    I should listened to the BestBuy guy...I thought I knew better...but I didn't. This was AWFUL. Vivitar should leave action cameras to GoPro. Couldn't even get it to record....what a joke. Returned it two days later.

    A piece broke off as soon as I opened the case. Seemed too difficult to use. I didn't understand how it worked or how you were supposed to transfer the videos to your phone and therefore just never even used it.

    Image quality is so bad that you cannot discern details on almost anything that gets recorded. Even on 4K recordings. I returned it after 3 frustrating days trying to find a decent image quality through the various recording modes.

    This product has a manufactural defect. It will not turn on for no reason. Not sure what the issue was, but that was too early in the life of a new product.

    This is a nice cam for a child, I thought the review I wrote before was for the GoPro Hero5. This Vivitar is choppy and I guess if you can't afford the GoPro it is simply ok.

    I wanted to like it but it's too jittery. Video becomes a blur. Would not buy again or recommend. Save 30-40 more bucks and get a gopro.
