Customer Review: Seems good for the price
I bought this to mount to my track going motorcycle. The season doesn't start for me until April so I'll have to wait until then to really see what this camera can do. I am pleased with the variety of mounting hardware that it comes with and relative ease of operation. I do recommend connecting it to a Windows PC when viewing the footage. I tried it with a Mac and the images were much darker. It also presented some trouble when I failed to eject it properly from the Mac. I had to connect it to the Windows PC in order to get the thing to delete footage. I did not troubleshoot this so I can't say what the issue was but it did work just fine when connected to a Windows PC. Your results may vary. I think it will do the job nicely. One thing to note is that the microphone is not very strong. It is protected from the elements and therefore nearly muted although I'm sure to get some wind and engine noise from the bike.
Customer Review: An "Action Cam"...?????
The resolution of this "camera" is so poor as to relagate it to the statis of a kid's toy. Granted, it's cheap, waterproof, and nearly immune to shock. Usable videos? Only a distant "sort of"....and that's IF you're sufficiently skilled to actually get it pointed at that which you wish to capture. No view finder = take a guess.
