Wolfang GA440 Review : A Budget But Premium Looking Action Camera- Can It Perform The Way It Looks?

[@EM_Karting]

3:00 It's a bit strange that they decided to make the photo button red and the record button grey. Normally the record button is red haha. Just ordered the camera though, looking forward to using it for my karting videos on this channel I am commenting on :)

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Hi Thank you for watching my channel Lets Talk Tech Yes, I totally agree with you about the button colour, there's obviously a reason behind the colour choice, but what that would be I really wouldn't know 😆 I'm glad that you've decided to purchase the GA440, though, and I hope that my channel somewhat helped you decide to make that decision; either way, I personally think it's a great camera and one of the best budget cameras that I've tested so far. Thanks again for commenting, supporting and watching my channel, very much appreciated. Many thanks Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

@lets-talk-tech-uk The review was amazing, thank you for helping me out 😄

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

@EM_Karting Thank you, that's very kind of you to say that. I'm glad that my video helped you out 😉 Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

I've just ordered the GA420 for £70, wish I had it for when we went to The Maldives over Christmas 2024 ! I've seen some accessory kits for the GA420 with replaceable lenses / filters for underwater filming. Also a "selfie" stick with built in battery charger

Hi, great review, most helpful I managed to find on KZbin. Hopefully they update the app for better transfers

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Hi Thank you for watching Lets Talk Tech Thank you for your kind words, very much appreciated 😉 Yes, I agree, it's just the app that spoils the user experience, but in honesty, the amount of emails, and responses that I've received so far has been absolutely incredible, and even when I did the insta360 x3 review, I never got so much watchtime, emails or comments. I think within the next year or 2 Wolfang are going to be dancing with the big boys, and it's been a please doing the review on the Wolfang GA440 Thank you for your comment, and support, extremely appreciated. Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

[@TomRivieremusic]

I just bought one and I am waiting for Amazon to deliver it. Thanks for the info.Although I would have liked you to show the different attachments and how to mount the different possible ways on my motorcycle.

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Hi Thank you for watching Lets Talk Tech Firstly apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I'm Glad to hear that you've bought one, and I am in the process of calling in a few favours from some of my good friends in my old bike club to demonstrate the best way how to mount the camera onto a motorcycle, which I'm sadly unable to do myself as I'm no longer able to ride due to having 3 strokes and no longer in percussion of owning any bikes myself (the wife made me sell the bikes as she knows what I'm like) to demonstrate the best mounting points/places Once I've got some good mounting footage, I will do a video on it (I think you'll be surprised on the best angles to mount the camera) Sorry I couldn't have been more help but many thanks for watching, commenting and supporting my channel, extremely appreciated. Kindest regards, and ride safely Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

Just bought mine 6 days ago on Ebay. £40 brand new with free postage .Still on there they are, Woops .not this one. Got the 420.

[@JoesRandomReviews101]

Great review, we have lots in common on our channels, as I do reviews as well. I will support your channel. Thumbs up 👍. I am a New Subscriber. Cheers Joe 😊

[@Terrybikesandmusic]

Good review. Shame you didn't test wind noise ? as I would be using it on my motorcycle

[@pommiegranite464]

You cannot attach an external microphone.

[@GavinJameson-b6r]

If it wasnt for that fixed battery and it being just 64gb, you would have sold this camera to me, excellent video and sound quality Trouble with fixed batteries is that they have short battery life of just 2 yrs and then its more waste for the landfill. Can you recommend any other action camera that provides the same video and sound quality as what the ga440 produces but has a removable battery and sd card? Would be interesting to see what the other Wolfang action camera are like, if at any point you could do a review on them. Great review though, and ill look forward to other camera reviews that youve got lined up for the near future Gav

[@hdguppies]

GA420 is basically the same camera but with removable consumables. amzn.to/3Wac4AP Same price too.

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

The GA440 has the 5k (@30fps) where the GA420 has only got 4k (@60fps) I'll be honest with you, I haven't tried out the GA420, so maybe I'll put that one on my list, along with the GA460 and the Seeker One that other subscribers have asked me to do ... this could work out expensive 😆 The GA440 is a really good action camera, and I was taken back by how good it was, so testing a few of the others feels quite exciting, especially if they are as good as the GA440 Again thanks for the comment and heads up regarding the GA420 👍 Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Forgot to say The battery life on the GA440 was excellent and in all fairness to Wolfang the size of the internal storage did almost match the batty life when recording in 5k@30fps (with still juice in the battery after the storage ran out) So in all fairness, Wolfang has thought this through .... maybe on the next model that Wolfang brings out, the storage might be increased along with its battery life. Kind regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

[@petronasracing1]

Thks for the upload Brilliant picture quality and very decent mic, sounds as good as my Gopro and far better than the insta360 rs one in vid quality and sound 😊 R u doing anymore Wolfang cameras ?? X

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Hi Apologies for the late reply back I might possibly do more Wolfang action cameras soon, as the GA440 has really opened my eyes in how far budget action cameras have come, and the GA440 has impressed me immensely!! Thank you for commenting, supporting and watching my content, very much appreciated 😀 Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

[@JamesHanney-o3s]

Your right about the Akaso action cameras, all crap in my opinion and the customer care service is shocking beyond belief!! I had the Akaso Brave 7 LE, 7 and the 8 and all was bad, loads of issues and in my opinion picture and sound quality on all 3 was atrocious compared to a few other budget action cameras that I've had ! At least your channel does honest reviews unlike others that I've watched Are you doing any more Wolfang videos of their other camera line ups by any chance Many thanks James

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Hi Apologies for a late reply back I agree the Akaso action cameras are very hyped up in my opinion but I can't remember or not if I tried the Brave 8, maybe that'll be somewhat of an improvement 🤔 The Wolfang GA440 has certainly opened my eyes though regarding its performance and quality in all areas, and hopefully shortly I'll get some different Wolfang models to do reviews on ! Many thanks for commenting, supporting and watching my content, very much appreciated Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

[@hdguppies]

Metal case? Sorry if I missed you mention it.

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Hi Thanks for watching Lets Talk Tech Yes, it's a metal (aluminium) housing that is on the GA440 along with some silicone that is placed around/near the buttons. I'm sure I mentioned that it had a metal casing I did do a lot of takes so might have used a video clip that I missed out saying that it was metal, so apologies if that's what happened. Many thanks for watching, commenting and supporting my channel, very much appreciated Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

[@Avancedafterskool]

Nice vid bud Can u do the a review on the Wolfang Seeker One and the GA460 pls bud as planning on buying a few of one or one of each

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Hi Apologies for late reply back Thank you for your kind compliment 😊 As for doing a review on the Seeker One and the GA460, I have pencilled these two in as possibilities, mainly due to funds because I have to buy other types Tech, just to keep it a little more interesting as I don't get tech freebies offered to me that often (companies tend to forget that, us small YT channels exist !!) I can honestly vouch that GA440 is one very capable action camera, and as stated in my video, if Wolfang keep this type of quality up, I'll be switching my action cameras over to Wolfang !! ... that's how impressed I am with the GA440!! Thank you for commenting, watching and supporting my channel, much appreciated Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

[@pommiegranite464]

Good review, shame there's no external microphone setting.

[@axios101]

Nice video! I am looking for a "secondary" camera to use when travelling (for making walk-in videos and "snap in a forget" attached to cap or backpack shoulder straps during most conceited phases of visits when crowded): would it do the job? Last question: since I plan to make personal video memories of trips, I will use 1080p mainly, max 2.7k 24 fps during night-time or evenings..how much recording time (memory space + battery) would I get? Thanks in adnvance and keep up the good work!!!

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Hi And a very big thank you for watching Lets Talk Tech Firstly thank you for your kind words and I'm glad that you enjoyed the video on the GA440. The Wolfang GA440 will definitely do its job exceedingly well in good lit daylight, as the GA440 produces one the best video quality recordings that I've yet seen on a budget action camera, and I'll be using my GA440 as much as I can myself, despite of all of the other actions cameras that I have here, simply as its so cheap to replace if it ever got damaged, and with the GA440 overall video quality you really can't go wrong. As to your last question, I would recommend that you record in the 5k or 4k@30fps mode as you can always downscale to 1080p after you finalise the edit in your video editor for download, which will give a very clear, better and more satisfying picture quality. With 1080p, you will obviously save a lot of space with the built-in storage available and again will also save you a lot of battery life as well, but this will be at the cost of the overall video quality. 2.7k will again save you space on your internal storage and again will also save you a good amount of battery life, and to be fair, will produce a good quality video in comparison to 1080p. Recording in 1080p whilst having 64gb of storage should in theory give you around 5 hours worth of video and again will save you a healthy amount of battery life, which should be close to 4 to 5 hours (again in theory) When I did my tests in 5k I managed to get around just under 2 hours' worth of footage whilst the battery still had around 10% left, and on 4k@30fps I managed to get around 2 ½ hours worth of footage and had 12% battery remaining, so I would image at 2.7k you could expect 3hrs to 3½ of footage before the battery is dead. But the stats that I've mentioned above, all depend on the settings that you are using, so the only real way to find out, is to experiment around with the camera a little As you will be carrying around your mobile phone with you, you could offload your files to your phone via the ismart dv2 app that Wolfang use for most of their devices, and if you buy a power bank this will solve the battery life and when you combine offloading to the phone and charging the GA440 via a power bank, together you could literally film all day. Sadly due to the Wolfang GA440 small sensor I really would not use it to video in low lighting conditions, and to be fair there are not even many premium action cameras that can tackle low lighting situations very well. Another tip for you is to not use 4k@60fps as I've always found that, at this frame rate cheaper budget cameras record a very poor and grainy picture, so I'd strongly advise keeping it a @30fps which will produce a much more satisfying video quality. Sorry that I couldn't be more pacific in my answers to your questions regarding recording times and battery life, but I hope that what I've said, will give you some idea of what to expect. Many thanks for your comment, support and for watching my channel, extremely appreciated Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

[@mrv5801]

can this action camera be connected to a laptop to transfer the video files?? which video editing software do u recommend??

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Hi Thanks for watching Lets Talk Tech In all honesty I just transfer video and pictures straight to my phone or tablet and then I use PowerDirector to edit the footage. I will check to see if it is possible to download to a pc/laptop the next time I use it and then I'll get back to you ASAP The other way around this is to still download the files to your phone and then connect your phone to the laptop When it comes to video editing software for your laptop, it'll all depend on the power and spec of your laptop itself as most standard laptops wouldn't be able to run 4k on any video editing software. I'm lucky enough to have an Alienware laptop and also a MacBook Air M3 and Macbook Pro M4 to deal with all of my 4k files in which I use DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere Rush and for the Macbooks Final Cut Pro, but I do know that a lot of people rave about Capcut and Clipchamp bit in all honesty I've never tried them Sorry I couldn't have been more help but thank you for watching and supporting my channel, very much appreciated Kindest regards Lucas @lets-tslk-tech-up

[@BoBSmith-jz5dm]

How much better is it than the ga420 ? I just ordered one and then found this , also the ga460, but on a budget so between the ga420/ga440, although is not much more for the ga460, I can get used GA420/ga440 for similar price , just £12 difference, but the I'm leaning towards the ga420 cos of the battery and mem card, once it starts to lose it charge then it won't last as long, also the quality on the ga420 looks decent enough for my needs, I have read that the build quality may not be very good on the ga420, but for the price , hey ho , anyway yes I think I'll stick to the ga420, not sure if is right choice, but yeah that battery change in the future might be an issue and canfit a 128 in the ga420 I believe.I noticed on specs on 3bay that it has "maximum focal length" in the specs for each model , going from 1mm 5mm and 8mm respective of the models , not sure what difference this makes to the quality, maybe to do with the 5k 6k, 1mm to 8mm is quite a jump, it does make me question the decision between the 2 , I do like to get my money's worth lol , , thanks for the video, *edit , p.s also you get a mic adaptor with the ga420 and also wit the ga460

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Hi Firstly Sorry for the delay in getting back to you and thanks for watching my channel Lets Talk Tech In all honesty, both the GA420 and the GA440, both have their 'Pros' and 'Cons' The GA420 has a replaceable battery and SD card, so if the unthinkable happens to the battery (for example, old age), it's easily swapped out, and the same applies to the SD card ... Plus, the fact that the GA420 also comes with a wired Microphone !! However, the GA440 is fantastic for that 'Grab and Go' situation, without you having to worry about if it's got a battery or SD card inserted, hence why I love this camera so much myself, but sadly you can not use a wired microphone with the GA440 bit in its defence the microphone sound quality is fairly decent. As none of the Wolfang action cameras can use wireless Lavalier microphones, I've suggested to most of my subscribers/viewers who have Emailed me about this issue, is to buy and use a microphone that has the onboard recording feature (Neewer CM28/Boya Boyamic/Comica boom X D2 Pro etc) and use the sound file from that recording and sync it to the video when using your video editing software/app. In all honesty, the GA420 is a very good choice, in my honest opinion, and I'm looking forward to doing a review on the GA420 and GA460 very soon at the start of the new year, so that might interest you 😉. Again, many thanks for watching Lets Talk Tech along with your comment and support, it is very much appreciated. Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

[@RandomLifeProductions]

Nah, osmo action 4 280 quid much better option, and that lead is crap, no external mic when I can get wireless…

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Hi And thank you for watching Lets Talk Tech The DJI Osmo Action 4 is in a different league compared to the GA440 and also with a much higher price tag to go with it, so comparing them both together would be slightly unfair in many ways. I understand where Wolfang are going regarding the magnet cable, as I myself have pulled off many a device that was plugged in, so the magnetic cable would prevent that from happening, and I suppose I'm at fault somewhat in the video, as I did make it look a lot worst than what it really is (the magnetism of the charging head is fairly strong to be fair) However, I do strongly agree with you about the GA440 not being able to have any external microphone added, especially when a simple Bluetooth connection could have given some people that option (obviously a USB or jack port would have been far better) Thank you for your very valid comment, and thank you for watching and supporting my channel, very much appreciated. Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

[@carldickinson5812]

Hi all I Can get this for £89.99 or would you say action 4 still ?

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Hi And thanks for watching Lets Talk Tech Haha, that's a hard one, but in all honesty, if you can get the Wolfang GA440 for £89, I would honestly do that, because you can buy 3 of the Wolfang GA440 over just the one DJI Action 4 ... BUT, the DJI Action 4 does offer, better video footage along with being able to add an external microphone, so it all depends in what you are planning to use the camera for. With the DJI Osmo Action 4, you are looking at a premium quality Action camera, that has advantages over the Wolfang GA440 but at a much higher cost, but I personally think that the GA440 is not far off from most of the premium action cameras that's available today, and the budget action cameras are just only going to get better. My suggestion to you is, if you plan at being a distance away from the camera, then you'd need a camera that has a wireless Lavalier microphone BUT if the camera is going to be close to you then I would honestly consider the GA440 The other thing to bear in mind is Customer service !! I've had a few run-ins with DJI customer services, and on both occasions, it really wasn't great at all and VERY time-consuming....BUT with Wolfang customer services, they were not only quick to respond but also extremely quick to resolve all issues, so that might be worth keeping in mind !! Thank you so much for watching, commenting and supporting my channel and if at anytime you need more help or advice please feel free to contact me. Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

[@carldickinson5812]

@@lets-talk-tech-uk thanks for the reply I’m going away next month on a family holiday so I literally just wanted something to take better pictures than my old iPhone and some decent videos. I don’t do any recording day to day. The action 4 to me is the better camera but the Wolfang is in Amazon now for £89:99 so I’m tempted to just get that

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

@carldickinson5812 After using the Wolfang GA440 myself, I was 'for the first time' very surprised that a budget action camera could produce what it did The overall quality (build,video and sound) was far more acceptable for what it cost, which left me feeling quite blown away if I'm going to be honest with you, especially since other budget action cameras failed to do what the GA440 has achieved to my personal preference. Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk

[@DiscoveringSpain]

Mine leaked immediately, don't waist your money on this crap

[@lets-talk-tech-uk]

Leaked ?? Never heard of anyone else claiming that the GA440 leaked, but in all fairness every product may have a small percentage within a certain batch that could potentially have an issue like this happen (for example my Apple Watch Ultra had a swollen battery from brand new that could have potentially leaked) Wolfang has an amazing customer care service so if you get in touch with them or contact Yanice Yang via Facebook (you can find her on the Wolfang Official Club via Facebook) they or she will get the issue sorted very quickly 👍 Thank you for supporting and watching Lets Talk Tech and for commenting and highlighting this issue, I'm sure the staff at Wolfang will get this resolved quickly for you Kindest regards Lucas @lets-talk-tech-uk
