Reviews around action (5.00 of 5)

  • good, tiny action camera with live view remote, makes good video (be aware of fish eye effect, you can remove it with 3rd party software)
  • This is a really nice action cam that is designed to compete with the GoPro Hero series
  • Best action cam on the market, love the remote control viewer watch band display
  • Just received this neat little action cam and it is replacing my larger non-wireless HDR-AS10.
  • Although this is not the perfect camcorder, it is the perfect action cam: the size, options, and quality speak for themselves.

Reviews around app (5.00 of 5)

  • Once the paring is completed, The Live View Remote (RM-LVR2V ) can now be used for setting various shooting modes, setting chime ON/OFF, settings are also controllable using PlayMemories Mobile app available on Google Play for Android if you like to control your Sony AZ1VR remotely
  • Then just use the FREE smartphone APP (PlayMemories Mobile) to adjust the AZ1 camera settings.
  • You can also copy videos from camera to PC manually from the camera's file system (like an external drive) as well as through native import or apps currently available through Windows 8 or OS X.
  • I found that PlayMemories Mobile app works great for setting and controlling the Sony AZ1VR, It also allows you to view photos and videos wirelessly
  • You can also copy videos from camera to PC manually from the camera's file system (like an external drive) as well as through native import or apps currently available through Windows 8 or OS X.

Reviews around phone (5.00 of 5)

  • I guess now that so much on smart phones works seamlessly, having to mess around with cables seems antiquated.- Battery
  • Otherwise your smart phone can do it all for you, except the GPS part
  • Very easy to set up with my Android smart phone, great stabilization
  • If Sony has phone technical support listed anywhere, I'll bet even the CIA would have a hard time finding it.
  • *Read Other Thoughts**-Absolutely needs a smart phone or Live View Remote to access different functions unlike the AS100vOther Thoughts:Although it's advertised as a smaller version of the AS100v, this should technically have the same features

Reviews around image (4.49 of 5)

  • So the ActionCam is now my go to POV camera, it has a great image, but it works when it matters.
  • The action cam mini is lighter, has crisper image, more saturated colors, and better low light funtionality
  • On the plus side, the camera is small and light, splash spoof, has decent image stabilization, and comes with a live view remote
  • Also the quality is not high enough to get a good image of a license plate from the vantage point of a bicycle.
  • But, given the nature of the case, the image would be blurry

Reviews around size (4.40 of 5)

  • The size is great but the image quality is probably surpassed by your phone (at least my iPhone 6 video looks better)
  • The tiny size can be annoying at times as I constantly found myself accidentally pressing buttons whenever I attempted to open the charging port or even when hand-filming unless I held the camera between two fingers.
  • Pros:-Extremely Compact Size/Weight-Redesigned Live View Remote aka RM-
  • It is the perfect size to easily tote around an amusement park or other place you'd like to record without feeling like overkill.
  • The first time you hold this action camera in your hands it's hard not to be impressed with it's compact size

Reviews around feature (4.13 of 5)

  • Great picture quality, love the image stabilization feature, makes walking very smooth.
  • Actually, it's amazing, and this is its strongest feature compared to the GoPro
  • The only missing feature is the live view.
  • Sony must realize they can't sell the "NEW" GPS remotes, because the MAIN feature of this remote (GPS) doesn't work!!I am assuming they needed to get the AZ1 cameras on the selves before Christmas and they would worry the GPS BUG later!!I guess SONY can't sell
  • You can also copy videos from camera to PC manually from the camera's file system (like an external drive) as well as through native import or apps currently available through Windows 8 or OS X.

Reviews around sony (3.75 of 5)

  • If you want to record in XAVC S mode, Sony recommends an SDXC card faster than class 10
  • My Sony VAIO and Handicam worked flawlessly for years; after two months of hard use this action cam lives up to its predecessors in quality, durability, and results
  • , we're still working on it"!!The GPS bug is NOT affecting the other Sony (AS100/AS20/AS30) action cams with the GPS inside the cameras
  • When connecting the Live View Remote, hold the WiFi button down to pair... or use the very friendly Sony Play Memories phone app.3
  • Sony must realize they can't sell the "NEW" GPS remotes, because the MAIN feature of this remote (GPS) doesn't work!!I am assuming they needed to get the AZ1 cameras on the selves before Christmas and they would worry the GPS BUG later!!I guess SONY can't sell

Reviews around video (3.70 of 5)

  • Modes (Photo, Video, Time lapse) can't be changed or confirmed on the camera itself- GPS is built into the remote not the camera
  • My only other complaint is that the video becomes very grainy in low light situations
  • The gopro takes excellent quality video, but the software is constantly causing issues.
  • (GoPro are really dangerous for that)- Good video quality in all modes, slightly worse than the GoPro 3 Black and 4 Black, but better than GoPros 3, 4 silvers and white
  • The video looks great, and the audio is pretty impressive too
