Soooooo, yeaahhhh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The video quality is not bad at all. The app stinks, theres only audio if you pull the video off the camera form you computer. The battery life stinks and theres almost no way to find extra batteries. But all in all its a good replacement on the cheap.

Hey what you pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was the best bang for buck. 4K camera and if I lose it or break it, I’m not hurting my pockets. Doesn’t have the streamline and advance features like GoPro BUT it’s doable. Picture quality in external display is grainy but it works.

Good video, poor audio, good case
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price, used as a 2nd 4K camera angle, but don't rely on it for audio, or a standalone alone for special events. It overheated indoors, and captured no audio track. The case and accestories were good.

Ok if on Sale
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price I got it at ($50) it works fine. Camera has occasionally restarted while in use, but otherwise works fine and is easy enough to use.

Quality wasn’t as great as I thought
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great video camera for people who don’t want to spend a lot of money for the higher end ones. Does shoot in 4K which is great for the price.

Great Camera and picture quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use and plenty of hardware for mounting it. The battery life is nothing to brag about but the price is easy on the wallet and it does exactly what its supposed

Great product for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've used this camera for just over a year now, and I still love it! It records good quality photos and videos. The buttons are fairly easy to navigate through. The remote wristband hasn't worked as well as I figured it would. But I have the app on my phone for remote recording. I use this camera for sporting events and hiking. I would recommend this for anyone looking to save a little money over the more popular action cameras.

Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Id pay the extra to get a go pro just for the battery life but its an okay value action camera. The quality is good but battery life is bad

Save your money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was purchased with reward points. I thought I could use it as a cheaper alternative to another brand. This wasn’t the case. If connected to WiFi battery just drops off and dies within seconds. The side door that hides connections doesn’t stay closed right. Picture quality is good, but next to nothing for stability.

Great price for a good quality camera with accesso
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wouldnt give a go pro to my 4 kids if you paid me. They'd lose it in a second. This on the other hand is 1/6th the cost so I wouldn't be upset if it broke or was lost. I was surprised as to the quality of the video taken by this little thing and have had fun with all the video they made. They never lost it either so back in the drawer til the next adventure. Plenty good enough for the average user , no complaints. Took off a star because the quality is not the best for a camera but really what can you expect for this price

Battery is really bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery only lasts about 15 minutes or less and it takes really long to transfer your videos to your phone. It takes a lot of space on your phone if you don’t have enough storage. The only good thing about this camera is that it has a pretty good quality to the camera. Do not buy for taking videos. I would recommend buying the go pro better.

Good camera, battery drains fast
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good camera, takes good video and snapshots. Video does drain the battery quickly, so 4 instead of 5 stars.

Pretty good alternative
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price of this camera, it's a good buy. Similar features of a Go Pro, but a fraction of the cost. Very easy to use.

It was OK
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this camera as a replacement to one I had purchased three years prior on Amazon. The one from amazon broke so I thought this would be a good replacement as it was almost the same price. As soon as it was take out of the package, it felt light but cheap. Tested the camera but had several issues where it would freeze. Give it a few tries but decided to return it and go with something more high end.

Great for the price, with minor issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, this camera has been really nice. It’s not perfect, the microphone is pretty low and muffled, making most all audio unusable, however the video quality is just fine. It is simple to use, and I haven’t found the battery to be bad at all. I suspect many of the complaints about battery life boil down to using the WiFi and phone app with the camera. But as a stand alone, it works well. Definitely a nice starter or extra action camera

Does the job if youre on budget
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In the daylight it does a very good job. Nice quality, at night its okay. One for the price you cant complain. The only "bad" is battery life. Specialy when wifi is on connected to the phone. I bought it on sale for 70. And i dont give it a 5 because of the battery life. Other than that price is great for the bundle.

DO NOT BUY
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I repeat DO NOT BUY! Even though this camera is on sale for $50, it's for a reason. The quality on this camera is horrible. I was filming with it and it was one of the worst videos I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong, for $50 it came with a decent amount of accessories and it's a camera. I get it. However, you will be very disappointed with how long the battery lasts and how the videos show up when you review them over. There is no way to control the aperture of the lens, nor can you really tell a difference of quality when switching from 720 all the way to 4k. I was reading reviews of this camera and thought, "maybe this is actually a decent camera, plus it's on sale". Just save your money and listen to the reviews. IT IS NOT WORTH IT. I ended up returning it 4 hours later. I had to scrap the video I shot and start over with another camera.
