Review on Action Camera SJCAM SJ4000 WiFi, 12MP, 1920x1080, 900 mAh, black by Goro Ueda ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend it.

The camera was given to me by my wife on the DR (I chose a model and went and bought it together). Before buying I read a bunch of reviews, that's why I settled on this model. In principle, the camera suits me - it was bought for use in hiking (rafting on mountain rivers). I was pleased with the equipment with an aquabox and various fastener options. Immediately after the purchase, I screwed the fasteners onto the rafting helmet and after 2 months I tried it on a hike - it holds securely, even withstood a flip in the threshold and rafting without a catamaran of about 300 m valuable personnel was lost). Separately, I ordered a float handle and a wrist mount on Aliexpress: in order to expand the scope (shooting while diving and skiing from the mountain). After filming underwater, I'm also thinking about purchasing a red light filter. A little embarrassing is the distortion of vertical lines (bent) for closely spaced subjects. I noticed this when I was shooting a view from the window and the window frame and the edge of the opening got into the frame. I did not see any distortion in distant objects. Well, the lack of remote control is annoying: it would be much more convenient to turn on the recording on the wrist than reach for the camera mounted on the head. I am attaching a photo taken by the camera while diving in the Red Sea: Gulf of Aqaba, Jordan.

Got pros: Price / quality. Availability, although digital, but still stabilization. Aquabox and necessary fasteners included. Shoots good video. Took for shooting from a motorcycle. Some cons: The battery lasts 30-40 minutes at the most, periodically buggy if connected via Wi-Fi to a smartphone.

Its pros: Shoots excellent quality video. Very worthy photos (especially if photographing nature) Different cons: Starts to slow down and freeze at low temperatures.

With its pros. A bunch of fasteners, pleasant to the touch, aquabox norms, does not hang out Some cons: Video quality - godlessly lies in color, red becomes pink. Soft edits don't help. The sound is quiet.
