Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bough this camera before a trip to capture some pictures of the family in the water. If you are running the screen a lot it east into the battery life, but you can tweak the settings to reduce the time the screen stays on and that helps. Works with standard GoPro accessories so it mated up with accessories purchased at another retailer with no problem. Video and picture quality is very good.

The video is good but I do not understand how to take photos . I cannot tell when the camera is fully charged . Sometimes it records and sometimes it doesn't . The instructions are hard to follow.

Is a great camera, is tiny, and cheaper, battery is not longer, but charge quick!!!

The camera and/or the battery does not work and Best Buy or Vivitar will not stand behind it. It is just a bad purchase.

Don't buy into the people saying the battery doesn't last on this thing, or the picture quality is horrible, or its hard to use. All that is nonsense. For the $40 I paid for this I did not expect $500 GoPro quality and neither should you. Having said that this is still a great camera for someone like me just getting into using action cameras. It has a few different modes including dash cam mode which may just push me to buy another one of these. Also it has wifi(which will drain your battery FAST if you have it on in BFE) which is nice to use at home if need be. I honestly don't use the 4k on this as it eats up too much memory, but the 1080 is just fine and is quite nice for the price I paid($40). FYI recording at 1080 with wifi off got over 2hrs of recording in, and still had battery to spare. Only reason it got 4 stars is that it does seem a little cheaply made, so not sure it would handle being dropped from any height, but once again for the price expectations need to be tempered. Overall this is a good little action camera that you wont break the bank on. Last thing it doesn't say anywhere on the outside packaging, but this camera only supports up to a 32gb micro sd card. Hope this helps someone.

I bought this camera because of features compared to price and thought would be good value. Had reasonable expectations and did not expect GoPro results. Used with my drone and video was average to good. Acceptable. Love all the attachments and ability to use also as dashcam. But battery life was a deal breaker. Contacted support and they act like I don't know how to charge a battery and then the same return to them and pay song and dance. Very disappointed with customer service. I did use and recharge a few more cycles and battery life improved but still not great. Went from 5 minutes to 20 minutes. Seeing similar cameras available online that have better battery life and include a second battery sealed the deal for me. Returned.

Camera has horrible battery life, the feel of the camera feels cheap, battery only lasts about 15 mins when using it with a tablet or phone, takes about 4 hours to charge, I contacted customer support ,process would have taken 2-3 weeks you pay the shipping. I returned it back to Best Buy. Order a DbPower n6 from Amazon comes with 2 batteries and access. Better feel and video quality .

Bought the camera and I am happy with it except the battery has NO LIFE. Battery is dated 09-2017 so it's OLD and probably no good. I bought the camera two months ago. I would have just bought a new battery for it but can't find one that matches it anywhere on the web. VIVITAR if you are reading this and want a better rating and keep a customer you need to make this right. Two new replacement batteries that are not out of date would be nice.

I must say this camera is decent for the price. It has good quality video and picture capabilities. The only problem is it's next to no audio when you listen to it through the device itself you have to plug it into a computer with speakers. Also which is an awful quality or lack thereof is the battery it stays charged for only maybe 15 minutes of video time and you have to plug it in to charge 4 hours in order for it to get a complete charge. It's also difficult to find replacement for backup batteries for this online as of yet. But I would still recommend it for the picture quality and the price like I stated the only downfall is the battery and the devices audio.

not as good as the go pro, but nice for the price,battery life sucks big time.good for the beginner

My son is very excited to use this camera. He plans to attach it to his bike helmet. We were all set to go, and then we discovered that we purchased the wrong size disk. I saw a 'frequently purchased together' listing at the bottom of this item so I thought that was the disk that fit. (I wish the packaging was more clear on the outside as to what size disk it needed.) Unfortunately, I was wrong, so back to the store I go! From what we've seen of the camera (without being able to actually use it) it seems pretty user-friendly.

Great picture and video quality for the price. Would recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money for a GoPro

I tried to give this one a chance, the 4K was appealing, so was the phone control. It has so many issues, though -- it won't keep a connection to your phone for more than a few minutes, I couldn't record videos for more than 6 seconds for whatever reason, the battery life was terrible, the list goes on. I exchanged for a GoPro HERO Black and I am not looking back. The quality difference is DRAMATIC.

The salesperson did everything possible to warn me away from buying this thinking I wanted 4K quality from a cheap Hero alternative that was easy to use. NOPE. I needed a super affordable cam for filming indoors practice sessions. I didn't need high-res graphics, and sound wasn't an issue for my needs. It is not an easy thing to use. No way. But it was manageable and it works. I had it up and running well for my needs within about 10 minutes after finishing its charge. I like this. Not sure I love it, but close. The remote watch and the ability to edit the footage on my phone is great. Altogether, it does precisely what I wanted. And, it makes a super affordable practical 'throw-away' alternative to a GoPro.

I've used this camera for just over a year now, and I still love it! It records good quality photos and videos. The buttons are fairly easy to navigate through. The remote wristband hasn't worked as well as I figured it would. But I have the app on my phone for remote recording. I use this camera for sporting events and hiking. I would recommend this for anyone looking to save a little money over the more popular action cameras.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my son. He is 10 years old and loves it! It's easy to use and durable. The video/picture quality is great too! Excellent for beginner.

Purchased this for my 11 yr old son so he can use it snow boarding and riding the 4 wheeler!!! Works great and came with additional accessories!

This is a great video camera for people who don’t want to spend a lot of money for the higher end ones. Does shoot in 4K which is great for the price.

Bought it for my girlfriend and she seems to like it. Came with 2 mounts, a water tight case, a wrist strap, and a few other things. Takes good pictures and video. Probably not GoPro quality, but much less the price.

Plenty of camera for very reasonable price. Uses Go Pro accessories loads of attachment possibility included. Nice
