$20 4k Action Cam Review - Is it Worth it? | $20 GoPro | 4K

[@garrettmitchell5657]

No offense, but "The resolution of this camera is so low I can't even read the number plate of the car next to me" , "this could be a good dashcam..." Recording a number plate of a car near you seems like a vital function of a dashcam, no?

I just got this 4K Action Cam. It has similar features to my GoPro Hero 4! Not as solid or heavy as the GoPro and the audio is weak but otherwise works fine for 1/3 of the price! Am also using all the mounting accessories in the bundle for my GoPro, except for the battery, charger and external mic. The 4K Action Cam is an excellent value for the price for the beginner!

[@DeuceBiggerHo]

Do the attachments from your go pro hero fit the cheap action cam?

[@CreativeStarKK]

hi bro.i want best back camera phone stability video recording phone FHD under 20k rs please reply me bro

[@BioFactory1]

The non-wifi version works better but has a short battery life. I have several non-wifi ones, and if you compare them, you notice that quality varies from camera to camera. even down to slight tints to indoors footage. Is the longer lifespan battery compatible to the non-wifi camera?

[@baltsosser]

The waterproof gasket and case after a year of use will warp a bit. so you just need to get another case before the waterproofing goes away. You can add an external microphone attachment for less than $10. In this class of camera you can easily modify it. 950 MaH battery will not last for several hours filming. It will do that only powered in 'stand by' mode. I use a pair of cameras with 1050 MaH batteries and they will record for an hour or so. Apeman, Campark Akaso cameras and dozens of others in the class all use the same battery so that helps when you need to carry multiple cameras and use the same battery.

[@adrian5401]

For $20, the camera and the quality looks great to me, your being much to fussy about this camera.

[@idoevenhaim]

Listen if they told you it's 4k that's not matter how much it cost.. it gotta be better

[@King205]

You should try the eken h9 action cam. It's $50

[@WisGuy4]

Your review is missing a few things in general and more specifically, info that I've seen in other, more comprehensive KZbin electronics channels when they review action cams: 1) The name of the manufacturer and model number. 2) What's the battery life? 3) How are photo stills? 4) Give us an example of the video at 1080p 60fps - it's actually not uncommon for cheap action cams (which do not really have 4k - it's 2k and interpolated to 4k) to do better in 1080p at 60fps than in what they call "4k." 5) How does the Wifi connection and smartphone app work? 6) Do you have a working link? Your three links above go just to the Amazon home page. We can't really do a search for this camera on Amazon since you never identified it.

[@ksmackvolleyball]

I own a camera much like this one, and they are "no-names". There is no manufacturer, no model numbers, nothing on them. My WiFi app works, but I never use it. I seem to get better quality video at 2K, but not at 1080p. The best quality video I got was when I put it underwater. However, this camera actually floats, so it won't go underwater unless to anchor it down with something heavy, or put it on a selfie-stick.

I do thank him for taking the time, it was good info if you knew what to look for. Thx!! (not hating at all!!!)

[@flitsies]

When you buy a cheap camera the thing to look for is MOV H264 video format if it doesn't have this format it's not worth buying the camera, if it claims to have it you will know instantly if it is true the first time you record anything at all on it. There are some very good cheap cameras out there for less than $100 the SJ cams are good value for money they record in MOV H264 and are often around $50 but then to be a little bulky, I have had two of these cameras and I found them very worth spending the money on. They produce good footage in the dark and react to light changes pretty good as well. All this and more for less than $!00 in fact around $50, the only down side to the SJ cams are the batteries, when you change the battery it resets the camera so you have to go through all the settings all over again on the old sj1000 but maybe they have fixed this on the SJ4000. Very good cameras but there are a lot of dodgy copies out there that don't use the MOV H264 even though advertised as doing so, in fact the dodgy copies use WMV which is seriously bad for video recording.

[@HellaBass]

[@urbanbassslayers]

I needed a new hero 3 case, and the store I was at didn't have any. I found one of these on sale, and just use the case with my Hero3. And I got a bunch of mounts along with it. The Naxa sits with the old hero 3 case, it is junk...

[@Adrianlovesmusic]

Did you say free shipping? to America?

[@tonymanzo3766]

I had two of them, on the first one the sd card somehow got past where it plugged in and got lost inside the camera. The few seconds of video I recorded lacked color and contrast, like a sepia toned picture. I returned it to the store, didn’t lose the card but still had that same drab color. I don’t use it now, I spent the bucks for a go pro

[@TheVanderfulLife]

ThePuppyGamer Hall if you're going to be sarcastic towards someone in regards to their English at least understand it yourself first. It would be "an SD card" not "a SD card"...

[@nopparuj]

ThePuppyGamer Hall SD card is important. If it writes too slow the quality will be horrible.

[@theadore100]

yeah that's a good idea

[@Mean-bj8wp]

ThePuppyGamer Hall yes it does if a sd card with less than a 6 write speed is used then the card can't write the data as fast as the camera wants to this causes lag and jerky footage should always use a sd card with 10 write speed

[@5PortStudios]

I have the Eken H9R, and I can verify the video will be not as clear as GoPro. There is a video somewhere on Y-tube where someone did a side-by-side recording comparison of an Eken and a GoPro, and the difference is quite notiecable. GoPros are expensive because of their high quality lenses for the most part. More megapixels mean nothing with a low grade lense. Cheap cameras usually have plastic lenses or those make of cheap glass. You do get what you pay for. If you want real 4K recording quality, buy GoPro or one of it's equal-quality ( and equally high priced) competitors

I have a similar one for around $60. Works just fine and is about the quality of my gopro 3+ silver. Haven't tried the 4k mode yet, but the 1080 30 and 60fps work just fine. So I'd say just read the reviews on amazon and similar sites. I use gopro type cams for secondary angles on my videos and I usually film with 3 or even 4 cameras at a time. If you can have additional angles at a low price it's great. I.e. for car travel shots I usually have one fixed to the wheel well or above my skid plates, one on the inside filming out and one on the inside filming the passengers. For the last one the cheap cameras work great! Mine has a 170 degree angle mounted above the rear view mirror and it gets everyone in the car and even some stuff outside the side windows. Makes great intermittent clips when you have to make fun of a Prius or something.
