Ricoh WG-M1 Action Camera

[@MihkelFortey4]

This was a very nice review of the product. Thanks. I bought one recently and am excited to try the many features. Overall the menu is easy to navigate and the operation is quick. The screen turns off after recording has started to save battery - which is great. I really love the look and shape of the camera too, I got the orange one (also comes on black).

After going through a few different cameras lately, I've been most happy overall with the Drift Ghost S. It has higher than average functionality, including a rotatable lens, a built in screen for viewing and playback, excellent video quality both during the day and at night, a replaceable battery that lasts over 3 hours, and an external microphone input and other features. It's also waterproof without an external case needing to be added. It comes with a handy remote that makes operating the camera while out on your bike very convenient and easy to do. My only complaint is that it is a bit on the heavy side.

Thanks WBW. Word on the battery life for this camera?

Thanks WBW

[@CoolerMasterStorm]

would this be ok if mounted on an AR-15 ? Will it stand the recoil of guns? Thinking of buying this instead of the overriced action cam...

[@webbikeworld]

+Sam Sung I don't know, I kind of doubt it but maybe one of our viewers knows.

[@EmmaWickman]

Would you recommend this over GoPro? :)

[@webbikeworld]

Yep, that's covered in the full review also.

[@EmmaWickman]

webBikeWorld How come? Since in the review you say that the GoPro quality is by far better? Thank you for taking time answering!

[@webbikeworld]

Emma Wickman The video isn't a review, it supplements the full and detailed review that should be read before buying the camera. The full review may not necessarily agree with this video, because the review was completed after a longer period of time. There are many details to learn about this camera and the full review discusses the pros and cons and compares it to the many other cameras we have reviewed.

is WG M1 have zooming option?

[@007tallguy]

+Francis Ramos nope, no zoom.

[@MihkelFortey4]

It doesn't have a zoom lens but you can select from Wide to Mid to Narrow as digital cropped views. You can still see a bit of the fisheye stretch in the narrow view.

KZbin totally destroys the motorbike video footage. Too much of the picture is changing. I bet the video quality is much better originally.

[@webbikeworld]

+Mikko Haavisto Yes, absolutely true, go to the full review on webBikeWorld (linked in the description) and you can download a raw sample out of the camera.

I'm get this for Christmas from my mum 😍 nice

[@Dirk_Dandy]

Too bad the App doesn't work on Nexus 5

[@webbikeworld]

What version of Android do you have? I can't get a new ReplayXD Prime X to connect with an HTC One running Lollipop.

[@Dirk_Dandy]

5.0.1 ...the app literally says "your device is not compatible with this version.

[@webbikeworld]

Derek Bell That stinks. I wish the ReplayXD Prime X would tell me something, instead the app just dies and I can't connect the camera via wifi to the phone. No error message or anything. To be honest, so far most of the apps aren't too useful anyway. Once you set the parameters in the camera, you don't really need the app (unless you change things frequently) but the app is handy to get a live view and line up the camera.

[@007tallguy]

+Derek Bell the Android app has been updated (finally!) and now works with newer versions. :)

Моя камера не выдержала падения со стола на мелкий гравий присыпанный снегом. Разбилось стекло. В сервисном центре заявили что это не гарантийный случай. Хотя на их сайте заявлено что эта "лучшая в мире экшон камера" выдерживает падение с высоты два метра. Предложили заменить стекло за 5900р. , это половина суммы за которую я её купил. Это не первая моя камера пентакс, но теперь уже точно последняя. Больше в эту контору я денег не принесу. Если вам нужна хоть какая то прочность, забудьте про pentax.

Sorry to learn this, very unfortunate! К сожалению, чтобы узнать это, очень неудачно!
