    This was purchased for my daughter who is a teenager to start making her own films - (she comes from a family of filmmakers and is a photographer) She loves the remote - and the app that works with her phone. She loves the underwater capabilities. I have recommended this camera to so many people! Especially people who are not too tech inclined but want to make video - it's so simple and so inexpensive!

    Easy to work with. Better than trying to use my smart phone for recording. I would like to see more ways to mount it.

    Seems to work okay, but has some issues with certain memory cards. All in all a great little camera for the price.

    I would have gave it a 5/5 if it wasn’t for the battery dying so quickly. Besides that it takes good quality videos.

    Most attempts to power on the unit failed. Either it would freeze on the flash start up screen or didn’t turn on anymore. Either way to fix it I had to remove the camera battery. The included remote watch battery was dead. when it was replaced with a spare the remote served the purpose of controlling the cam. As for the WiFi feature that can sync with an available app, it started to drain my fully charged battery down to 20% within 10 mins. The viewable angles of the camera screen was very narrow. So much that looking at the screen 8” away with both eyes had a dark and grey scaled image. Moving the screen back farther away helped, but the image isn’t sharp. I didn’t test the the quality of the actual recordings because I knew that I would be returning it.

    We bought this for our vlogging daughter. She was excited for the GP like look of it. I was excited by the non-GP price. I knew it wouldn't be of GP quality but expected more. The battery life was very very short. We bought the Best Buy associate recommended MicroSD card with it. We ended up returning this product after about a week and a half of trying to use it.

    I bought this cam for my son for his 10th birthday. He is interested in making YouTube videos and this camera is perfect for him. It takes really high quality videos. The functionality takes some time to get used to, but once you get it figured out it is pretty easy to use. We had to return the first one as it was defective. It would only show "snow" (like a channel that is off the air) on the screen. The second one worked perfectly!

    Funky interface, battery lasts about an hour, and the mount does not fit other brand mounts.
