    I bought this camera because honestly it was cheep and I wasn’t expecting a hole lot from it, however. It takes amazing video, has a lot of really cool features and the best part was that I could attach a GoPro base mount and use all of my existing GoPro gear with it.

    Poor Battery quality. After giving charge over night the battery drained out with in 15 mins. Also, contacted customer support but they were not able to provide me solution. I asked them for spare battery and where can i buy that. Still they are not able to help me. Vivitar has out sourced the support to some third party company who are not able to handle customer requests as well as replace the device. Tottaly disaapointed with the product. I am looking for go-pro now as an alternative option. My $80 has been wasted.

    I bought this as gift. He tells me he loves it. He wears it on his motorcyle helmet. The videos of his mountain rides are just beautiful. The cost is half that of the popular name brand.

    I had to take this back. It constantly locked up when i tried to go into the wifi menu and i had to remove the battery each time to get it to come back on. I actually started wondering if it would even charge at first. As i had it plugged over night the first night and it still didn't have power. I took the battery out and put it back in the same way and it seemed to do the trick. So my guess is the battery didn't sit right the first time. Dont recomend at all.

    Get what you pay for I guess. It will get the job done but quality is not all that great and not very user friendly. Just don’t expect this to compare to a GoPro by any means but it’s a great price

    Wanted something inexpensive for my young son. For now it works good enough. The only thing I wish was a little easier to use are how u change inbetween settings or previewing the pictures on the camera or when you're not using the wireless watch/controller.

    Let's be honest action camera's aren't for everyone's daily use... they are for that one time where u go do smthg cool.. which isn't everyday.. so might as well buy a more economical gadget..

    Great price, used as a 2nd 4K camera angle, but don't rely on it for audio, or a standalone alone for special events. It overheated indoors, and captured no audio track. The case and accestories were good.

    Was a little hesitant at first when I saw it. But after using a few time and having the wireless remote a bonus. Have to say it works great. Videos have come out looking crisp too.

    The camera is difficult to operate and battery died after 40 minuets after being fully changed. Waste of money
