Nothing special or even particularly interesting here

I think I'm completely done with Ordro products. I have never had the opportunity to correct the old reviews I have written for their product as I am only now realizing what rubbish these cameras are. I've spent a lot of time looking at various Ordro models and have come to the conclusion that they tend to be overpriced, cheaply made and have buggy software - experience enough to know they just aren't worth the asking price. This particular 4K camera has the lowest meaning of the term, more like 2K x 2K. While some of the results are acceptable, the operating system is just insanely clunky. This operating system does not know whether it should be a touchscreen or controlled via buttons under a flip cover. The design of this model is more elegant and compact, but it still seems that it can break at the slightest blow. The main problem is that it doesn't turn off properly, so I have to remove the battery to keep it from draining when not in use. You can transfer files via USB or use it as a webcam, but it's nothing special. Ordro seems to try but fails. I get the impression that this company is in a hurry to release products and does not support these products with updates to improve what they already have. The business model is obviously to launch a product and then just move on to the next version. At this point I would use any other camera.

Pros
  • understandable even for the old
Cons
  • look
