Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • This was a whim of a purchase because the price was nice and I'd been wanting to tinker with an action cam without spending a ton of money
  • There's a ton to enjoy about this camera- the pricing, the discrete, comfortable to hold size and design, the wide angle lens, the screen, the menus, the fact that there are three buttons, etc
  • Has great features, good video quality, and reasonable price
  • Recommend if you need multiple cameras as the price is great and it fits better in some spots than a GoPro.

Reviews around action (5.00 of 5)

  •  The "waterproof" housing for this camera ruins what would otherwise be an excellent action camera
  • I would say GoPro is still the superior camera of this type and remains the gold standard for ultra-portable action filmmaking.
  • Bought this camera and wifi doesnt work but video quality is one of the best action cam i ever use

Reviews around image (4.16 of 5)

  • I intend to record my daughter's daily active, but sometime the image is not so clear since there is no screen on this machine.
  • The picture quality is great & the most important feature for me was good image stabilization.

Reviews around video (3.95 of 5)

  • Has great features, good video quality, and reasonable price
  • He even said my video looked the best out of all of them (and he owns the Hero3)
  • Wish it had LESS megapixels so that the video would be less grainy and work better in low light situations
  • Image stabilization is very good, almost to the point where it's too aggressive, but it's better than having a shaky video
  • I only have 2 issues with this camera.1, the underwater case that it comes with has fogged up a couple of times and ruined my videos
  • Read remaining 16 reviews for video

Reviews around mount (3.61 of 5)

  • My husband died on his motorcycle when someone made an illegal u-turn in front of him
  • So get the appropriate mounting device

  • Don't blame the unsteadiness of the video on the camera as I was not using a proper mount
