera was far cheaper than GoPro.
- Camera comes with mounting equipment.
Cons:
- As mentioned above connecting the camera to the phone is somewhat painful and often not worth the hassle.
- The photos have a fish-eye effect, which although a cool feature in some photos makes other photos just look bizarre and unfortunately this can not be turned off because it is the feature of the lens.
- Video stabilization is almost non-existent and running or riding with the camera creates very unsteady images.
If your a thrill seeker and looking to record your adventures then this is probably a good camera for you. If you are looking for a camera for everyday use and that doesn't require the viewer see your point of view then you should probably look for a different camera.

Great camera and is easy to use, just slide the record button forward and it starts recording. Has an external micro SD disk slot. The iON cloud software is horrible, much easier to remove the disk and watch video on your computer. With the iON software you can stream while filming, but I had trouble staying connected. Small cylindrical design, not a bulky square box and the case is waterproof, not needing a outer case for water protection. Light weight and easy to use.

Exactly what I wanted. Great action camera for theme parks and snorkeling. Video quality is great and is easy to turn on at the right moment.
Only negative is that it's too bulky to mount on chest, but all cameras except GoPro will be the same.

The Apple of Action Cameras

After owning the other camera for a while all my edits started with me asking?..."is it on",,,"is it on now?"....dont get me wrong i liked the other camera but when im out jamming around i needed it to be easier to use. The ION Air Pro 2 is just that, ya can tell when its on cuz there is just 1 button and it vibrates when its on and again when its off,,,,simple 1 buton to take still shots that come out awesome btw and then when i forget to turn it off it buzzes me a friendly "peace out"...This is by FAR the easiest to operate of any action camera and after seeing the reviews on the color its very clear the color it more vibrant. ION is the Apple,,,,,the other guys r a PC.....

I bought two of these for my sons for Christmas! They are teens and have a tendency to get a little more attention from our local PD than the normal teens in my town. One officer in particular so hopefully this will help all of us out! They love them and so do I! The picture quality and sound is amazing! You can use the USB cable with a generic USB port charger for vehicle cigarette lighters. The run time is good but wish it was longer for uninterrupted long trips (>2 hours) depending on the record settings that you choose. You can always keep a spare microSD card handy to solve this issue though. It's also versatile! Use it as it was designed for such as action cam for ATVing, hunting, sports activities, etc. You also need to purchase extra the suction cup mount to use in your vehicle if you plan to use it as a Dashcam.

Excellent camera for a beginner. Shoots 30 and 60 fps...which does not allow for good slow motion shots. I'd wait until you can get the Air Pro 3...which shoots 120 fps. Otherwise, a great product with awesome WiFi capabilities.

We bought this camera to record our RC adventures. It is easy to get started with. Love that is has it's own wi-fi so that we can share our videos while on the go. Works much better than the go pro for what we use it for.

For the price I paid (in store $125) probably the best action camera on the market today. I did a lot of research before deciding on the iOn air pro 2, I watched a lot of reviews on YouTube and compared it to a friends gopro hero 3 black. The iOn can definitely hold its own against the almost $400 gopro. Picture quality, build quality are top notch.

Great other than Wi-Fi Feature

The camera works very well and using it without the wi-fi was great. But, because I couldn't get the wi-fi feature to work, I wasn't able to use the features that were built in to the camera. I did call their customer service and, unfortunately, they were not much help at all. I like the camera, but I hope to be able to use all of the functions of it once I replace the Wi-Fi piece - then I will be able to more accurately rate the entire product.

Like the camera so far. Will be keeping it. Good deal at 150 bucks onsale.
get a good mount and have fun with it! To me gopros are over rated as I own a few already. Drift has a few sweet pieces also. For the price tho you will not get a better bang for your buck!

I like it for 150 the only draw back is the poor quality in the mic. You have to use an external mic with this camera or sound will be low and poor in quality. Other than that if you don't care about sound it's a good camera to capture moments

Maybe I just had bad luck with it but there was no phone support and directions on website for updates need updated!
I could not get it to record using the phone app.
I bought a go pro and it worked with ease!!
The great thing is Best Buy has both so go get one or the other!!

Best Action Camera period. Better than Go Pro!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I've had Go Pro's before. The silver and black editions. This Ion Air Pro 2 action camera is much easier to use and has a clearer, sharper video quality than any Go Pro I've owned. I just bought the camera last week. I have compared the video captured this past weekend to my best quality video shot with the Go Pro Black edition. The Air Pro 2 is much better. Before buying a Go Pro, I urge you to view the Go Pro Black vs the Ion Air Pro 1 on youtube. Keep in mind it's the Air Pro 1, not Air Pro 2 edition. The 1st edition of this Ion Air Pro still shoots better quality video than the BEST Go Pro you can buy and for nearly 1/2 the price.
I love the Ion Air Pro 2. The WiFi connection is super fast to my iPad or iPhone. I can take full control of it with my phone to take pictures, start and stop recording and a ton of other features. This is a great camera for the money. Plus it's already water proof. No need for some tacky plastic housing here. Feel them camera in your hand. It's made out of metal. Yeah it weighs 1.5 ounces more than Go Pro but come on, 1.5 ounces. You can't tell the difference holding them in your hand. I couldn't.
The ONLY negative thing I can say about this camera is I wish they would have made the female tripod screw in out of metal instead of plastic. Someone on Youtube shows his stripped out. This is an easy fix for Ion and I'm sure they will make this minor adjustment in the 3rd version. Other than this, I have no issues with the camera at all. Love it.

cam is just out of warranty and pics and vids are so blurry it's unusable now called support and did all the troubleshooting they knew and no luck it wont update the firmware and he couldnt explain why? no scratches on the lens and they offer no support to send it in for repairs after warranty not even for a fee. it worked great for a year and loved it but now I'm out of luck. will never buy another Ion for sure.
