Very good camera. Excellent quality.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expensive little camera but works *almost* perfectly. I needed a camera to record my two little kids and all their adventures (soccer, baseball, plays, music, etc.). Tried to save money and used my iPhone but had space limitation, quality, etc. was just too difficult. Even tried to use my GoPro but that was horrible for me. Need something to follow my kids when playing sports, didn't shake and can zoom. This camera does that all perfectly. The only issue the camera has is when it is bright outside, can't see the viewfinder well so don't know when to zoom or focus on someone. For example, soccer. When the kids are far away from my position, cannot zoom because I don't know if the lens is hitting my kids cause the bright sunlight makes the viewfinder unusable. This camera lets you connect it directly to a tv to watch the videos that way. Just know that 4k files are HUGE and I had to buy more RAM on my computer to be able to edit videos or it would just crash.

Awesome but unreliable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is awesome. Built in gimbal and extremely easy to use. I rated it 1 star because mine died from hardware failure after 1yr. Manufacturer warranty is nonexistent. Getting the geek squad extra warranty saved me.

Good quality for streaming.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the quality when I put in on my stream. X250 digital zoom. The thing I don’t like is you can’t press record while streaming and when u record without stream is you cant transfer it wirelessly to your phone. There’s a certain format that Iphone can see but not the 4k. Want to see 4k on iphone but guess not
