I keep seeing these really cheap action cameras on Amazon, and I've been really tempted by them, so
I actually picked one up it was like £50 about $60, and so I'm just really curious to see
what you can get for $60, and it's just yeah what the video quality is gonna look like,
I'm not expecting miracles but I'm just really curious to see yeah how– what you get for you $60.
So as I said this particular one is a 4K camera it shoots 4K30 up to 4K30 and it has no image
stabilization so I did get the one that doesn't have image stabilization because I didn't actually
realize that there was another one that had image stabilization, but that's like another £20
so I just wanted to go with the bare minimum what can you get for like the cheapest action camera
that you can find on Amazon and so yeah 4K30 and shoots 20 megapixel photos and it also has
3.5 millimeter jack on the camera which means that you can attach an external microphone. It will be
interesting to see what it looks like when there's not really bright sunlight and it's sunset so
also this is the audio that's coming straight from the camera, I'm also going to stop walking because
there's no image stabilization so footage is just gonna be really shaky, so I'll just
stand still but this is the audio that's coming straight from the camera microphone and because…
So I completely forgot the lav mic earlier so this is the the audio coming from the
camera again just so you can hear a direct comparison and now this is going to be the audio
from the camera with the lav mic, so the lav mic that came with the camera,
it's also not a 3.5 millimeter jack it's a smaller one.
I went out today on the kayak just to see
what footage I could get with it and so yeah the footage was extremely shaky as you would imagine
it to be on a camera that doesn't have electronic image stabilization.
And from what I could hear the audio straight from the camera didn't sound great,
but really it's a 60 camera so I wasn't expecting miracles I wasn't expecting a lot from it
but - it's quite heavy carrying this one and going for a walk - in terms of the image quality
even though it is pretty rubbish to an extent for $60 it's not too bad and I have to say
that even though this is not a camera that I would use myself it is the kind of camera that I would
get for a child, so my little kid she was enjoying picking it up, using it, using it on the water and
it's pretty much just going to become her camera now because I don't have to worry about getting
her something which is going to be more expensive and her dropping and breaking it or it falling to
the bottom of the lake because it doesn't have a floaty on it because we've forgotten to put
it on or she's taking it off or something so I can totally see a market for these cameras but
for $60 £50 if you want to start vlogging or have a channel a youtube channel or anything like that
I would definitely say it's not good enough for that because
your phone in your pocket is going to be a lot better than the quality that this $60 Apexcam
camera is going to give you, but like I said for a kid perfect as a first camera they can go crazy,
it's really simple to use and yeah they can use it for starting their own camera career.
One thing I did forget to mention though is it comes with a lot of stuff so for $60
£50 you are getting a lot of accessories and like I said you get a microphone as well so
yeah lots of bits of accessories, two batteries, so I'm not sure what the battery life is like
because I wasn't really filming for that long or rather my daughter wasn't filming for that long
but yeah something that we'll see later on down the line.
I'm actually interested in the AKASO
action cameras as well so I might pick one of those up maybe the,
what's it called? Brave 7 or something like that so I want to try another one which is like
the next camera up for people who do actually want to vlog and use it as an action camera for their
travels and stuff like that but actually want to get something that's got decent quality but just
don't want to spend the kind of money that you'd be spending on a GoPro or an Insta360 camera, so
yeah gonna pick one of those up and see what that's like, but I think I might start a new
playlist as well as affordable action cameras, we'll see but anyway hope you found this video
kind of not really useful but maybe entertaining, if so give it a like and see you next time.
