This is quite common with action cameras and small lenses, particularly at this price point. Lens flare shows up when the sun is hitting down over the windscreen but was acceptable outside the car for grab shots. This is offset by the quality, of course, which is nicer than 1080p. It’s absolutely reasonable to expect that no other format choices are available in a camera like this, but you’ll likely need to keep 4K/60P recording times down (we were filming for 20 minutes straight per clip).Īt 4K/25p the video isn’t as large and is easier to handle, though still fairly big. Some of this is because the only file format available is H.264 MPEG-4/AVC. The issue was trying to playback the film in an editing application – it required some time to render first. We did have some issues with file size at 4K/60p when filming a long clip. The video quality in 4k is sharper and clearer than anything else, so this is the setting to use.

Settings can also be accessed on the rear screen and its pretty snappy to use.įor our testing, we mostly shot in 4K and 1080p and took some JPEG images.

From here, you have full control over the filming mode, fps, white balance, colours, sharpness, noise control and other settings. Is it any good?Ĭonnecting to the camera is easy, simply holding down a button on the side and selecting the wifi signal on your phone. On the spec side, the image sensor is a Sony IMX386 CMOS, and stabilisation is electronic rather than optical, though the optics are all glass. The wrist band remote work as advertised and feel durable enough – we don’t use these much and the wifi connection to a mobile phone is better anyway. This can be done with a wall plug or via a USB which we could do in a car with the charging port. The two batteries supplied are rechargeable 3.7V lithium-ion packs with 1050mAh capacity at 3.885Wh and charge up in under an hour. We used our great RAM suction cap mounting system from our GoPro and it fits straight onto the Elinz connector system. This is what you’d use when mounting it to your car. What feels rock solid is the waterproof case which comes with the option of an open-air back for better audio recording when you need it as an out-of-water action camera. It’s also bright and crisp, so easy to look at in bright sunlight. The front of the camera is solid, and the rear screen sits flush and neat with the body. The batteries themselves come out easily enough. UPDATE: A revision in the design sees a hinged door that you can’t lose! It’s very lightweight, which can be a great thing, though we found the battery compartment door occasionally fiddly as it isn’t on a hinge. It has electronic image stabilisation, 170-degree camera lens, 2.0-inch IPS screen and connects to a smartphone via wifi. The cameras shoots in a number of formats including 4K/60fps (3840×2160), which is more than enough for most videos, and 4K at 30fps, 25 fps and 24 fps, and 1080p in 120fps (slow motion video) and all the slower rates you would expect (and likely never use). The main components to the package are the camera itself, a waterproof case, two batteries with a USB-powered charger (can be plugged into a wall socket too), wrist remote control and tripod and adapapter plates that fit onto GoPro ones. We actually took some out and found that we’d only take what we need for each shoot as there were too many adaptors and parts. Everything for the camera arrives in one case, which makes for handy portability though there are a lot – and we really mean a lot – of dongles and bits and pieces in there.
