   It does what I want it to do and does not cost as much as the over-advertised competition (you know which one I mean, starts with G-O & ends with P*R*O). This camera records quality videos with lots of options and fits in much tighter spaces then my Canon pocket camera. Some people go for brand names while others just want something to work as advertised & not cost $$$s.

   I use the waterproof case with the slotted back because I want to record audio as well as video. I believe that with the solid back the audio would be muffled since its sealed. Now with the slotted back, I removed the gasket because it obviously can’t be waterproof. It is now easier to close & still holds the camera securely. Also, if you attach a strap to the slotted back, the screen is not entirely visible but that’s what the app is for.

   The other camera holder supplied is not bad but it covers the LEDs on the left side so you cannot see them. Although when using the app, you do not need to see the LEDs or the screen as the app is showing you all the info. While using the app the camera screen goes blank to save battery power & everything is controlled from the app, which is easy to use.

   There are three LEDs on the camera to tell you what’s going on;
   _Blue LED on the left side flashes when recording, solid when not recording.
   _Red LED on the side just above the blue one suggests external USB is connected (either for charging the internal battery, connected to a PC, or externally powered)
   _Red LED on top near the “OK” button is for wifi connectivity (flashing when trying to connect & solid when connected to the app)

   After the app is downloaded, you do not need to have a wifi signal from the web to use this app with the camera. The wifi signal is just between the camera & your phone. I installed the app on an old android phone so that my personal phone won’t get dirty or damaged during the recordings & then deleted all unnecessary apps including google stuff. The app works just fine on that phone with “airplane mode” activated.

   One more thing, when the battery is removed, the camera loses the clock/calendar settings even if it only takes you 5 seconds to swap batteries. So you’ll need to reset those at every battery swap if you plan on using the date stamp in your photos or videos. In my experience, the internal batteries last about an hour, so I plan on using an external battery source to power this camera from the android connection in the future. This means I’ll need to cut the waterproof case to have access to that connection or just use the other camera mount.

   I have tried using the included remote but it has limited functionality, so I prefer to use the app for my purposes & I do not see myself using the remote.

   So far I am happy with this little camera & might buy another one while they’re still available.

   This is the best camera that isn’t as expensive as a gopro yet better in all avenues than el cheapo Chinese cameras from aliexpress. I used this for airsoft and I did a little bit of research on cameras at this price range because I wanted something that was better than what my friends got from aliexpress and I wasn’t going out of my way to buy an expensive gopro.

   Build Quality: Feels light and is built primarily with plastic and has a textured groove on the bottom of the camera. The buttons on it feel like buttons and don’t feel mushy or crap. The waterproof case that comes with it is nifty as well. I cannot say it’s durability or ability to block out water/ protect it from objects. Doesn’t feel cheap or not refined. The only knock is that the waterproof case’s button for record is a mushy thing so I can’t tell sometimes if i’m recording or not, and this has caused me to accidentally not record certain moments.

   Photo/Video Quality: It’s pretty good especially with the image stabilization when I was running around with it for airsoft. The only other 4k option (or above) is the gopro, so that definitely gives this camera an edge when it comes to recording or taking photos. I did not use the 4k option that much because it took a lot of storage and battery life. It could only record 4k at 30fps, and I wanted to have 60fps when recording. I’m not really a sap when it comes to quality of recordings or photos. It could look way better on a higher resolution but you have to wonder is it really worth it vs more battery life or storage to record more.

   Battery Life/Memory Storage: This is the reason I can’t give it a perfect score, but yet can’t give it a bad score. It’s not necessarily bad for storage and battery life. I recommend buying extra aftermarket batteries. Those batteries come with a charger and also have more battery than these. The batteries that are included can go up to 90 minutes on 720p 60fps. This could be a decent amount for a lot of people, but not enough for me playing airsoft. There is a limit on storage which is a bruh,but it is a good amount if you buy the recommended amount that is. It makes second guess if it’s worth recording over 1080p at times.

   Price: This was the best priced for function mid tier camera. It’s a bit more expensive now, but I originally got it at a cheaper price and a few percent off for a coupon. It’s still at a great price for the benefits of what it has compared to other cameras. However, now since the price is a little higher, you could justify getting other cameras due to the ability to have 4k, better support, and an established reputation.

   UI interface/buttons and app: I wouldn’t say the app to use for it and the interface on the camera to be hard, but it’s different. It is different but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t simple. It is simple in layout but how you go around and get places is a bit weird. Nothing to knock it or anything but I spend a lot of time missing something or pressing the wrong buttons.

   I do not have any photos because all of my footage is recorded and taking a few screenshots of it does not truly paint the image of what the quality is like. I also recorded in 720p 60 fps which doesn’t show the true capability of the camera. All in all, i’m very happy with my purchase.
