Thanks for your support. Besides, EP7 can be installed on a helmet or tripod to record, connect with PC to live streaming as well. More new usage methods welcome unlocked together.

[@gregtoope]

Thanks for the info!

[@PangetPeroMasarap]

Hey i bought this and i subscribed to your channel~ can u pls tell me what handheld gimbals can i use for this camera since ordro said it can be reattached to other mounters

[@gregtoope]

@@PangetPeroMasarap well they said that it could be mounted on a helmet or tripod. Nothing about a gimbal. but any mirrorless camera style gimbal should be able to work. Just not sure how it would mount and balance.

[@PangetPeroMasarap]

I got my camera today! I just want to ask why it wont record video and said my memory card is full when my memory card is literally blank??😞 photo is okay without problem

[@snipebp]

@@PangetPeroMasarap Make sure you format your memory card before using it even if you haven't used it yet. It should work then.

[@4WheelRC]

ORDRO is excellent to deal with too. I had a few issues with my EP6 and they sent me a replacement very fast. These are a good value if you need an affordable hands-free FPV camera. Great review btw.

[@gregtoope]

Yes I would agree. I’ve had to speak with them via email and they are always fast with their response.

Glad I could help

[@WSS_the_OG]

I really enjoy your reviews. This camera's been on my radar (or is that, in my "view?") for a bit. I want something comfy when I'm filming electronics stuff (mostly take-aparts, so I can get things back together again without a couple of extra screws left over ... ya know how that goes), and this looks like it would have a decent enough resolution to do that job so I can zoom in to see details in the reviewed footage. Thanks for the detailed review, and the video samples.

[@gregtoope]

Glad to help. I use this whenever I need a POV camera. Still works great.

[@TheSWADE247]

I need something for filming my window tinting videos and I hate the bulky GoPros and head mounts. This would work perfectly.

[@daniel31279]

where can i get the headband alone

[@gregtoope]

contact Ordro and see if you can get one.

[@ant9969]

You can still make use of your EP5, just put the tiniest blob of superglue offset from/near where the touch sensitive button is, just so you have something physical near the actual touch sensitive area is for reference. Just a compromise/suggestion/workaround.

[@TruthSeekerzz]

I use a tiny piece of stick on velcro.

[@basementformula]

Can it stream?

[@TheGourmetCampers]

Any view on how it would record concerts or loud music?

[@TheRainHarvester]

User replaceable battery?

I dont believe so.

[@miltongonzalez8726]

You think this will work to film FPV soccer games?

[@gregtoope]

hard to say. id rather have a wider field of view for something like that.

[@MrTr3D]

Can you use this camera to receive an incoming call? My old version can do that, but not sure if the version 7 still can do that. I'll order this cam soon. I want to see how good it is. Thanks for the review.

[@gregtoope]

not that im aware of, but there is supposed to be a EP7 Pro coming out soon.

[@justanotherviewer52]

That's a really neat looking setup. Good quality video and sound and the stabilization worked well. It would be nice if it allowed for mounting on a helmet. Though, I, sure 3M can help out there. Did I miss the link to it? And that Indian looked really nice indeed!

[@gregtoope]

im thinking that it probably can be mounted with a few adapters. It does seem to have a standard tripod style mount. Links should be there. And yes his Indian is very nice!

[@mortiimatii2546]

Hi. Thanx for the review. Had a question since theres not much info on the description of the product when buying it. Can it be used for video streaming trough a smartphone? Like, Discord / Twitch, as a camera input .

The version i have doenst. Not that I'm aware of, but Ordro did say that they were going to have a version available that did. Not sure if its our now or will be.

[@michaelholmes4808]

Looks like a great piece of kit! What sort of battery life did you experience? Is it mountable to say a helmet (motorcycle)? BTW, nice trim!

[@gregtoope]

The longest I recorded for was about 45mins. But I probably could have gotten more. And im sure I could mount it to a helmet with some adapters. But no mic input. But for standard FPV video it definitely is pretty cool.

[@iscander_s]

It have a standard tripod mount (1/4-20 UNC)

[@HCFA]

How much does it last? the battery I'm mean.

[@gregtoope]

same as most action cameras. I get around the hour mark.

Appreciated! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@Gingerbeard]

Thanks for the video! Just curious how this feels with glasses one, since i use glasses.

[@gregtoope]

They would be wearable with glasses, but since the arm of the glasses and the camera would be resting on your ear it becomes wider. But i actually tested wearing my sunglasses and the EP7 yesterday just to see and it was doable. Definitely better without glasses, but it works.

[@Gingerbeard]

@@gregtoope Thanks for the reply! Good to know, since i was considering these but it might not be a good fit for me then :)

[@gregtoope]

@@Gingerbeard hard to say. i really like mine and actually use it a fair bit when doing some videos that require a front-facing FPV style view. I wore it with sunglasses and it wasn't much of an issue. I, without question, prefer it to wearing a GoPro with some kind of mount.

[@jeromesy6614]

Im a dentist, can I use it for close up video recording, like does it focus on the teeth with clarity at a distance of about 1 1/2 foot.

[@BrianSoCalm]

how do you get the wide screen view my camera seems to be upside down and the videos are cut

[@sumantaroy6156]

Thanks for the review. Quick question, is it safe to drive with this to record POV driving videos ? One additional point is that I wear glasses, so wondering if there would be any issues here.

[@TruthSeekerzz]

I dont think it would be an issue. I have done so.

[@mdmconstruction]

I wear hearing aids wonder if it would be an issue

[@IBongosebI]

Hey Greg. Do you know how to make vertical footage with the Ordro fp7? Like for TikTok aso? Is there an combination with the buttons? Thx

[@jesspatel1828]

DOES IT HAVE Dual Microphones for good quality audio? That will pick up most everything the naked ear will hear? Problem with alot of these cameras is the audio thats only good for up to about 10ft.

[@ppeller3]

How is the audio quality? I'm thinking of using it while driving my vette.

[@gregtoope]

actually i think the audio is great, since the mic is really close to your mouth.

Thank you for the quick reply. Great video by the way...

[@TargetBreaker1234]

cool little camera, and kind of what im after - i wonder what the footage would be like if you mounted and used a shotgun for clay shooting for instance?

[@gregtoope]

I think that it would work well. the only thing that i wish was that you could switch sides that you mounted it too. Looks like its always on the right side. Would have been great if you could mount to either. Other than that ive been happy with the quality.

[@tataynigimo3551]

Great review, Sir! May I ask, how is the device's temperature? Does it turn off like the GoPro when it heats up? Also, how is the zoom if there is one. The GoPro has a wide angle that makes shooting videos look far. I would like a camera that has a more magnified view. Thank you and more power!

[@4WheelRC]

Seems the EP Camera's do run hot. My EP6 had issues.. EP6 and EP7 now have firmware updates available and it seems to have helped on both models. They don't shut down now when hot.

[@MrConspark]

Bought this Cam a while ago, great little head Cam but can't get the silly free app to connect to it, for adjusting view angle and setting up things. Good video, beautiful place you live in, Cheers from Tasmania Australia

[@gregtoope]

Thanks for sharing. mine connects ok. But i really dont use the app very much.

[@mikesuch9021]

I still have my contour camera which came out before the GoPro. It does off-road racing on the helmet of a 450 Rider. That was in 2010 it's still working to this day. It has gone through more abuse than all three of my now dead GoPros. They barely get bumped and they're gone.

[@zodiacwin]

Is there a lag in the video when connecting wirelessly with a cell phone? I'm also curious about the video quality in realtime.

[@gregtoope]

video quality in the app is quite good and yes there is a small lag, but thats with all cameras that are transmitting to an app via wifi. Its no worse than any other action camera ive tested.

[@nazifsyazwan]

does it has auto focus function?

[@gregtoope]

pretty sure its like most action cams and has fixed focus

[@airjordanian1989]

Can it sync wirelessly to your phone

[@gregtoope]

yes it uses its own app and from the app you can get a preview of what the camera sees. record, change settings, etc. Also you can wirelessly move photo and video files from the camera to your phone. I use it on an iPhone but i believe there is an android app as well.

Hi, great video! I've been searching and searching for an FPV camera that could work as a solution for an app I'm creating. Is this an IP camera? Im hoping to use the camera to live stream my FPV on a video call using a smartphone , most likely android for the hotspot / wifi and the app of course . I know you have been asked this question several times but I couldn't find a response. Im looking at just a little mini ip camera used for security typically and hoping we can find a way to integrate it but this would be ideal because of the way you can wear it at eyesight level.

Many thanks for both Ordro EP5 & Ordro EP7 reviews - I'm seriously considering making a purchase. Question: If you are speaking face-to-face while wearing and filming, does the EP7 pick up the audio of the person you are speaking to? If so, is it clear enough to be used in a promo video or would a secondary mic be necessary. Thanks again.

[@gregtoope]

It picks up ok, but I would recommend a secondary mic if possible.

[@gregtoope]

Plus it also depends on how far the second person is from the camera. Hopefully not very far at all.

[@timjames3620]

Got it - Love it. Another question, if I may: You mentioned changing frame rate: The video is a little too wide for my tutorials; how do you change the frame rate? I'm not seeing it in the instructions. Is it via the app? I don't have/use a smart phone and so hadn't planned to even activate the app but if I must... Thanks again.
