![[5-Yrs Free Data Recovery] GIGASTONE 256GB Micro SD Card, 4K Camera Pro MAX, Compatible with Gopro, Dash Cam, DJI, Drone, Sec](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51o5mfoIUNL._AC_UL165_SR165,165_.jpg)
I’ve been wanting a camera like this for some time, so it’s great to see one that’s come out that’s affordable. It comes with accessories, and a microSD card, as well as charging cables, so you can use it without having to buy anything else.
The camera itself feels very sturdy. The control button on it is solid. There’s nothing flimsy about it.
It’s also magnetic, and one of the accessories is a lanyard with a magnetic pad to attach the camera to. Being magnetic, there are lots of options for mounting on magnetic disks or surfaces.
There are numerous accessories. You can attach it to pretty much everything. There’s also a waterproof case that is nice and sturdy. That’s not something I would use under water, but I suspect I might use it in heavy rain. But if you’re into underwater photography, this would come in very handy.
I didn’t have much trouble with basic set-up, as I followed the instructions in the videos that you can get to via one of the QR codes.
One of the QR codes also gets you to the app that you can use to control the camera with your phone.
There are two ways to use this. With or without the phone app.
The benefit of the phone app is that you can view what you are videotaping real time. It’s a little awkward, as it is with any camera of this type without a screen, so you have to figure out a good MO for yourself to see the screen of your phone while you are using the camera. The one issue with the app is that once the camera is connected via WiFi it automatically starts videotaping, there’s no start and stop button there. You need to pause the recording. If there’s any other way to do this, I haven’t figured it out yet. But that’s not a big deal.
If you use the camera without the app, it’s just a matter of using the button on the camera to start and stop video recording.
Everything is stored on a microSD card, and when the camera is connected, it’s easy to transfer files to your phone. It’s a two-step process. You have to download and then save to your phone.
This has a wide-angle lens. There is some fisheye effect, as there is with all sports cameras with a wide field of division, that you can adjust in post-production with whatever software you use.
To take still photos I believe you have to use the app. I’m not 100% sure yet, as I am still working with the camera to understand its functions and the best way to use it. As I work with the camera, I will update this review.
This does not fully take the place of a GoPro or similar camera, because it lacks features like image stabilization, but it’s lightweight and very easy to use, and does a great job. I am going to use this as a supplement to my other camera because it’s so convenient, and takes quality videos and still images.
I was able to put the camera and all of the accessories that came with it in a very small bag that fits right in my purse. Being able to grab it, turn it on, point and record makes it a great wonderful vlogging option for me.
You really can’t go wrong with this camera. An incredible value for what you get.
