Why oh why didn't I listen to the battery reviews?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, I bought it, charged it overnight and I get about 3 minutes of battery life from fully charged icon to final bar. What's the point? Back to Best Buy.

Decent camera for short videos
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent when you want to stay under 25 mins of footage. Very hard to connect to the app on your phone. Almost fails 90% of the times. You have to take the SD card out and plug it in your computer to watch the footage on the camera. No issues with recording, quality etc. Great buy for 40 buks

Christmas Present
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took a while to figure it out. Very simple design, but it took a little figuring out to set it up. We couldn't get it to sync up with the app, but it still works on it's own and you just upload it to your computer. It's not a GoPro but good for the price. Great for a younger beginner.

Vivitar 4K Action Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera for three reasons 1. 4K filming ability. 2. Cost 3. Compatibility with GoPro accessories. It has far exceeded my expectations and would absolutely recommend it to others. It is a great, affordable easy to use video camera

Decent camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is great to shoot 2-5 min video for fun. Not really for any kind of video editing or shooting other than just fun and games. Battery life is also horrible. Charge for 2 hours to get 15 min on decent quality resolution.

Decent little camera but....
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The included battery is no good. Otherwise the camera has still shots that are basic but available and 4k video that is best left to more expensive brands. Just out it in 1080p 60fps and get to shooting. Just good luck with the battery life.

meh.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good is that it has lots of feature such as dash cam and 4k. Bad... it does not like the heat. Set it on the dash of my car for a little and the sucker started going Chernobyl. Picture comes out ok but not what I expected. Still get better quality pics from my HTC RE.

Just what we needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.we need a small action cam at a lower price for some investigation work. The wifi portion was crucial and worked well. Battery life was limited but with micro USB we can put a spare battery.

Ok for price
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera is not that bad for price. like they say you get what you pay.

Hey what you pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was the best bang for buck. 4K camera and if I lose it or break it, I’m not hurting my pockets. Doesn’t have the streamline and advance features like GoPro BUT it’s doable. Picture quality in external display is grainy but it works.

Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is great. It performs just like the higher priced models but was inexpensive which is exactly what I needed for a child. Plus it came with lots of useful accessories

Don't buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought this camera would be a great substitute to a GoPro. However, upon using the camera it would run for about 10 seconds and then lock up. I attempted charging overnight again, and on the following day it ran for 20 seconds and then locked up and no buttons could be accessed. It is important to note that I also remove the SD card and installed a different card both of which are the recommended types by the manufacturer, which made no difference. Returned camera and will purchase GoPro.

Decent camera for the price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera because I needed a camera for use in a risky place and did not want to risk losing or damaging a more expensive camera. It seems to give me decent quality video, but ultimately time will tell.
