At £38 it is a great value from the usual price of £112.This is the fourth camera I've bought, and this supersedes the other cameras, where one was very grainy and the other one had malfunctions in recording or continued to record, or files were missing when I wanted to transfer to the laptop or it would not connect to the Microsoft laptop. Did you divide the reasons?I was very disappointed with the cameras I had bought in the past, which were far more expensive than this one, being up to £150.My aim was for a simple camera to use as a body camera to put on a chest strap as a pedestrian to capture any incidents of any situation, from cyclists to even cars, when I'm crossing a zebra crossing for my own safety and security. I was very happy that this item came with two large size 1350 batteries, and you charge them in the camera, which is better, actually, than having the dual separate charger, which will reduce the capacity and life of both of the batteries.The picture quality is absolutely fantastic inside and outside, and I will hopefully later upload some videos. The size is very small and compact and ever so light you may forget it's in your hand. I used it and tested it at a home last week for about half an hour, and it was still on four battery charges.I am seeing the picture at 1080p with 60 frames a second, which is what I'm planning to use it for, which is perfectly adequate; it will last for up to three hours with a full battery charge, which both of them came as fully charged, both batteries?The item comes with so many accessories, which is absolutely amazing. It even comes with a dustproof cover for the waterproof, which I will use inside, so it makes it more rugged in case it drops or falls down, and with the dustproof camera, the internal microphone is absolutely adequate. I've tested it; I would be standing three metres away, talking at a normal conversation volume, and it will pick up my volume of the audio clearly.Even if I'm standing 2 metres away from someone with a tap running, the tap flow of the water hitting the water basin I can capture with the internal microphone inside the waterproof case with the dust cover on.There are over 2 dozen YouTube videos on this product, at least, that I have seen, and they will give you nice different perspectives on the quality of the video and their unboxing and how to use the features, which will help as a complement to the nice manual which explains everything in crystal clear, simple English, as it is an American product.I'm very impressed with the product, and I'm also super impressed with the seller, who was very prompt and detailed in explaining my questions in regard to how long it will take to charge the battery, being two to three hours, and I would know by the indicating colour change.If you have any queries, you're more than happy to contact the seller, who is a very down-to-earth, jolly, and very proactive, helpful person.Summary- dual screen (only on high-end action cameras)- 2 large 1350 mAh batteries – I tested one lasting over 2 hours- microUSB to charge and connect to a Windows laptop- very fast file transfer- records 15-minute videos- Slow motion and time lapse features (a rarity to find in budget action cameras)- full accessories including a dust cover to waterproof a robust case- Very lightweight camera as light as a feature yet made of good quality material.- Super after-sales from the seller.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4K on a budget

So didnt expect much from this camera for the price, i was looking for a 4K camera mainly for doing Time lapses that i could leave out in all weather conditions, It does not fail. OK so the battery life is OK could do with an upgrade to better run time but you get 2 of them so that helps as long as you rmember to charge both before setting out.menu is good to navigate with no problems. changing settings is not a pain like some cameras out there.picture quality is very good, to be honest I did not expect it to be this good.i get crisp vivid images from this camera be it time lapse or raw recording it produces for my needs.The wide angle lens is also good and there seems to be no warping to edges of images and no strange fog effect that some other wide angle cameras ive tried produce.comes with a ton of extras half of which i will never use but there included as part of the package so you get a shed load for a good price.The waterproof case does iots job and in the recent heavy rains has not let a drop in.Overall im happy with this camera and would recommend it for sure. Looking forward to seeing how it copes if we get some freezing temps come winter and really but the battery life to test.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good and versitile camera for its size and price.

This camera is excellent for those spontaneous moments as its small enough to fit in your pocket or bag. The quality is very good for its price and so overall I'm very pleased with it. The accessories supplied are very useful .The only additional item I would like to see in the box is a small case for the camera itself.Update 28/11 ... I have returned the camera to Bolo as I found the remote was missing. I also discovered that the two side function buttons were loose and rattled when the camera was constantly in movement (Running). This noise was picked up by the microphone and so was heard on the video playback. I still feel that the camera is an 'OK' product for the price but sadly not for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Image stabilisation great, video and sound quality awful!

M.S. · 8 June 2024

Video quality on this camera is not the 4k it promised at all, it's not even HD quality - despite using the 4k recording settings. It is really awful and suffers from Chromatic aberration and has made the footage really purple. The footage has recorded jerky, glitchy and completely unusable. Maybe we had a dodgy one?The image stabilisation is great though and really stood up to our testing, we were really impressed by that, a lot of these camera struggle with it making it look wavey/underwater, but this feature was good.It said it had 6 hours ish of recording on a 128GB which is enough for what we need, though the battery only lasted about 2 hours, and charges very slowly.The attachments are all a bit cheap, but they're workable, the cable ties provided were very thin and not particularly useful, but it came with so many attachments I can't imagine it misses anything out.All in all, I'm disappointed with this camera, the minimum I'd expect is for it to be 4k as it said in the description - better to save your time & get a better quality camera if that's important to you like it is us.Edit: Sound quality has got really awful. We've used it a handful of times now the microphone is barely recording any sound without hideous interference!!Don't buy, don't waste your money like we did.
