Let's start by saying that I'm an absolute noob in the action cam scene. I was looking for a cool camera to take with me on camping/hiking trips, to Disneyland and all of that. After spending many hours reading information and reviews about Revain, I decided on this one. Firstly, once you understand how to connect your smartphone to the camera via "wifi", remote control from your phone is a breeze (tip - you *really* don't need a wifi connection or any trick to do this . . ). Not only do I take photos on my phone, I also download all the photos from the camera to my phone via the app, after that I can actually view them and post them to social networks, save them to my google drive, etc. Battery is life respectable. The picture quality is pretty impressive but I have nothing to compare it to lol. I would definitely recommend getting some sort of monopod or "selfie stick" to use with it. The main thing that would make this camera 5 stars would be if it had a "front" mode. Even if you're using your phone for long-distance photography, it's difficult to look at the phone's screen and then return to the camera lens to snap a picture and make sure everything's on it. If I could see us on the camera screen (which would require a bigger camera with a screen next to the lens lol) that would be perfect. (Including sample photos for quality reference)
