We ride sport quads (ATVs), so it's fun to have videos of our rides! This camera is a great value for this and other purposes!

This really is a waste of money. The screen monitor has very poor resolution, the recording resolution even worse, tried the 720 to 4K, still bad. The 4K action cam that I bought from China gets better recording resolution than this, and it is much cheaper, and I don’t like the China made paperweight. The app, garbage. The wi-fi connection, comes and goes. It really is bad.
Save yourself some headache, go GoPro.

This camera was a nice surprise based on what I paid for it. I didn't think it was going to be this good, but I was definitely surprised.

Doesn't come with a battery which means you have to buy it separately or keep it on the charger while you use it.

This was purchased for my daughter who is a teenager to start making her own films - (she comes from a family of filmmakers and is a photographer) She loves the remote - and the app that works with her phone. She loves the underwater capabilities. I have recommended this camera to so many people! Especially people who are not too tech inclined but want to make video - it's so simple and so inexpensive!

Bought this for my new sister-in-law so she could take video of our wedding ceremony in MT. The device got super hot and when we popped the battery out, it was smokin’ hot! It was scary. She popped out the SD card and hopefully she got some decent video. We’ll see. Save your money & get a GoPro.

We bought this for our vlogging daughter. She was excited for the GP like look of it. I was excited by the non-GP price. I knew it wouldn't be of GP quality but expected more. The battery life was very very short. We bought the Best Buy associate recommended MicroSD card with it. We ended up returning this product after about a week and a half of trying to use it.
