Does not record video or photo; 4:3 aspect ratio; Wrong model sent to

This video glasses was listed as GoVision SOL 1080p model with bluetooth speaker. A completely different model has arrived. No bluetooth speakers - nothing I want or need bluetooth. I wanted videotape sunglasses to record sports in first person. The thing is, that the supplier delivered an item that was listed as incorrect even on their own packing list. However, I have tried unsuccessfully to get it to work. Cons: 1. The USB connection is via a weird micro USB 2.0 cable with an 8-pin micro USB connector on the end of the goggles, which is unreliable. Had to wiggle it just right to register.1a. The Micro USB 2.0 cable is too short to use.2. The glasses have never been recorded (video or photo) even after fully charging indicator; and after performing a push button reset; and after verifying that the included 8GB micro SD memory card is properly installed.3. The video, if recorded (which was never the case), has an aspect ratio of 4:3 - 1440 wide by 1080 high. Technically it's HD, but the world stopped using the 4:3 aspect ratio about 15 years ago. Every camera on every smartphone captures an image with a 16:9 aspect ratio. There are literally millions of tiny cameras on the market. They must have gotten these old models for free, then incorporated them into sunglasses, and then tried to sell them as modern. failure.4. Judging from the footage I've seen on YouTube, there's no image stabilization. You need to keep your head steady to get a good picture.5. The item appears to have been previously discovered. Small details like the USB cable tie and the advertised cleaning cloth were missing. Pros: 1. The glasses turned out to be durable, with good lenses.2. Hard case is good.3. The rubber-coated temples are adjustable (bendable) to fit the glasses snugly to your head. Result: playing around with the glasses for a few hours. They never worked. Sent them back same day. Did not fulfill its main task - the glasses sold for video recording did not record video. Maybe that's why the model name contains "SOL". then tries to sell them as cutting edges. failure.4.
