So guys! in my four years of being on YouTube I've reviewed a countless action
cameras from the cheapest ones to the top-of-the-line
usually the cheap action cameras are really bad but this $20.00 action camera
is a little different let's find out why well let's start with a quick unboxing
and before getting started let's clear this out of the way this video is not
sponsored I bought this camera from my own money and I happened to land on
something that's a pretty good deal but back to the packaging the packaging is
fairly simple and pretty cheap if I'll be honest but honestly what matters to
me is the product itself than the packaging also you might notice there's
really no information about the action camera right on the box
so looking just at the box you can't really tell if it can shoot 4k or how
many megapixels it is or anything like that and surprisingly inside the box
there's no user manual or anything with specifications either but inside the box
we got the action camera itself in a waterproof casing just like usual I'm
gonna put this to a side and let's see what else we have in the box so we got a
bunch of bracket mounds cleaning cloth charging cables battery and everything
else on the other side and while honestly just looking at all these
accessories they're probably worth twenty dollars that we've just spent on
this action camera so the action camera is pretty much free whatever we get out
of it is gonna be worth something but I'll tell you for sure this action
camera is a lot better than what you would usually find for twenty dollars
now as I said before beside what we just saw there's not really a user manual or
anything which gives us any information about the action camera or even how to
use it luckily enough these action cameras are
pretty simple to use so back to the action camera let's take it out of the
waterproof casing so on the side we have a tab that we can just pull and that
will open up the waterproof casing and inside is the action camera itself let's
quickly take the plastic off from the front and the back and here is the
action camera so now on the top we got our power button and the mode button on
the right hand side is what seems to be the record button and on the side we
have our up and the down button which we could use to navigate through the menus
going to the left side let's open up this tab and this is where we could
connect the action camera to a computer and this is also where we put in
SD card so pretty basic stuff just like the normal action cameras were used to
seeing and if you open the bottom tab this is where our battery goes so let's
go ahead put in the battery I just charged and turn the action camera on
now scrolling through the menus is pretty straightforward you just press
the power button or the mode button to switch from the 4k video to the 1080p
video and taking pictures and going into the settings in the settings we could
change the video resolution we could change the image size we could do
time-lapse loop recording and we can turn on and off stabilization which
actually does a pretty decent job lens angle we could also play around with
that you could also set a timer we could do burst mode the mic we can
turn that on or off exposure ISO all of these settings can be changed or to your
preference using the menu setting so it gives you pretty good control over what
you want to shoot now I was able to figure out all the specs and let's
quickly get those out of the way and then you will see how this camera
actually performs in real life so it claims to be an 18 megapixel camera
which is able to shoot 4k at 30 frames per second as I said that this plate
quality is somewhat decent it does have a 2 wide-angle lens which is able to
cover almost 160 to 170 degrees the only problem I noticed was a little bit
distortion on the sides but that isn't really a big issue and now rather than
me talking about everything let's actually see how this performs in real
life so here are some sample footage just taken from this action camera so
what are you seeing right now is the 4k rest capture which is downgraded to
1080p for this video I will also leave the product link for this camera which I
bought from Amazon with a pretty heavy discount code now what I've notice is
the price would keep changing it will go from 20 to 50 dollars or even $60 at
some times but every once in a month they do drop the price to almost twenty
or twenty twenty two dollars so you'll get a pretty good deal when you see that
price drop so just make sure you keep your eye out and you can find this
action camera for a pretty good deal so check the link in the description for
that and I will also link some sample footage is from this action camera you
can download and try out yourself these would be 4k videos
the original pictures without any edits so go ahead download them and see if
this camera is any work for you now as I was talking about the building
stabilization I personally think it also does a really good job talking about the
fact that this camera is 4k now that is something I wouldn't truly agree with it
claims the Shu 4k and the picture quality is pretty decent for twenty
dollars but it's not really true 4k it is more likely shooting 1080p or
something a little bit higher and then upscaling that to 4k the picture quality
are also somewhat decent I wasn't really a huge fan of the pictures in general
but I think this camera does a better job in video and for twenty dollars I
couldn't easily recommend something like this even has a dashcam it has a really
good fighter angle lens which is great to capture a big scene and at the same
time it has all the waterproof casing and all the accessories you get which
are a bonus so yeah guys this is what I think about this $20.00 action camera I
think it's pretty good for usually where you can find for twenty dollars let me
know what you think about this camera and if you like this video let me know
