This is a 4k action camera for only $80 a lot cheaper than his competitors like
the hero 5 but besides just looking good even thumbs pretty well let's dig in a
little deeper the start with an unboxing the packaging itself looks pretty decent
for a budget camera in fact it's very rare to find items currently from China
with the solid packaging but besides that we got all the written specs so
it's a 20 megapixel Sony sensor for image quality it can go all the way down
to 3 megapixels or max out at 20 megapixels for video it clips to be
ultra HD 2880 by 2160 maxed out and that's basically it for major specs it
also has Wi-Fi capabilities for Android and iOS and a white angle lens and just
so you know I will link this exact model to Amazon down in the description box
but yeah let's start with the unboxing removing the paper sleeve will find the
cardboard box and again everything looks pretty solid in terms of packaging so I
really hope is the same for the camera quality as well but here's the camera
cell with the waterproof case pretty similar to the hero 4 in terms of design
with some little tweaks and just like the GoPro the plastic case is waterproof
up to 30 meters underwater so that should be more than enough and I'm gonna
come back to this in a paper let's see what else we got in the box so opening
up the bigger box we have a bunch of accessories for most part it should have
all the basic accessories so you can modify and you can use it however you
like going to the other box we have the charging wire cleaning cloth 3m tape and
all that and lastly a user manual which is quite useful in fact it covers
features you won't find otherwise and it's for different languages and
that's about it for the unboxing so back to the action camera removing the
waterproof casing here is the camera itself we have a plastic front and a
rubberized finish through the chassis on the left hand side we have the enter
button menu and the power button so you can just hold the power button to turn
it on on the right we got the TF card slot which supports up to 64gb all with
HD out power input for charging and transferring data those shutters on the
top and on the bottom we got the tripe and the battery slot and it slides right
out and you can just pull the battery from this point it's a twelve hundred
million battery which is three point eight wards and I forgot to mention we
actually got two of these in the box so that's pretty good
the screen itself is also touchscreen so switching between modes can be done
right from the display and from here you can control things like resolution audio
on and off motion detect and all that this area if the camera is also touch
sensitive so you can use this to bring the menu out switch around all the
settings and it's just a second way of doing things but anyways I'm gonna take
the camera outside and here's how it looks
keep in mind all sample footages are taken at highest resolution possible
down scale to 1080p but let me tell you to call it a difference in the 4k file
and the 1080p file isn't a lot but still I will have some sample footage you can
download and try yourself a sample in the description box down below and I'm
moving on to audio this is how it sounds alright guys this is a DB power action
cam recording in the highest resolution possible so far what they called 4k
isn't quite there in my opinion our concern is somewhere around 1080p
1440 of scale - Ultra HD which is still a bad considering it's only $80 the
camera also has some hard time recording we're facing direct sunlight there's a
lot of glare if the lens faces the Sun directly so that's something you
probably want to keep in mind well other than that you can't expect
the same quality and the same level of details you would from a 4k DSLR or a 4k
smartphone just because the wide-angle lens takes a lot of the sharpness and a
lot of that detail away and kind of destroys the image but I guess that's
just what you get with the wide-angle lens
all right guys back inside so has I said the quality isn't quite there at 4k but
it's expected when using a wide-angle lens I mean the saturation seems to be a
little neutral I've noticed some things were a little more vibrant and a little
more colorful but that didn't show that well on the camera so even a little bit
of color correction and even some color grading would be nice to me the pictures
look even better the same goes for pictures a little sharpness some color
correction and some color grading will make the pictures look a lot better but
if you just want to see what the quality looks like coming straight out of the
camera again I'll have the double links to some sample footage is in the
description box down below so wrapping things up I'll let you guys decide if
the camera is right for you I guess it all just comes down to your budget
and your preference if you like you can go for a hero 3 for about $100 used or
you can go for something like this brand-new for only $80 but yeah let me
