    My number one quirk is that it only records for up to 16 min continously then it cuts to record another 16 min clip. Another issue is it only has 32gb capacity. The video quality is what you expect for such a cheap device and its terrible when it comes to setup on the device itself.

    This camera is not worth the hassle or money despite it being one of the cheaper options on the market. The battery would not stay charged for more than 10 minutes and we had to reset it everytime we tried to use it.

    I purchased this Vivitar 4K Action Camera, off-brand GoPro, as a learning/training device before taking the plunge on a more expensive and technically fancier GoPro. I do like this device and once we get it figured out then move on to higher end devices I will pass this along to my grandchild.

    Battery did not last long enough to set up. First camera opened to white screen... Will not use any men card larger than 32gb and there is NO WARNING stating that on any packaging or included instructions.

    Save your money and buy a more expensive action camera. Bought for husband & he said the battery only lasts 20 min. & it doesn’t zoom in either. He said cellphone did a better video!
