[@justaiya5532]

Dose it have a timer? For recording video or taking pictures?

[@rhoniereyventura1145]

7:34: Has anyone timed how long it takes for the camera to start recording after powering on? Also will the gyro stabilization work when it's upside down? Thanks, gonna be using it for airsoft gameplay if i do decide to get one

[@Vryx43]

best settings for motorcycle footage?

[@DMatalas]

It would be better IF it had a standard camera mount.. One of the reasons beyond price I don't have a gopro is the bucket of non standard mounts unique to gopro that I don't have or want.. The SJCam M20 comes with a clip with the standard mount at the bottom, but it covers up the display which is helpful if you can actually see it right ? So I have about 50 mug shots of my face squinting to see if the dim blinking light is showing record mode and I some times just chance it.. as a result I miss out on about half of everything I am trying to record..

[@nourelhoss7874]

Would you take this over the GoPro Hero (2014 edition)? I am comparing those 2 because they have the same price (150$) in my country.

[@Paullebbon]

Is the battery the same as the GoPro Hero 4? Also Motion detection, is it the motion in front of the camera or the camera being moved that starts the recording? Thanks in advance.

[@mizzorian]

the motion detector is from the front of the camera (by programme), and not by moving the camera. I would assume the batteries are different, the gopro is rectngular and this one is weirdly shaped

[@jedaibayaga5246]

Can i connect a microphone to the camera?

[@DroneCompilations]

i just receiced my cam and no matter how hard i pull on the battery it refuses to come out. Do you have any advice as to what I can do to help remove it? thanks in advance

[@donmarkon]

I remember that i was slightly hard at mine also. I just pulled that part which is sticking and it got out eventually. You can use some tool for better grip and pull it

[@gruchaz]

Is the zoom a result of digital or optical zoom?

[@jonathanscavs9334]

This looks great where would you order from to get it sent to the U.S. like what website and also are accessories readily available like extra batteries to buy. Also do you know of a camera that is similar to this but has an option for and microphone. Bc I really like this to start out with but kind of wanted one I could add a Mic to

[@seanerikyazon4929]

M20 user here, You mentioned that double file will save on the memcard and on the phone, i turned on this option but it only saves to the memcard. it does not save to camera roll (iphone). i have to use the sjcam app and have to download manually (one picture at a time) in order to save it to camera roll... any thoughts? thanks in advance.

[@DiogoFernandes-tg5cb]

Hi. I can' decide between the M20, the elephone explorer pro (or elite don't know the difference in those 2) and the gitup the gitup git2. Any advise?

[@donmarkon]

+Diogo Fernandes go for M20 or wait for my review of sjcam sj6 legend :)

[@DiogoFernandes-tg5cb]

Ok thanks, i value stabilization a lot and git2 is just superb. The sj6 legend isn't in my budget range sadly :(

[@donmarkon]

+Diogo Fernandes well i didnt tested git2 but m20 has really good stabilisation

[@DatNguyen-sp4wv]

Diogo Fernandes I have the same question :( Have you had your own decision yet? In my country, the M20 is cheaper

[@zahraatulaaina3075]

Do you know how to remove the date and time as the camera captured?

[@donmarkon]

You have option in settings.

[@tomoya9686]

I need some help I cant save the file that I filmed in my M20 in my cellphone even though I connected it to the wifi what will I do

[@nonypestejo6332]

Remove the sd card and insert to your phone

[@czj6448]

Can you tell me which software did you use for video playback and editing? Most of the softwares i tried is very lag

[@donmarkon]

+Chia Zi Jian Adobe Premiere

[@cianoboyleflyfishing]

Is there a chest mount Available for the m20 sjcam ?

[@donmarkon]

+Cian O'Boyle you can use any chest mount and mount m20 with its case on it

[@aguykalaminlangjud]

Boss what app should i download to maneuver this with my phone

[@ioriflameheart3744]

do you thing samsung evo plus 64gb works here?

[@chengfuhang5158]

did you order from the China warehouse or the warehouse in EU?

[@donmarkon]

China warehouse

[@chengfuhang5158]

+RevMeTech how long did it take for delivery? and was there a dependable tracking number?

[@rangeslider]

Excellent review! Thank you. I ordered mine a couple of days back. Excited to get my hands on it. The footage you showed in this video was superb!

[@donmarkon]

Glad to hear that you liked my review :)

[@amittrains3736]

does it have an orientation sensor?

[@donmarkon]

+Modeller's Point no you need to change it manually

[@bryanr.3241]

Excuse me if I missed it in your review , but how is sound while in water proof case ? Can a wireless mic be used for better sound ? The 5000x has horrible sound when inside case. Thank you

[@donmarkon]

M20 has no support for any kind of external mic. Also sound quality in waterproof case - always consider that is like you don't have it :)

[@bryanr.3241]

RevMeTech ok , thank you. I watched the video all over again and you did an excellent job on the review of the M20. When do you think an upgrade might be done to the M20 ? I would like to see a wireless mic capability. Thank you

[@donmarkon]

Bryan Resch Upgrade is already on preorder! www.gearbest.com/sjcam-legend-_gear/?lkid=10130393

[@bryanr.3241]

RevMeTech That is tempting to order , I wonder what the cost will be after pre-sale order ? I might wait for reviews before I buy. Thank you

[@donmarkon]

Bryan Resch Wait for review, i will myself try to get unit for review :)

[@calderon551]

can you mount it on a motorcycle helmet?

[@donmarkon]

you can everything you need you have in box

[@calderon551]

thanks

[@swainbnay]

A great review. Planning to buy this product. Can you please advice if the waterproof casing that comes along with the product is good enough for a scuba dive and also the selfie stick or do I need to upgrade.

[@donmarkon]

+Binay Kumar it is good enough you won't need additional investment :-)

[@jasonism123]

i can't decide..this or the sj5000x elite...help!

[@donmarkon]

+Paul Jason I would go for m20 :)

[@swizzlebeatstv]

Great review. I see it has quite a few mounts included in the box. I was particularly interested in the chest mount where I believe you can just clip it to your shirt and start recording. Do you know if this works well?

[@donmarkon]

Glad to hear that you like my review. Speaking of shirt clip, yes you get bundled in the box. If you clip it on the shirt it will wobble a lot but on some sweater or hoody it will be stable. Or you can get something like this s.click.aliexpress.com/e/YRvRBYbqj

[@swizzlebeatstv]

Nice one. Thanks for the update. Cheers.

[@Spinningfishing-zv4sw]

Which memory card should I use? microSDHC 32GB Kingston Class 10 UHS-I U3 fit?

[@donmarkon]

+Іван Спеціальний it will do the job :-)

[@santoshmh123]

can u test the remote with sj5000+ anyway???

[@donmarkon]

+Santosh Mhaskar remote is just for m20

[@amals0075]

does it support external microphone?

[@donmarkon]

+amals007 no

[@vanjkasiki]

Hvala puno za review. Mislim se dali da kupim GoPro Hero 3+ ili ovu kameru. Molim vas da mi date predlog pa da mogu da odlicim. Unapred hvala

[@donmarkon]

Najbolji savet koji mogu da ti dam je da uporedis snimke (koje mozes naci na linku koji sam okacio) i sam proceniti sta mozes dobiti za zadatu cenu... Generalno GoPro je precenjen pre je bio sinonim za kvalitet ali polako gubi trku u sve jacoj konkurenciji

[@Worldwithoutboarders]

great review. My first action cam was the sj4000 and was an excellent camera then xiaomi yi, dazzne p2 and now my fav is the gitup git2. I got a soft spot for the sj cams and nice to see they are building on success.

[@sta.mriaYT]

Worldwithoutborders Can I ask if sj4000 is a good camera for a beginner in action cameras? 😊

[@donmarkon]

+PO TATO you should buy at least sjcam m20

[@Worldwithoutboarders]

PO TATO I really liked the sj4000 at 50pounds. However it is 3-4 years old now. for 90 pound i am using the Git2 which is better. Maybe the The M20 is newer and better. Yes but there are better cameras out there.

[@tylertay0094]

Awesome review mate! Really appreciate your works! Gonna get it soon! Greetings from Malaysia!

[@donmarkon]

Glad to hear that i helped you :)

[@Shooting-Up]

hi. that was a great review. ive ordered one. thankyou. are you guys getting import duty as all the sellers are in china???

[@donmarkon]

+Barnsley Bitter we do :( custom duties are my mortal enemy ...

[@Shooting-Up]

+RevMeTech i noticed in your review that in the menu was a start recording when power on the device feature does the m20 have a quick record on off feature similar to the gopro hero session? one press switches device on and starts recording then one touch stops recording and switches device off?

[@donmarkon]

+Barnsley Bitter it is feature to be used when dashcam mode is on and yes it can be used in that way

[@Shooting-Up]

+RevMeTech cheers

[@Shooting-Up]

+Barnsley Bitter last question. sorry to pester regarding power on to record? does it only do this when usb power source is plugged into it or does it start recording when you power on manually without the usb lead plugged in? i want it for a helmet cam so this feature would be really handy

[@cybershot1688]

Now I'm convinced. Soon to have this device for my road trips. Very nice review and tips! Kudos

[@donmarkon]

glad i could help mate

[@cybershot1688]

+RevMeTech got mine last week :)

[@donmarkon]

+Christian Pungtilan i hope you like it

[@LPangandian]

im confused, i want to buy sjcam. which one should i get? sj500x elite or m20?

[@donmarkon]

+Lyndon Pangandian get m20

[@j.lucido9536]

M20. Trust me I'm a user 6 months now. I did have same options as you.

[@clrk.m]

Great review! Would've been better if you showed a footage with raw audio of you speaking to the m20 as an audio test.

[@donmarkon]

+Clarkology will include that as download

[@SJCAMOfficialChannelPage]

Thank you for your attentions to SJCAM products, we will have new models of SJ6000 and sth more later this year.

[@donmarkon]

+SJCAM Official Channel cant wait to see it :-)

[@SJCAMOfficialChannelPage]

Thank you again for your support. We will let you know, we can keep in touch.

[@Cosmic_Code]

Ohh sorry, I see in the end of my writing that you mention at the end, you bought it from the same page link I sent u? What was the delivery time from there? I live in Europe also and im wondering if they put tax on with EU or something. Im pretty new at this. What about moist and such? Can it break as fast as a samsung galaxy with tiny moist or? Its a very good cam. Im very impressed.

[@donmarkon]

Glad to hear from you. You need to check what are import fees in your country (google search it) there is limit for item value for which you need to pay extra fee to your country. About the camera you cant go wrong with it, i'm using it all summer here with no problems. Of Course if you use it in water use provided case.

[@dariuszfl4099]

Great job!! do you use micro SD 64GB ?? Ebay description is - UP TO 32GB. what is the best SD for Scam M20 - possible 128GB ? Thanks

[@donmarkon]

+Seafarer FL i use 64gb best size is that which you find best for you... For me that is 64gb :)

[@dariuszfl4099]

+RevMeTech Thanks

[@drasp87]

Great review mate! I want to order one in India. Gearbest does have option for free shipping to India. Has anyone ordered to India before? Do you have any idea? Will they ship it? Thanks. Cheers!

[@rangeslider]

Hey man, I just ordered from Amazon India website. It comes with the extension monopod (selfie stick) and the smart remote :D

[@ARKFPV]

Yes, ordered some stuff, it might / might not reach depending on your luck because of the cheap hasty shipping which you can't track, but Gearbest usually reasonably refunds if you lose your parcel.

[@drasp87]

thanks Arvind Krishnan . the same thing costs twice as much on Sjcam India Website. Thanks for the info ☺

[@abheetnigam]

I need to order on too.

[@abheetnigam]

[@muleskinnerpro]

Too bad I had problems with my M20. Disappointed in the terrible battery life and noticed smears in details. Also had white pixel dots in the movies which was a deal breaker. The sound is only acceptable but no way to add an external microphone . I had the WiFi watch controller but it will only turn the camera off and not on. I agree it had some good qualities, thats why I bought one. Like you said a path in the right direction... Now I am looking for another camera..Maybe a Yi 4K?

[@donmarkon]

There is no such thing as perfection. Pixel dots where (i believe) defective units, readied that on forum. Sound is fine better than on SJ5000X but far away from perfect and yes you cant add external mic (from SJ6 and up you can). Battery life bad? For me it is common sense to have at least 2 batteries... that is enough for 3hrs of demanding recording. Yi 4k || never had opportunity to test, but others give good feedback... But it cost 300+ that is just way too much for my taste ...

[@muleskinnerpro]

Yes I have common sense and 2 batteries + a power bank. I only got 15-20 minutes in 20 degree weather on one battery running 1080P, on a tripod with no sound or gyro turned on. That sucks. The Yi k4 is not $300 it is 199 so it is $80 more but may be worth it with superior video and battery life. No ONE is perfect ether.

[@donmarkon]

Indeed was looking at wrong place price is 200 usd which is tempting now...

[@theheroineinprogress]

Hey, Rev. Question: Which would you prefer: SJ5000X Elite or M20?

[@donmarkon]

m20 with no doubts

[@jepmaningo7770]

hey, thanks for the review. I liked it and I'm thinking of buying this camera this Christmas.

[@donmarkon]

+Jep Maningo you will like it :)

[@dreiamatong2423]

What SD Card are you using?

[@donmarkon]

if i recall samsung micro SD class 10

[@dreiamatong2423]

RevMeTech : Thanks! :)

[@EXQCmoi]

how about the sound quality

[@donmarkon]

+XQCmoi you have part in video where is out if camera footage with audio

[@ashtontuel7072]

can it use GoPro mounts

[@donmarkon]

you can

[@ashtontuel7072]

RevMeTech thanks

[@PauloOliveira-xg9xt]

Great review, for that I'm waiting mine from gearbest. Can you confirm me that Samsung Evo 64gb works fine? thanks

[@donmarkon]

Yes it works, i'm using it :)

[@PauloOliveira-xg9xt]

+RevMeTech thanks, I will order one. bye

[@djledda713]

can you charge the battery inside the m20 or you should put it in a dock charger?? :)

[@donmarkon]

+DJ Ledda you can charge while inside of camera :-)

[@djledda713]

how will you know if its full charge inside the camera??and how about when its on a dock charger??

[@donmarkon]

+DJ Ledda there is led indicator

[@djledda713]

oh ok thanks haha which do u prefer, the Remote Shutter Watch or the Monopod with Remote Shutter?? just thinking which accessories to buy :D coz i got a yunteng monopod with bt remote. im just not sure if its compatible with m20. i mean in its position, well something like that hahah

[@donmarkon]

+DJ Ledda you get official monopod and shutter and you have both because they can be separated :-)

[@donmarkon]

[@mariareginasalazar9176]

good review sir! one question... i don't have the dock charger... will it do any bad to the unit if i keep on charging it directly with my android cellphone charger to the cam? thanks and good vibes!

[@donmarkon]

Dock charger? you can charge it directly with usb from your PC (slow way) faster is with your wall charger... BUT Try to use lower A charger 1A is fine dont over do it! Thanks for support, it is always joy to read positive comment :)

[@mariareginasalazar9176]

thanks a lot! cheers! :)

[@kishore.gollapalli]

Nice Video Mate, Can you please suggest me which is best SJCAM M20 or SJCAM 5000X Elite, I'm more interested on SJCAM 5000X elite edition.

[@donmarkon]

I would recommend you to go with SJCAM M20 is it newer model and in general polished version of SJCAM 5000x

[@kishore.gollapalli]

+RevMeTech thank you

[@dc3763]

Sjajan review, pozdrav komsija! :D

[@RCFunEveryday]

Man I was about to order one as a back up and another angle to my GoPros until you said no external mic :( no good for me on my bike because of heavy wind noise.

[@donmarkon]

Check out my SJ6 review :-)

[@TemujinLLLL]

Great review. Based on this review and accessories review I decided to buy it online from China. How long much it was needed for to come to you from China (if you buy it there)? Поздрав за Краљево.

[@donmarkon]

Well it depends ... but if i asume you have normal shipping, around 2 weeks to your country then it can be hold by customs for further fees ... Puno hvala na pozdravima! :)

[@lagadpankaj]

hellosir, I have 1 question, my sjcam m20 is showing minor noise on video. how to solve this problem?

[@donmarkon]

Low light or day light ? Latest firmware ?

[@lagadpankaj]

RevMeTech In low light it is showing high noise on video and in high light it is showing low noise.

[@lagadpankaj]

I'm using firmware version 1.2.6

[@donmarkon]

+Pankaj Lagad day light or low light

[@donmarkon]

+Pankaj Lagad for low light it is normal

[@L3BNaNi]

i bought one shipped from china , and it's in Chinese i couldn't change the language , can you please guide me through , thanks

[@donmarkon]

It have all languages but it is probably set on chinese from start (my wasn't) power on then press again power button 2 times you will see the menu, press up once then press record select button and finally press up button 7 times, then select it and there you can change language

[@L3BNaNi]

+RevMeTech thank you soooo much it worked

[@AbuTayibaRCVideos]

accent ok, great review

[@donmarkon]

Thank you mate!

[@bulentkara1340]

The battery lasts barely 20+ minutes in full res. recording... 20+ minutes! So terrible. Tech-specs are good but they make no use without a good battery...

[@objectivelense1006]

"NOT" after several months with me..SJCAM is crap..APP does not work, WIFI does not work reliably. Updates updates updates does not correct all issues.. NOT A GOPRO KILLER..... This is the last time i am going to buy SJCAM..I will just save up on a GOPRO

[@donmarkon]

Well correct me if i'm wrong but i never called it GOPRO killer. It is just not comparable as gopro price is a lot bigger. And GoPro as company is slowly falling down, a lot of excellent competition for now they have "name" which keeps them going.

[@MohakAdav]

Great Video Mate ! Will order the cam frm Gearbest dot com :)

[@donmarkon]
