I bought this item because I wanted an action cam to film some dog-sledding. It picked up mostly ambient sound but not my voice. However, I ended up using more for my snowboarding.I like the durablility of it & the ease of use.The only drawbacks were that buttons were difficult to depress. I often had to remove my gloves just to start filming & stop filming and even then it was difficult.Also, the sound quality was lacking. However, I am still learning how to use it.Overall, the video quality is good. Many people liked the video quality once I put on the PC.
Let me list the things you cannot find out online even from Oregon Scientific.NO view screen so you cannot see what you are aiming at or if it is even in the picture. The computer connections are archaic and the soft ware is not compatible with XP or any higher than 10 year old software. I read the reviews. There is no light adjustment if it is too light you get washed out. It goes back to Oregon not to Amazon which an entirely different set of rules. No adjustment for screen size. If it is a just a bit dark it flickers like an old movie.
It may be other things that are totally useless because if you can not see a picture who cares.And lastly if you do mistake and buy one it is puzzle box to get it out of the box. I read the available information and I thought for the price it seems reasonable. It may be waterproof I will never know. NO image stabilization so it shakes so badly not one of the videos I tried can be watched without agony. faded out nothing. I had to cut some parts and they won't take it back. I will not buy from either company again.
Works as advertised, and an improvement over earlier models. I particularly liked the new on and off buttons, much easier to use. Batteries are easier to change, and I really like the added threaded connector used on cameras and tripods, makes it much more useful.As with the previous versions, the video quality is excellent.The web cam function is great, just wish it could record at the same time.
any little vibration will make the unit turn off. I purchased one of these to take with me on a motorcycle trip thru Peru.The camera stopped working half way thru the trip. the problem is that the memory card reader does not make good contact with the memory card. DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE. GO AHEAD AND SPEND THE EXTRA CHEESE ON A HERO CAM.
It works like review's product, but has 2 problems in my opinion (test only in Mountain Bike sections):1- Sound must be turned off, because the wind noise during the ride;2- To use attached over helmet, this one must be very tightened in your head otherwise the helmet will shake a lot (and the video too);But it was a good purchase.
